Theory of Three Represents not only adhered to the basic principles of Marxism, but also reflected the new requirements of the development and changes of the world and China for the work of the party and the state. With new ideas, viewpoints and conclusions, he inherited, enriched and developed Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.

Jiang Zemin's life was a great one and a glorious one. He made profound thoughts on the development path of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and put forward that development must be regarded as the top priority of the party in governing and rejuvenating the country, and constantly create a new situation of modernization. He pointed out that the overall situation of the Party's work is to seize opportunities, deepen reform, expand opening up, promote development and maintain stability, which is a policy that must be adhered to for a long time.

It is necessary to fully grasp all the contents of the party's basic line, and unify the center of economic construction with the four cardinal principles and the two basic points of reform and opening up in the great practice of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which runs through the whole process of modernization. He pointed out that development is the last word, which is a strategic thought that we must always adhere to. Only when we are rich can we be bold, and we will be beaten if we lag behind. As long as our economic strength, national defense strength, and national cohesion are constantly strengthened, we can "ride a fishing boat despite the storm".

He profoundly analyzed the new situation faced by the party and the country, and keenly pointed out that looking at the overall situation, the first 20 years of the 21st century will be an important period of strategic opportunities for our country, which must be firmly grasped and can make great achievements. We must have the initiative spirit and sense of hardship, seize the opportunity and never lose it, forge ahead instead of following the old ways, concentrate the wisdom and strength of the people of the whole country, concentrate on construction, devote ourselves to development, and constantly promote socialist material civilization and development. The construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics should be a process of all-round development of China's economy, politics and culture, and a process of all-round construction of China's socialist material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization.

He pointed out that when we build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, all our work should focus on the people's actual material and cultural needs, and at the same time, we should focus on improving people's quality, that is, we should strive to promote people's all-round development. Promoting people's all-round development and promoting economic, political and cultural development and improving people's material and cultural life are the preconditions and foundations of each other.

He stressed that to correctly understand and handle the relationship between reform, development and stability, reform is the driving force, development is the goal, and stability is the prerequisite. It is necessary to unify the intensity of reform, the speed of development, and the affordability of society, and make continuous improvement of people's lives an important combination point in handling the relationship between reform, development and stability, so as to promote reform and development in social stability and promote social stability through reform and development.

Jiang Zemin pointed out that the first 20 years of the 21st century is the stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way, which enriches and develops Socialism with Chinese characteristics's development stage and strategy, conforms to China's national conditions and people's wishes, and is conducive to the broadest and fullest mobilization of all positive factors to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

In 1990s, Jiang Zemin made forward-looking strategic thinking on building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the third-step strategic goal. In the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he initially outlined the blueprint for realizing the third-step strategic goal, pointing out that looking forward to the next century, our goal is to double the gross national product of 2000 in the first decade, make people's well-off life more affluent, and form a relatively complete socialist market economic system; After another ten years of hard work, by the centenary of the founding of the Party, the national economy will be further developed and various systems will be more perfect; By the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the middle of the century, modernization will be basically realized and a prosperous, strong, democratic and civilized socialist country will be built.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 15th CPC Central Committee further proposed that starting from the new century, China will enter a new development stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization. At the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he profoundly expounded the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, stressing that in the first 20 years of this century, we should concentrate our efforts on building a well-off society at a higher level that will benefit more than one billion people, so as to make the economy more developed, democracy more sound, science and education more advanced, culture more prosperous, society more harmonious and people's life more solid. This is the necessary development stage to realize the third-step strategic goal of modernization, and it is also the key stage to improve the socialist market economic system and expand opening to the outside world.

Regarding the fundamental task of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, Jiang Zemin pointed out that it is necessary to give top priority to the development of social productive forces and constantly promote the development of advanced productive forces, which is the fundamental embodiment and requirement for the party to always stand at the forefront of the times and maintain its advanced nature.

He emphasized that people are the most decisive force in productive forces, and the working class, including intellectuals, and the broad masses of peasants are always the fundamental force to promote the development of China's advanced productive forces and the overall progress of society. Entrepreneurs and technicians of private science and technology enterprises, management technicians employed by foreign-funded enterprises, self-employed individuals, private entrepreneurs, employees of intermediary organizations, freelancers and other social strata that emerged in the social transformation are all career builders of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

He pointed out that human resources are the first resource, and party committees and governments at all levels should focus on the long-term development of the cause of the party and the state and the overall needs of talents, firmly grasp the three links of cultivating, attracting and making good use of talents, and vigorously implement the talent strategy. He attached great importance to the important role of science and technology in promoting the development of social productive forces, and stressed that we should keep in mind the truth that without strong scientific and technological strength, there would be no socialist modernization.

He proposed that knowledge innovation and scientific and technological innovation should be vigorously promoted, a national knowledge innovation system should be built, independent innovation capability should be enhanced, and technological development should be leapfrogged. He stressed that it is necessary to constantly improve the socialist relations of production and superstructure, constantly open up a broader thoroughfare for the liberation and development of productive forces, and further deepen the theoretical thinking on China's socialist reform in combination with new practice.

He pointed out that by carefully summarizing the lessons of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, as well as the lessons of our "Cultural Revolution", and deeply analyzing their causes, we can draw two conclusions: First, we must adhere to socialism; Second, we must carry out socialist reform and explore a socialist development path that is in line with our country's reality.

He emphasized that innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity. We must unswervingly push forward reforms in all aspects. We should proceed from reality, push forward the reforms as a whole, focus on breakthroughs, step by step, and pay attention to system construction and innovation. In the 1990s, with the great courage of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to persist in theoretical innovation and keep pace with the times, he established the reform goal and basic framework of the socialist market economic system, established the basic economic system with public ownership as the main body and multiple ownership economies developing together in the primary stage of socialism, and the distribution system with distribution according to work as the main body and multiple distribution modes coexisting, thus creating a new situation of comprehensive reform and opening up.

In June, 1992, he put forward that it was imperative to fundamentally reform the highly centralized planned economic system, otherwise it would be impossible to realize China's modernization. According to the spirit of Deng Xiaoping's southern talk, he explicitly put forward the formulation of "socialist market economic system", which made important ideological and theoretical preparations for the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China officially established the establishment of socialist market economic system as the goal of China's economic system reform.

The Decision on Several Issues Concerning the Establishment of Socialist Market Economic System adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 14th CPC Central Committee formulated the overall plan for the establishment of socialist market economic system. By the end of the 20th century, China had initially established the basic framework of the socialist market economic system.

He pointed out that public ownership as the main body and the common development of various ownership economies are a basic economic system in the primary stage of socialism in China. The forms of public ownership can and should be diversified; It is a form of capital organization of modern joint-stock enterprises. Capitalism can be used as well as socialism. We must unswervingly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy, and we must unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of the non-public sector.

He stressed that reforming the state-owned assets management system is an important task to deepen the reform of the economic system, and it is necessary to give full play to the initiative of the central and local governments on the premise of adhering to state ownership. He pointed out that state-owned enterprises are the backbone of China's national economy, and the reform of state-owned enterprises is the central link of China's economic system reform. We should focus on doing a good job in the whole state-owned economy, doing a good job in the big ones and letting the small ones loose, and implementing strategic restructuring of state-owned enterprises.

He pointed out that the establishment of a modern enterprise system is the direction of the reform of state-owned enterprises. According to the requirements of "clear property rights, clear rights and responsibilities, separation of government and enterprises, and scientific management", we should implement a standardized company system reform for large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, so that enterprises can become legal entities and competition subjects that adapt to the market.

He pointed out that giving full play to the role of the market mechanism and strengthening macro-control are the basic requirements for the establishment of the socialist market economic system. We should speed up the improvement of the macro-control system, deepen the reform of the financial, fiscal and planning systems, improve the macro-control means and coordination mechanism, implement moderately tight fiscal and monetary policies, and pay attention to control efforts. He stressed that straightening out the distribution relationship is related to the vital interests and enthusiasm of the masses. We should improve the distribution system with distribution according to work as the main body and multiple distribution modes coexisting, insist on giving priority to efficiency and giving consideration to fairness, establish and improve a social security system that is compatible with the level of economic development, improve the basic old-age insurance system for urban workers and basic medical insurance system, improve the unemployment insurance system and the minimum living guarantee system for urban residents, and explore the establishment of rural old-age insurance, medical insurance and minimum living guarantee system.

In the 1990s, Jiang Zemin firmly grasped the trend of accelerating economic globalization, and emphasized that if China wanted to develop, make progress, and become rich and strong, it must open to the outside world, strengthen its economic, technological, and cultural exchanges and cooperation with other countries in the world, and absorb and learn from all advanced things. He pointed out that we should further improve relevant policies, continue to unswervingly expand opening up to the outside world, constantly enrich the forms and contents of opening up to the outside world, constantly improve the quality and level of opening up to the outside world, and improve the all-round, multi-level and wide-ranging opening-up pattern. Joining the World Trade Organization is an important strategic decision made by the Party for the needs of China's economic development and reform and opening-up, which indicates that China's opening-up has entered a new stage.

Jiang Zemin expounded the principles of China's accession to the World Trade Organization:

First, China's accession to the World Trade Organization is the need of China's economic development and reform and opening-up. Similarly, the World Trade Organization also needs China. Without the participation of China with a population of more than 1.2 billion, the World Trade Organization is incomplete and not conducive to the development of the world economy.

Second, China is a developing country with underdeveloped social productivity, so it can only join the World Trade Organization as a developing country.

Thirdly, China's rights and obligations must be balanced when it joins the World Trade Organization, and China will not accept exorbitant asking prices that are beyond China's capacity.

Following these guiding principles, China always took the initiative in the negotiation process of joining the World Trade Organization, and officially became a member of the World Trade Organization in December 2001. Jiang Zemin emphasized that to further attract foreign direct investment, improve the quality and level of foreign capital utilization, further expand the trade of goods and services, implement the strategy of market diversification, and insist on winning by quality, special economic zones should increase their innovative advantages and by going up one flight of stairs.

He pointed out that the implementation of the "going out" strategy is an important measure in the new stage of opening to the outside world, and "bringing in" and "going out" are two wheels of opening to the outside world, which must be turned at the same time. He stressed that China's development and progress can not be separated from the achievements of civilizations of all countries in the world. In the process of opening to the outside world, we must always pay attention to safeguarding national sovereignty and economic and social security, pay attention to preventing and defusing international risks, properly handle the relationship between opening wider to the outside world and adhering to self-reliance, and base ourselves on our own strength.

Regarding Socialism with Chinese characteristics's economic construction, Jiang Zemin pointed out that we are a developing country. To realize modernization and narrow the gap with developed countries, the key lies in taking a path of national economic development with both high speed and good benefits, realizing the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive, and maintaining the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the national economy.

He stressed that to correctly handle the relationship between speed and efficiency, we must update our development ideas and realize the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive; To improve the quality and efficiency of economic operation, the key is to solve the problem of irrational structure, and the economic structure must be strategically adjusted. Expanding domestic demand is the long-term and basic foothold of China's economic development.

He proposed that we should take a new road of industrialization, persist in promoting industrialization with informatization, and promote informatization with industrialization, and take a new road of industrialization with high scientific and technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, little environmental pollution, and giving full play to the advantages of human resources, and vigorously implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and the strategy of sustainable development.

He emphasized that agriculture, rural areas and farmers have always been a fundamental issue related to the overall situation of our party and country. Coordinating urban and rural economic and social development, building modern agriculture, developing rural economy and increasing farmers' income are the major tasks of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

Jiang Zemin's life was a great one and a glorious one. At the turn of the century, he made it clear to the whole party and people that we should lose no time in implementing the strategy of developing the western region. He pointed out that the fundamental purpose of economic development is to improve people's living standards and quality throughout the country. Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, and expanding employment is an important and arduous task for China at present and in the future.

Regarding the political construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, Jiang Zemin put forward that developing socialist democratic politics and building socialist political civilization are the important goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Building socialist political civilization is the inevitable requirement of China's reform and opening up and socialist modernization, and the inevitable conclusion of the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s long-term practice of leading the people to uphold and develop people's democracy, which further deepened the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s regular understanding of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause.

He stressed that to develop socialist democratic politics, the most fundamental thing is to organically unify adherence to the party's leadership, people being the masters of the country, and ruling the country according to law, uphold and improve the socialist democratic system, improve the democratic system, enrich democratic forms, expand citizens' orderly political participation, and ensure that people implement democratic elections, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic supervision according to law, enjoy extensive rights and freedoms, and respect and protect human rights. We must uphold and improve the people's congress system.

Adhere to and improve the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by communist party, consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic United front, fully implement the party's ethnic policy, uphold and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy, consolidate and develop socialist ethnic relations of equality, unity and mutual assistance, and promote the common prosperity and progress of all ethnic groups. It is necessary to fully implement the party's policy of freedom of religious belief, manage religious affairs according to law, actively guide religions to adapt to socialist society, adhere to the principle of independence and self-management, and resolutely resist the infiltration of foreign religions. We should conscientiously implement the party's overseas Chinese policy.

He emphasized that expanding grassroots democracy is the basic work for developing socialist democracy. He proposed that we should rule the country according to law, build a socialist country ruled by law, strengthen the building of socialist legal system, adhere to the principle that there are laws to follow, laws to be observed, law enforcement to be strict, and violators to be prosecuted, so that all the work of the state will gradually embark on the track of legalization.

He pointed out that the political system reform is the self-improvement and development of the socialist political system. We should persist in starting from China's national conditions, sum up our own practical experience, learn from the beneficial achievements of human political civilization, and never copy the western political system model. It is necessary to strengthen the system construction and realize the institutionalization, standardization and proceduralization of socialist democratic politics. He proposed that we should attach great importance to and conscientiously do a good job in maintaining social stability, and strive to maintain the social and political situation of stability and unity.

Regarding the cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, Jiang Zemin pointed out that the culture with Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an important force to unite and inspire the people of all ethnic groups in the country, and an important symbol of comprehensive national strength. In contemporary China, developing advanced culture means developing the culture with Socialism with Chinese characteristics, that is, building socialist spiritual civilization.

We must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory in the ideological field, use Theory of Three Represents to lead the socialist cultural construction, adhere to the direction of serving the people and socialism and the policy of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, carry forward the main melody melody and advocate diversification. We must persist in arming people with scientific theories, guiding them with correct public opinion, shaping them with noble spirit, inspiring them with excellent works, vigorously developing advanced culture, supporting healthy and beneficial culture, striving to transform cultural lag and resolutely resisting decadent culture.

He emphasized that the national spirit is the spiritual support for a nation's survival and development. Facing the mutual agitation of various thoughts and cultures around the world, it is necessary to take the promotion and cultivation of the national spirit as an extremely important task of cultural construction, and bring it into the whole process of national education and spiritual civilization construction, so that all people can always keep a high-spirited and uplifting mental state. We should persistently strengthen the building of socialist legal system and rule the country by law, and at the same time, we should persistently strengthen socialist moral construction and rule the country by virtue, and closely combine the building of legal system with moral construction, and the rule of law with the rule of virtue.

During his tenure as chairman of the Central Military Commission, Jiang Zemin put forward many important thoughts on national defense and people's army building, and founded Jiang Zemin's thoughts on national defense and army building. He pointed out that the establishment of a solid national defense is the strategic task of China's modernization, and an important guarantee for safeguarding national security and unity and building a well-off society in an all-round way. Guided by Mao Zedong's military thought and Deng Xiaoping's army building thought in the new period, we should firmly focus on the two historic issues of winning and not deteriorating, unswervingly take the road of being a good soldier with China characteristics, and strengthen the revolutionary modernization and regularization of the people's army in accordance with the general requirements of being politically qualified, militarily competent, having a fine style, strict discipline and strong support. We should always put ideological and political construction at the top of our army's construction, and always keep the nature, true colors and style of the people's army.

He emphasized that the party's absolute leadership over the people's army is the eternal soul of our army, and we should unswervingly adhere to the fundamental principle and system of the party leading the people's army. He proposed to meet the challenge of the new military revolution in the world and actively promote the military revolution with China characteristics. In the 1990s, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission established the military strategic policy of active defense in the new era, and made major adjustments in the strategic guidance, shifting the basic point of military struggle preparation from dealing with local wars under general conditions to winning local wars under modern technology, especially high-tech conditions. After that, they further put forward that the basic point of military struggle preparation should be winning local wars under information conditions, defined the objectives and tasks of our military struggle preparation under the new situation, grasped the main contradictions in our military construction, and correctly solved the construction and reform of our army.

He proposed that the military, armed police forces and political and legal organs should no longer engage in business activities. He stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the principle of coordinated development of national defense construction and economic construction, promote the modernization of national defense and army on the basis of economic development, and form one's own "killer weapon" of high-tech weapons and equipment as soon as possible.

Jiang Zemin's life was a great one and a life of fighting. He pointed out that it is the fundamental interest of the Chinese nation and the common aspiration of all China people, including compatriots in Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macao and overseas Chinese. He led a series of preparatory work for China government to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hongkong and Macau. Hong Kong was returned to China on July 1, 1997, and Macao was returned to China on December 20, 1999.

He went to Hong Kong and Macao to attend the handover ceremony of Hong Kong and Macao held by the Chinese and British governments and the Chinese and Portuguese governments. The return of Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland has enriched the theory and practice of "one country, two systems". After the return of Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland, he stressed that under all circumstances, the principle of "one country, two systems" must be fully and correctly implemented, and the basic laws of Hong Kong and Macao must be strictly followed. He fully supported the work of the chief executives and governments of Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, and extensively United people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Macao to jointly safeguard and promote the prosperity, stability and development of Hong Kong and Macao.

With the firm support of the central government, the governments of the two special administrative regions calmly responded to the impact and impact of the Asian financial crisis and the changes in the internal and external economic environment, United people from all walks of life, properly handled a series of social and economic issues, and maintained social stability and economic development. Jiang Zemin grasped the overall situation of solving the Taiwan Province issue, pushed both sides of the strait to reach the "1992 Consensus" embodying the one-China principle, and promoted cross-strait negotiations.

In January, 1995, he delivered an important speech entitled "Continue to Strive for the Accomplishment of the Great Cause of the Reunification of the Motherland", put forward eight proposals for developing cross-strait relations and promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland at the present stage, and emphasized that adhering to the one-China principle is the basis and prerequisite for realizing peaceful reunification. Our refusal to give up the use of force is not aimed at Taiwan Province compatriots, but at foreign forces' attempts to interfere in China's reunification and "Taiwan Province's independence". The speech not only reflects the firm determination to accomplish the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, but also fully takes into account the wishes of Taiwan Province compatriots and the actual situation in Taiwan Province, which has aroused great concern and positive response at home and abroad.

He put forward the general strategy of attacking military equipment with literature and led the major struggle against separatism and "Taiwan independence". He solemnly pointed out that the country needs to be unified and the nation needs to be revived, and the Taiwan Province issue cannot be delayed indefinitely. We firmly believe that through the joint efforts of all Chinese people, the complete reunification of the motherland will be realized at an early date. Faced with the ups and downs of the international situation, Jiang Zemin had a profound insight into the general trend of the world situation and put forward a series of diplomatic and international strategic thoughts, which enriched Socialism with Chinese characteristics's diplomatic theory and practice.

He pointed out that peace and development are still the theme of the present era. The tortuous development of world multipolarization and economic globalization has brought opportunities and favorable conditions to world peace and development. A new world war will not be fought in the foreseeable future, and it is possible to strive for a peaceful international environment and a good surrounding environment for a long time. However, the unfair and unreasonable old international political and economic order has not fundamentally changed, and the uncertainties affecting peace and development are increasing. The factors of traditional security threats and non-traditional security threats are intertwined, hegemonism and power politics have new manifestations, the gap between the North and the South has widened further, the world is still far from tranquil, and mankind is facing many severe challenges.

He emphasized that peace and development are still the themes of the present era, and no matter how the international situation changes, China will always pursue an independent foreign policy of peace. The purpose of China's foreign policy is to safeguard world peace and promote common development. He pointed out that China regards strengthening unity and cooperation with developing countries as the basic standpoint of its foreign policy, improves and develops its relations with developed countries, continues to strengthen its good-neighborly friendship, insists on being good neighbors and partners, strengthens regional cooperation, pushes its exchanges and cooperation with neighboring countries to a new level, strengthens its unity and cooperation with the third world, and strengthens mutual help and support.

He proposed that we should actively push the world towards multipolarization, promote the democratization of international relations, respect the diversity of the world, and strengthen exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. He stressed that China will continue to actively participate in multilateral diplomatic activities, play a role in the United Nations and other international and regional organizations, and support developing countries in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests. He proposed to establish a new security concept to meet the needs of the times, with mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation as its core. He promoted the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which was the first regional cooperation organization promoted by China and named after the city of China. The "Shanghai Spirit" advocated by it, featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations and seeking common development, has exerted an important influence on contemporary international relations.

Jiang Zemin attached great importance to the party's self-construction, and called on all comrades in the party to persist in starting from the new reality, study and solve the major theoretical and practical problems faced by the party's construction in the spirit of reform, so that the party would always maintain its advanced nature and purity, and be full of creativity, cohesion and fighting capacity. He pointed out that the party must be governed first, and the party must be strictly governed. He put forward two historic issues, namely, improving the leadership and governance level, enhancing the ability to resist corruption and change, and resisting risks, and asked the whole party to seriously study and solve them.

He stressed that in a large developing country with many nationalities like ours, in order to unite the will and strength of all people, build a well-off society in an all-round way, and accelerate socialist modernization, we must not relax, strengthen and improve the party's leadership, push forward the new great project of party building in an all-round way, and ensure that our party will always be the vanguard of the working class in China, the vanguard of the people of China and the Chinese nation, the leading core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, and always represent the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces and the direction of China's advanced culture.

He stressed that the ideological and theoretical construction of the party must be placed in a more prominent position. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the party's ruling ability and improve the party's leadership and ruling level. We must uphold and improve democratic centralism and strengthen the party's vitality, unity and unity. It is necessary to build a contingent of high-quality leading cadres and form a vigorous and promising leadership. Leading cadres should stress study, politics and integrity. We should do a good job in grass-roots party building, strengthen the party's class foundation and expand the party's mass base. It is necessary to strengthen and improve the party's work style and carry out the anti-corruption struggle in depth. He emphasized that the core of promoting the party's work style construction is to keep the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people. Our party's greatest political advantage is to keep close contact with the people, and the greatest danger after the party takes office is to be separated from the people.

Resolutely opposing and preventing corruption is an important political task of the whole party. We should adhere to the principle of treating both the symptoms and root causes, comprehensively manage them, step by step strengthen the root cause, strengthen education, develop democracy, improve the legal system, strengthen supervision, innovate the system, and incorporate anti-corruption into all important policies and measures to prevent and solve corruption problems from the source. He stressed that as long as the comrades of the whole party always keep the vigor, spirit and integrity of communist party people, and keep heart to heart with the people forever, our party's ruling foundation will be rock solid.

Jiang Zemin emphasized that the starting point and the end result of building all the work in Socialism with Chinese characteristics are to continuously realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. To formulate and implement the Party's principles and policies, the basic focus is to represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, correctly reflect and give consideration to the interests of different sectors of the people, and make all people advance steadily towards common prosperity.

He pointed out that we must always adhere to the party's mass line, do everything for the masses, rely on the masses, come from the masses, go to the masses, respect the creation of the masses, listen to the voices of the masses, reflect the wishes of the masses, concentrate the wisdom and strength of the masses to develop various undertakings, and strive to make workers, peasants, intellectuals and other masses share the fruits of economic and social development in the whole process of reform, opening up and socialist modernization.

He asked leading cadres at all levels to bear in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, to establish a strong sense of public servants, to cherish the hearts of the people, to abide by their responsibilities for the people, to make good plans for enriching the people, to do more things for the people, to always keep the safety and well-being of the people in mind, to care for their sufferings, and to do practical and good things for them.

As Jiang Zemin holds the leading position of the Party and the state, China is facing a severe test of the complicated situation at home and abroad and the serious twists and turns of world socialism. He united and led the party's central leadership, relied on the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups, calmly responded to a series of international emergencies related to China's sovereignty and security, and overcame the difficulties and risks in the political, economic and natural fields. In particular, he successfully responded to the impact of the Asian financial crisis, won the overall victory in the 1998 flood fighting and emergency rescue struggle, and ensured that the ship of reform, opening up and socialist modernization always made waves in the right direction.

In September 2004, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee decided to approve Jiang Zemin's resignation as Chairman CPC Central Military Commission. In March 2005, the second plenary session of the Third Session of the Tenth National People's Congress adopted a decision on accepting Jiang Zemin's request to resign as the chairman of People's Republic of China (PRC) the Central Military Commission (CMC). After retiring from the leadership post, Jiang Zemin firmly supported and supported the work of the CPC Central Committee, cared for the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and firmly supported the building of a clean and honest government and the anti-corruption struggle.

Jiang Zemin's life was a great one. He personally presided over the editing and the examination and approval of the first, second and third volumes of Selected Works of Jiang Zemin. Selected Works of Jiang Zemin mainly collected the representative and original works of Jiang Zemin from the end of 1980s to the beginning of 21st century, and provided important teaching materials for us to learn and understand Theory of Three Represents more deeply, to continue to promote the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the new great project of party building.

Jiang Zemin's life was a glorious one. Today, we are closer, more confident and capable of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any other time in history. On the new journey, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country should unite more closely, hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishment", strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", achieve the "two maintenance", be self-confident, self-reliant and innovative, work hard, forge ahead bravely and work as one.
