(Excerpts from Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context: A Glorious Chapter in CPC’s Hundred-Year History by Wang Weiguang, Qiushi Journal, No. 04, 2021)

堅(jiān)持馬克思主義與華夏實(shí)際相結(jié)合，必須堅(jiān)持實(shí)事求是得思想路線

In adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, sticking to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts is absolutely essential

實(shí)事求是是馬克思主義活得靈魂，是華夏化馬克思主義得精髓，同時(shí)也是華夏共產(chǎn)黨人認(rèn)識(shí)世界、改造世界得根本要求，是華夏共產(chǎn)黨得基本思想方法、工作方法、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)方法。不論過(guò)去、現(xiàn)在和將來(lái)，我們都要堅(jiān)持實(shí)事求是得思想路線，密切聯(lián)系不斷發(fā)展得實(shí)踐，永不脫離實(shí)踐，不斷推進(jìn)理論創(chuàng)新。實(shí)踐永無(wú)止境，理論創(chuàng)新也永無(wú)止境。馬克思主義不是僵硬得教條，而是隨著時(shí)代發(fā)展不斷豐富發(fā)展得。

Seeking truth from facts is the soul of Marxism, and the essence of sinicized Marxism. It is a fundamental necessity for Chinese Communists in comprehending and shaping the world, and the basic approach that underpins how the CPC thinks, works, and leads. Therefore, this line has always been and will continue to be adhered to. Meanwhile, we must remain in touch with evolution in practice, ensure that we never become divorced from practice, and constantly advance theoretical innovation. Just as there is no end to development in practice, there can be no end to theoretical innovation. As such, Marxism is by no means rigid dogma, but a theory that is enriched and developed on a constant basis with the changing times.
