Recently, Li Changchun, former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, published a new book, "The Song of Endeavor in the Central Plains", which was published by the People's Publishing House and the Henan People's Publishing House.
The book contains a total of 217 important manuscripts and 159 photographs of Li Changchun during his work in Henan from July 1990 to February 1998, most of which were published for the first time. The book is divided into two volumes, totaling more than 760,000 words.
The relevant person in charge of the People's Publishing House revealed to "Political Affairs" (WeChat ID: gcxxjgzh) that the editing process of the book lasted nearly 3 years, and there were 8 adjustments to the manuscript before and after editing to publication, and all articles were reviewed and approved by Li Changchun himself.
All three books are related to career experience
Pictured: On August 31, 1992, Li Changchun, then secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, was interviewed by a reporter from Zhengzhou University Television station at the groundbreaking ceremony of Zhengzhou University's engineering department.
"Zheng Shi'er" (WeChat ID: gcxxjgzh) noted that since leaving office, Li Changchun has published "The Road to Cultural Power" in 2013 and "Liaoshen Land Reform Tide" in 2014. These two works include Li Changchun's manuscripts on cultural reform and development from December 2002 to May 2013, and his work in Liaoning Province from 1983 to 1990.
These books are all related to Li Changchun's tenure. Before joining the Politburo, he served as a major leader in Liaoning, Henan, Guangdong and other places.
How did Li Changchun get involved in the editing of the book? The relevant person in charge of the People's Publishing House revealed to "Political Affairs" that during the publication of the book, Li Changchun personally went to Henan to solicit suggestions on revising the manuscript for about a week.
Huang Shuyuan, president of the People's Publishing House, said in an interview with the media that Li Changchun attaches great importance to the book, and a lot of work is done by himself, and he also made a special trip to Henan to solicit opinions on revising the manuscript from his old colleagues and friends who have worked together, and personally led the manuscript team and relevant personnel of the publishing house to Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Sanmenxia and other places where he has worked.
Huang Shuyuan said that Li Changchun put forward three basic requirements for the manuscript editing team: First, respect history and seek truth from facts. The manuscript of that year shall be presented in its original form, and shall not be cut or changed except for corrections and corrections or redrafting of the title. Second, the content is comprehensive and highlights the key points. Third, the trade-offs are measured and readable.
According to Huang Shuyuan's account, each edition of the sample book, from the title modification and summary summary, to the revision of personal names and geographical names, the correction of numbers, and the addition of annotations, Li Changchun personally directly revised or instructed the manuscript team to improve. For example, in the article "Welcome to Open Henan" in the book, Henan has a total area of 167,000 square kilometers. On the sample book, it may be an entry error, printed as "161,000". This omission was not discovered at the time of editing, but was found by Comrade Changchun during review and directly revised on the sample book.
"I was elected as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, which was unexpected"
"Zheng Shi'er" (WeChat ID: gcxxjgzh) noted that three of the letters written by Li Changchun in the book were written in September 1997.
Who were the three letters written in the same month of the year to whom and what were written?
According to the manuscript, on September 2, 20, and 23, 1997, Li Changchun replied to Li Wen and Chen Yong, Gao Tie, Li Runtian and Zhang Yimu, respectively.
It is worth mentioning that in 1997, Li Changchun was elected as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee and concurrently served as the secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee.
"Zheng Shi'er" (WeChat ID: gcxxjgzh) found that Li Wen and Chen Yong were husband and wife, both of whom had served at the Hebei Academy of Sciences. During Li Changchun's studies at Harbin Institute of Technology, Gao Tie served as vice president of Harbin Institute of Technology. Li Runwen was the president of Henan University and vice chairman of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Zhang Yimu was the secretary general of the Henan University Committee of the China Democratic League.
In a letter to Li Wen and Chen Yong, Li Changchun gave a brief summary of his work in Henan. "In a flash, it has been 8 years since I came to Henan (the 8th summer has just passed, and I came to Henan in June 1990), and it is indeed a thorn in the thorns, bittersweet and bittersweet. It is really not easy to unite everyone, adjust their ideological concepts, and do something. ”
He also wrote, "Whether in Liaoning or Henan, you two elders have given me great care and support, sent me medicine, and cared for my body." I take all of this to heart. ”
In the other two letters, Li Changchun made a brief evaluation of his election to the Politburo. In a letter to the old principal, Gao Tie, he wrote, "At this meeting, I was honorably elected as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, which was beyond my expectations. This is not only a high degree of trust and affirmation for me personally, but also an affirmation of the work of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and party organizations at all levels in the past few years, and is the result of the efforts of the communist party members and the people of the whole province. ”
In a letter to Li Runtian and Zhang Yimu, Li Changchun wrote: "The appointment of me by the central authorities is not only an affirmation of my personal attention and affirmation, but also an affirmation of the achievements made by our provincial party committee, the party organizations at all levels in the province, and the people of the whole province in reform, opening up, and modernization. I have only fulfilled a little of my due responsibility, and many things have not yet been done well, and there are still many shortcomings and deficiencies in myself, especially my country is a big country, the Communist Party of China is a big party, and there are many talents. Therefore, while receiving your congratulations, we should see the responsibility and pressure, strive to improve ourselves, and adapt to the trust given by the party and the people. “
Li Changchun also wrote, "I grew up in the families of ordinary people, and I am well aware of the wishes and demands of the broad masses of the people, and I am well aware of the difficulties of the grass-roots masses in handling affairs under the interference of unhealthy tendencies in some localities and units. Now that the burden that the party and the people have placed on themselves is heavier, it is all the more necessary to always bear in mind that the power in their hands is given by the people, that they can only do things for the people, seek benefits for the people, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the masses of the people, and serve the people wholeheartedly and do not seek private interests. Please also supervise. ”
Wonderful Book Excerpt: On the "59-Year-Old Phenomenon" of a Small Number of Party Members and Cadres
Talking about the "59-year-old phenomenon"
In the process of transforming the planned economic system into a socialist market economic system, there are still some loopholes and weak links, which give corrupt elements an opportunity to take advantage of. In some localities and cadres, good-manism prevails, for fear of offending people, of losing votes, of not administering the party strictly, and of relaxing the strict requirements, strict management, and strict supervision of party members and cadres.
A small number of party members and cadres have relaxed their ideological transformation, and in the process of transforming the two systems, their values have been distorted and deviated from the principles of party spirit that they once adhered to in the past, such as the emergence of the "59-year-old phenomenon" and the fishing before retiring. This has caused the masses to remain dissatisfied with the anti-corruption work.
——"Strengthening the Building of Party Style and Honest Government, And Being a Model of Honesty and Self-Discipline" (Speech by Comrade Li Changchun at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Sixth Session of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Henan Province on February 8, 1998)
Talk about the three high-pressure lines of leading cadres
At present, the unhealthy trend of sending money and gifts is very strong, and as the number one party and government leaders in the city, localities, departments, and bureaus, we must resist no matter what, and we must seriously criticize those who send money. In the past, Comrade Yaobang said that the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water. We still have to communicate according to the rules of the Communist Party, and we will never allow the practice of decadence and vulgarity. Today is embarrassed to refuse, that is, to dig a "grave" for tomorrow.
Under the conditions of market economy and reform and opening up, leading cadres at all levels must guard three high-pressure lines: They must not take the wrong road politically, they must not make mistakes in economics, and they must not go to the wrong bed in their daily lives.
——"Leading Cadres Should Take the Lead in Self-Discipline" (Speech by Comrade Li Changchun at the Forum of Secretaries of Prefectural Committees of Henan Province and Municipality on February 18, 1997)
Talk about the unity of the leadership team
At present, the leading bodies at all levels are generally united and combat effective. Most of the party and government leaders, between the principal and deputy posts, and among the members of the leading body stress party spirit, take into account the overall situation, respect each other, support each other, understand each other, work together in the same boat, and seek great things and seek development, thus bringing about and strengthening the unity of the vast number of party members and cadres.
However, the phenomenon of disunity still exists, and there are generally three types: First, the appearance of god and separation. Some units are outwardly harmonious, but in fact they do not trust each other, are wary of each other, are suspicious of each other, do not communicate with each other ideologically, have feelings of kindness and resentment, are passive in their work cooperation, and even prevaricate. The second is the secret demolition type. There are a small number of people who regard comrades as opponents, one set in front of their faces and one set behind their backs, do not think about things, concentrate on thinking about people, privately publicize the shortcomings of others, even spread rumors and slanders, deliberately restrict their work, set up obstacles, and grasp braids. The third is the open confrontation type. Individual units have made contradictions public, disregarded their work, fought with each other, attacked in person, directly opposed each other, I denied what you approved, I supported what you opposed, and even drew small circles, pulled together gangs and factions, and "fought in the fortress without stopping."
