Abstract：It is called at the 19th national congress of the Chinese Communist Party that our party must undertake a great struggle with many new contemporary features. Such an assessment originates from basic approaches of Marxism, materialism and dialectics. A man needs to think, and he should feed himself in the first place, which makes the prerequisite instead of the result of thinking. To feed himself, the man has to struggle for the interest distribution, either in the name of a certain nation or class, which makes the struggle to be the principle aspect of contradictions, and the essence of phenomena. Great struggles called for dialectics, as well as materialism. Materialism specifies boundaries of behaviors, while dialectics balances relationship between life and death. A review of history reveals that more states are overthrew by excessive expansion rather than enemys invasion. Since, as the Chinese saying goes, the last leg of a journey just marks the halfway point, we must have a good command of basic approaches of Marxist dialectical materialism to comprehend and remake the world.
