On July 11, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping revisited Xibaipo where he recalled the hard-won success of the Communist Party of China(CPC),
reaffirmed the Xibaipo Spirit with “two musts”at its core,
Reiterated the mass line and the fish-and-water friendship between the CPC and the people.
General Secretary Xi emphasized that the CPC shall always stress and uphold“two musts”
in order to keep its flesh-and-blood ties with the people
and lead them in overcoming various risks and challenges along the way.
The Xibaipo Spirit with "two musts" as its core
mainly includes:
the pioneering spirit of having the bravery to fight to the last moment,
the democratic spirit of relying on the masses and adhering to unity,
the spirit of being modest and humble,and the spirit of working hard.
In May 1948, Comrade Mao Zedong led the efforts of moving the Central Committee of the CPC and the PLA headquarters to Xibaipo.
In the next March, they left Xibaipo for Peking.
In Xibaipo, Comrade Mao Zedong and the old generation of revolutionaries led the nationwide Agrarian Reform,
commanded the three major campaigns, held the 2nd Plenary Session of the 7th Central Committee of the CPC,
prepared for the birth of New China
and formed the precious Xibaipo Spirit.
At the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the CPC,
Comrade Mao Zedong put forward "two musts”,
namely must ensure that the comrades continue to be humble, cautious, non-arrogant and patient,
must ensure that the comrades continue to workhard.
As the inheritance and sublimation of the revolutionary spirits such as Jinggangshan Spirit, Long March Spirit and Yan'an Spirit,
the Xibaipo Spirit is the precious wealth of our party
and contains the political complex and the ruling philosophy of the CPC.
Under the new circumstances, we shall bear in mind our original goal, proceed forward,
continue to stand the test of history,
strive to provide new and better answers tohistory and the people,
vigorously carry forward the Xibaipo Spirit,
and make new contributions to building a moderately prosperous society in all respects,
Fulfilling China’sgreat rejuvenation and realizing our China dream!
