Theoretical innovation:
Use the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "de" of China in the new era.
Last year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made the same conclusion on different occasions: "Why can the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Socialism with Chinese characteristics be good? In the final analysis, it is because of Marxism."
In this year’s "New Year’s First Lesson", the General Secretary made a further exposition: "The reason why Marxism works is that the Party constantly promotes the modernization of Marxism in China and uses it to guide practice."

Eighty years ago, in February 1942, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward a proposition at the opening ceremony of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: "How can Marxism–Leninism Theory and China’s revolutionary reality relate to each other? Take a popular saying, that is ‘ Targeted ’ " . "The arrow of Marxism–Leninism must be used to shoot the China Revolution."
As the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, the Communist Party of China (CPC) promotes the modernization of Marxism in China, which is in the same strain and keeps pace with the times. At this year’s opening ceremony, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that we should persist in emancipating our minds, seeking truth from facts, being upright and innovative, and better unify upholding and developing Marxism.Insist on using the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "de" of China in the new era.

In his speech that day, the General Secretary pointed out, "In the face of a rapidly changing world and China, if you stick to the rules, have rigid ideas, and have no courage to innovate in theory, you can’t scientifically answer China’s questions, the questions of the world, the questions of the people, and the questions of the times. Not only can the cause of the party and the country not continue to advance, but Marxism will also lose its vitality and persuasiveness."
Following the first proposal of "combining the two" on July 1 last year, the General Secretary once again stressed in the "New Year’s First Lesson" that we should continue.Promote the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture.Continue to write a new chapter in the modernization of Marxism in China.

What do you think?
Correctly grasp the societyPrincipal contradiction and central task
Many people have this personal experience: in the face of complex situations, complex contradictions and heavy tasks, there is no priority and no distinction, and it is impossible to do a good job.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the "First Lesson of the New Year" that the century-long struggle of the Party tells us that whether the cause of the Party and the people can advance in the right direction depends on whether we can accurately understand and grasp the main social contradictions and determine the central tasks.

The third historical resolution adopted at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee outlined the historical changes of major social contradictions in China: from "the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the masses of the people" to "the national contradiction between China and Japan gradually surpassed the domestic class contradiction and rose to become the main contradiction", from "the contradiction between the working class and the bourgeoisie", to "the contradiction between the people’s growing material and cultural needs and backward social production" and then to "the people’s growing need for a better life".
With the change of principal contradiction, the central task also changes. The general secretary said that the resolution of this plenary session made a comprehensive analysis of the party’s ability to grasp the main social contradictions and the central task to drive the overall work.
