Significance of Gutian Conference

Gutian Conference combined Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of China's revolutionary struggle, and by strengthening the Party's ideological work, solved the fundamental problem of how to maintain the nature of the Party's proletarian vanguard and build a new people's army. This is an extremely important meeting in the history of people's army building.

The principles for the construction of the Red Army stipulated in the resolutions adopted at the meeting were not only implemented in the Red Fourth Army, but also gradually implemented in the Red Army in various places, which had a far-reaching impact on strengthening the construction of the Party and the Red Army.

Historical position

Gutian Conference summed up the experience and lessons of army building since the founding of the Red Fourth Front Army, established the basic principles of people's army building, declared that "the Chinese Red Army is an armed group that carries out revolutionary political tasks", reiterated the principle of the party's absolute leadership over the Red Army, opposed to weakening the party's leadership over the Red Army under any pretext, and must make the party a strong leader and unity core of the army.

Building the Party into the vanguard of the proletariat and building the army into a new type of people's army led by the proletariat is a fundamental issue related to the success or failure of the Party's cause, which was clearly stipulated in the resolution of Gutian Conference, which therefore became a great program and an important milestone in the construction of our Party and army.
