Through this field research, the understanding of Comrade Mao Zedong’s youth development and the process of the evolution of Mao Zedong Thought was further deepened. The great truth power of Mao Zedong Thought was personally felt. It was further deeply recognized that Mao Zedong Thought, as the first historic leap in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, played an important guiding role in seizing victory in the New Democratic Revolution, completing the socialist revolution, and advancing socialist construction. It was further deeply recognized the extreme importance of tapping into red resources for Party theoretical education and Party spirit education. The ideals, convictions, and original aspiration and founding mission were further strengthened. This also laid a good foundation for further deepening research on Mao Zedong Thought in the future, strengthening discipline construction, and especially deepening research on the history of the development of Mao Zedong Thought.
