Abstract:
The important speech given by Xi Jinping at the Forum of Commemorating the 120th Anniversary of Zhou Enlai’s Birthday, not only posed higher requirements about continuing promoting and deepening the study of Zhou Enlai in the new era, but provided the basic doctrines about the research. In the future, the key points of study should include his lifespan and historic merits, ideological contribution, spiritual demeanor as well as the methodology of thought and practical work of Zhou Enlai.In this regard, it is necessary to achieve the “three combinations” which refer to combining the study of Zhou Enlai with the study of the history of modern and contemporary China, the CCP and the PRC, with the central work and historical mission of the CCP, with the combat in the ideological field.
