Xi Jinping’s speech at a ceremony marking the centenary of the CPC put forward many new ideas and perspectives, and the five new theses which embody characteristic connotations are particularly unique. As important enrichment and advancement of Xi Jin-ping socialist thought with Chinese characteristics for a new era, the “theme” of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the speech enriches and enhances the connotation of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The theory of “four great achievements” clearly defines the Party’s history into four historical stages for the first time, which is the inevitable conclusion of the great achievements made by the Party in its 100 years of development. The “great spirit of party building” is a profound summary of the Party’s century-long glorious history at the ideological level.The theory of “two combinations” is a major development of the source of Chinese Marxist theory and the theory of Chinese Marxism. The “four unstoppable pursuits” inspires the Party to remember its original aspiration and mission and to continue to strive for the realization of the Party’s highest ideal and ultimate goal. The five new theses make the Party’s centennial a rich spiritual feast and make Xi’s speech at the ceremony a milestone in the Party’s centennial history.
