The year 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). As a poem goes: “却顾所来径, 苍茫横翠微” [We looked back at the path travelled, a vast mountain forest came in sight].” (by LI Bai) To find the way ahead and to promote continuous advancement of the Marxist philosophy, it is of vital importance to summarize and reflect the history of the development of the Marxist philosophy in China over the 70 years after the founding of the PRC. The summary and reflection must be reality-oriented and self-oriented, to draw ideological quintessence and courage, as well as to find the right path to the future.
