The Provincial Bureau of Surveying and Mapping celebrates the "Seven-One" event and strives for commendation at the Congress. Comrades, on the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, we gather here ceremoniously to celebrate a birthday party, revisit the party history, remember our revolutionary journey, and sing praises of its glory. From its birth to now, the Communist Party of China has already traversed a brilliant course of 85 years.
From the Opium War in 1840 to the founding of the Communist Party of China in 1921, the Chinese nation experienced countless humiliations and struggles but could not find the truth that would save it or the right path. In the process of uniting Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese labor movement, the Communist Party emerged as required by the times, and in July 1921, the first party congress of the Communist Party of China officially declared its establishment. Since then, leading the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutionary struggle, striving for national independence and people's liberation, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese mission, this historical task fell upon the shoulders of the Communist Party of China, entering a new stage of development for the Chinese revolution.
Our party experienced the Northern Expedition, the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Liberation War, defeating Japanese militarist aggression, overthrowing the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, finally capturing nationwide victory in the democratic revolution, and establishing New China. After the founding of New China, it completed the transition from New Democracy to socialism, comprehensively established the basic socialist system, and made efforts to explore China’s path of socialist construction. With the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee marked a new leadership era of the Communist Party of China, we pioneered the development of socialism in a new period, walking our own road, putting the building of socialism with Chinese characteristics into pace, accelerating the advancement of socialist reform, opening up, and modernization construction in a new phase. Since the Sixteenth National Congress, we have led the entire nation to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects on a new journey.
In 85 years, through the blood of countless martyrs writing commitments, the majority of party members have fulfilled their pledges in practice; our party has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, developing from an initial establishment of around 50 members to having approximately 70 million members of the working class party, becoming a world political party. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have seized the bull by the horns, overcoming numerous difficulties, engaging in revolutionary struggles, rapidly developing the economy and society, making the country increasingly prosperous, raising the living standards and cultural educational levels of the people.
Particularly since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the majority of the people adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of the Three Represents, deepening reforms, expanding openness, advancing Chinese-characteristic socialist modernization, significantly increasing comprehensive national strength, focusing on economic-centered socialist modernization endeavors, achieving worldwide attention-worthy great achievements. Since the new central collective leadership with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary took office, adhering to the principle of governing for the public good and ruling for the people, looking far ahead from a high plane, taking overall situations into account, proposing to establish and implement the scientific outlook on development, implementing a series of major measures, enabling China's development and raising its unprecedented international status.
Cherishing the memory of the party's history, we firmly believe: without the Communist Party of China there would be no new China, only the Communist Party of China can lead the Chinese people to create new victories in socialist revolution and construction, writing a glorious chapter in the nation's history; we deeply feel: the Communist Party of China is armed with Leninist doctrine, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, and the important thought of the Three Represents; always representing the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, representing the direction of China's advanced culture, representing the fundamental interests of the masses; responsible for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the history of the people of all ethnic groups, supported and loved and esteemed by the party; it is a great, glorious, correct party.
Today, we gather ceremoniously, looking forward to a better future for XX mapping, carrying forward excellent traditions, motivating the spirit of development, and consolidating powerful synergies for the construction of a harmonious unit. Today, the Congress will also commend advanced grassroots Party organizations, outstanding Party members, and outstanding Party workers within the bureau. These advanced collectives and individuals are outstanding representatives emerging from our office's reform, development, and stability over the past nearly two years. With their own practical actions, they embody the important thought of the Three Represents, writing loyalty to the party and the people, encouraging everyone to be enthusiastic and press on, striving hard to create a brilliant future for the Sichuan Bureau.
Here, I, on behalf of the Party Leadership Group of the Bureau, extend warm congratulations to the advanced collectives and individuals, express my highest respect and greetings to the Party members who dedicate themselves, work hard, persevere, and work selflessly in their respective posts! Sincerely looking forward to all Party comrades composing new merits for the development of the Surveying and Mapping industry, building a harmonious society, achieving beautiful performances again!
Looking back over the past few years, under the correct leadership of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the provincial Party committee, and the provincial government, adhering to Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of the Three Represents as guidance, with a scientific outlook on development at work, conscientiously performing management functions in mapping, unified supervision in surveying and mapping, according to the law of surveying and mapping, working hard in unity, pioneering innovation, successfully completing all work, realizing the sustainable development of surveying and mapping production, actively providing timely and reliable surveying and mapping support and services for national and local economic construction, XX span type development, and the big development of the west.
Party building work has been further strengthened. At all levels, Party organizations within our bureau have organized theoretical learning, carried out ideological and political work combined with the actual situation of the units, strengthened Party conduct Lianzheng, promoting administration according to law and style construction. The majority of Party members have well played a vanguard and exemplary role, maintaining the advanced nature of Communist Party members. The XX Bureau of Surveying and Mapping is moving towards a new milestone, ensuring the stability and harmony of reform and development units, promoting overall coordination and development of the three civilizations.
In recent years, we have actively engaged in the work of the provincial Party committee, the provincial people, the provincial government, and the provincial CPPCC, strengthening communication and coordination with provincial departments, positively supporting the development of surveying and mapping in XX province, effectively promoting the development of surveying and mapping. We revised the implementation of the XX Province Surveying and Mapping Management Ordinance, strengthening the unification and supervision of surveying and mapping work in the province, establishing grading and grading input. Last April, the XX Province Office issued a notice regarding specific city and county surveying and mapping management structures and responsibilities. In September, the provincial government issued a document determining that our bureau assumed major responsibilities for managing surveying and mapping work. Currently, the entire province, including each city and partial counties, implements administrative departments of surveying and mapping and responsibilities. The provincial government, at its eighty-sixth standing conference in April, decided to invest 99,730,000 yuan during the eleventh five-year plan period on the basis of surveying and mapping, with the XX Province Geographical Spatial Fundamental Framework Construction Project to be implemented. We jointly issued with the provincial Development and Reform Commission a notice on strengthening basic surveying and mapping planning, striving to incorporate the basic surveying and mapping program into the municipal eleven five-year plans and annual plans. Our province's surveying and mapping management funds increased from the original 100,000 yuan per year to 300,000 yuan in 2003 and then to 2,000,000 yuan. Surveying and mapping production realized gross growth in service capabilities, with security service capabilities continuously improving, last year's global mapping service value reaching 135,000,000 yuan. We attach importance to the construction of surveying and mapping science and technology talent teams and constantly promote scientific and technological progress. We enhanced cooperation and exchanges with research institutes and agencies, building a digital surveying and land information application engineering key laboratory of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping and a college students' practice base with Wuhan University.
