Liu Cheng and his party were able to arrive so quickly, which made Li Ran a little surprised.

After all, from the time the phone call is made to the time they come, it will only take about ten minutes at most, which can be said to be quite fast.

Beckoned a few people to take a seat, and then asked the waiter to come in and order.

In line with the principle of ladies first, Li Ran gave the menu to Han Lu and Tong Lei first, and asked them to order.

The two of them didn't pretend to excuse themselves, and they gave up the menu after ordering two vegetarian dishes each.

followed by Wu Zhen, who also ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.

In the end, the menu was transferred back to Li Ran's hands, and he ordered two meat dishes and one soup, and after making up eight dishes, he didn't order more.

After ordering the food, after the waiter went out, several people chatted with each other briefly.

Although it was the first time they met, Li Ran had a good impression of Liu Cheng's counselor Wu Zhen, Tong Lei and Han Lu.

First of all, Wu Zhen, he is not very old, and he looks like he is twenty-six or seventeen years old.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face, and very decent appearance. After graduating from graduate school, he stayed in school, spoke decently, and was very sincere.

Li Ran asked Liu Cheng to thank Wu Zhen seriously first.

The CPC is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, the core of leadership for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and represents the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of progress of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the Chinese people. The highest ideal and ultimate goal of the Party is the realization of communism.

The Communist Party of China takes Marxism-Leninism, Leninism, Thought, Theory, the important thinking of the "Three Represents" and the Scientific Outlook on Development as its guide to action.

Marxism-Leninism has revealed the law of the historical development of human society, and its basic principles are correct and have great vitality. The highest ideal of communism pursued by the Chinese communists can only be realized on the basis of a fully developed and highly developed socialist society. The development and perfection of the socialist system is a long-term historical process. By adhering to the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism and following the road voluntarily chosen by the Chinese people suited to China's national conditions, China's socialist cause will surely win the ultimate victory.

The Chinese Communists, with Comrade *** as the main representative, combined the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution and founded the Ideology of the Communist Party of China. Thought is the application and development of Marxism-Leninism in China, the correct theoretical principles and experience summary of China's revolution and construction that have been proven by practice, and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China. Under the guidance of the People's Republic of China, the Communist Party of China led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to win the victory of the new democratic revolution and establish the People's Republic of China under the people's democratic dictatorship after a protracted revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Zheng as the main representative, have summed up the positive and negative experiences since the founding of the People's Republic of China, emancipated the mind, sought truth from facts, realized the transfer of the whole party's work center to economic construction, implemented reform and opening up, opened up a new period for the development of the socialist cause, gradually formed the line, principles and policies for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, expounded the basic issues of building socialism in China, consolidating and developing socialism, and founded the first theory. Theory is the product of combining the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism with the practice of contemporary China and the characteristics of the times, the inheritance and development of the ideology under the new historical conditions, the new stage of the development of Marxism in China, the Marxism of contemporary China, and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China, which guides the continuous progress of China's socialist modernization.

Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th CPC Central Committee, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade *** as the main representative, have deepened their understanding of what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build the party in the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, accumulated new valuable experience in governing the party and the country, and formed the important thinking of the "three represents." The important thinking of the "three represents" is the inheritance and development of Marxism-Leninism, ideology, and theory, reflects the new requirements of the development and changes in the contemporary world and China for the work of the party and the state, is a powerful theoretical weapon for strengthening and improving party building and promoting the self-improvement and development of socialism in our country, is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China, and is the guiding ideology that the party must adhere to for a long time. Consistently achieving the "three represents" is the foundation of our party's building, the foundation of our ruling power, and the source of our strength.

Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Zheng as the main representative, have adhered to the guidance of the first theory and the important thinking of the "three represents", and in accordance with the new development requirements, profoundly understood and answered major questions such as what kind of development to achieve and how to develop under the new situation, and formed a scientific outlook on development that is people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable. The Scientific Outlook on Development is a scientific theory that is in the same vein as Marxism-Leninism, Leninism, Thought, Theory, and the important thinking of the "Three Represents" and keeps pace with the times, is the concentrated embodiment of the Marxist world outlook and methodology on development, is the latest achievement of the Sinicization of Marxism, is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China, and is the guiding ideology that must be adhered to and implemented in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The fundamental reason for all the achievements and progress we have made since the beginning of reform and opening up can be summed up as follows: we have opened up the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, formed a theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and established a socialist system with Chinese characteristics. All comrades in the party should doubly cherish, persist in, and continuously develop this road, this theoretical system, and this system that the party has pioneered through arduous efforts, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive for the realization of the three major historical tasks of promoting modernization, accomplishing the reunification of the motherland, and safeguarding world peace and promoting common development.

China is in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time. This is an insurmountable historical stage in the construction of socialist modernization in economically and culturally backward China, and it will take more than 100 years. In China's socialist construction, we must proceed from China's national conditions and follow the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. At the present stage, the main contradiction in our society is the contradiction between the people's ever-growing material and cultural needs and backward social production. Due to domestic factors and international influences, the class struggle has existed for a long time within a certain scope, and it may intensify under certain conditions, but it is no longer the main contradiction. The fundamental task of China's socialist construction is to further emancipate the productive forces, develop the productive forces, and gradually realize socialist modernization, and to this end reform the aspects and links in the relations of production and the superstructure that are not suited to the development of the productive forces. It is necessary to uphold and improve the basic economic system with public ownership as the mainstay and the common development of economies under various forms of ownership, uphold and improve the distribution system in which distribution according to work is the mainstay and various forms of distribution coexist, encourage some areas and some people to get rich first, gradually eliminate poverty, achieve common prosperity, and constantly meet the people's growing material and cultural needs on the basis of production development and the growth of social wealth, so as to promote the all-round development of the people. Development is our party's most important task in governing and rejuvenating the country. In all work, we must regard the development of the productive forces of the socialist society, the enhancement of the comprehensive national strength of the socialist country, and the improvement of the people's living standards as the general starting point and the criterion for testing, respect labor, knowledge, talent, and creation, and ensure that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people. As we enter the new century, China has entered a new development stage of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and speeding up socialist modernization. We must comprehensively promote economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization construction in accordance with the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the new century and the new stage, the strategic goal of economic and social development is to consolidate and develop the level of moderate prosperity that has been initially attained, and to build a better-off society of a higher standard benefiting more than 1 billion people by the 100 th anniversary of the founding of the party; and to reach the level of a moderately developed country in per capita GDP by the 100 anniversary of the founding of the country, and to basically achieve modernization.

The Communist Party of China is in the initial stage of socialism
