We must shoulder the great responsibility of doing a good job of propaganda, ideological and cultural work in the new era and the new journey, as well as the glorious mission. The National Conference on Propaganda, Ideology and Culture held a few days ago formally put forward and systematically elaborated Xi Jinping's Cultural Thought, and made an important deployment of the current and future work of propaganda, ideology and culture, emphasizing that "we should conscientiously put all the requirements of the task into practice, and constantly enhance our working ability and competence, improve the quality and effectiveness of our work, and show a new style and new performance in the struggle and practice of building a strong socialist culture and a modern civilization for the Chinese nation". In the struggle for and practice of building a strong socialist culture and a modern civilization for the Chinese nation, we will display a new image and new functions".

Propaganda, ideological and cultural work has a bearing on the future destiny of the Party, the long-term stability of the country, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the nation. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly summarized the Party's historical experience and gained a deep insight into the development trend of the times, emphasizing that "the Party's leadership in the field of propaganda and ideology should be clearly adhered to," that "the Communist Party's principle of managing the media should be strictly adhered to, and that politicians should be allowed to run newspapers, magazines, radio stations and news websites," and pointed out that "ideological work is an extremely important task of the Party", "firmly grasp the Party's leadership of ideological work", and demanded that "to do a good job of propaganda and ideological work, the whole Party must work together". The whole Party must work together to "establish the concept of overall propaganda and mobilize all sectors on all fronts to do it together". Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, the cause of propaganda, ideology and culture in the new era has made historic achievements, and the situation in the field of ideology has undergone a global and fundamental transformation. Practice has fully demonstrated that adhering to and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job in propaganda, ideology and culture in the new era and new journey.

The 20th CPC National Congress made a major deployment around the theme of "promoting cultural self-confidence and self-improvement, and forging a new glory of socialist culture", and our new cultural mission in the new era is to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a strong cultural country, and build a modern civilization for the Chinese nation from a new starting point. General Secretary Xi Jinping has recently issued important instructions on the comprehensive implementation of the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, taking up the new cultural mission, and doing a good job of propaganda, ideology and cultural work in the new era and on the new journey, and has put forward clear requirements. This National Conference on Propaganda, Ideology and Culture, centered on the study and implementation of Xi Jinping's Cultural Thought, as well as the implementation of the Party's 20th Congress's strategic plan on cultural construction, further clarified the key tasks for doing a good job of propaganda, ideology and culture in the new era and new journey. We should unify our thoughts and actions with the spirit of the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, study and implement Xi Jinping's cultural thought in depth, focus on the primary political task, focus on the new cultural mission, be firm in cultural self-confidence, uphold openness and inclusiveness, insist on observance of righteousness and innovation, and put the requirements of the "Seven Efforts" into practice to continuously open up a new situation for propaganda, ideological and cultural work in the new era. The publicity, ideological and cultural work of the era will continue to open up a new situation.

In order to show a new spirit and new action, we must fully implement key tasks and promote the implementation of all work. In accordance with the deployment of the conference, we should unremittingly use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to gather strength, make efforts to truly learn, truly understand, truly believe, and truly use as well as internalize and transform it; consolidate and strengthen the mainstream ideological opinion for a new era, focusing on enhancing confidence, constantly strengthening positive propaganda, and improving the ability of guiding public opinion; widely practice the core socialist values, and improve and innovate the work of spiritual civilization; promote the prosperous development of cultural undertakings and the cultural industry, and promote the protection and inheritance of Chinese traditional culture; strengthen and improve foreign propaganda work, enhance the spreading power and influence of Chinese civilization; resolutely and effectively prevent and resolve ideological risks, and dare to fight. We should continue to strengthen the study, research and interpretation of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, and consciously implement it into all aspects and the whole process of propaganda, ideological and cultural work, and refine the tasks and initiatives in the light of the actual situation, to ensure the implementation of the tasks, and effectively enhance the sense of responsibility and mission, and practically grasp tightly, do a good job and ensure the actual results.

Only by strengthening the Party's overall leadership of propaganda, ideology and cultural work can we provide strong political guarantee for the new cultural mission. Party committees at all levels should take good propaganda and ideological and cultural work as a major political responsibility, and ensure that the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments on cultural construction are put into practice. Propaganda and cultural departments at all levels should strengthen their political commitment, be courageous in reform and innovation, dare to fight and be good at fighting, and constantly open up a new situation for propaganda, ideology and cultural work in the new era. To implement the political responsibility, be more consciously in the ideological and political action with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core of the CPC Central Committee to maintain a high degree of consistency, and constantly improve the political judgment, political comprehension, political implementation. To be brave in reform and innovation, good at proposing and using new ideas and new mechanisms, better stimulate the propaganda, ideological and cultural work inherent vitality. To strengthen the rule of law, pay more attention to promote the development of propaganda, ideology and culture through the rule of law. To expand the cadres and talents, and constantly improve the propaganda, ideological and cultural work capacity and level, and strive to build a politically competent, realistic and innovative, capable of winning the propaganda, ideological and cultural work team.

The main road is simple, and practical work is the key. We should unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, study and implement Xi Jinping's cultural thought in depth, better shoulder the new cultural mission, forge ahead, observe the righteousness and innovation, struggle unitedly and work solidly, and surely we can continue to write a new chapter in the construction of a strong socialist cultural country and forge a new splendor of the Chinese culture, provide strong ideological guarantee, strong spiritual strength and favorable cultural conditions for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the comprehensive promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
