Entry into the party

After the founding of the Communist Party of China, on the party's major and second major, the "Chinese Communist Party Program" and the "Chinese Communist Party Constitution" were respectively passed. Both the "Programme" and the "Articles of Association" put forward relatively clear requirements for party members' words and deeds, and at the later party congress, they have continuously revised the party constitution, thus further improving the requirements of party members.

In the era of the Red Army, the pledge of joining the party has been relatively standardized. Its contents are: strict observance of confidentiality, obedience to discipline, sacrifice of individuals, class struggle, hard work, and never rebellion. The pledge of joining the party during the War of Resistance Against Japan was changed to: I volunteered to join the Communist Party of China, resolutely implement the party's resolutions, abide by the party's discipline, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, and strive for the cause of communism. The pledge of joining the party during the War of Liberation was changed to: I volunteered to join the Communist Party of China and made the following oath: First, I will fight for the cause of communism for life. Second, the interests of the party are above all else. Third, obey the party's discipline. Fourth, not afraid of difficulties, always work for the party. Fifth, to be a model of the people. Sixth, we must keep the secrets of the party. 7. Have confidence in the party. Eight, perseverance will never betray the party. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the pledge of joining the party was changed to: I volunteered to join the Communist Party of China, recognized the party constitution, implemented the party's resolutions, obeyed the party's discipline, and kept the party's secrets, ready to sacrifice everything for the whole people and fight for the complete liberation of all mankind.

The party’s 12th National Congress, held in September 1982, first entered the party constitution as a party. The party’s pledge is to join the Communist Party of China, support the party’s program, abide by the party’s charter, fulfill party members’ obligations, implement party decisions, strictly observe party discipline, preserve party secrets, be loyal to the party, and work actively. Struggling for communism for life, ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people, never to rebel. It is the first time in the history of the Chinese Communist Party to write the party’s oath into the party constitution. The party constitutions passed by the 13th, 14th, and 15th National Congress of the Party reaffirmed this article.
