Summary

Machine summary

A PLA political education piece in official military media marks the 97th anniversary of the 1929 Gutian Conference, rehearsing the four doctrinal 'firsts' the conference established by resolution: Party absolute leadership over the military, the army's nature and purpose, the three principles of political work, and the primacy of ideological and political work over military affairs. The article foregrounds the formulation 思想建党、政治建军 ('building the Party through ideology and the army through politics') as the living inheritance from Gutian, a framing the PLA has used consistently since Xi Jinping convened a second Gutian Conference in 2014 to reassert Party control after the Bo Xilai–era corruption scandals. This is standard anniversary political education content; its value is as a record of how the institution continues to anchor contemporary Party-army relations doctrine in the 1929 precedent, not as evidence of a new policy line.

历史总是在回答时代课题中前进的。 97年前,闽西群山环抱的一个小村庄里,迎来了一支饥肠辘辘的队伍。 “我们要往哪里去”?“红旗究竟还能打多久”? 迷茫和困惑,使他们不得不停下疲惫而匆忙的脚步,回答一个在脑海中思索了很久的问题:如何将这支以农民为主要成分的军队建设成为无产阶级领导的新型人民军队,让他区别于任何一支旧军队? 青砖灰瓦的廖氏宗祠里,彪炳史册的古田会议在此召开。篝火映红了每个人的脸庞,在红军何去何从的历史关头,这一簇簇御寒的炭火,像一道闪电,划破思想的夜空;如一支火炬,照亮革命前进的征程。 一个伟大事件对历史的影响,将随着时间的推移而不断显现。古田会议之后,《决议》的建军思想成为指引整个红军的航标,不但在红四军中实行了,后来全国各部分红军也先后不等地照此做了,这样就使整个中国红军完全成为真正的人民军队。 “今日向何方,直指武夷山下。山下山下,风展红旗如画。”在古田会议的光芒照耀下,我们这支以农民为主体的军队,从小到大,从弱到强,由星星之火成燎原之势,在中国历史的天空划出与以往任何一支农民起义军迥然不同的轨迹。 站在历史的桅杆上眺望,古田会议迸发的历史主动和历史自觉依然激荡心怀,引人深思:面对中国的特殊国情,建设什么样的军队、如何建设军队,在马克思主义经典著作中找不到答案,在国际共产主义运动中也没有先例。 面对这个历史性课题,红四军在古田会议之前不到一年半的时间里,先后8次召开党代表大会,都未能形成共识、找到答案。红军指挥员越来越深刻地感到,这些问题不解决,思想不统一,就不可能肃清旧式军队的残余,不可能实现壮大红军的目标,不可能建立新型人民军队,“中国伟大革命斗争给予红军第四军的任务,是必然担负不起来的”。 “事危则志远,情迫则思深”。在深切的忧患和历史的担当面前,以毛泽东同志为代表的中国共产党人,站在时代的制高点,以世界的眼光环顾天下,以坚定的信念追求真理,以宽广的胸怀修正错误,勇敢地迈出了马克思主义基本原理与中国革命具体实践相结合的铿锵脚步。 古田会议第一次以决议的形式确立了党对军队绝对领导的根本原则,使听党的话、跟党走成为官兵的崇高追求和必胜信念。 古田会议第一次以决议的形式规定了我军的性质、宗旨和任务,解决了红军“为谁当兵、为谁扛枪、为谁打仗”的基本问题。 古田会议第一次以决议的形式提出了我军官兵一致、军民一致、瓦解敌军的政治工作三大原则,为建立良好的内外关系提供了基本遵循。 古田会议第一次以决议的形式阐明了军事与政治的关系,军事机关与政治机关的关系,奠定了我军思想政治工作的重要地位…… 这些奠基未来的“第一次”,在今天看来不过是一种常识,但在当时却是艰辛求索的真理之光。中国共产党人对红军思想政治建设时代课题的回答,就蕴含在这一个个“第一次”中,体现在这一条条方针原则中。两万多字的古田会议决议,是实事求是的产物,是思想交锋的结果,是经验教训的总结,是开拓创新的典范。 远山含黛,历经风雨更显厚重;古树参天,扎根大地方能挺拔。回望峥嵘岁月,古田会议对红军思想政治建设时代课题的正确回答,犹如一束真理之光,照亮人民军队苦难辉煌的壮丽征程,会议确立的“思想建党、政治建军”重要原则,让新型人民军队从古田出发,翻越千山万水、历经千辛万苦,从胜利走向胜利,在强军兴军的伟大征途上续写更加光辉灿烂的时代篇章!
