It may always be important to remember that both the stages of historical development of a nation and the people who are instrumental in the fulfillment of its promise--a least in accordance with the imperatives of a ruling ideology guided by the leading social forces of a nation organized in collective form--come and go.That is especially true of a Leninist collective true to the ultimate ideal of moving the nation forward toward the establishment of a communist society. Every generation of collective leadership rises--and dies. And with every generation and historical era, a particular approach to the general contradictions of historical development that marks the success or failure of Leninist collective leadership also rises, and ends. Yet every historical era leaves behind its record, and passes along its lessons--sometimes good and sometimes less so--its successes and failures--as both the nation and the collective learn from and move forward along whatever ideological road they have fashioned for themselves. In the case of Marxist-Leninist collectives, it is of course the socialist path; among liberal democratic leadership collectives it is the a path toward social perfection of a different sort.
Either way, the preservation of the past serves as both warning and instruction for those who come after--to build on the successes and learn from the errors of the great stages of historical development put of which the nation has emerged. That requires preservation of the memorialized thinking of the core of leadership of these collectives. Preservation is not enough; it is also necessary to make that thinking available to the masses (in Leninist collectives, to the masses and the cadres of collective organs) so that they might study the foundations of their current stage of historical development as a function of the stage of historical development just past--guided, of course, by the leadership core of the vanguard overseeing collective efforts to meet the contemporary contradictions of the current era.
In China, the contemporary New Era stage of historical development, which represents the current stage of Chinese historical development strictly on the socialist path, it is necessary to development both sources and guidance for the great and often remarkable thinking of the past Reform and Opening Up Era. Carefully guided by the current collective core of leadership it is understood that contemporary mass organs can serve as a platform through which individuals might learn much from the recent past to help guide them to better understand the current situation. This is a dialectical process which is a core principle of Leninism and bound up in the ethos of the mass line, democratic centralism, and more fundamentally within the principles of people's democratic dictatorship.
The choice of publishing the collected works of 李鹏 (Li Peng), rather than others is as instructive. It is especially instructive as a point of emphasis. This publication signals importance, in the sense that the works are worth reading--guided by the current vanguard. As is well known. Li Peng was both a child of the revolutionary era (closely connected to Zhou Enlai and his wife after the murder of his father, studying in Yan'an and then Moscow from the 19040s through the mid-1950s), and then, during much of the post-revolutionary period through the end of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, working in the power sector. From the beginning of the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, Li Peng moved up in leadership circles becoming Premier in 1988. He is perhaps best known for two things that have substantial resonance in the New Era. The first was his skepticism of markets and markets driven governance, preferring tighter controls over market mechanisms in a Leninist state (in the language of the official summary bios see eg here). The second was his political position with respect to the protests of 1989, in which he played a significant and influential role in decision making and in the development of the theoretical position of the vanguard.

In a sense, then, Li Peng, represents a Leninist position in which the state drives markets, or that markets, at best, are instruments of state policy and useful for attaining public policy goals (a position that liberal democratic techno-bureaucracies are increasingly converging around, eg here). He also represents a relatively pure expression of classical Leninist vanguard supremacy and its expression in both the ideals of people's democratic dictatorship and democratic centralism. More importantly, he served as a vocal advocate of the more pure expression of the notion that in a Leninist enterprise, political authority must be exercised by the leading social forces organized as a Communist Party (because they are best suited to guide the nation toward the establishment of a communist society), and that anti-Leninist forces and collectives must be understood as unpatriotic and at the extreme, beyond the dialectics of the mass line.
1989年春夏之交的政治风波中，在以邓小平同志为代表的老一辈无产阶级革命家坚决支持下，李鹏同志旗帜鲜明，和中央政治局大多数同志一道，采取果断措施制止动乱，平息反革命暴乱，稳定了国内局势，在这场关系党和国家前途命运的重大斗争中发挥了重要作用。[During the political turmoil at the turn of the spring and summer of 1989, with the firm support of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries represented by Comrade Deng Xiaoping, Comrade Li Peng took a clear stand and, together with most comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, took decisive measures to stop the unrest and quell the counterrevolutionary riots, stabilized the domestic situation and played an important role in this major struggle related to the future and destiny of the party and the country.] (HERE)It is around these two core approaches to the Leninist enterprise in China that Li Peng 's voice might find its greatest utility in the New Era. The historical line of development, then, might be understood as unbroken, even as it is dynamic and contextually sensitive in its forward motion along the socialist path.
