He and Comrade Mao Zedong summed up the enemy into the retreat, I stationed in the enemy, the enemy tired I fight"I chase the enemy retreats, sixteen words, is summed up from the practice of the revolutionary war Chinese basic principles of guerrilla tactics. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, in the early 60s of last century, he made it clear that: "to see that no country in the world has really built socialism, we have to find a way to build socialism in china." In order to explore the road, he often went deep into the actual and basic research.

Today, we should continue to push forward the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, or rely on facts. All comrades in the party must adhere to emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts and keeping pace with the times. What is good for the cause of the party and the people, resolutely dry, dry gas, a moment of non-stop work; that is not conducive to the cause of the party and the people, resolutely, thoroughly, do not delay a moment to change, and constantly create a new situation in the cause of development, and constantly create a new realm of the development of the Marx doctrine.

Comrade Zhu De wrote poems praising the leadership of our party in Jiefang District saw public servants but not official, he is the servant of the people of the model. The national anti Japanese war broke out, in his letter to relatives said: "although I am old 52 years old, the body is still healthy, for the country for national survival, determined to abandon everything, one enemy." "Those people will not look and come to my office, if you want to sacrifice all patriotic people more than it can eat hard." Home of Sichuan's more than and 80 year old mother, life is very poor, he had to write his old classmates for help, he said in the letter: "I have decades of money coming as well. My friends, to raise you two hundred yuan." The commander of the Eight Route Army exploits so poor and honest, respect people! After the founding of new Chinese, comrade Zhu De put the people's safety and well-being in mind, life, industrious and frugal honest, keep simple color.

"Days as the self FTV days to listen to the people themselves to listen to." Today, all Party members, regardless of their positions, should uphold the people's support, disapproval, joy, displeasure, and consent as the basis for measuring the gains and losses of all jobs. Our work and decision-making must know the people, down to earth, in the interests of the people, people look forward to sincere read, listen to the voice of the masses, truly reflect the aspirations of the masses, the truth about the sufferings of the masses. To keep working center of gravity, the actual depth, the grassroots and the masses, do people know, worry, alleviate grievances, warm people, to do more to make people satisfied with the good facts, and fully mobilize people's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, so that our party always has the inexhaustible source of strength.
We commemorate Comrade Zhu De, is to learn his lifelong learning, life, the spirit of struggle forward. Comrade Zhu De has experienced the old democratic revolution, the new democratic revolution, the socialist revolution and socialist construction in several historical periods, always standing in the forefront of the times. He often used "the revolution to the old, old to learn, to the transformation of the old" push yourself with a China saying "it is never too late to learn, there are three points to learn" to encourage comrades around. He stressed that "if you don't study, you will fall behind, you can't go along with the society". During the Yanan period, in order to encourage the study of cadres, the CPC Central Committee has stipulated that the birthday of Marx in May 5th as a "cadre study Festival", he was named the first learning section of the model student". In mid 60s, comrade Zhu De is 80 years old, still insist on reading the provisions of the 32 CPC Central Committee Lenin learning. He not only pay attention to the study of book knowledge, but also pay more attention to learning from the masses in practice.

In today's era, the update of knowledge is accelerating, and all kinds of new knowledge, new situations and new things emerge one after another. The world is advancing, the society is progressing, the life is changing, we must keep up with the pace of history. In the current rapidly changing situation, do not move forward is back, will not lag behind. Today, the whole Party must correctly understand and handle the new situation and new problems of China's development after the emergence of, and continuously improve our own ability, not only to use knowledge learned in practice, and develop new abilities to solve problems in practice. We should seriously study the Marx doctrine, which we do all the work of the special skills. By learning to master Marx's stand, viewpoint and method, improve the ability of strategic thinking, comprehensive decision-making ability, the ability to control the overall situation, achieve unity, enhance the scientific work, proactive, initiative, avoid the little-known and fans, but I do not know blind ignorance and chaos dilemma. All Party members especially leading cadres at all levels should have a sense of urgency to strengthen learning, to combine their own work, study the guidelines and policies of the party and state laws and regulations, to learn all aspects of economy, politics, history, culture, society, science and technology, military, diplomatic and other knowledge.
