people inspiring and motivating them to overe difficulties and obstacles and The spirit of the Long March is ingrained in the blood of the CPC and the Chineseachieve one victory after another. According to Eddie Turkson a Ghanaian scholar what most developing countries can learn from the spirit of the Long March is China'snever give-up spirit namely its perseverance and unswerving will to overe everyobstruction in the course of development.
Today China has embarked on a new long march to realize the Chinese Dream ofnational rejuvenation. President Xi Jinping first put forward the idea ofthe ChineseDream on a visit to “The Road to Rejuvenation” exhibition at the National Museum ofChina in November 2012. He said *Everyone has an ideal ambition and dream. We are
the Chinese nation has been the greatest dream of the Chinese people since the adventof modem times.” As Robert Kuhn chairman of the Kuhn Foundation and recipient ofthe China Reform Friendship Medal (2018) argues *The Chinese Dream differs fromthe American Dream in that it expresses China's collective aspirations*the greatrejuvenation of the Chinese nation’ (in Xi's words)and it differs from the Chinesedream in Chinese history by embracing the personal dreams of individual ChineseRobert Engelman president of Worldwatch Institute maintains that the Chinese Dreamputs more emphasis on the mon wellbeing of the Chinese people as a whole whichis different from the “American Dream” that focuses more on individual freedom and achance to succeed financially.
To realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation President Xi has called onall members of the CPC to rally and lead the Chinese people to march towards the TwoCentenary Goals. Under the Party's leadership China has achieved its First CentenaryGoa1 of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and is on the new longmarch in confident strides towards realizing the Second Centenary Goal of building
China's success in realizing the First Centenary Goal lies in the CPC's closeconnection with the Chinese people. On the 100th anniversary of the founding of theCPC (July 1 2021) President Xi said “The Party has in the people its roots itslifeblood and its source of strength. The Party has always represented the fundamentalinterests of all Chinese people; it stands with them through thick and thin and shares amon fate with them." Amazed at China's dramatic rise over the past decades Stephen Perry chairman of the 48 Group Club in the UK points out that “China hastransitioned from the *sick man of Asia’ to a leading global nation in those 100 years.based on hearing the people and developing realistic steps to rebuild China. Without the This is due to the hard work and sacrifice of the people of China and the CPC leadershippeople this could not be achieved and without the CPC this could not be achieved.
In the process of realizing the First Centenary Goal there emerged a uniqueChinese model of development championed by the CPC. The Chinese model ofdevelopment has drawn widespread admiration from most developing countries. AsTurkson rightly points out “The Chinese model of development is a phenomenonunprecedented in history. It is recognized as an outstanding model by both developedand developing nations who are eager to replicate the model to their benefit..The seedsof this model unknown to many were sown during the Long March. It is that same spiritthat makes the Chinese development model thrive and sustainable."
The Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation is a dream for peace development cooperation and mutual benefit for all. China's new long march towards national
rejuvenation has followed and will continue to follow a peaceful path. In the words ofDigby Wren an international relations scholar from Deakin University in Australia “Infact China has made great achievements on almost all fronts because the Party followsthe peaceful path to national rejuvenation seeks to resolve disputes through peacefultalks and does not believe in interfering in the internal affairs of other countries."
The Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation will benefit not only the Chinesepeople but also people of allcountries across the globe. According to Kuhn “Looking back future historians will likely assess the Chinese Dream as a visionary milestonethat energized President Xi's transformation of China across a broad spectrum ofplex economic social and govermance issues. The entire world shouldbenefitthough missteps along the way will be easy to make." The Chinese Dream andthe world's dream are growing closer together. According to John Ross a senior fellowat Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies Renmin University of China “Theprosperity of China contributes to the prosperity of the whole world. That's why theChinese Dream helps other countries. They don't have to understand exactly what theChinese Dream is but they know that theyre just benefiting from the rapid
