People's Republic of China (PRC) President Liu Shaoqi. He has made six outstanding historical contributions to the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), and has an important historical position. As an important member of the first generation of our party's collective leadership and a great Marxist theorist, Liu Shaoqi made great contributions to the formation and development of Mao Zedong Thought, the theoretical achievement of Marxism China, especially to the establishment of Mao Zedong Thought as the party's guiding ideology. From 1956, Liu Shaoqi, with his strategic vision and political courage, tried to "find a relatively complete route suitable for China" in socialist construction. On the basis of a large number of investigations and studies, he made an important contribution to this and took a gratifying step in deciphering what socialism is and how to build it. Liu Shaoqi, who is famous for being pragmatic and good at theoretical thinking and solving difficult problems on the road ahead, insists on proceeding from reality and has made important contributions to exploring his own socialist construction road.

★ Does the development of the country have his shadow now? After 1956, Comrade Liu Shaoqi made painstaking thoughts and efforts in the preliminary exploration of the law of socialist construction, and put forward many original opinions and propositions, which still have reference and guiding significance for us to build socialism with China characteristics today. Liu Shaoqi's precious and arduous exploration was interrupted by the "Cultural Revolution" and even persecuted to death. However, it is gratifying that Deng Xiaoping, a close comrade-in-arms of Liu Shaoqi, led the whole party and people of all ethnic groups in China to emancipate their minds, seek truth from facts, inherit predecessors on the basis of new practice, break through stereotypes, sum up historical experiences and lessons, and successfully embarked on a Socialism with Chinese characteristics road.
