Chinese-style modernization is the path to building a strong nation and achieving national rejuvenation; it opens up a new path for humanity to move towards modernization and creates a new form of human civilization. For our Party, this is both a glorious historical mission and a severe practical test, urgently requiring the use of theory to promote Party unity and the development of our cause.

A strong theoretical foundation ensures clear direction, unity of hearts, and confidence. We must consolidate and expand the achievements of the thematic education, persistently using the new era's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics to unite hearts and souls, truly mastering the core skills of Marxism, ensuring political and action unity through ideological unity, and comprehensively improving political, leadership, and work capabilities that are in line with the advancement of Chinese-style modernization. We must be adept at drawing spiritual motivation for vigorous efforts and courageous progress from the Party's innovative theories, strengthening historical confidence, honing our ability to struggle, and always striving forward on the new journey and making achievements in the new era with a determined and proactive attitude that overcomes difficulties.

Theory cannot be discussed idly; principles cannot be empty talk. The purpose of studying the Party's innovative theories lies entirely in their application. Cadres at all levels must carry forward the Marxist approach of linking theory with practice, consciously mastering and effectively utilizing the Party's innovative theories as a powerful ideological weapon, focusing closely on the central task of comprehensively promoting national development and national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization, continuously resolving issues that restrict high-quality development, issues of urgent concern to the masses, and prominent issues in Party building, effectively preventing and resolving major risks, creatively carrying out work, and continuously transforming the grand blueprint depicted by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China into a beautiful reality.

Since the new era, the Party's theoretical and practical innovations have been very vivid, and our learning should also be vivid. This batch of teaching materials comprehensively reflects the innovative achievements of the new era and showcases the vivid practices of our Party in promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization. Cadres at all levels must learn and utilize these materials well, serving as firm activists and pragmatists in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
