　　In June 2022, the CPC Central Committee officially approved the publication of the Chinese edition of 100 Years of the Communist Party of China. Compiling the book was an important task entrusted to the Institute of Party History and Literature by the CPC Central Committee. General Secretary Xi Jinping attached great attention to the book and gave important instructions for its compilation, setting the book’s direction and providing its editors clear guidance and basic principles.

　　With a total of 860,000 Chinese characters and 455 photos, the book is divided into four volumes: “The New-Democratic Revolution,” “Socialist Revolution and Development,” “Reform, Opening Up, and Socialist Modernization,” and “A New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.”

　　With Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as their guide, the book’s editors applied the principles from Xi’s important statements on the CPC’s history and his major speeches and instructions on Party history and literature work. With a strong understanding of the CPC’s history, they remained true to historical materialism, freed their minds, and sought truth from facts. They followed both Party principles and a science-based approach. Not only rich in political theory but also authoritative, academic, and highly readable, the book is the most systematic, complete, and up-to-date official text on the CPC’s history.

　　To properly understand today’s China, one must understand the Communist Party of China. The publication of the English edition of 100 Years of the Communist Party of China provides foreign readers with an authoritative text on the CPC’s history. It is an important way for the CPC to tell its stories, to better communicate and clarify its history, and to help global audiences understand its mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Through this book, the world can know the keys to the success of the CPC, of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and of Marxism in China.
