Marx and Engels focused on the development of big industry,the historical agency of the proletariat and the masses,the leadership of the proletarian party,and the ideology of internationalism in their examination and study of national rejuvenation.Their ideas on national rejuvenation emphasized not only the core principles of national independence and unity but also stressed the essential link between the socialist movement and the liberation movements of nations as an indispensable path to national rejuvenation.They considered the political demands of national rejuvenation on the structure of a single-state system and also the ideological aspirations concerning the culture and spirit of the nation,providing theoretical guidance for the proletariat and their parties in observing and addressing issues related to national rejuvenation.The contemporary significance embedded in Marx and Engels'ideas on national rejuvenation enlightens us that achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation requires adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China,safeguarding national unity and solidarity,perfecting the system of regional ethnic autonomy and the"one country,two systems"framework,following the path of Chinese-style modernization,and leveraging the"soft power"role of the national spirit and the outstanding traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
