Bringing order out of the ideological line is the premise and forerunner of bringing order out of all aspects. The plenary session broke through the severe fetters of dogmatism and personality cult in the Party's guiding ideology, resolutely criticized and denied the wrong policy of "two whatevers", spoke highly of the discussion on the criterion of truth, pointed out that practice is the only criterion for testing truth and the fundamental principle of the Party's ideological line, and re-established the Marxist ideological line of seeking truth from facts.
Correct the political line. This is the most fundamental way to set things right.
Second, the plenary session began to systematically clean up major historical rights and wrongs. The plenary session seriously discussed some major political events during the "Cultural Revolution" and some historical issues left over before the "Cultural Revolution".
Third, the plenary session broke the cult of personality and restored the party's tradition of democratic centralism.
Fourth, the plenary session made a new decision to implement reform and opening up and initiated a new process of rural reform.
These changes made by the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee are of great significance in leadership work, which indicates that China has fundamentally broken through the serious shackles of long-term "Left" mistakes, rectified the party's guiding ideology, freed the vast number of party member, cadres and the masses from the shackles of the cult of personality and dogmatism that prevailed in the past, and comprehensively restored and established the correct line of Marxism ideologically, politically and organizationally. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party opened a new chapter in the history of the Party and the country, which was a great turning point with far-reaching significance in the history of our Party since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
