In his speech, Xin Xiangyang pointed out that this forum, held at Fudan University on the occasion of the centenary of the Party’s founding, is both timely and well-placed. The forum, themed on studying General Secretary Xi Jinping’s speech at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, is of great significance for deeply understanding the great achievements created by our Party leading the Chinese people over the past century, continuously strengthening the “Four Confidences” [2]2 The New Era (新时代) refers to the period of socialism with Chinese characteristics beginning with the 19th National Congress of the CPC in 2017, under the leadership of Xi Jinping., and earnestly comprehending the innovative achievements of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context. He noted that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech comprehensively reviews our Party’s century-long struggle, systematically summarizes the Party’s key experiences in leading China’s revolution, construction, and reform, sounds the clarion call to embark on a new journey toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and is a programmatic document shining with the truth of Marxism. The General Secretary’s speech raises many important viewpoints and conclusions, setting new tasks and requirements for advancing the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context, which require in-depth research and interpretation by the academic community, especially Marxist theory researchers. He expressed hope that the participating experts and scholars would strengthen cooperation and promote exchanges through this forum, jointly advancing Marxist research to a new stage.

辛向阳在致辞中指出，本次论坛恰逢建党一百周年之际在复旦大学举办，正当其时也正当其地。论坛以学习习近平总书记在庆祝中国共产党100周年大会上的讲话为主题，对于深刻领会一百年来我们党带领中国人民创造的伟大成就，不断坚定“四个自信”，切实感悟中国化马克思主义理论创新成果具有重要意义。他指出，习近平总书记的重要讲话全面回顾了我们党的百年奋斗历程，系统总结了党领导中国革命、建设、改革的重要经验，吹响了开启实现中华民族伟大复兴新征程的号角，是一篇闪耀着马克思主义真理光辉的纲领性文献。总书记在讲话中提出了许多重要观点和重要论断，对推进马克思主义中国化提出了新的任务要求，需要学术界特别是马克思主义理论研究工作者进行深入研究阐释。希望与会的专家学者通过此次论坛加强合作、促进交流，共同把马克思主义研究推向一个新阶段。

In his keynote report titled “What Has Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Changed in China,” Xin Xiangyang pointed out that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the Marxism of contemporary China and the Marxism of the 21st century. This thought has profoundly changed the situation where Marxism was marginalized in some fields over a period, promoting the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times and its popularization; it has profoundly changed the situation where socialism with Chinese characteristics was once questioned, driving the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics to become ever broader; it has profoundly changed the characteristics of China’s past extensive economic development, steering China’s economy toward a new path of high-quality development; it has profoundly changed the spiritual outlook of the Chinese people, enabling the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to face the world with a more elevated posture; it has profoundly changed the face of world political development, prompting the Chinese people to make new and significant contributions to human political civilization.

辛向阳在题为《习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想改变了中国什么》的主旨报告中指出，习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是当代中国马克思主义、21世纪马克思主义，这一思想深刻改变了一段时期以来马克思主义在一些领域被边缘化的状况，推动马克思主义中国化、时代化、大众化；深刻改变了中国特色社会主义一度受到质疑的局面，推动中国特色社会主义道路越走越宽广；深刻改变了过去中国经济粗放式发展的特征，推动中国经济迈向高质量发展新路子；深刻改变了中国人的精神面貌，推动中国人民和中华民族以更加昂扬的姿态平视这个世界；深刻改变了世界政治发展的面貌，推动中国人民为人类政治文明作出新的重大贡献。

In his keynote report titled “Marx’s Conception of World History,” Wu Hongzheng, Dean of the School of Marxism at Jilin University, pointed out that observing and thinking about China’s development requires a global perspective. Marx’s conception of world history can provide reference from the following three aspects: first, humanity, as the subject of world history, bears responsibility for the development trend of world history, meaning not only to interpret the world but also to change it; second, the development trend of world history ultimately points to the realization of the freedom and liberation of all humanity; third, the development of world history follows certain laws, which are embodied in the inevitable victory of communism.

吉林大学马克思主义学院院长吴宏政在题为《马克思的世界历史观》的主旨报告中指出，观察和思考中国发展，需要世界性的视野，马克思的世界历史观可以从以下三个方面提供借鉴：一是人类作为世界历史的主体，对世界历史的发展趋势负有责任，即不仅要解释世界更要改变世界；二是世界历史的发展趋势最终指向实现全人类的自由和解放；三是世界历史的发展是有规律可循的，这一规律体现为共产主义必然胜利。

Zhang Shihai, Dean of the School of Marxism at Shandong University, delivered a keynote report titled “The Centennial Historical Experience of the Communist Party of China’s Cultural Leadership Construction.” He pointed out that to understand “why Marxism works,” one must uphold confidence in the theory and unwaveringly maintain Marxism’s guiding position. This is not only a historical conclusion but also a practical necessity. Upholding cultural leadership requires adhering to four methodological principles: combining a Chinese stance with a global perspective, combining practical needs with historical reflection, combining theoretical construction with theoretical development, and combining the exploration of essence with holistic grasp.

山东大学马克思主义学院院长张士海的主旨报告以《中国共产党文化领导权建设的百年历史经验》为题。他指出，理解“马克思主义为什么行”，就要坚持理论自信、坚持马克思主义指导地位不动摇。这不仅是一个历史结论，也是现实需要。坚持文化领导权，要坚持中国立场和世界眼光相结合、现实需要和历史反思相结合、理论建设与理论发展相结合、探索实质和整体把握相结合等四个方面的方法论原则。

Yang Renzhong, Dean of the School of Marxism at Tianjin Normal University, presented his reflections on "Advancing the Adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese Context through Innovation and Pioneering" under the title "Advancing the Sinicization of Marxism through Innovation and Pioneering." He pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping, in his speech, first proposed the important thesis of the "Two Integrations"[1]1 The Two Integrations (两个结合) refers to the principle of integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and with the best of traditional Chinese culture, first formally proposed by Xi Jinping in a 2021 speech.—integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and with the best of traditional Chinese culture—which is of great significance for advancing the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context. To achieve the "Two Integrations" in the New Era[2]2 The New Era (新时代) refers to the period of socialism with Chinese characteristics beginning with the 19th National Congress of the CPC in 2017, under the leadership of Xi Jinping., it is necessary to further highlight the theoretical connotations and original achievements of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, to base research on China's actual conditions and study its great significance for developing countries and all of humanity, and to promote systematic, holistic, and comprehensive research.

天津师范大学马克思主义学院院长杨仁忠以《在开拓创新中推进马克思主义中国化》为题介绍了关于在新的历史方位下不断开创马克思主义中国化新境界的思考。他指出，习近平总书记在讲话中首次提出要把马克思主义基本理论同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合的“两个结合”的重要论断，对于推进马克思主义中国化意义重大。在新时代做到“两个结合”，必须进一步彰显习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的理论内涵和原创成果，必须立足中国实际，研究其对发展中国家和全人类发展的伟大意义，必须推进系统性、整体性、全面性研究。

In her report “Further Understanding the Original Aspiration and Founding Mission from Three Dimensions,” Fu Huifang, Executive Dean of the School of Marxism at Fujian Normal University, pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech is a political declaration upholding the original aspiration and founding mission and a programmatic document of Marxism. Over the past century, regardless of changes in circumstances and environment, the original aspiration and founding mission of the Communist Party of China have remained unchanged. This “unchangedness” can be considered from three aspects: first, by grasping the original aspiration and founding mission of the CPC within the historical coordinates of a century of struggle, we can recognize that while the Party’s historical tasks at each stage have constantly changed, the original aspiration and founding mission have always remained unchanged; second, in the face of unprecedented opportunities and challenges arising from the temporal-spatial transformation of the “two overall situations” [3]3 The “two overall situations” (两个大局) refers to the overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the overall situation of changes unseen in a century in the world., our Party’s original aspiration and founding mission have always remained unchanged; third, in the course of the CPC’s promotion of self-revolution, our Party’s original aspiration and founding mission have always remained unchanged.

福建师范大学马克思主义学院执行院长傅慧芳在《从三个维度进一步理解不忘初心、牢记使命》报告中指出，习近平总书记的重要讲话是一篇不忘初心、牢记使命的政治宣言，是一篇马克思主义的纲领性文献。一百年来，不管形势和环境如何变化，中国共产党的初心和使命始终保持不变。这个“不变”可以从三个方面进行思考：一是在百年奋斗历史坐标中领会中国共产党的初心和使命，可以认识到我们党在每个阶段性的历史任务不断发生变化，但初心使命始终不变；二是面对“两个大局”这一时空变革中前所未有的机遇和挑战，我们党的初心使命始终不变；三是在中国共产党推进自我革命的过程中，我们党的初心使命始终不变。

In her report “The Five Characteristics of Chinese-Path Modernization,” Li Suxia, Executive Dean of the School of Marxism at Hebei Normal University, explained the “five characteristics of Chinese-path modernization” from three aspects: first, Chinese-path modernization has its historical logic, theoretical logic, and practical logic, profoundly embodying the CPC’s experience and achievements in exploring the path of modernization over a century, profoundly embodying the close integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China’s concrete realities, and profoundly embodying the institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics; second, Chinese-path modernization has five characteristics: a huge population size, common prosperity for all the people, coordination between material civilization and cultural-ethical progress, harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, and taking the path of peaceful development; third, the experience of Chinese-path modernization is of great significance for transcending existing modernization theories and models.
