Editor's Note： A grand gathering in celebration of the 105th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Wednesday. Zhong Jue, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a leading expert in mechanical engineering, is one of the eight recipients of the July 1 Medal, the CPC's highest honor. Recently, Zhong, a witness to China's industrial development from the very first Five-Year Plan to the 15th now, was interviewed at Central South University in Changsha, Central China's Hunan Province. She revealed her life story of national service, perseverance, scientific rigor and mentoring.

Any discussion regarding the future of cross-Straits relations that is predicated on underestimating, misunderstanding and misinterpreting the governance capabilities of the CPC will only lead Taiwan society into deeper cognitive distortions. And this is precisely the lesson that Taiwan society most needs to learn today.

The CPC advances with an unstoppable momentum. Its vision of working with the world to build a community with a shared future for humanity is as vast as the ocean, and its path is filled with brilliant light.
