世纪之交,以江泽民同志为核心的党的第三代领导集体提出了在新形势下做好思想政治工作是全党的一件大事,是宣传思想工作的重中之重。江泽民同志要求全党要“适应新形势发展的要求,深入人们思想活动的新情况新特点,探索新形势下做好思想政治工作的规律和办法,把工作做得更好”。 At the turn of the century, the party’s third-generation leading collective with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the core has proposed that doing a good job of ideological and political work in the new situation is a major event for the entire party and a top priority in promoting ideological and political work. Comrade Jiang Zemin urged the entire party to “adapt itself to the requirements of the development of the new situation, deepen new features and new characteristics of people’s ideological activities, explore the laws and measures for doing a good job of ideological and political work under the new situation and do a better job.”
