胡锦涛在庆祝中国共产党成立90周年大会上的讲话

Hu Jintao, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a speech at a grand gathering to celebrate the Party's 90th anniversary on July 1, 2011.

Comrades and Friends,	同志们、朋友们！
We owe all our achievements over the past 90 years to the tenacious struggles waged by Chinese Communists and the people of several generations. The Party's first generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong at the core united with and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in achieving the great victory of the new-democratic revolution, establishing the basic socialist system and creating the fundamental political prerequisite and institutional foundation for all development and progress in contemporary China. The Party's second generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Deng Xiaoping at the core united with and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in starting the great march toward reform and opening up, sounding the bugle of the times for building socialism with Chinese characteristics and ushering in a new period of socialist development. The Party's third generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Jiang Zemin at the core united with and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in steadfastly carrying out reform and opening up, advancing with the times, guiding reform and opening up to move in the right direction, and successfully ushering the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century. Since the Party's Sixteenth National Congress, the Party Central Committee has united with and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in following Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents, fully implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development, energetically promoting scientific development and social harmony, and continuing to advance the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics by building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.	９０年来，我们取得的一切成就，是一代一代中国共产党人同人民一道顽强拼搏、接续奋斗的结果。以毛泽东同志为核心的党的第一代中央领导集体团结带领全党全国各族人民，夺取了新民主主义革命的伟大胜利，确立了社会主义基本制度，为当代中国一切发展进步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基础。以邓小平同志为核心的党的第二代中央领导集体团结带领全党全国各族人民，开启了改革开放的伟大历程，吹响了建设中国特色社会主义的时代号角，开辟了社会主义事业发展新时期。以江泽民同志为核心的党的第三代中央领导集体团结带领全党全国各族人民，坚持改革开放、与时俱进，引领改革开放的航船沿着正确方向破浪前进，成功把中国特色社会主义伟大事业推向２１世纪。党的十六大以来，党中央团结带领全党全国各族人民，以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，深入贯彻落实科学发展观，着力推动科学发展、促进社会和谐，继续在全面建设小康社会实践中推进中国特色社会主义伟大事业。
At this moment when we are marking the 90th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, we cherish the memory of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation who contributed so much to China's revolution, development, and reform and to the founding, consolidation, and growth of the CPC. We cherish the memory of revolutionary martyrs who gave their lives in founding, defending, and building New China. We also cherish the memory of all the forerunners who struggled tenaciously for the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation in modern times. Their tremendous contributions to China and the Chinese nation will go down in the annals of history.	在庆祝中国共产党成立９０周年的时刻，我们深切怀念为中国革命、建设、改革，为中国共产党建立、巩固、发展作出重大贡献的毛泽东、周恩来、刘少奇、朱德、邓小平、陈云等老一辈无产阶级革命家，深切怀念为创立、捍卫、建设新中国而英勇牺牲的革命先烈，深切怀念近代以来为中华民族独立和解放而顽强奋斗的所有先驱。他们为祖国和民族建立的丰功伟绩永垂史册！
On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, I wish to pay high tribute to workers, farmers, and intellectuals throughout China, to the democratic parties, people's organizations, and patriotic figures from all walks of life, and to the People's Liberation Army, People's Armed Police Force, and public security police. I would also like to extend sincere greetings to our compatriots in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan and to overseas Chinese. Lastly, I wish to express cordial thanks to all the foreign friends and people of other countries who are friendly to the Chinese people, and view favorably and support China's revolution, development, and reform endeavors.	在这里，我代表中共中央，向全国广大工人、农民、知识分子，向各民主党派、各人民团体、各界爱国人士，向中国人民解放军、武警部队、公安民警，致以崇高的敬意！向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾同胞以及广大侨胞，致以诚挚的问候！向一切同中国人民友好相处，关心和支持中国革命、建设、改革事业的各国人民和朋友，表示衷心的谢意！
Comrades and Friends,	同志们、朋友们！
We have embarked on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, formed a system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics and established a socialist system with Chinese characteristics. These achievements made over 90 years of endeavors, innovation, and enrichment, should be valued, upheld on a long-term basis and continuously built upon by our Party and people.	经过９０年的奋斗、创造、积累，党和人民必须倍加珍惜、长期坚持、不断发展的成就是：开辟了中国特色社会主义道路，形成了中国特色社会主义理论体系，确立了中国特色社会主义制度。
The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way for China to achieve socialist modernization and create decent lives for its people. In taking the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we should, under the leadership of the CPC and bearing China's basic national conditions in mind, pursue economic development as the central task, uphold the Four Cardinal Principles, be committed to the reform and opening up policy, free and develop the productive forces, strengthen and improve the socialist system, promote the socialist market economy, socialist democracy, an advanced socialist culture, and a harmonious socialist society, and make China a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious modern socialist country.	中国特色社会主义道路，是实现社会主义现代化的必由之路，是创造人民美好生活的必由之路。中国特色社会主义道路，就是在中国共产党领导下，立足基本国情，以经济建设为中心，坚持四项基本原则，坚持改革开放，解放和发展社会生产力，巩固和完善社会主义制度，建设社会主义市场经济、社会主义民主政治、社会主义先进文化、社会主义和谐社会，建设富强民主文明和谐的社会主义现代化国家。
The system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics is sound, which guides the Party and people in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as they advance along the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Party has consistently integrated the basic tenets of Marxism with the specific conditions of China, and it has made two great theoretical achievements in the historical process of adapting Marxism to China's conditions. One is Mao Zedong Thought, which represents the application and development of Marxism-Leninism in China. Mao Zedong Thought has resolved in a systematic way the issue of how to accomplish the new-democratic revolution and socialist revolution in China, a big semi-colonial and semi-feudal country in the East, and made painstaking effort to explore the issue of what kind of socialism China should build and how to build it, thereby making new and creative contributions to enriching Marxism. The other theoretical achievement is the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is a scientific theoretical system consisting of Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development and other major strategic thoughts. It has systematically addressed a series of significant issues, such as what kind of socialism China, a large developing country of over one billion people, should build and how to build it; what kind of party we should build and how to build it; and what kind of development China should achieve and how to achieve it. The system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics represents the continuation and development of Mao Zedong Thought.	中国特色社会主义理论体系，是指导党和人民沿着中国特色社会主义道路实现中华民族伟大复兴的正确理论。我们党坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际结合起来，在推进马克思主义中国化的历史进程中产生了两大理论成果。一大理论成果是毛泽东思想。毛泽东思想是马克思列宁主义在中国的运用和发展，系统回答了在一个半殖民地半封建的东方大国，如何实现新民主主义革命和社会主义革命的问题，并对建设什么样的社会主义、怎样建设社会主义进行了艰辛探索，以创造性的内容为马克思主义宝库增添了新的财富。另一大理论成果是中国特色社会主义理论体系。中国特色社会主义理论体系是包括邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想以及科学发展观等重大战略思想在内的科学理论体系，系统回答了在中国这样一个十几亿人口的发展中大国建设什么样的社会主义、怎样建设社会主义，建设什么样的党、怎样建设党，实现什么样的发展、怎样发展等一系列重大问题，是对毛泽东思想的继承和发展。
