Secondly, all the Party members should maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment. Thirdly, "The Confidence in the Path, Theory, System and Culture" theory must be fully implemented.

During the lecture, Yang also led the comrades to review General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on the party’s history to fully understand the significance of carrying out Party’s history education. Besides, he made brief retrospect of the Party’s hundred-year glorious journey and great historical contributions. He stressed that studying history is a way to better move into the future. Based on the new starting point and new journey, we must grasp the historical mission of the CPC in the new era and the historical position of China's development, draw on historical experience, fully grasp the practical requirements, and accurately grasp the focus of Party history study and education.

Firstly, Party members should learn the power of the guiding thoughts and arm the Party with innovative theories. Secondly, we must further grasp the law and general trend of historical development and always hold the historical initiative in advancing the cause of the Party and the country. Thirdly, Party members should deepen the understanding of the nature and the purpose of the Party and resolutely hold the flag of Marxist character. Fourthly, Party members should look into the Party’s history experience and continuously improve the ability to deal with challenges. Fifthly, Party members should keep the innovative spirits and the Arduous Struggle spirit. Finally, Party members should further strengthen the unity and centralization of the Party to ensure the whole party advances in unison.

Yang Chuantang called for further study of Xi Jinping’s Thoughts on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which means that all the Party members should continue to learn the core spirit and deeper meaning of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s thoughts. Besides, all Party members should view Xi’s thoughts in three dimensions: theory, history experience, and practical methods and understand Xi’s thoughts in four dimensions: politics, leading idea, theoretical guideline, and logical analysis. What’s more, Party members should act practically to combine theory and practice and serve the people heart and soul. Following these guidelines Party members can settle the challenges from grassroots and mass and bring Chinese people sense of gain, happiness, and security.

About 110 members of the leadership team of the Party in Wuhan, cadres at or above the department level, and grassroots Party branches secretaries attended the study session at the main conference hall.
