Gutian 古田

The report reviewed how the Gutian Conference, the Yan'an Rectification Movement, the Military Political Work Conference and the Central Military Commission Political Work Conference shaped the armed forces politically.

“Following the Party with an iron will” has never been merely a slogan; it is the soul of the people's armed forces that has never faded over nearly a century. From the ideological awakening of the Gutian Conference to the spiritual tempering of the Yan'an Rectification Movement, and from the renewed resolve of the All-Army Political Work Conference to the forging of conviction at the Central Military Commission Political Work Conference, the people's armed forces have become stronger, purer and more combat-capable through rectification and training.
