In 2021, the Chinese zodiac year of the Ox, the Communist Party of China (CPC) is celebrated for its 100th birthday. Congratulations flood from both inside and outside the Party, from all around the world.

       回顾中共历程，感其昔日诞生之艰难，叹其幼年成长之坎坷，赞其今日成就之卓越。心潮起伏，热血澎湃。遂应世界华人华侨之倡议，酝酿数月而撰此赋，恭祝中共岁岁大顺，长青万代。

Recalling its past, we are keenly aware of how the CPC suffered during its born, struggled during its early development, and gained tremendous achievements today. We are so inspired and thrilled to the course of the Party that we eagerly respond to the idea of overseas Chinese people to write an ode, with months of work, to express our sincere hope that the Party will thrive long into the future.

       诚望全球政府，各国党派，国际友人，藉此赋文读懂中共，理解中共，相携相伴共创未来。

It is our sincere wish that global governments, parties and people across the world, through this ode, get to know and understand the CPC, and join hands with it in creating a promising future for all.

 

中国共产党赋

Ode to the Communist Party of China

On July 23, 1921, the 1st National Congress of

the Communist Party of China was held in Shanghai

 

       青春中共，东方精灵。观其百年党史，实乃天命所归，民心所向。中华破败之秋，民族苦难之时，精灵应运而生，负重前行；而后饱经华夏沧桑，满沐神州风雨；峥嵘岁月，自强不息。今以大党崛起于世界，开启中华繁荣新盛世，倡导人类命运共同体。

The CPC, as a great soul of the East, is thriving in the prime of life. Seen from its 100-year-long history, the great Party has done its destined course for the nation. At the time when the nation of China suffered in misery and struggled to survive, the Communist Party of China, as a great soul, was founded. And it went through dark age of hardship, with rain and wind, wars and battles. Though it deeply suffered from trials and tribulation, the Party has been striving on constantly and continuously in the uncommonly difficult times. Today, the CPC, rising and standing firmly in the east of the world, developing a golden age of prosperity, is striving for a community with a shared future for mankind.

       始自鸦片战争，列强肆虐，晚清贫弱，时代呼唤拯国救民之豪杰。先有戊戌变法，辛亥革命；后有新文化之思潮，五四青年运动。鉴于十月革命炮响，仁人志士点燃火炬，传播马列，爱国青年风云际会，工农群众纷纷响应，暗夜之光诞出东方精灵。

Since the First Opium War (1840-1842) in the late Qing dynasty when China was plagued by poverty and weakness and suffered from the invasion of imperial powers, heroes of the time were called for to save the nation. After several tries, including the Hundred Days’ Reform, 1911 Revolution, the New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement, the outbreak of the October Revolution fired the torch of Chinese men and women with high ideals to spread Marxism-Leninism across the country. Instantly, patriotic youth, workers and peasants gathered to respond the calling. The CPC, the great soul of the East, was born under the light of the dark night.

       天欲大任于精灵，势必苦其心志。精灵初生，如懵懂孩童；虽抱负远大，胸怀造福中华之初心，肩负振兴民族之使命，然幼弱良善而牵手国党。未料国党反目，腥风血雨；精灵方知世间险恶，奈何图存万里长征。天地有眼，岂能亡之，以夹缝而成长。

When the God is about to confer a great office on any man, it first exercises his mind with suffering. When the CPC was in early time, though being young and innocent, it had visions and ambitions deep down to benefit the Chinese people and revitalize the nation, it has to cooperate with Kuomintang make the course. However, when it was betrayed by the partner and suffered in pain with blood and death, the Party came to know what was the evil and had to undertake the Long March in order to maintain its military power. Despite the hardship it bore, the Party survived at last, with the God having its back.

       否极泰来，精灵炼成金刚，国共联合抗战；待到胜利时，国党欲争而气数已尽。于是乎，三大战役破国党，百万雄师过大江；国党溃败如山崩，亡命天涯去台岛。于是乎，解放中华开新国，肃清残敌剿寇匪。兵出援朝，铠甲金刚不屈服，血战到底定乾坤。

Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss. The CPC eventually grew strong enough to collaborate with the Kuomintang in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. When the war was over, the Kuomintang tried in vain to fight for the fruit of the success. While the CPC led its millions of forces across the Yangtze River after defeating the Kuomintang in the Liaoshen Campaign, Huaihai Campaign and Pingjin Campaign. And then the CPC drove the defeated Kuomintang to Taiwan. Finally, the Party liberated the country and found the People’s Republic of China. After eradicating the remaining enemy forces and bandits, it eventually proved itself to be irresistible in any fight with the success in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

       武已功，文未治，天之考验尚在。三年灾害，空乏其身；十年动荡，乱其所为；直至动心忍性，继而拨乱反正；顺天势附民意，改革开放；重法纪兴科教，创新两制。坚持中国特色社会主义之正道，领导中华儿女聚精会神搞建设。日月换新天，国政建功勋。

Wars were ended, but the CPC was still on trial in terms of governance. The three-year natural disaster exposed it to starvation and poverty, and ten-year Cultural Revolution harassed it by troubles and setbacks. Having experienced all these pains, the Party became tougher in nature, and it began introspection. Finally, it got the development path corrected and decided to reform and open itself up to the outside world. What’s more, the CPC was determined to rejuvenate the country through science and education as well as law-based governance, embarked on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and led its people to build a prosperous China together. As a result, China has put on a new look and seen its great achievements.

       回望精灵之路，肩负匡扶社稷之使命；战为无敌金刚，治则德慧船长。蹒跚学步到征战四方，不谙世事至掌舵中华。百年前数十人凝聚之小党，而今成员达九千余万，基层组织已趋五百万。抗疫救灾之迅猛，反腐脱贫之飞速，无不彰显其强大。

Looking back the development of the Party it has always taken the responsibility of the rejuvenation of China. The Party proved to be both irrepressible in the fighting and principled and wise in governance. From an infant to a warrior, from innocent to mature, the CPC, which is now head of the country, has witnessed its size grown from only dozens of members, to over 90 million people and nearly five million primary-level organizations. Effective work in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disaster, corruption and poverty has shown us how powerful the Party is.

       当代中共，既担天之大任，岂负时代重托。初心不改，使命依旧。高举民主、科学、和平之大旗；发起一带一路国际合作之倡议。伟哉！中共，为实现民族复兴之中国梦而奋发图强。壮哉！中共，为光耀东方造福世界，构建人民命运共同体而孜孜耕耘。

The CPC will never fail the time as it has taken the responsibility by the God. Staying true to its original mission, it remains committed to the principle of democracy, science and peace, and launches the Belt and Road Initiative which calls for global cooperation. Great is the Communist Party of China for it is striving for the Chinese nation to realize its dream of rejuvenation! Great is the Communist Party of China for it is pursuing relentlessly for a better China, a better world and a community with a shared future for mankind!

备注：精灵，汉语本意为最宝贵最聪慧的灵魂，相近词语如精英、精华等。

Note: soul is the translation of jingling in Chinese, which means the most precious and intelligent spirit. Similar words such as elite, essence.
