Historical materialism believes that "historical initiative" means that people, as historical subjects, give full play to their conscious initiative, base themselves on historical orientation, conform to the general trend of historical development, consciously position their historical responsibilities, independently plan their historical grand plans, take the initiative to undertake their historical missions, grasp the historical initiative, and be brave in opening up the future.

As historical subjects, as long as people grasp the general trend of historical development, seize the opportunity of historical change, and strive for progress, human society can advance better.

How to grasp the historical initiative;

To grasp the historical initiative, we must persist in daring to struggle. On the new journey, the risk test we face will only become more and more complicated. Only by taking the initiative and resolutely fighting can we find a way out, win dignity and seek development. We should grasp the historical characteristics of the new great struggle, carry forward the spirit of struggle, grasp the initiative of struggle, overcome all difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead, and constantly win new victories in the great struggle in the new era.
