The third issue of "Seeking Truth" magazine, published on February 1, will publish an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, "Strive to Become a Pillar of Talents Who Can Be Respectable and Responsible."
The article emphasizes that young cadres are born in a great era and are a new force for the development of the party and the country. They must practice their internal strength, improve their self-cultivation, and enhance their skills, and strive to become the pillars who can be used and shoulder heavy responsibilities. In order to achieve the second Work hard for the century-old goal, and live up to the expectations and trust of the party and the people!
The article pointed out that we must have firm beliefs and be loyal to the party. Since its founding a hundred years ago, the Communist Party of China has always been a party with lofty ideals and firm beliefs. This ideal and belief is the belief in Marxism, the lofty ideal of communism, and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual pillar and political soul of the Chinese Communists, as well as the ideological basis for maintaining the unity and unity of the party. Young cadres should keep in mind that firming up their ideals and beliefs is a lifelong task. Firm ideals and beliefs and loyalty to the party are closely linked. Only with firm ideals and beliefs can one be loyal to the Party. Loyalty to the Party is the best interpretation of firmness in ideals and beliefs.
The article points out that it is necessary to focus on reality and seek truth from facts. Persistence in proceeding from reality and seeking truth from facts is not only a matter of ideological methods, but also a matter of whether the party is strong or not. From the actual point of view of the current cadre team, insisting on seeking truth from facts most needs to be solved is the issue of party spirit. Whether a cadre seeks truth from facts can be viewed in many ways, but the most fundamental thing depends on whether he is telling the truth and telling the truth, whether he is doing practical things and seeking practical results. Young cadres must adhere to the Party spirit in doing things, take telling the truth, doing honest things, and being an honest person as an important part of party spirit cultivation and exercise, dare to uphold the truth, be good at independent thinking, and insist on seeking truth and being pragmatic.
The article points out that it is necessary to have the courage to take responsibility and be good at doing things. It is the responsibility and value of the cadre to be responsible. The party puts cadres in various positions to ask everyone to act as an official, not to be an official for pleasure. To be responsible, you must do your best and work hard, and you must never sit back and talk about the Tao or just talk without practicing. Responsibility and action are one, inaction means no responsibility, and action requires responsibility. Anything that is beneficial to the party and the people, we must do it boldly and resolutely without taking refuge or evading responsibility.
The article pointed out that we must adhere to principles and dare to fight. Adhering to principles is an important character of a Communist, and an important criterion for measuring whether a cadre is competent. To the Communists, "Mr. Nice" is not really a nice guy. To pursue good humanism, there is a problem with the starting point, because the good is oneself, and the bad is the atmosphere and career. When Communists talk about party spirit and principles, they must talk about struggle. Party cadres must have the spirit of impartiality and unselfishness in handling affairs, and they should focus on principles and not face, and on the party's spirit without favoritism. At all times, Communists must have the character, integrity, and courage not to believe in evil, not to be afraid of ghosts, and not to be stubborn.
The article pointed out that it is necessary to strictly abide by the rules and not exceed the bottom line. To follow the rules and keep the bottom line, you must first have a sense of reverence. Cadres must be in awe, guard against fear, keep the bottom line, respect the party, the people, and the law. Strict self-cultivation, can be strict self-discipline. We communists are for the sake of the Grand Duke, uphold the righteousness, and seek the greater self. We must be honest and respectful, always put the party and the people in the highest position in our hearts, and be a person who is single-minded, upright, and spotless. people. To be a cadre of the Communist Party, one should take personal reputation, status and interests lightly and let it go.
The article points out that it is necessary to study hard and practice hard to enhance skills. We are in an era of unprecedented change, and we are doing a great cause that has never been done before. If we do not have enough knowledge, vision, and ability, we will delay things. Young cadres are full of energy, active thinking and strong receptive ability. They are in a good period of growing their skills and talents. They must cherish their time, live up to their youth, learn eagerly and keep improving. (Xinhua News Agency)
Strive to become a pillar of talent who can be worthy of great use
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of our party. The whole party is carrying out education on party history. It is necessary to arrange for everyone to study at the Central Party School and receive more systematic party education and theoretical training. I will talk about the opening ceremony of each session of the youth class, mainly to talk with everyone and make some requirements for everyone.
First, firm belief and loyalty to the party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have repeatedly emphasized that party members and cadres must strengthen their ideals and beliefs. The reason why I have repeatedly emphasized this issue is because for a period of time, under the influence of various wrong thoughts and confused concepts, a considerable number of Party members and cadres lost the ideals and beliefs of the Communists, and only talked about utilitarianism rather than ideals, and only about selfish desires. Talk about faith.
Since its founding a hundred years ago, the Communist Party of China has always been a party with lofty ideals and firm beliefs. This ideal and belief is the belief in Marxism, the lofty ideal of communism, and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual pillar and political soul of the Chinese Communists, as well as the ideological basis for maintaining the unity and unity of the party. I have always emphasized that the ideals and beliefs of our party should not be vague or hesitant, but should be stated clearly and confidently. Once the Communist Party loses its ideals and beliefs, it will be no different from other political parties, it will lose its spiritual power and spiritual bond, it will become a mob, and it will not escape the fate of failure. Therefore, I have repeatedly emphasized that ideals and beliefs are the "calcium" of the Communists' spirit. If the Communists do not have ideals and beliefs, they will be mentally "deficient in calcium" and will suffer from "rickets", which will inevitably lead to political deterioration and economical deterioration. Greedy, morally depraved, and life-corrupt.

For party members and cadres, whether they have firm ideals and beliefs, or are full of utilitarian and selfish desires, determines a person's ideological realm and behavior. Only with firm ideals and beliefs can party members and cadres withstand various tests, walk steadily and go far; even run away. In real life, some party members and cadres are mentally empty, depressed, and subservient to material things, and believe in the supremacy of money, fame and fortune, and pleasure. , in the final analysis is caused by the shaking of ideals and beliefs.
I often say that we need to cultivate the "heart learning" of the Communists, and insist on the integration of learning, thinking and application, and the unity of knowledge, belief, and action. One of the important purposes is to require party members and cadres to strengthen their ideals and beliefs and strengthen their party spirit. Forming firm ideals and beliefs is neither achieved overnight, nor once and for all, nor is it firm as one thinks firm, but must be constantly tempered and tested in struggle and practice, and this test is long-term and often harsh. , is to last a lifetime. Countless revolutionary martyrs embarked on the revolutionary road. First of all, they continued to search for the truth in order to save the country and the people, and finally chose Marxism and communism. The recently broadcast TV series "Age of Awakening" vividly shows the early leaders of our party, facing the stormy situation of struggle, facing all kinds of doctrines, and finally firmly chose Marxism and communism. read. Li Dazhao said: "The purpose of life is to develop one's own life, but there are times when one must sacrifice one's life in order to develop one's life... A noble life is always in the form of heroic sacrifice." Li Dazhao faced the executioner's butcher's knife with awe-inspiring righteousness and generous sacrifice. Prove that his ideals and beliefs are extremely firm with actions. From the 100-year history of the party, tens of thousands of party members have passed the test of blood and fire, life and death to the end, countless party members have sacrificed their precious lives for their ideals and beliefs, and many people have been shaken or even shaken by the hard conditions and cruel struggles. Betrayed his ideals. Among the 13 people who participated in the Party's National Congress, 5 people, Wang Jinmei, Li Hanjun, Deng Enming, He Shuheng, and Chen Tanqiu, died. Big waves wash away the sand is a historical law. As Lu Xun said: "Because of the different ultimate goals, when marching, some people will be discharged from the army, some will be desolate, some will be dejected, and some will betray. We have an elite team.” Young cadres should keep in mind that firming up their ideals and beliefs is a lifelong task, and they need to be constantly practiced and practiced.
Firm ideals and beliefs and loyalty to the party are closely linked. Only with firm ideals and beliefs can one be loyal to the Party. Loyalty to the Party is the best interpretation of firmness in ideals and beliefs. Liu Guotiao, the prototype of Liu Siyang in the novel "Red Rock", was born in a wealthy family in Sichuan and was arrested and imprisoned for betrayal by a traitor. The spy advised him that he could be released immediately as long as he handed over the organization and published a newspaper to leave the party. Faced with persuasion, he answered categorically, "If I die and have the Party, I'm not dead; if I betray the organization, what's the point of living." Comrade Chen Yi took "revolution and firmness" as his life motto. During the Nanchang Uprising, he did not catch up. Later, he broke through many difficulties and found the uprising team. By the time of Tianxinwei, there were only 800 people in the team. He assisted Comrade Zhu De to gather the troops and said to everyone: "In the case of successful development, do It is easy to be a hero; it is much more difficult to be a hero in a situation of failure and retreat. Only a hero who has gone through failure is a real hero. We must be a hero in times of failure." This is what loyalty to the party should be, no matter the good times. In adversity, they all follow the party with determination and die without regrets.

To test whether party members and cadres are loyal to the party, in the revolutionary era, it depends on whether they can fight for the cause of the party and the people and sacrifice their lives. There are also clear test standards in peacetime. For example, whether we can uphold the Party's leadership, resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in ideology, politics and actions; whether we can resolutely implement the Party's theory, line, principles and policies, without compromise To implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee; can you strictly abide by the party's political discipline and political rules, and be a politically sensible and honest person; can you insist that the cause of the party and the people is above everything else, consciously implement organizational decisions, and obey organizational arrangements , etc., are all direct tests of party loyalty. For a long time, our party has a glorious tradition and fine style of work, that is, we can do whatever the party tells us to do, go wherever the party tells us to go, and where we have a career, we are home, without any second words or complaints. Today, we still have to vigorously carry forward this glorious tradition and fine style of work. Now, some cadres are only willing to stay in "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", and are unwilling to go to "New Zealand". This attitude cannot be said to be a firm belief in ideals and loyalty to the party. Organizationally, arranging young cadres to work in hard and remote areas is a matter of trust and cultivation. Young cadres should be proud of this and scramble for each other, rather than choosing the right one, choosing the thin one, worrying about gains and losses, and bargaining. Hesitating and thinking about the work arranged by the party organization, such cadres cannot be reused! When the time comes, there is a problem! Difficulties and hardships, Yuru is successful, a knife needs to be sharpened on a stone, and a person needs to practice it. It is difficult to become a great tool without wind and rain and without seeing the world.
Second, focus on reality and seek truth from facts. Adhering to the fact that everything is based on reality is the starting point and end point for us to think about problems, make decisions, and do things. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out a long time ago: "Determining the work policy according to the actual situation is the most basic work method that all Communist Party members must keep firmly in mind. The mistakes we made and the reasons for their occurrence were all because we left The actual local situation at that time determined one's own work policy subjectively." Comrade Mao Zedong spoke very pertinently. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I made it clear that "Strictly self-cultivation, strict use of power, strict self-discipline, truth-seeking, entrepreneurship, and being a person", and carried out special education in the whole party, the purpose is also here. The Party Central Committee has put forward many requirements, which must be consistently implemented.

Adhere to starting from reality, the premise is to go deep into reality and understand reality. Only in this way can we seek truth from facts. Likewise, only with an attitude of seeking truth from facts can we attach importance to going deep into reality and understanding reality. To understand the reality, we must master the basic skills of investigation and research. At present, all parties attach great importance to investigation and research, but more efforts must be made. The key is to make investigation and research in depth and to avoid superficiality and mere formality. Keep your eyes down and your feet down, often throw yourself down and sink to the front line, go to the near and far, watch the good and the bad, listen to the praise and criticism of the cadres and the masses, and truly understand the situation. . Now that communication is very developed, you can learn a lot by making phone calls, sending WeChat messages, and reading materials. Real and alive. The commonly used research methods of "squatting research" and "dissecting sparrows" in the past are still effective. The various pilot projects we are conducting now will be gradually promoted after success. This is the method of "dissecting sparrows". It is necessary not only to "enter" the grassroots level, but also to "heart to" the grassroots level, listen to the truth, observe the true feelings, really study the problems, and study the real problems. , there is grandstanding" is not acceptable! This is serious formalism and bureaucracy! We must work hard on in-depth analysis and thinking, remove the rough and extract the essence, remove the false and preserve the true, from this to the other, from the outside to the inside, to find the essence and laws of things, and find solutions to problems. We must make good use of the methods of exchange, comparison, and repetition, pay attention to listening to opinions from all sides, including the opinions of a few people, and opposing opinions, conduct three-dimensional analysis, think twice, and prevent self-righteousness and self-confidence. It is not a bad thing to be able to hear different voices, but through the process of “negation of negation” for many times, the thinking and decision-making made can be in line with reality.
I put forward the targeted poverty alleviation strategy based on in-depth investigation and research. Poverty alleviation is the ardent hope of the poor and the long-term wish of the older generation of revolutionaries. If we can't do a good job of poverty alleviation, we will be sorry for the people in poor areas, and we are sorry for the older generation of revolutionaries. Shortly after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I went to Fuping County, Hebei Province to inspect poverty alleviation work. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have traveled all over 14 concentrated and contiguous destitute areas, and I have been there every year and often, directly to poor households to see the real poverty and help the real poor, directly listen to the opinions of cadres and masses in poverty-stricken areas, and constantly improve poverty alleviation ideas. and poverty alleviation measures, continue to push forward the work, grasp it with emotion, and grasp it with the commitment to fulfill the purpose, and finally win the battle against poverty with the joint efforts of the whole party and the whole country. The masses in poverty-stricken areas are happy, and the older generation of revolutionaries Jiuquan will also feel comforted.
Persistence in proceeding from reality and seeking truth from facts is not only a matter of ideological methods, but also a matter of whether the party is strong or not. From the actual point of view of the current cadre team, insisting on seeking truth from facts most needs to be solved is the issue of party spirit. My father once said, "Our party is about party spirit, and I think seeking truth from facts is the greatest party spirit." In 1943, Yan'an began to examine the cadre movement. Under the circumstances of the Kuomintang reactionary forces infiltrating and sabotaging the revolutionary base areas, it was absolutely necessary to conduct a serious examination of the cadre ranks. It was Kang Sheng, who was specifically in charge of this work, who carried out the ultra-leftist method and practiced "forcing confessions", which caused serious deviations in the trial work and resulted in a large number of unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases. My father was the secretary of the Suide prefectural party committee at the time. He was very sad to learn that many students in Suide Normal School were forced to "false confession" under the pressure of corporal punishment. After in-depth investigation and research, he prudently proposed to distinguish between ideological issues and political stance issues to avoid "expansion" mistakes in the work of interrogation. Stop "extorting confessions" and correct "Left" mistakes. Under the circumstances, it was a political risk to do so, and my father was willing to take this risk because he thought he was loyal to the party and would not tell lies. Gu Wenchang, a good example of the county party secretary, is also a model of seeking truth from facts. Dongshan County was liberated in May 1950. Before the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, the Kuomintang grabbed strong men and recruited soldiers from Dongshan. There were only more than 10,000 households in Dongshan, and more than 4,700 young adults were arrested. "Family of the enemy and puppet". Gu Wenchang, then secretary of the working committee of the first district of Dongshan County, believed that the strong men were kidnapped by the Kuomintang and their family members were victims. He suggested that the "family members of the enemy and puppets" be changed to "family members of soldiers in disasters", which was later adopted by the superior. He suggested and decided to provide relief to these family members in terms of political non-discrimination, economic equal treatment, and living difficulties, and the lonely and widowed elderly should be taken care of by the village. In July 1953, more than 10,000 Kuomintang troops raided Dongshan, while our army guarding the island was only 1,000, with a huge disparity. The family members of the military disaster said: "The Kuomintang took our relatives, and the Communist Party raised us as relatives. Even if I were a ghost, I would still defend the island for the Communist Party!"
Whether a cadre seeks truth from facts can be viewed in many ways, but the most fundamental thing depends on whether he is telling the truth and telling the truth, whether he is doing practical things and seeking practical results. Those who see the wind and act tactfully, those who cover up contradictions and whitewash the peace, those who splurge on their legs and do nothing practical, those who are very happy and eager for quick success, are not real materialists, and they all have selfish thoughts at work. . Young cadres must adhere to the Party spirit in doing things, take telling the truth, doing honest things, and being an honest person as an important part of party spirit cultivation and exercise, dare to uphold the truth, be good at independent thinking, and insist on seeking truth and being pragmatic. This is beneficial to the cause of the party and the people, as well as to the healthy growth of individuals. To be honest is not to be stupid, and to be steadfast will not suffer. If you are not loyal to the party, and you are dishonest, you will have a mind to use tricks, and you will engage in speculative tricks such as building relationships, going for ways, and trading power and money.
Third, have the courage to take responsibility and be good at doing things. It is the responsibility and value of the cadre to be responsible. The party puts cadres in various positions to ask everyone to act as an official, not to be an official for pleasure. There is so much work to do in reform, development and stability. To do a good job, we must take responsibility. If you don’t take responsibility, don’t act, and don’t have the ability to execute or fight, you will lose the battle.
To be responsible, you must do your best and work hard, and you must never sit back and talk about the Tao or just talk without practicing. I have told many stories of scholars from the two Jin Dynasties talking about wasteful affairs, and Wang Yan is one of the representative figures. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Le, the leader of the Jie clan, attacked Luoyang. When Shi Le asked him the reason for the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, he excused himself in every possible way, saying that he had not participated in political affairs since he was young. Shi Le scolded him: You are named Gai Si Hai, you have a heavy responsibility, and you are young and strong. As for Bai Shou, how can you say that you did not participate in the government affairs of the court, "destroying the world is the crime of the king." Later, Wang Yan was killed by people sent by Shi Le. Before his death, Wang Yan lamented that if he did not pursue vainness, but worked hard, he would not have reached this point. In reality, there are many such rhetoric and untruthful people. For example, some are good at singing, but poor at doing their work, and their work is carried out on the slogan, and their determination remains in their mouths; some put on airs and make superficial essays, build momentum and deal with the situation perfunctorily; Once you make a move, if you don’t push it, you won’t do anything; some have orders that don’t work, some that don’t stop, and even deceive and deceive. Since the beginning of this year, some localities have encountered such and other problems in epidemic prevention and control, fighting against natural disasters, ecological protection, and safe production. One of the important reasons for verification is that some cadres are not pragmatic in their work style, work is not solid, and their responsibilities are not fulfilled.

Responsibility and action are one, inaction means no responsibility, and action requires responsibility. There are always risks in doing things. How can there be so many smooth and smooth things in the world. It is because there are risks that you need to take responsibility. If the work is so easy to do, and anyone can do it, what else is there to take on? Things are often like this. On the contrary, only by being brave, daring to dare, and determined to "know that there are tigers in the mountains, but prefer the tigers to the mountains" and act with real swords and guns, can contradictions and difficulties be resolved. When I was working in Fujian, in view of the fact that Fujian is a major forestry province, and the vast majority of forest farmers are living in poverty, in order to solve the system and mechanism problems such as unclear ownership of property rights, I promoted the implementation of the reform of the forest tenure system. At that time, this reform was risky, mainly because in the 1980s, indiscriminate deforestation occurred in some places, and the central government suspended work from mountain to household. More than 20 years later, everyone is not sure whether it can be divided into households. After repeated thinking, I believe that the forest tenure reform is related to the vital interests of the common people. If this problem is not solved, conflicts will break out one day. Reduced, as long as the policy is well formulated and the method is right, the risk is controllable. After making up our minds, we made in-depth research and repeated demonstrations on the four problems of "how to divide mountains", "how to cut down trees", "where does the money come from", and "how to deal with single households", and launched a targeted The first provincial forest reform document in the country was formed. In 2008, the Central No. 10 document comprehensively absorbed Fujian's forest reform experience. Do things with courage and take responsibility as an official. Anything that is beneficial to the party and the people, we must do it boldly and resolutely without evading it, without evading responsibility.
Doing business and pursuing reform will inevitably touch the existing interest pattern, move some people's cheese, and cause some controversy. To do things, to reform, to resolve conflicts, some disputes and even blame are inevitable. Throwing a stone into the water will cause ripples, let alone a career? Holding back for fear of controversy and not doing what should be done is not the attitude a Communist should have. Controversies from all quarters should be dealt with calmly and analyzed rationally. If you are convinced that what you have done is right, and practice has proved it to be right, you should not back down. Confusion, build consensus, and strive for understanding and support to the greatest extent possible. If the criticism of others is reasonable, we must accept it with an open mind and actively improve it, so as to make the work plan and policy measures more scientific and perfect. To do things, willpower, perseverance, and self-control are very important, and courage and strategy are very important. Many things have persisted and been accomplished, and the controversy will naturally disappear.
Fourth, adhere to principles and dare to fight. Adhering to principles is an important character of a Communist, and an important criterion for measuring whether a cadre is competent. Now, some cadres misunderstand "harmony is the most precious", they only talk about "tolerance" and "harmony", they are good old people, they are vague about political principles, they are "enlightened gentlemen" about major issues of right and wrong, and they allow bad phenomena to be tolerated. Being shrewd in all directions, having both sides, talking and acting in a head-to-head manner and the direction of the wind, drifting with the waves and falling with the wind, this runs counter to the principles of party spirit and must be resolutely corrected.
To the Communists, "Mr. Nice" is not really a nice guy. People who follow the doctrine of good humanity have no public will, only selfishness, no righteousness, only tacky, thinking that "adhering to the principle of right and wrong will cause more troubles, stability and stability will have more benefits, and you will have more friends." Since ancient times, people have sneered at such people. Confucius said: "The village wishes are the thieves of virtue." That is to say, those "good gentlemen" who do not discriminate between right and wrong and do not offend the village are actually people who destroy morality. Mencius thinks that such people "conform to common customs and contaminate the world". In "A Dream of Red Mansions", the sentence "I want to be cheap to myself, and I want to not offend others", depicts this kind of person in a penetrating manner. To pursue good humanism, there is a problem with the starting point, because the good is oneself, and the bad is the atmosphere and career. A large number of facts show that in some places and units, the righteousness and evil spirits are spreading, the work situation cannot be opened for a long time, and a lot of contradictions and problems have accumulated, which are inseparably related to the prevalence of good humanism.
Our party has always advocated unity, but unity is achieved through active and healthy ideological struggle, not unprincipled harmony. When Communists talk about party spirit and principles, they must talk about struggle. There must be no ambiguity or concessions on issues of principle, otherwise it would be irresponsible to the party and the people, or even a crime.
In the face of great right and wrong, principles must be discussed, and there are also issues of principle in the subsections of trivial matters. China is a society of personal feelings. Everyone lives in the society and has relatives, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, superiors, and subordinates. When advancing work and solving problems, they will always face the choice of principles and favors. Of course, it is best if principles and human feelings can be unified, but when the two cannot be unified, we must adhere to the principles without hesitation, and never compromise on human feelings. When Comrade Huang Kecheng served as the executive deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he proposed that he should "not be afraid of tearing his face" in order to grasp the style of the party. His old subordinates, who had been with him for many years, used public funds for banquets at the Jingxi Hotel, and he still handled it hard. At that time, the Minister of Commerce went to Fengzeyuan Restaurant for dinner and paid less. After he sent someone to check the situation, he not only informed the whole party, but also publicly disclosed it in the People's Daily. Party cadres must have the spirit of impartiality and unselfishness in handling affairs, and they should focus on principles and not face, and on the party's spirit without favoritism.
The struggle is always and everywhere. At present, the world is undergoing rapid changes unseen in a century, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. The risks and challenges we face have increased significantly. It is unrealistic to always want to live a peaceful life and do not want to fight. At all times, Communists must have the character, integrity, and courage not to believe in evil, not to be afraid of ghosts, and not to be stubborn.
Fifth, strictly abide by the rules and do not exceed the bottom line. I have repeatedly talked about this issue in my "mother-in-law's mouth". Today, I still have to knock on the wooden fish and recite the mantra. It is not easy for our party to train a cadre. If a cadre can't control himself and embark on the evil path of violating discipline and law, it will betray the party's training and trust. I feel very sad when I see some corrupt and depraved leading cadres. I hate that iron is not steel! Some time ago, I read a material that reflected that some young cadres "just set foot on the official career, and then go astray", and they fell into corruption as soon as they became the backbone of the unit or took up a leadership position. did not save. Everyone should take precautions and tighten the string of discipline and rules at all times.
To follow the rules and keep the bottom line, you must first have a sense of reverence. Only when the heart is afraid, can words and deeds be restrained. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has adhered to the principle of no forbidden area, full coverage, and zero tolerance for corruption. It's not that they don't know the rules of discipline, it's that they don't have a sense of reverence at all. Which of the things they committed is not expressly prohibited by the Party discipline and state law? What did you do without precedent? The ancients said: "If you are afraid, you will not dare to be arrogant and you will achieve your virtue. If you are fearless, you will do whatever you want." Some people have done so many appalling things, and an important reason is that they don't know how to fear! Cadres must know how to be revered, be vigilant, keep the bottom line, respect the party, the people, and the law and discipline. "The rhetoric has lost its direction, and it is not allowed to take risks in the fluke mentality of "seeking wealth, wealth and risk", and it cannot be reckless in the wrong understanding of "the law does not blame the public".
On June 25, 2019, Party and state leaders Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Wang Huning and others met with the commended representatives of the 9th National "People Satisfied Civil Servants" and "People Satisfied Civil Servants Collective" in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Xueren / photo
Strict self-cultivation, can be strict self-discipline. Only when a cadre has tightened the main switch of world outlook, outlook on life, and values, and improved his ideological awareness and spiritual realm, can he never dare to be corrupt to not want to be corrupt. Xue Xuan, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, believes that there are three states of honesty and self-preservation: those who see the truth and do not take it rashly are the top; those who are famous but not obediently take it are the next; those who are afraid of the law and Paul's position and dare not take it, are the bottom. We communists are for the sake of the Grand Duke, uphold the righteousness, and seek the greater self. We must be honest and respectful, always put the party and the people in the highest position in our hearts, and be a person who is single-minded, upright, and spotless. people. Yang Shanzhou, the excellent secretary of the prefectural party committee, is such a role model. In the 1970s and 1980s, many people in the countryside built tile houses with civil and wood structures, but his family still lived in thatched huts. Facing the leaking rain in the old house, he said to his family: "I have no money, you have to temporarily. After overcoming the difficulties, I bought a few pots to pick it up when it leaked.” In 1992, he built the first brick house in the Daliangshan Forest Farm, but gave it to a new technician, and he still lived in a linoleum shed. Once he went down to the village to live in a farmhouse. The family felt that the food was poor and they felt sorry for him. They secretly returned the two cents for the meal. In the eyes of some people, he is a "fool" who does not pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. He said, "Some people say I'm asking for trouble, but you don't know how happy I am." "If the Communists have occupational diseases, this disease is asking for trouble." This spirit of hard work and joy in suffering is timeless and needs to be carried forward forever. To be a cadre of the Communist Party, one must take personal reputation, status, and interests lightly and let it go, and can't do the trick of "being an official from a thousand miles, just for food and clothing", that will not be of much promise!
Sixth, study hard and practice hard to enhance skills. "You can't be big on the small, and you can't learn from the short." We are in an era of unprecedented change, and we are doing a great cause that has never been done before. If we don't have enough knowledge, vision, and ability, things will be delayed. Young cadres are full of energy, active thinking and strong receptive ability. They are in a good period of growing their skills and talents. They must cherish their time, live up to their youth, learn eagerly and keep improving.
Learning from books is an important way to enrich knowledge and increase talents. Comrade Mao Zedong said: "You can go without food for a day, sleep without sleep for a day, and you can't go without reading a book for a day." You run your company, I run mine, and we don't interfere with each other." We must carry forward the spirit of "squeezing" and "drilling", read more books, read good books, and draw wisdom and nutrition from books. Feeling good, disdain to study, can not excuse too busy work, relax study, not to decorate appearance, to cope with study. To study well, there is a question of what to study and how to study. A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to learn everything. Cadres must learn according to their work needs, learn what they do, and make up for what they lack. It is necessary to study Marxist theory, especially the party's innovation theory in the new era, study the history of the party, the history of new China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and study economics, politics, law, culture, society, management, ecology, international and other aspects Basic knowledge, learn new knowledge and skills related to doing well in one's own work, and constantly improve the knowledge system necessary for fulfilling duties.
Practice brings true knowledge, and practice grows true talent. The cause of the party and the state involves a wide range of fields, and leading cadres do not always work in the same position. Persisting in learning by doing and doing while learning is the only way for leading cadres to grow into talents. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the navy was established, and the Party Central Committee decided that Comrade Xiao Jinguang would be the commander of the navy. Comrade Xiao Jinguang has never been in contact with the navy, and he is still a "land-duck", but he learns by doing, so that our navy grows rapidly from scratch, and successfully completes the tasks assigned by the Party Central Committee. Many revolutionaries of the older generation who came from the war years have also grown into experts in the fields of economy, science and technology, and diplomacy in practice. "Learning is good for talent, and hard work is good for cutting edge." After some practical experience, a comrade said a word, the more you do, the better you can do it, the more you can do it, the more you can do it, and the more you do it, the more you want to do it. Of course, the same is practice, whether it is really attentive, whether it is good at summarizing and thinking, the size of the gains and the speed of improvement are different. If you are busy, just do things mechanically, and fall into transactionalism, it is difficult to improve your awareness and work level.
The points I have emphasized above are all issues that young cadres need to solve for healthy growth. We are born in a great era and are a new force for the development of the party and the country. I hope that everyone can practice their internal strength, improve their self-cultivation, and enhance their skills. Talents, work hard to achieve the second centenary goal, and live up to the expectations and trust of the party and the people!
This is the main part of General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National School of Administration) in the fall semester of 2021 on September 1, 2021.
