(Excerpts from Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context: A Glorious Chapter in CPC’s Hundred-Year History by Wang Weiguang, Qiushi Journal, No. 04, 2021 )
以馬克思主義武裝起來的中國共產黨帶領人民走出了一條民族復興的光明之路
Equipped with Marxism, the CPC led the people in blazing a promising path toward national rejuvenation
馬克思主義使中國共產黨得以擺脱以往一切政治力量追求自身特殊利益的侷限，以唯物辯證的科學精神、無私無畏的博大胸懷領導和推動中國革命、建設、改革。中國共產黨誕生後，中國共產黨人把馬克思主義基本原理同中國革命和建設具體實際結合起來，團結帶領人民經過長期奮鬥，完成新民主主義革命和社會主義革命，建立起中華人民共和國和社會主義基本制度，進行了社會主義建設的探索，實現了中華民族從東亞病夫到站起來的偉大飛躍。改革開放以後，中國共產黨人把馬克思主義基本原理同中國改革開放的具體實際結合起來，團結帶領人民進行建設中國特色社會主義新的偉大實踐，使中國大踏步趕上了時代，實現了中華民族從站起來到富起來的偉大飛躍。在新時代，中國共產黨人把馬克思主義基本原理同新時代中國具體實際結合起來，團結帶領人民進行偉大斗爭、建設偉大工程、推進偉大事業、實現偉大夢想，推動黨和國家事業取得全方位、開創性歷史性成就，發生深層次、根本性歷史變革，中華民族迎來了從富起來到強起來的偉大飛躍，迎來了實現偉大復興的光明前景。實踐證明，馬克思主義的命運早已同中國共產黨的命運、中國人民的命運、中華民族的命運緊緊連在一起，它的科學性和真理性在中國已經得到了充分檢驗。
Marxism has enabled the CPC to transcend the limitations of all other political forces that came before it, which invariably pursued their own special interests. Drawing from the scientific spirit of materialist dialectics, and from its selfless and fearless character, the CPC led and advanced China’s revolution, socialist construction, and reform. Following the emergence of the CPC, Chinese Communists fused the tenets of Marxism with the practical realities of China’s revolution and development, and united the people and led them through a protracted struggle, completing the new democratic revolution and socialist revolution, founding the People’s Republic of China and establishing China’s basic socialist system, and carrying out explorations in developing socialism. They thus transformed China from the “sick man of East Asia” to nation that had stood up in a tremendous leap. After the launch of reform and opening up in the late 1970s, Chinese Communists fused the tenets of Marxism with the practical realities of reform and opening up, and united the people and led them in developing the great new endeavor of socialism with Chinese characteristics, enabling China to catch up with times in great strides. They thus brought about another tremendous leap, making the Chinese nation one that had not only stood up but was now also growing prosperous. In the new era, Chinese Communists have fused the tenets of Marxism with China’s current practical realities, and united the people and led them in carrying out a great struggle, developing a great project, advancing a great cause, and realizing a great dream. This has enabled the cause of the Party and the country to secure groundbreaking achievements across the board and to transform in historic and fundamental ways. The Chinese nation is now on the cusp of yet another tremendous leap from growing prosperous to becoming strong, and is embracing bright prospects for national rejuvenation. It has been proven through practice that the fate of Marxism has long been closely intertwined with that of the CPC, the Chinese people, and the Chinese nation. The science and truth of Marxism have been fully tested in China.
