(Excerpts from Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context: A Glorious Chapter in CPC’s Hundred-Year History by Wang Weiguang, Qiushi Journal, No. 04, 2021)

堅持馬克思主義與華夏實際相結合，必須堅持實事求是得思想路線

In adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, sticking to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts is absolutely essential

實事求是是馬克思主義活得靈魂，是華夏化馬克思主義得精髓，同時也是華夏共產黨人認識世界、改造世界得根本要求，是華夏共產黨得基本思想方法、工作方法、領導方法。不論過去、現在和將來，我們都要堅持實事求是得思想路線，密切聯系不斷發展得實踐，永不脫離實踐，不斷推進理論創新。實踐永無止境，理論創新也永無止境。馬克思主義不是僵硬得教條，而是隨著時代發展不斷豐富發展得。

Seeking truth from facts is the soul of Marxism, and the essence of sinicized Marxism. It is a fundamental necessity for Chinese Communists in comprehending and shaping the world, and the basic approach that underpins how the CPC thinks, works, and leads. Therefore, this line has always been and will continue to be adhered to. Meanwhile, we must remain in touch with evolution in practice, ensure that we never become divorced from practice, and constantly advance theoretical innovation. Just as there is no end to development in practice, there can be no end to theoretical innovation. As such, Marxism is by no means rigid dogma, but a theory that is enriched and developed on a constant basis with the changing times.
