It was initially assigned to the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences as one part of several thematic discussions on Marxist classics and the three generations of leaders of our Party. Later, it was revised and expanded into the present book, now publicly published and distributed as an important reference for studying and researching Marxist theory on the construction of the Party, especially for helping the masses thoroughly implement and deepen their understanding of the "Three Represents" important thought and comprehensively advance the new great project of Party construction.
