Xi urges efforts for new achievements

Party's history of struggle, glorious traditions, fine work styles called sources of driving force

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has called for using the Party's history of struggle, its great achievements, glorious tradition and fine work style as the sources of the spiritual driving force for all Party members to make new achievements in the new era.

Xi made the remark on Friday as he presided over a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, ahead of the July 1 centenary of the CPC's founding.

As part of the study session, Xi led the Political Bureau members on a visit to the "Red Building" in Beijing, once the main campus of Peking University, where an exhibition was held in commemoration of the history of how the CPC was founded. It was in the four-story red brick building that China's advanced youth, including Mao Zedong, developed the Marxist ideas that paved the way for the establishment of the CPC.
