In Beijing, a commemorative gathering was held on August 17th to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin. The ceremony at the Great Hall of the People was jointly organized by the highest Chinese party and state institutions, including the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission.
The main speech was delivered by Chinese President and General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping. In his address, he recalled Jiang Zemin's contributions and called for continuing the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Xi Jinping described Jiang Zemin's life as a period of intense political work and service to the country. He emphasized his contribution to economic reforms, China's opening up to the world, modernization of the country, and further development of the Chinese political system.
According to Xi Jinping, Jiang Zemin made a significant contribution to ensuring that China continued its reforms and opening up, improved the living standards of the people, and entered the 21st century with a strengthened economic and international position.
In his speech, Xi Jinping also recalled Jiang Zemin's long political career and his work after the fourth plenary session of the 13th Central Committee of the CPC. He particularly highlighted his ability to respond to changes in the times, promote reforms, and seek new paths for development.
Special attention was paid to Jiang Zemin's relationship with the people. According to Xi Jinping, the former Chinese leader emphasized the fundamental interests of the people and their living conditions when making decisions. He believes that the current leadership of the country should continue a development policy focused on the needs of the people.
Xi Jinping also praised Jiang Zemin's emphasis on innovation and adapting political and economic concepts to changing circumstances. He recalled his efforts to combine the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and domestic cultural traditions.
In conclusion, Xi Jinping emphasized that after decades of economic and social development, China has entered a new stage of modernization. He called on members of the Communist Party of China, the armed forces, and the people of the country to continue their efforts to strengthen the state, improve living standards, and fulfill the goal of national rejuvenation.
The commemorative gathering was therefore not only a reminder of Jiang Zemin's political legacy but also an opportunity to emphasize the continuity of China's current direction and its long-term goals of modernization.
