Xi Jinping: The people have faith, the country has strength, and the nation has hope. We must improve the people’s ideological awareness, moral standards, and civilized literacy, and improve the level of civilization in the whole society. Carry out extensive education on ideals and beliefs, deepen publicity and education on socialism with Chinese characteristics and the Chinese dream, carry forward the national spirit and the spirit of the times, strengthen patriotism, collectivism, and socialist education, and guide people to establish a correct view of history, nation, country, and culture.
This passage comes from the report of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 18, 2017.
The common belief of the people is the spiritual bond and source of strength between the country and the nation’s survival and development. The country’s prosperity is inseparable from the support of the national spirit, and the progress of the nation depends on the growth of civilization in the whole society. Whether the people have faith is a major event that concerns whether the country has strength and whether the nation has hope. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to the construction of civic morality, upholding integrity and innovating, and deepening the creation of mass spiritual civilization, and promoting the main theme, gathering positive energy, and establishing a new trend. The “Action Plan for Cultivating and Practicing the Core Socialist Values” and the “New Era”The Implementation Outline of Citizens’ Moral Construction, takes cultivating and practicing the core socialist values as the main line, and vigorously promotes the new style of the times. Komiks give full play to the role of party members, cadres and public figures in demonstration, actively promote the sense of advanced models, and continue to release the “Most Beautiful People”, “Model of the Times”, and “China’s Good People”, and carry out eight consecutive “National Moral Model” selection activities. Carry out various new era civilization practice activities in depth, and strive to promote the creation of civilized cities, civilized villages and towns, civilized units, civilized campuses and civilized families. A number of excellent literary and artistic works that reflect the voice of the times and cultivate noble sentiments, and a large number of cultural and public welfare innovative program points such as “Chinese Poetry Conference”, “Speaking” and “Reader” are launched to provide strong spiritual strength and rich moral nourishment for people of all ethnic groups across the country.
If the people have faith, the country has strength. Whether in the face of the sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, or on the forefront of flood prevention, drought relief and rescue, people across the country are in the same boat and unite as one in the face of disasters and disasters. This is the confidence for the country’s prosperity and the hope for the nation to rejuvenate.
Life needs to be driven by faith, and society needs consensus guidanceCinema, development needs value navigation. Faced with the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and more consciously strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization, continuously improve the ideological awareness, moral standards and civilized literacy of all people, help national development, and forge the soul for national progress.
