一百年前，十月革命一聲炮響，給中國送來了馬克思列寧主義。中國先進分子從馬克思列寧主義的科學真理中看到了解決中國問題的出路。在近代以后中國社會的劇烈運動中，在中國人民反抗封建統治和外來侵略的激烈斗爭中，在馬克思列寧主義同中國工人運動的結合過程中，一九二一年中國共產黨應運而生。從此，中國人民謀求民族獨立、人民解放和國家富強、人民幸福的斗爭就有了主心骨，中國人民就從精神上由被動轉為主動。
A hundred years ago, the salvoes of the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China. In the scientific truth of Marxism-Leninism, Chinese progressives saw a solution to China's problems. With the advent of modern times, Chinese society became embroiled in intense upheavals; this was a time of fierce struggle as the Chinese people resisted feudal rule and foreign aggression. It was in the midst of this, in 1921, as Marxism-Leninism was integrated with the Chinese workers' movement, that the Communist Party of China was born. From that moment on, the Chinese people have had in the Party a backbone for their pursuit of national independence and liberation, of a stronger and more prosperous country, and of their own happiness; and the mindset of the Chinese people has changed, from passivity to taking the initiative.
中華民族有五千多年的文明歷史，創造了燦爛的中華文明，為人類作出了卓越貢獻，成為世界上偉大的民族。鴉片戰爭后，中國陷入內憂外患的黑暗境地，中國人民經歷了戰亂頻仍、山河破碎、民不聊生的深重苦難。為了民族復興，無數仁人志士不屈不撓、前仆后繼，進行了可歌可泣的斗爭，進行了各式各樣的嘗試，但終究未能改變舊中國的社會性質和中國人民的悲慘命運。
With a history of more than 5,000 years, our nation created a splendid civilization, made remarkable contributions to mankind, and became one of the world's great nations. But with the Opium War of 1840, China was plunged into the darkness of domestic turmoil and foreign aggression; its people were ravaged by wars, saw their homeland torn, and lived in poverty and despair. With tenacity and heroism, countless dedicated patriots fought, pressed ahead against the odds, and tried every possible means to seek the nation's salvation. But despite their efforts, they were powerless to change the nature of society in old China and the plight of the Chinese people.
實現中華民族偉大復興是近代以來中華民族最偉大的夢想。中國共產黨一經成立，就把實現共產主義作為黨的最高理想和最終目標，義無反顧肩負起實現中華民族偉大復興的歷史使命，團結帶領人民進行了艱苦卓絕的斗爭，譜寫了氣吞山河的壯麗史詩。
National rejuvenation has been the greatest dream of the Chinese people since modern times began. At its founding, the Communist Party of China made realizing Communism its highest ideal and its ultimate goal, and shouldered the historic mission of national rejuvenation. In pursuing this goal, the Party has united the Chinese people and led them through arduous struggles to epic accomplishments.
我們黨深刻認識到，實現中華民族偉大復興，必須推翻壓在中國人民頭上的帝國主義、封建主義、官僚資本主義三座大山，實現民族獨立、人民解放、國家統一、社會穩定。我們黨團結帶領人民找到了一條以農村包圍城市、武裝奪取政權的正確革命道路，進行了二十八年浴血奮戰，完成了新民主主義革命，一九四九年建立了中華人民共和國，實現了中國從幾千年封建專制政治向人民民主的偉大飛躍。
Our Party was deeply aware that, to achieve national rejuvenation, it was critical to topple the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat-capitalism that were oppressing the Chinese people, and realize China's independence, the people's liberation, national reunification, and social stability. Our Party united the people and led them in embarking on the right revolutionary path, using rural areas to encircle the cities and seizing state power with military force. We completed the New Democratic Revolution through 28 years of painful struggle, and founded the People's Republic of China in 1949, thus marking China's great transition from a millennia-old feudal autocracy to a people’s democracy.
我們黨深刻認識到，實現中華民族偉大復興，必須建立符合我國實際的先進社會制度。我們黨團結帶領人民完成社會主義革命，確立社會主義基本制度，推進社會主義建設，完成了中華民族有史以來最為廣泛而深刻的社會變革，為當代中國一切發展進步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基礎，實現了中華民族由近代不斷衰落到根本扭轉命運、持續走向繁榮富強的偉大飛躍。
Our Party was deeply aware that, to achieve national rejuvenation, it was essential to establish an advanced social system that fits China's reality. It united the people and led them in completing socialist revolution, establishing socialism as China's basic system, and advancing socialist construction. This completed the broadest and most profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation. It created the fundamental political conditions and the institutional foundation for achieving all development and progress in China today. Thus was made a great transition: The Chinese nation reversed its fate from the continuous decline of modem times to steady progress toward prosperity and strength.
我們黨深刻認識到，實現中華民族偉大復興，必須合乎時代潮流、順應人民意愿，勇于改革開放，讓黨和人民事業始終充滿奮勇前進的強大動力。我們黨團結帶領人民進行改革開放新的偉大革命，破除阻礙國家和民族發展的一切思想和體制障礙，開辟了中國特色社會主義道路，使中國大踏步趕上時代。
Our Party was deeply aware that, to achieve national rejuvenation, it was imperative to follow the tide of the times, respond to the wishes of the people, and have the courage to reform and open; and this awareness created a powerful force for advancing the cause of the Party and the people. Our Party united the people and led them in launching the great new revolution of reform and opening up, in removing all ideological and institutional barriers to our country and nation's development, and in embarking on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Thus was China able to stride ahead to catch up with the times.
九十六年來，為了實現中華民族偉大復興的歷史使命，無論是弱小還是強大，無論是順境還是逆境，我們黨都初心不改、矢志不渝，團結帶領人民歷經千難萬險，付出巨大犧牲，敢于面對曲折，勇于修正錯誤，攻克了一個又一個看似不可攻克的難關，創造了一個又一個彪炳史冊的人間奇跡。
Over the past 96 years, to accomplish the historic mission of national rejuvenation, whether in times of weakness or strength, whether in times of adversity or smooth sailing, our Party has never forgotten its founding mission, nor wavered in its pursuit. It has united the people and led them in conquering countless challenges, making enormous sacrifices, meeting setbacks squarely, and courageously righting wrongs. Thus we have, time and again, overcome the seemingly insurmountable and created miracle upon miracle.
同志們！今天，我們比歷史上任何時期都更接近、更有信心和能力實現中華民族偉大復興的目標。
Comrades,
Today, we are closer, more confident, and more capable than ever before of making the goal of national rejuvenation a reality.
行百里者半九十。中華民族偉大復興，絕不是輕輕松松、敲鑼打鼓就能實現的。全黨必須準備付出更為艱巨、更為艱苦的努力。
As the Chinese saying goes, the last leg of a journey just marks the halfway point. Achieving national rejuvenation will be no walk in the park; it will take more than drum beating and gong clanging to get there. Every one of us in the Party must be prepared to work even harder toward this goal.
實現偉大夢想，必須進行偉大斗爭。社會是在矛盾運動中前進的，有矛盾就會有斗爭。我們黨要團結帶領人民有效應對重大挑戰、抵御重大風險、克服重大阻力、解決重大矛盾，必須進行具有許多新的歷史特點的偉大斗爭，任何貪圖享受、消極懈怠、回避矛盾的思想和行為都是錯誤的。全黨要更加自覺地堅持黨的領導和我國社會主義制度，堅決反對一切削弱、歪曲、否定黨的領導和我國社會主義制度的言行；更加自覺地維護人民利益，堅決反對一切損害人民利益、脫離群眾的行為；更加自覺地投身改革創新時代潮流，堅決破除一切頑瘴痼疾；更加自覺地維護我國主權、安全、發展利益，堅決反對一切分裂祖國、破壞民族團結和社會和諧穩定的行為；更加自覺地防范各種風險，堅決戰勝一切在政治、經濟、文化、社會等領域和自然界出現的困難和挑戰。全黨要充分認識這場偉大斗爭的長期性、復雜性、艱巨性，發揚斗爭精神，提高斗爭本領，不斷奪取偉大斗爭新勝利。
Realizing our great dream demands a great struggle. It is in the movement of contradictions that a society advances; where there is contradiction there is struggle. If our Party is to unite and lead the people to effectively respond to major challenges, withstand major risks, overcome major obstacles, and address major conflicts, it must undertake a great struggle with many new contemporary features. All thinking and behavior in the vein of pleasure seeking, inaction and sloth, and problem avoidance are unacceptable. Every one of us in the Party must do more to uphold Party leadership and the Chinese socialist system, and resolutely oppose all statements and actions that undermine, distort, or negate them. We must do more to protect our people's interests, and firmly oppose all moves that damage their interests or put distance between the Party and the people. We must do more to devote our energies to the contemporary current of reform and innovation, and resolvedly address deep-rooted problems. We must do more to safeguard China's sovereignty, security, and development interests, and staunchly oppose all attempts to split China or undermine its ethnic unity, social harmony and stability. We must do more to guard against all kinds of risks, and work determinedly to prevail over every political, economic, cultural, social, and natural difficulty and challenge. Every Party member must fully appreciate the long-term, complex, and onerous nature of this great struggle; we must be ready to fight, build our ability, and keep striving to secure new victories in this great struggle.
實現偉大夢想，必須建設偉大工程。這個偉大工程就是我們黨正在深入推進的黨的建設新的偉大工程。歷史已經并將繼續證明，沒有中國共產黨的領導，民族復興必然是空想。我們黨要始終成為時代先鋒、民族脊梁，始終成為馬克思主義執政黨，自身必須始終過硬。全黨要更加自覺地堅定黨性原則，勇于直面問題，敢于刮骨療毒，消除一切損害黨的先進性和純潔性的因素，清除一切侵蝕黨的健康肌體的病毒，不斷增強黨的政治領導力、思想引領力、群眾組織力、社會號召力，確保我們黨永葆旺盛生命力和強大戰斗力。
Realizing our great dream demands a great project. This project is the great new project of Party building that is just getting into full swing. As history has shown and will continue to bear witness to, without the leadership of the Communist Party of China, national rejuvenation would be just wishful thinking. To remain the vanguard of the times, the backbone of the nation, and a Marxist governing party, our Party must always hold itself to the highest standards. Every Party member must be more actively involved in enhancing Party consciousness, and demonstrate commitment to Party principles. We must have the courage to face problems squarely, be braced for the pain, act to remove whatever undermines the Party's purity and advanced nature, and rid ourselves of any virus that erodes the Party's health. We must keep on strengthening the Party's ability to lead politically, to guide through theory, to organize the people, and to inspire society, thus ensuring that the Party's great vitality and strong ability are forever maintained.
實現偉大夢想，必須推進偉大事業。中國特色社會主義是改革開放以來黨的全部理論和實踐的主題，是黨和人民歷盡千辛萬苦、付出巨大代價取得的根本成就。中國特色社會主義道路是實現社會主義現代化、創造人民美好生活的必由之路，中國特色社會主義理論體系是指導黨和人民實現中華民族偉大復興的正確理論，中國特色社會主義制度是當代中國發展進步的根本制度保障，中國特色社會主義文化是激勵全黨全國各族人民奮勇前進的強大精神力量。全黨要更加自覺地增強道路自信、理論自信、制度自信、文化自信，既不走封閉僵化的老路，也不走改旗易幟的邪路，保持政治定力，堅持實干興邦，始終堅持和發展中國特色社會主義。
Realizing our great dream demands a great cause. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has been the focus of all of the Party's theories and practice since reform and opening up began. It is the fundamental achievement of our Party and our people made through countless hardships at enormous cost. The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only path to socialist modernization and a better life for the people. The theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the right theory to guide the Party and people to realize national rejuvenation. The system of socialism with Chinese characteristics provides the fundamental institutional guarantee for progress and development in contemporary China. The culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a powerful source of strength that inspires all members of the Party and the people of all ethnic groups in China. Our whole Party must strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must neither retrace our steps to the rigidity and isolation of the past, nor take the wrong turn by changing our nature and abandoning our system. We must maintain our political orientation, do the good solid work that sees our country thrive, and continue to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.
偉大斗爭，偉大工程，偉大事業，偉大夢想，緊密聯系、相互貫通、相互作用，其中起決定性作用的是黨的建設新的偉大工程。推進偉大工程，要結合偉大斗爭、偉大事業、偉大夢想的實踐來進行，確保黨在世界形勢深刻變化的歷史進程中始終走在時代前列，在應對國內外各種風險和考驗的歷史進程中始終成為全國人民的主心骨，在堅持和發展中國特色社會主義的歷史進程中始終成為堅強領導核心。
This great struggle, great project, great cause, and great dream are closely connected, flow seamlessly into each other, and are mutually reinforcing. Among them, the great new project of Party building plays the decisive role. All work to advance this project must go hand in hand with that geared toward the struggle, the cause, and the dream. We must see that as history progresses and the world undergoes profound changes, the Party remains always ahead of the times; that as history progresses and we respond to risks and tests at home and abroad, the Party remains always the backbone of the nation; and that as history progresses and we continue to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Party remains always a powerful leadership core.
同志們！使命呼喚擔當，使命引領未來。我們要不負人民重托、無愧歷史選擇，在新時代中國特色社會主義的偉大實踐中，以黨的堅強領導和頑強奮斗，激勵全體中華兒女不斷奮進，凝聚起同心共筑中國夢的磅礴力量！
Comrades,
Our mission is a call to action; our mission steers the course to the future. We must live up to the trust the people have placed in us and prove ourselves worthy of history's choice. In the great endeavors of building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, let us get behind the strong leadership of the Party and engage in a tenacious struggle. Let all of us, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, come together, keep going, and create a mighty force that enables us to realize the Chinese Dream.
