So how do they celebrate - let's look at Xinhua news agency:
·The CPC, which was founded on July 1,1921, is to celebrate the 87th anniversary.
·The CPC has been strengthened and made more vigorous by the "winds and rains".
BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhua) -- The People's Daily newspaper is to publish an editorial on Tuesday to celebrate the 87th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which was founded on July 1,1921.
The editorial, headed "The Wind and Rain-tested, Staunch and Great Party", says the CPC, with more than 73 million members, has been strengthened and made more vigorous by the "winds and rains" of the past 87 years, while the trials have made it more mature and self-confident and its cause more glorious.
The history of the CPC is the unremitting struggle for the independence, emancipation and prosperity of the Chinese nation, as well as withstanding all kinds of adversity and going from victory to victory, the editorial says.
It calls the May 12 earthquake relief campaign a new and austere test for the Party. "The Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary has been firm and impassioned about bringing the situation under control, to lead the whole people of different ethnic groups in overcoming hardships."
The editorial speaks highly of the central role of Party organizations and members in dealing with difficulties and risks and their loyalty to the Party and the people, in both war and peace.
"We are convinced that the wind and rain-tested Communist Party of China must be able to shoulder the historic task and live up to the expectations of the people," it says.
