我们党已经走过近80年的光辉历程,新中国也已度过她的50华诞,人类则将进入新的世纪。在过去的半个多世纪里,党领导广大人民群众进行了艰苦卓绝的奋斗,使中国的面貌发生了翻天覆地的变化;在即将到来的新世纪,中国人民将面临新的严峻的考验和挑战。按照革命化、年轻化、知识化、专业化方针,建设一支适应社会主义现代化建设需要的高素质干部队伍,是我们迎接新世纪挑战的最重要条件。江泽民 Our party has gone through a brilliant journey of nearly 80 years. New China has also spent her 50th birthday and mankind will enter a new century. Over the past half century or more, the party has led the broad masses of people in an arduous struggle so that the face of China has undergone tremendous changes. In the coming new century, the Chinese people will face new and harsh tests and challenges. According to the guideline of revolutionization, rejuvenation, knowledge and specialization, building a contingent of highly qualified cadres who meet the needs of socialist modernization is the most important condition for us to meet the challenges of the new century.
