Only unity can lead to victory; only struggle can bring success (People’s Forum).

　　“To study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, we must firmly grasp the profound significance of the past five years’ work and the great transformations of the past decade in the new era; firmly grasp the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; firmly grasp the mission and task of advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-style modernization; firmly grasp the important requirement of using the great self-revolution to lead the great social revolution; and firmly grasp the contemporary call for unity and struggle.” General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his participation in the discussion with the Guangxi delegation at the 20th National Congress of the Party, “All Party members and people of all ethnic groups across the country must unite under the Party’s banner into ‘a solid piece of steel,’ with our hearts aligned and our efforts combined, so as to propel the giant ship of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation forward amid wind and waves, sailing far and wide.”

　　In the report to the 20th National Congress of the Party, from emphasizing that “unity and struggle are the only path for the Chinese people to achieve great historical accomplishments,” to pointing out that “unity is strength, and only through unity can we achieve victory,” and further to calling on all to “unite and strive vigorously to fully build a modern socialist country and comprehensively advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” the concept of “unity and struggle” has emerged as an exceptionally important keyword. As the most distinctive spiritual hallmark of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people over the past century, “unity and struggle” shines even more brightly in the new era, prompting deep reflection and offering profound inspiration.

　　The past five years and the decade since the advent of a new era have been extraordinarily unusual and remarkable in the course of the Party and the country’s development. Over these ten years, we have faced daunting challenges—navigating treacherous shoals, climbing steep slopes, and breaking through formidable barriers. The complexity and severity of the situation confronting the Party, as well as the enormity and arduousness of the tasks it shoulders, are unprecedented in both contemporary times and throughout history. We have stabilized the economy and promoted development; fought poverty and built a moderately prosperous society; controlled the pandemic and withstood major disasters; responded to changing circumstances and turned crises into opportunities... Under the leadership of Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the Party Central Committee has united and led all Party members and people of all ethnic groups across the country to remain steadfast in our confidence, meet difficulties head-on, adopt a series of strategic initiatives, advance a host of transformative practices, achieve breakthrough progress in many areas, and attain landmark accomplishments. We have overcome one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another, created miracle after miracle that have drawn worldwide admiration, and successfully advanced and expanded Chinese-style modernization, demonstrating the vigorous vitality and dynamism of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In evaluating the three major events of the past decade that have profound practical significance and far-reaching historical importance for the cause of the Party and the people, the report to the 20th National Congress of the Party profoundly pointed out: “These are historic victories won through the united struggle of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.” Practice has fully proven that the great achievements of the new era have been forged, accomplished, and striven for by the Party and the people together! Unity and struggle are the only path for the Chinese people, under the leadership of the Party, to create great historical feats!

　　The report of the 20th National Congress of the Party further clarifies the direction for the cause of the Party and the country, serving as both a political declaration and an action program that guides our Party in uniting and leading all ethnic groups across the nation to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and on a new journey. The century-long history of the Party’s struggle has taught us that unity forged around clearly defined goals is the strongest kind of unity, and struggle sustained by close solidarity is the most powerful form of struggle. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Party emphasizes: “From now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead all ethnic groups across the nation in fully building a modern socialist power and achieving the second centenary goal, and to advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in a comprehensive way through Chinese-style modernization.” At present, the most important task is to roll up our sleeves and work hard, steadily and step by step turning the major decisions and deployments made at the 20th National Congress into concrete actions and yielding tangible results. We must rally even more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, bear firmly in mind that empty talk harms the country while practical action strengthens it, maintain unwavering confidence and shared resolve, work diligently and forge ahead bravely, and with the tenacity of never letting go of our grip on the green hills, strive unremittingly to achieve our set goals and write a new chapter in the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.

　　Only through unity can we achieve victory, and only through struggle can we attain success. Only those nations that can unite and strive forward have a bright future; only those political parties that can unite and fight with determination can remain invincible. At present, the world is undergoing a major shift unseen in a century, accelerating its evolution and entering a new period of profound turbulence and change. China’s development has entered an era characterized by both strategic opportunities and mounting risks and challenges, with an increasing number of uncertain and unpredictable factors. We are keenly aware that we must strengthen our sense of urgency and vigilance, adhere to bottom-line thinking, remain ever-alert even in times of peace, and proactively prepare for potential storms and rough seas—ready to withstand major tests marked by fierce winds and towering waves. On the path ahead, as long as we mobilize all positive factors within our reach, unite all forces we can unite, continuously consolidate the great unity of all ethnic groups across the country, and strengthen the great unity of Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad, thus forging a powerful synergy to jointly realize the Chinese Dream, bolstering our resolve, fortitude, and confidence, daring to face difficulties head-on and rising to meet challenges boldly, and making every effort to overcome all obstacles and challenges, we will surely, through tenacious struggle, open up new horizons for our cause and continue to create new miracles that will amaze the world. History and reality have already proven—and will continue to prove—that it is through unity and struggle that we have created a glorious past, and it is precisely through unity and struggle that we will surely forge a bright future!
