The important experience out of the century-old CPC’s growing from a weak party to a strong one, overcoming numerous hardships, and constantly moving towards glory lies in its strengthening party construction, overcoming corruption with frugality, and maintaining the vitality of the Party as well as the vigorous revolutionary morale of its members and cadres. As opposed to some other countries in the world where a high-salary policy is adopted to curb corruption, the CPC leaders attach great importance to the efficacy of diligence and frugality in overcoming corruption. Over the past hundred years, the CPC has unceasingly called on its members and cadres to be diligent and thrifty, launched several frugality campaigns, purified the minds of cadres, fostered a clean social atmosphere, maintained a tenacious revolutionary morale, and achieved one victory after another. It is of great practical significance for the CPC on a new journey of the new era to continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship, with the purpose of governing the Party strictly and overcoming corruption in a comprehensive manner.
