在新世纪新阶段,继续保持和发扬艰苦奋斗精神同贯彻“三个代表”重要思想是完全一致的。继续保持和发扬艰苦奋斗精神,是我们党经受新的历史考验的需要,是保持党的先进性和纯洁性的需要,是实践党的根本宗旨的需要,是开拓创新、加快发展的需要。 In the new phase of the new century, continuing to maintain and carry forward the spirit of arduous struggle is in complete agreement with the implementation of the important thinking of the ’Three Represents.’ To continue to maintain and carry forward the spirit of hard work and struggle is the need for our party to withstand the new historical test, the need to maintain the party’s advanced nature and purity, the need to practice the fundamental purposes of the party, and the need to pioneer and innovate and speed up development.
