江泽民总书记的“三个代表”思想是对无产阶级革命领袖关于党的先进性思想的继承和发展，它集中体现了新时代下党的先进性的科学内涵。坚持“三个代表”，既是始终保持党的工人阶级先锋队性质，使党永远立于不败之地的需要，也是新形势下对全体党员干部提出的更新更高的要求。 General Secretary Jiang Zemin’s thinking on “the three represents” inherits and develops the proletarian revolutionary leader’s thinking on the advanced nature of the party. It focuses on the scientific connotation of the advanced nature of the party under a new era. To uphold the “three represents” is not only the need to always maintain the nature of the party’s vanguard of the working class so that the party will always remain invincible, but also a newer and higher requirement for all party members and cadres in the new situation.
