On May 18, the International Museum Day, an "Immersive Ideological and Political Course" opened by Wuhan Revolutionary Museum. The audience started from Wuchang Agricultural Lecture Center, passed by Mao Zedong's former residence and the site of the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China, and finally came to the History Exhibition Hall of Discipline Construction of the CPC.
On April 27, 1927, the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held at No. 20, Dufudi, Wuchang, Wuhan. The CPC Discipline Construction History Museum is located next to it and has been open since May 9, 2019. It became an important witness of the history of the CPC in 1927, and comprehensively presented the nearly 100 year history of discipline building of the Communist Party of China. It was here that the first group of discipline inspection supervisors in the history of the CPC came out. Who are they? What contributions have they made to the Party's discipline building? What glorious course has the Party's discipline construction gone through? Recently, the reporter interviewed Gao Wan'e, the curator of the CPC Discipline Construction History Museum.
What are the practices of the History Museum in using red resources? What effect has been achieved?
Gao Wan'e: Taking the history of the Party's discipline construction as the axis, we use 405 pieces (sets) of cultural relics, more than 700 precious historical photos and other historical materials to show the vivid stories of people emerging in the process of discipline construction, activate the red resources, so as to infect, affect and educate the audience, so that the audience can not only understand the rich historical content of the Party's discipline construction, We also draw strength from the strict requirements of these historical figures. Since its opening, the History Museum has continued to attract visitors to visit and study. Since this year, the number of visitors has exceeded 160000.
Today, the History Museum has become the first thematic exhibition hall in China that comprehensively demonstrates the glorious history of the Party's discipline construction. It is located in Wuhan, a "city of heroes", and close to the site of the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China. It means that starting from the starting point of the Party's supervision and discipline enforcement, we should explore the great footprints of supervision and discipline enforcement, so that the majority of Party members and cadres can learn from history to understand the truth, increase their credibility, respect morality and practice history. In commemorating the special moment of the centenary of the founding of the Party, it will be more helpful to inspire all Party members to withstand any test and make the Party invincible forever.
Reporter: Why was the Central Supervisory Commission, the first central discipline inspection and supervision institution in the history of the Party, elected at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China? What is the significance of establishing such a committee?
Gao Wan'e: In 1927, there was a counter revolutionary coup that shocked China and foreign countries. The CPC and the revolutionary movement led by it entered an extremely difficult period. At this critical moment of life and death, the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Wuhan from April to May 1927. This year, the CPC has increased from 994 members of the Fourth National Congress of the Communist Party of China to 57967, a 57 fold increase.
The Central Supervision Committee was elected at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in order to clarify the Party's discipline, strengthen the education, management, supervision and discipline enforcement of Party members, and maintain the progressiveness and purity of the Party. This is the first central discipline inspection and supervision institution in the history of the Party and the predecessor of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which has opened the organizational innovation of the inner-party supervision system. After the establishment of the Central Supervisory Committee, it immediately performed its duties in accordance with the Party Constitution and punished Bao Huiseng, the first representative of the CPC National Congress, and other party members. After the failure of the Great Revolution, 8 of the 10 commissioners, including Wang Hebo, died successively, and none of them defected to the enemy, demonstrating their loyalty to the Party and the people with their lives.
Reporter: From the birth of the Central Supervisory Commission to the agrarian revolutionary war, from the War of Resistance against Japan to the founding of New China, from the reform and opening up period to the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, what are the characteristics of the Party's discipline building work in the past hundred years? How does the CPC carry out discipline building?
Gao Wan'e: The centenary of the founding of the Party is also the centenary of our Party's continuous discipline building. This glorious history can be summarized by four groups of keywords: creation and exploration, promotion and twists and turns, recovery and development, and new era and new journey.
For example, in August 1921, the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted the first program of the Party, which contained 15 articles, 10 of which related to Party discipline. The Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted the first Constitution of the CPC and set up a special chapter on discipline to set general rules for itself. For another example, from the beginning of 1932 to the autumn of 1934, the Central Soviet Area carried out a large-scale campaign to punish corruption, and issued the first anti-corruption decree in the history of the Party, "On Punishing Corruption and Waste". From the period of the new democratic revolution to the period of socialist revolution and construction, the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, to the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the CPC has always written strict discipline on its own banner.
Anti corruption is a long-term, complex and arduous task. It can be seen from historical documents and real cases that since the birth of our Party, we have placed special emphasis on the Party's discipline and organizational strength, always adhered to the attitude and determination to fight corruption, and always guarded our Party's original intention and mission with iron discipline. This is also an important reason why our Party can grow from small to large, from weak to strong, and from victory to victory.
