Comrades! Our Congress has now concluded after eleven days—completely successful and victorious! (Applause) We have already adopted the principles and plans for the triumph of the revolution throughout China. (Applause) The victory of the revolution across the whole country is in our hands! (Applause) We must smash the imperialist-Kuomintang “encirclement and suppression”; we must overthrow the imperialist-Kuomintang. Our principles and plans have been decided! (Applause) The question before us now is to implement these principles and plans with absolute fidelity—100 percent. We must summon the courage to carry them out resolutely; we must have the mettle to act. We must rouse the zeal of all Soviet personnel and ignite the initiative of the broad masses. Our responsibility is immense. We bear the heavy burden entrusted to us by this Congress—the great revolutionary burden. With enthusiasm, firmness, and courage, we must take up this burden and press forward. We shall surely carry it to its destination! (Applause) Thoroughly defeat the Fifth “Encirclement and Suppression Campaign”; overthrow the imperialist-Kuomintang; secure the nationwide victory of the bourgeois-democratic revolution! Achieve nationwide victory for the worker-peasant democratic dictatorship! That is our goal. It is to this very point that we must carry the task assigned to us by the Congress. We must reach it—and reach it swiftly! (Applause) But does carrying the revolutionary burden to this point bring everything to an end? Is the worker-peasant democratic dictatorship our final objective? Comrades! Not yet—far from it. The revolutionary burden must be carried still farther. Today, we must point to that next stage: the socialist revolution under proletarian dictatorship. We must not only complete the democratic revolution but also steer it toward a future socialist course—to abolish the landlord class. Moreover, even as we speak, we must begin preparing for the day when, at the appropriate moment, we will abolish the capitalist system, eradicate the exploitation of man by man, just as the Soviet Union is doing now. And ultimately, we shall advance to communism, where each contributes according to his ability and receives according to his needs, ushering in the most free, radiant, and glorious world. Only then will there be humanity’s final liberation, humanity’s final victory. Let us fulfill our duty; let us boldly assume this great revolutionary responsibility and press forward in pursuit of our ultimate triumph! Long live the Soviets! Long live the victory of the revolution! Long live socialism! Long live communism! (Deafening cheers and thunderous applause throughout the hall.)
