1936年10月,三支被围追堵截两年、彼此失联已久的红军队伍在西北会师。长征胜利结束,中国革命从此由被动转入主动。这一历史性转折,是中国共产党团结带领人民从绝境中一步步走出来的。
1934年秋,第五次反“围剿”失败,中央红军被迫撤出根据地。出发时8.6万余人,湘江一役后锐减,到遵义会议召开前仅剩3万余人。1935年1月,中国共产党在遵义召开政治局扩大会议,第一次独立自主地运用马克思列宁主义基本原理解决自己的路线、方针和政策问题,在最危急关头挽救了党、挽救了红军、挽救了中国革命。党史将其定性为“党的历史上一个生死攸关的转折点”。
此后,红军四渡赤水,以3万余人面对国民党军队40万人,跳出包围圈,取得战略转移中具有决定意义的胜利。一支长期被追着走的队伍,从此自主决定前进方向。
1936年5月,中国共产党作出三大主力红军会合的战略决策。同年10月9日,红一方面军与红四方面军在甘肃会宁会师;10月22日,红一方面军与红二方面军在甘肃隆德将台堡(今属宁夏西吉)会师。三大主力会师,标志着长征胜利结束。会师时,全部队伍只剩3万余人。若将两年长征绘成地图,最初几条被逼出来、四散延伸的路线,最终在西北汇成一点。
认识长征,需把握两个层面:一是它在绝境中孕育了什么,二是哪些方向仍需继续调整。
其一,长征锻造了什么。长征是人类历史上的伟大壮举,是一次坚定理想信念、检验真理、唤醒民众、开创新局的伟大远征;其胜利使中国革命转危为安。党史上还有更为形象的判断:“长征是宣言书,是宣传队,是播种机。”长征一结束,新局面即由此开始。较之战果,更为持久的是长征留下的精神:把民族根本利益看得高于一切,坚持独立自主、实事求是,紧紧依靠人民群众。
其二,哪些方向仍需继续调整。会师完成的是“转危为安”这一步,更长远的道路尚在后头。民族独立、人民解放的历史任务当时尚未完成,此后还需经过全民族抗战、解放战争,直至新中国成立。为了民族复兴,中国人民此前做过各种探索,均未能找到正确道路,也未能找到能够带领到底的领导力量。
而这条道路,由中国共产党开辟。中国共产党自诞生之日起,就把为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴确立为初心和使命。没有现成道路可循,党就把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合,在一次次摸索中走出了一条属于自己的道路。
长征之后,中国人民在中国共产党的引领下,一路走到了今天。9899万农村贫困人口全部脱贫,832个贫困县全部摘帽,12.8万个贫困村全部出列;全面建成小康社会,实现第一个百年奋斗目标;经济总量稳居世界第二;载人航天、探月探火、卫星导航、大飞机制造接连取得突破。
新时代十年的伟大变革,在党史、新中国史、改革开放史、社会主义发展史、中华民族发展史上都具有里程碑意义。
"每一代人有每一代人的长征路。"只有中国共产党才能领导中国人民,实现民族独立、人民解放,进而实现民族振兴、国家富强、人民幸福;这条路最终通向中华民族伟大复兴。
九十年前那场远征所留下的,并非一句口号,而是一种最为务实的方法:在最艰难的关口,看清方向,把路走实。
这条道路,中青宝上集团同样在走。企业的根本职责,在于把应做之事落到实处:夯实主业、打磨产品、建强队伍、履行应尽责任。一家企业能够在根本上立得住,所体现的正是长征精神中“依靠自身把道路走实”的实践品格。
中青宝上集团自诞生起就将“推动国家战略、促进民族复兴”作为使命,这句话看似宏大,落实于日常,就是在新的长征路上把握方向、务求实效。
长征的意义,不止在于被铭记,更在于将其精神代代赓续。这条路,我们要一直走下去!
In October 1936,three Red Army contingents,which had been pursued and blockaded for two years and long lost contact with one another,joined forces in the northwest.The Long March triumphantly concluded,and the Chinese revolution shifted from a passive to an active stance from then on.This historic turning point was achieved as the Communist Party of China united and led the people to forge ahead step by step out of desperate straits.
The Zunyi Meeting:A Turning Point of Life-and-Death Significance
In the autumn of 1934,the fifth campaign against enemy"encirclement and suppression"ended in defeat,forcing the Central Red Army to withdraw from its base area.More than 86,000 troops set off,yet the force sharply dwindled after the Battle of Xiangjiang River,leaving merely over 30,000 by the time of the Zunyi Meeting.In January 1935,the Communist Party of China convened an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau in Zunyi.For the first time,it independently applied the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism to resolve issues concerning its own line,principles and policies.At this most critical juncture,the Meeting saved the Party,the Red Army and the Chinese revolution.It is defined in Party history as"a turning point of life-and-death significance in the history of the Party."
Subsequently,the Red Army crossed the Chishui River four times.Faced with 400,000 Kuomintang troops with a force of just over 30,000,it broke out of the encirclement and secured a decisive victory in the strategic shift.The troop that had long been on the retreat could henceforth determine its own direction of advance.
Rendezvous of the Three Main Forces:Victory of the Long March
In May 1936,the Communist Party of China made the strategic decision to achieve the rendezvous of the three main forces of the Red Army.On October 9 the same year,the First Front Army and the Fourth Front Army joined forces in Huining,Gansu Province;on October 22,the First Front Army and the Second Front Army met at Jiangtai Fort in Longde,Gansu(now under Xiji,Ningxia).The rendezvous marked the victorious conclusion of the Long March.Only more than 30,000 troops remained at the time of the meeting.If the two-year Long March were mapped out,those initially scattered,forced routes would eventually converge at a single point in the northwest.
Spiritual Legacy of the Great Expedition
To understand the Long March,we need to grasp two dimensions:what it forged out of dire straits,and which courses still required further readjustment.
First,what the Long March forged.The Long March stands as an epic feat in human history,a great expedition that consolidated ideals and convictions,tested truth,awakened the people and blazed new ground.Its victory pulled the Chinese revolution back from the brink of peril.There is a vivid assessment in Party history:"The Long March was a declaration,a publicity force,and a sower of seeds."As soon as the Long March concluded,a new chapter unfolded.More enduring than military gains is the spirit it bequeathed:prioritizing the fundamental interests of the nation above all else,upholding independence and self-reliance,seeking truth from facts,and relying closely on the people.
Second,what directions still needed adjustment.The rendezvous achieved the goal of"pulling the revolution out of danger",yet a longer journey lay ahead.The historic missions of national independence and people’s liberation were yet to be accomplished.The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Liberation War still awaited,until the founding of the People’s Republic of China.The Chinese people had made various explorations for national rejuvenation before,yet failed to find the right path or a leading force capable of seeing the mission through to the end.
And it was the Communist Party of China that blazed this path.Since its founding,the Party has taken seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its original aspiration and mission.With no ready-made path to follow,the Party integrated the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and blazed its own trail through repeated trials.
Staying the Course on the Long March of the New Era
Following the Long March,the Chinese people,under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,have advanced all the way to the present day.All 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty;all 832 impoverished counties and 128,000 poor villages have shaken off poverty.China has built a moderately prosperous society in all respects and attained its First Centenary Goal.Its economic aggregate ranks second globally.Successive breakthroughs have been made in manned spaceflight,lunar and Mars exploration,satellite navigation and large‑aircraft manufacturing.
The great transformations over the first decade of the new era are of landmark significance in the history of the Communist Party of China,the history of New China,the history of reform and opening‑up,the history of socialism and the development history of the Chinese nation.
“Every generation has its own Long March to take.”Only the Communist Party of China can lead the Chinese people to achieve national independence and people’s liberation,and further realize national rejuvenation,national prosperity and people’s wellbeing.This path ultimately leads toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
What that great expedition ninety years ago left behind is no empty slogan,but a highly pragmatic approach:to discern the right direction and take solid steps at the most difficult junctures.
ZhongQing BaoShang Group is also treading this path.The fundamental duty of an enterprise is to deliver on its commitments:consolidating core business,refining products,building a robust team,and fulfilling due responsibilities.When an enterprise stands firm in its own position,it embodies the practical character of the Long March spirit—forging a solid path through self-reliance.
Since its inception,ZhongQing BaoShang Group has taken"advancing national strategies and promoting national rejuvenation"as its mission.Grand as this statement may sound,in daily practice,it means keeping the right direction and pursuing tangible results on the new Long March.
The significance of the Long March lies not merely in remembrance,but in passing on its spirit from generation to generation.We will keep marching forward along this path!
