【Spiritual Genealogy of Chinese Communists】
Guangming Daily reporter Du Yu Fang Li
The sun is scorching, farmers are working in the fields, beads of sweat are smashed on the soil, and seedlings produce heavy grain; it is cold, the takeaway brother rides a battery car through the streets and alleys, the helmet is stained with white frost, the food in the incubator is still steaming; in winter and spring, the teacher always stands on the three-foot podium and accompanies the children to grow up; the flowers bloom and fall, and the scientific and technological workers have been staying in the laboratory to verify one after another whimsical ideas... Day after day, year after year, on the land of China, thousands of laborers are cultivating, creating, watering the fruits of labor with sweat and hard work, and realizing the value of life.
Marx likened labor to the "sun" around which the whole society revolved, and regarded labor as the only source of value creation. With a pair of industrious hands, the ancestors of mankind polished a few cold stones, set off a hot fire, bid farewell to Ru Mao and drank blood, and stepped into a new life. With a pair of industrious hands, the ancestors of the Chinese nation "used shuojin as a blade, condensed earth as a tool, made a car to travel, and made a boat to travel water", and opened a splendid Chinese civilization with sweat and wisdom. With a pair of industrious hands, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have relied on themselves, worked hard to be angry, emancipated their minds, forged ahead, made great achievements in revolution, construction, and reform, built a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and jointly created a happy life.
On November 24, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the National Commendation Conference for Model Workers and Advanced Workers that in long-term practice, we have cultivated and formed a "labor spirit of advocating labor, loving labor, hard work, and honest labor", and the spirit of labor model, labor spirit, and craftsman spirit "are a powerful spiritual driving force to encourage the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to move forward bravely and bravely".
The Chinese nation is a nation that is diligent in labor and good at creation. It is precisely because of the creation of labor that we have the glory of history; it is precisely because of the creation of labor that we have today's achievements. Today, as we embark on a new journey, we still need to vigorously carry forward the spirit of labor, continue to struggle, move forward bravely, and make unremitting efforts to achieve the second centenary goal.

Advocating labor
Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has been a nation that advocates labor. From the cultivation of "morning rejuvenation is absurd, with the moon lotus hoe returning", to the weaving of "the girl cuts the mandarin duck brocade, will flow to the middle of the sunset", and then to the brewing of "June Tune Divine Comedy, is facing the Jimei Spring"... Throughout the ages, the praises of labor have continued endlessly.
"Youth passionately paint ideals, climb the peak of science to win glory for the motherland." The machine roared with motors, and the clouds were woven into a splendid embroidery. On the eve of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, in the literary and artistic performance "The Great Journey" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, an opera performance vividly reproduced the scene of the new Chinese laborers ascending to the stage of history with great vigor, which made the audience unforgettable for a long time. The glory, nobility, greatness and beauty of labor are condensed in the lyrics and also reside in people's hearts.
Labor is the most glorious, labor is the most noble, labor is the greatest, labor is the most beautiful. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people have become more and more labor-minded.
Because we advocate labor, we have the heroism of "we workers have strength", the courage of "the sky is not afraid, the wind, snow, thunder and lightning are at its disposal", the confidence of "shaking the oar to hold the steering wheel, and winning the harvest year with both hands", and the self-confidence of "people live under the bright sunshine and live in people's labor".
Labor creates wealth and also strengthens the spirit. In the world of people, only by not trying to be comfortable, not afraid of hardships, climbing over high mountains, wading through torrents, fighting hard, and dedicating, can we feel the joy and fullness of "thousands of tao, although it is hard, blowing out the wild sand to gold", and can we appreciate the freedom and dignity of being born as a human being.
"No matter how the conditions of the times change, we must always advocate labor and respect workers," General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out.
Because we advocate labor, we are full of respect for every worker. When the elderly Yuan Longping once again walked into the rice field to check the rice growth; when Zhong Nanshan squeezed into the train dining car and rushed to the front line of the fight against the epidemic in Wuhan; when Zhang Dingyu dragged his shrinking legs and ran in the ward; when Zhang Guimei stretched out her plastered hands to encourage her students... Who hasn't been moved?
Labor creates wealth, and the persistence and love embodied by laborers in labor is an unparalleled wealth. They make us believe that there are dreams, opportunities, struggles, and all good things can be created.

Love to work
At the History Exhibition Hall of the Communist Party of China, many visitors stopped in front of a group of sculptures entitled "Eighteen Red Handprints." The 18 peasants in the sculpture, some crouching and thinking, some standing and talking, some rolling up their sleeves, solemnly pressing their handprints on the land contract responsibility book.
This is the Xiaogang Village in Fengyang, Anhui Province in the winter of 1978, when 18 farmers pressed their handprints in turn, and the miracle of reform and opening up began. Why do these farmers dare to try and be the first? Because in their hearts, they have a passion for labor; because they believe that hard work will be able to exchange for a happy life.
Labor creates the future, and strives to achieve dreams. No matter what industry you are in, as long as you pay enough hard work and wisdom, do a line, love a line, drill a line, you can achieve extraordinary results in ordinary posts.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has such expectations: "In the factory workshop, we must carry forward the 'craftsman spirit', carefully polish every part, and produce high-quality products." In the field, it is necessary to cultivate carefully and strive to win a good harvest. In the shopping mall store, it is necessary to welcome the world's customers with a smile, tong sou is not deceived, and provide quality service. "When you become a teacher, you must have no distractions, be willing to guard the three-foot podium, 'spring silkworm to the end of the dead silk, wax torch into gray tears and start drying'. To do research, you must be willing to be lonely, or poor, or rooted in the laboratory, 'the bench must sit cold for ten years, and the article does not write a sentence empty'. To engage in creation, we must adhere to the people-centered creative thinking, go deep into practice, go deep among the masses, and go deep into life, and strive to create fine works that the masses of the people love. ”
In order to master welding technology, Gao Fenglin practiced with chopsticks, practiced with water cups, held iron blocks, and finally practiced the skill of welding the "heart" for rocket welding; in the rehearsal hall of the Beijing People's Art Theater, the four big characters of "drama is bigger than the sky" were hung high, cultivating generations of actors' respect and love for the cause, and rehearsing a classic drama... Their respect and adherence to their profession stem from their respect and love for labor.
Today, the seeds of love of labor have been sown in the hearts of children. In March 2020, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Colleges, Schools, and Primary Schools in the New Era", and in July of that year, the Ministry of Education issued the "Guiding Outline for Labor Education in Colleges, Schools, and Primary Schools (Trial)", which made specific requirements on what, how to teach, and how to evaluate labor education, so that students can love labor and love the working people in the process of labor education.
Love labor, love creation, sow hope and harvest fruits through labor and creation, and also temper the will and improve oneself through labor and creation. Under the leadership of the party, generations of high-quality laborers who are diligent and good at labor have emerged one after another, and the songs of the workers in the new era who are heroic and exciting and sonorous and powerful resound in the sky.
Hard work
On the morning of August 19, yiwu west railway station, a train with big red flowers, honking its horn, set off for the port of Rostock, Germany. This is the 3,000th train accumulated on the Yiwu platform of the China-Europe (Yixin-Europe) train.
Forty or fifty years ago, this small and medium-sized county in Zhejiang was not rich, and Yiwu people took rattles to walk the streets and alleys, exchange chicken feathers for sugar, and worked hard to start a business. Later, the conditions were slightly better, Yiwu people set up small stalls on the side of the road, although the business premises were relatively fixed, but still simple; later, Yiwu built the country's largest small commodity wholesale market, and entered the overseas market, known as "the world's small commodity capital". Some foreign media joked that "the real hometown of Christmas is actually Yiwu". Because this peculiar Chinese city "is the main source of festive ornaments around the world".
The secret of Yiwu's development is hard work. The source of China's miracle is also hard work.
Meritorious service, extensive and diligent. The completion of the Three Gorges Project, the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the diversion of water from the south to the north, the transmission of gas from the west to the east, the flying of "Chang'e" and the diving of "Jiaolong"... Behind every "Chinese miracle" is the hard work of many laborers over the years. The people's livelihood is diligent, and the diligence is not poor. Farmers exchange the hard work of the four seasons for the joy of harvest in autumn; the workers use their hard work day after day to produce high-quality and low-quality products; and the teachers use years and years of hard teaching to obtain fruitful fruits in the world.
In today's China, the connotation of labor is constantly enriched, the initiative and creativity of workers are becoming more and more prominent, and knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative workers have become the requirements of the times, but hard work is still indispensable. Whether it is intellectuals, workers or peasants, they need to have the courage and mind of self-innovation, constantly strive to learn new knowledge, break the existing mode of thinking and labor habits, use new technologies and new ideas to transform labor tools and labor methods, improve labor efficiency, and sublimate labor value. This means that many workers are freed from procedural, repetitive work and can devote more energy to innovation and creativity. This also means that society needs to provide a more relaxed innovation environment, a more perfect distribution system, and a smoother promotion channel, to ensure fair rights, fair opportunities, and fair rules from the institutional level, to effectively protect the rights and interests of workers, and to make hard work get its due rewards.
On April 14, the "2020 Annual Report on the Transformation of China's Scientific and Technological Achievements (Colleges and Universities and Scientific Research Institutes)" was released, and the contract amount of scientific and technological achievements of the Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was 1.717 billion yuan, ranking first. Such achievements are inseparable from an important reform - 6 years ago, as the first batch of pilot units in the country, the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the reform of the right to use scientific and technological achievements, the right to benefit and the right to dispose of scientific and technological achievements, and comprehensively and deeply promoted the implementation of institutional mechanisms, evaluation methods, resource allocation, incentive mechanisms and other reform measures. The scientific research results sleeping in the laboratory are awakened, and the researchers have a full sense of gain and happiness!
"It is necessary to create an environment of respect for labor, knowledge, talent, and creation in the whole society, form a trend of advocating science, and let more young people have scientific dreams and establish innovative aspirations." At this year's meeting of academicians of the two academies, General Secretary Xi Jinping's words were loud and clear.
The sense of gain and happiness undoubtedly makes the word "labor" more attractive and makes hard work more valuable. The sense of gain and happiness of workers will eventually be transformed into a new powerful driving force for economic and social development, and the Communist Party of China will surely lead the Chinese people to create a new "Chinese miracle".
Honest labor
In front of the Tongrentang Pharmacy, which is all over the streets and alleys, there is a pair of ancient lians: "Although the concoction is complicated, it does not dare to save labor, and although the taste is expensive, it does not dare to reduce material resources." "This is both a commitment to consumers and the secret of the long-established brand's 300-year-old standing.
Man has no faith and no standing, and karma has no faith and no prosperity.
Labor is an individual practice as well as a social act. Only when each worker harvests wealth through honest labor can the basic order of society be maintained. Cutting corners, making and selling fakes, plagiarizing pirated copies, scientific research fraud and other untrustworthy behaviors, through the improper means of concealment and deception may be exchanged for temporary private interests, but in the end the whole society must pay for the lack of integrity, no one is the beneficiary - the user of gutter oil may be the victim of poisoned milk powder, the manufacturer of poisoned milk powder may one day buy "cottage goods", and the producers of "cottage goods" may one day also have to deal with "Lao Lai"...
General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "The beautiful dreams of the world can only be realized through honest labor; all kinds of problems in development can only be solved through honest labor; all the glory in life can only be cast through honest labor." "We must vigorously carry forward the spirit of labor in the whole society, advocate the realization of life's dreams and change our own destiny through honest labor, and oppose all the ideas of unearned gain, opportunism, and greed for pleasure."
Fan Yushu, the former project manager and deputy chief engineer of Tianjin Sanjian Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., has been working in construction for decades and has always demanded "four sames" for himself: one big thing and one small thing, one sample of exposed engineering and hidden engineering, one kind of internal affairs and one kind of external affairs, and One party A has requirements and no requirements. He often said: "We construction workers talk about integrity, the most fundamental thing is to ensure the quality of the project." "Honest and honest, strong and solid building" He has won the title of "National Model Worker" many times and is known as "a builder trusted by the masses".
In 1997, wheat seeds on the market were sold at a high price of 80 yuan per kilogram. At that time, Liang Zengji, a researcher at the Agricultural Technology Extension Center of Changwu County, Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, cultivated a comprehensive excellent, high-yielding and high-quality wheat variety "Changwu 134". Liang Zengji not only did not take the opportunity to sell seeds at high prices, but instead packed the seeds he cultivated into small bags of two or two, which were scattered to farmers and allowed to breed and promote themselves. Liang Zengji, who has a "grain heart" for the people, through his honest labor, cultivates a nail in the field and constantly pushes the level of wheat cultivation in arid areas to a new level, which is widely respected.
Honest labor is necessary to work honestly where others can see, and honest labor is also necessary to work honestly where others cannot see; honest labor is needed to do business, honesty is needed in competitive sports, and honest labor is also needed in scientific research and literary and artistic creation... We advocate labor and respect labor, so we must honestly pay labor and engage in labor. Taking sincerity as the first, sincerity as the most important, and sincerity as the beauty is the meaning of labor.
In today's China, the labor spirit of advocating labor, loving labor, hard work, and honest labor has become an important part of the national spirit and the spirit of the times, and has become one of the important contents of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists.
These precious spiritual treasures are the banner and the beacon that guide the footsteps of thousands of laborers who are only fighting for the day. When the wisdom of thousands of laborers was sown to the land of China, the seeds of thousands of dreams were sown. When the sweat of thousands of laborers is dripped in the land of China, the dreams of thousands of people will surely grow strongly!
