01 Important discussion

September 29, 1937

Mao Zedong once again called Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and Ren Bishi to further elaborate the Eighth Route Army’s strategic views on fighting in Shanxi. He pointed out that the overall situation in North China is very dangerous. Hebei and Shandong will soon fall, and China's position will become guarding the Yellow River and the Canal. This situation will affect certain changes in the Shanghai front. Nanjing will be bombed. If the Kuomintang does not compromise, it will move its capital. Shanxi will become a special situation in North China. This is basically because there is the Eighth Route Army, followed by Yan Xishan to cooperate with us. The combination of these two forces will result in guerrilla warfare among millions of people. The fundamental policy is to win over the masses, organize mass guerrillas, and implement conditional concentrated operations under this general policy. This telegram is included in the second volume of Collected Works of Mao Zedong.

On the same day, Mao Zedong wrote an article "The Urgent Tasks of the Chinese Revolution after the Establishment of the United Front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", and proposed that a common program is needed to resist Japan. The article pointed out: The "Declaration of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for the Promulgation of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" issued on September 22 and Chiang Kai-shek's remarks on the recognition of the legal status of the CCP issued on the 23rd announced the establishment of cooperation between the two parties. Anti-Japanese war requires a substantial united front, which requires mobilizing the people of the whole country to join the united front. Anti-Japanese war requires a solid united front, which requires a common program. The common program is the course of action of this united front, and at the same time it is a constraint of this united front. What is the common program? This is Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles and the Communist Party's tenth plan for anti-Japanese and national salvation on August 25. However, to implement the Three People's Principles and the Ten Program Guidelines, tools are needed for implementation. This raises the issue of reforming the government and reforming the army. Strengthening the unity of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, strengthening the unity of all compatriots who do not want to be slaves of the country, and implementing all necessary reforms to overcome all difficulties are the urgent tasks of the Chinese revolution today. This article is titled "The Urgent Tasks After the Establishment of the Kuomintang-Communist Cooperation" and is included in the second volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".

Jiang Zemin pointed out in his speech at the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China: Looking back on the history of forty years,We can draw at least four basic conclusions: (1) The establishment, consolidation and development of the socialist system embodies the objective laws of modern Chinese social movements and is the greatest and most profound change in Chinese history. Only socialism can save China, and only socialism can develop China. (2) The socialist system is a system that continuously develops and improves on its own basis. Based on our own national conditions, summarizing practical experience, and according to the actual level of social productivity and the objective requirements for further development, consciously adjust the parts of the production relationship that are not compatible with the productivity, and adjust the parts of the superstructure that are not compatible with the economic foundation. This is what we are The so-called socialist reform. (3) Carrying forward the spirit of patriotism and adhering to the policy of independence and self-reliance is a fundamental experience of the Chinese revolution and the victory of China's socialist construction. (4) The Communist Party of China, armed with Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, is the vanguard of the Chinese working class and a loyal representative of the interests of the people of all ethnic groups in China. It shoulders an extremely important mission in the process of national independence and development.

He pointed out: Based on the above basic conclusions, we must unswervingly combine the universal truth of Marxism with the specific reality of our country, and follow our own path to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. Comrade Deng Xiaoping's theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics is a scientific theory that has been recognized and accepted by hundreds of millions of people after ten years of practical testing. It is a banner that guides us to move forward. Part of this speech is titled "Basic Conclusions of the Forty Years of New China's History" and included in the first volume of "Selected Works of Jiang Zemin".
