Loyalty is the essence and core of the political character of communists
——Self-questioning and party spirit message on the 34-year-old party birthday
General Secretary Xi Jinping has stressed many times: "Loyalty is the essence and core of the political quality of communists, and if you join the party, you must follow the party wholeheartedly for the rest of your life", and loyalty to the party is the primary political quality of communists. "To be loyal to the party, we must be single-minded, consistent, consistent in appearance, unified in knowledge and action, and never change their hearts, unswerving, or ruin their morality at any time or under any circumstances" (Xi Jinping delivers an important speech at the opening ceremony of the training course for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration), March 1, 2021); "Party members and cadres can only have a noble and fulfilling life if they have the world in mind, have lofty aspirations, never forget their original mission, integrate their ideals of life into the cause of the party and the people, and regard the struggle for the people's happiness as their greatest happiness" (Xi Jinping, "Striving to grow into a pillar of loyalty and reliability to the party and the people, worthy of the important tasks of the times", Qiushi, No. 13, 2023).
On July 1, 1989, as the president of the student union and a member of the presidium of the provincial school congress, he became a member of the Communist Party of China with honor after experiencing the trials of "August Nine". The age of 54, 34 years of party experience, and 13 administrative and business posts have been tempered and tested, or they have been praised or questioned, and they may be smooth or twists and turns, but "not changing their hearts, their aspirations, and not destroying their morality at any time and under any circumstances" has become the pursuit of party spirit that "does not change, does not move, and does not destroy", and "regards the struggle for the people's happiness as their greatest happiness" as a "noble and fulfilling" pursuit of life, and constantly asks themselves with Marxist interdisciplinary scholars of labor relations: What kind of unity should be achieved between passionate rationality and ideal reality? What kind of communion should the people achieve for the feelings of heaven and family and country? Loyal and profound, what kind of dialectic should be achieved? What kind of integration should be achieved in building the spirit of development and struggle?
First, what kind of unity should be achieved between passionate rationality and ideal reality?
Haidai Qingzhou, one of the ancient nine prefectures, was the capital of the prefecture for 805 years from the Jin Dynasty (311), Northern Wei, Sui, Tang to Song Dynasty before the Song Dynasty moved to Jinan Prefecture in the sixth year (1116). Born in the "Tax Department" alley with deep economic heritage, adjacent to the "Return Hall" of Li Qingzhao, the first talented woman in the ages, who has lived for 20 years, the ancient lyricist of "The Change of Western Soldiers" left Qingqing and went south, from the "Changji Xiting twilight, drunk and do not know the way back" to the "born as a master, death is also a ghost" iron bone faction transformed into an iron bone. Adjacent to Fan Zhongyan's "Fan Gongting" who knew Qingzhou with Hubu Shilang, he was infected with "Weisi people, who are happy and happy after the world". In particular, in the First Opium War Zhenjiang Campaign, 400 Qingzhou garrison flag soldiers, fighting bloody battles with the British army, dying together, and the wisdom of street battles, forged the strong patriotic spirit of Qingzhou people, Engels spoke highly in the article "The British New Expedition to China": "These garrison flag soldiers have only 1,500 people in total, but they fought to the death until the last man... If these invaders met with the same resistance everywhere, they would never have reached Nanjing" (The Complete Works of Marx and Engels, vol. XII, People's Publishing House, 1962 edition, p. 190).
It is precisely the "death as a ghost hero" represented by Li Qingzhao, the "worry about the world" represented by Fan Zhongyan, the heroism of the 400 Qingzhou flag soldiers who "died together", and the wisdom of "launching street battles" that forged the heroic spirit of Qingzhou people, and also forged the passion and poetry of their own heroic spirit. In the 80s of the 20th century, the "Obscure Poetry School" represented by Beidao, Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, etc. inherited the modernist or postmodernist tradition and opened up a new frontier of "strong thirst for a bright world". Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree" "You have your copper branches and iron trunks, like a knife, like a sword, and like a halberd; I have my red flowers, like a heavy sigh, and like a heroic torch", expressed by the independent heroism, which is in line with the cultural heritage of Qingzhou. The ideal mood expressed in Kitajima "Red Sailboat" "You have long flowing hair, I have arms, straight up" has become the pursuit of bright eyes ahead, so the journal "Red Sailboat" was established. Culture is the soul of a country and a nation, with culture people will condense the heart, literary journals can often become an important carrier of "nourishing the national soul, cultivating cultural self-confidence", the strong influence of "Red Sailboat" actually made himself directly elected by the Minister of Life and Welfare as the president of the student union, and then elected as a member of the presidium of the sixth Shandong Provincial Student Congress.
Behind the idealistic pursuit of passion and poetry, perhaps the fiscal and taxation precision of the "tax department" that presents the economic prosperity of the Tang and Song Dynasties, as well as the national strength and people's livelihood, and the realistic pursuit of rationality and people's livelihood. The 70s and 80s of the 20th century was a real era of "glorious labor", parents and state-owned enterprises, the family was quite solid, but the childhood years: the scorching sun, integrated into the peasants to pick up the ears of wheat to experience that "the grains are hard"; Urban construction, walking into the river beach, moving back to pebbles and crushing stones to experience the "glorious harvest value of labor"; Every summer vacation, China's winter warm vegetable greenhouse is full of harvest, and I feel that "hard work and wisdom transform the world". Passionate poetic idealism is always accompanied by rational realism. June 1989 was a time worth thinking about for many years, as the president of the student union, he personally experienced "thousands of teachers and students from the beginning of impassionedness to the original intention of kindness that could not be controlled later", and experienced the test of "passion, rationality and ideal reality unity" for the first time. On July 1, 1989, on the occasion of the party's birthday, the 20-year-old self became a glorious reserve member of the Communist Party of China, and the "impassioned" passionate ideal endowed by Qingzhou culture was unified with the rational reality of "family and national livelihood", accompanied by the original intention of the party spirit and the path of life.
Second, what kind of integration should be achieved for the people of heaven and family and country?
To crack down on crimes in the economic field, intellectuals who "make missiles are better than selling tea and eggs" are treated too low. At the same time, the return of college graduates to work in the county has also become the basic direction. He was assigned to the office of the Qingzhou Municipal Education Commission, serving as the secretary of the administrative clerical and party committees, and the administrative affairs and copywriting went hand in hand, facing 24 township education commissions and 14 municipal schools. The 67,000-word leader's speech was formed in two days, and the provincial information reporting year ranked first in the city, and at the same time won the advanced worker of government affairs information in Shandong Province and the excellent propaganda information officer of Shandong Province. Covering the renovation of rural school buildings, riding a bicycle on uneven dirt roads, I deeply felt the weakness of education in rural areas, especially in mountainous areas. When two years later, the best rural architecture was the school, the red flag flying high was planted on the neat and standard playground, and "no matter how poor you are, you can't educate poorly, no matter how hard you can't miserate children", it has become the first responsibility and the first achievement of the local government, and it has also become the firm pursuit of a Communist Party member in the education system to "education first" and "the people for the sky".
After more than two years of administrative writing practice of "front foot to back foot", the principal of the high school alma mater across the road repeatedly fought for the education commission, returned to his alma mater experimental high school at the age of 22 to serve as the secretary of the Youth League Committee, and then the director of the political and education office, the chairman of the trade union, and the vice principal, all physically and mentally crawled into the management of high school students and ideological and political education. At the age of 26, he became the youngest section-level cadre in the city, and he understood the high expectations placed on students by the teachers of his alma mater, which needed to be carried by the fact that loyalty is the essence and core of the political character of communists. "Building the foundation for students' lives" has become the most distinctive educational orientation, and has become the first in the college entrance examination of key colleges and universities in Weifang City; "Finding everyone's brilliance" has become the most prominent educational goal, and many students with weak cultural foundation and outstanding personality potential have moved towards 985; "Caring for students' health, safety and happy growth" has become the most urgent educational responsibility, and it is the courage of Qingzhou people to lead teachers to confront and extort social bullying every night until they are eliminated, and it is also the true loyalty of communists. From 1997 to 1998, he concurrently served as the person in charge of the Qingzhou Urban School Reform Office, and after the countermeasure and suggestion of "grasping the big and letting go of the small" was adopted by the municipal government, excellent enterprises paid in full or even overpaid, and difficult employees of difficult enterprises were exempted from taxation, so as to avoid the inability of difficult employees to pay and cause the overall arrears of payment, which nearly doubled the amount of collection, while presenting the unity of party spirit and flexibility of "the people are the sky".
Based on the basic perspective of the chairman of the education trade union, the understanding of the reform of state-owned enterprises in the 90s of the 20th century is still in a state of ignorance, but in the later stage, efforts are made to ensure that "zero employment families" achieve one-person employment, and feel the social impact of state-owned enterprise reform. Known as "the atmosphere can take care of things", eight years of student management zero accidents were broken, "zero employment family" students jumped from the third floor because of the difficulty of improving academic performance and changing the fate of the family, but fortunately the sand downstairs only rubbed the skin. However, with the responsibility of the party spirit of "the people as the sky" and "the feelings of the family and the country", we began to engage in the most cutting-edge research on labor relations issues from practice. 2002 is a special year, with the first place in the Weifang City and County Cadre Examination Reserve Cadres to study in the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee Party School Party and Government Cadre Research Class, and began the academic life journey. After 13 years of basic education, I grew up with the almost rolled 4 volumes of the "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", and many thorny educational problems that arise every day can be solved from the infinite wisdom of "Mao Xuan". Walking into the library of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, lingering in the 50 volumes of the Complete Works of Marx and Engels, he was in a state of hunger and obsession. After graduating two years later, only reading more than 10 volumes, returning to the grassroots level to restart an administrative life? Or do you keep the party school to really start the life of a scholar? He stood firmly at the beginning of the life of a true Marxist scholar. This is because the integration of "the people for heaven" and "the feelings of the family and the country" requires comprehensive, profound and systematic guidance from Marxist theory.
Third, loyalty and sharpness, what kind of dialectic should be achieved?
Transferred to the copper wall and iron wall, unshakable Marxist theoretical research, into the busy and tense scientific research management planning and administrative work, under the leadership of the university leaders to create the commanding heights of the party school's scientific research phases, for the "national spiritual civilization unit" to lay a solid foundation for scientific research achievements, in the interweaving of "near the water platform" and "making wedding clothes for others", scientific research achievements were almost three years ago, and in the second year of employment, with "Research on Building Socialist Harmonious Labor Relations" to obtain the national social science that scholars must dream of. With an important breakthrough in labor relations, he has become a "young and middle-aged expert with outstanding contributions in Shandong Province", a "talented person in the party school of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee", and an "excellent scientific research and management worker in the national party school system". Labor relations are not only the vane of social harmony, not only the maintenance of workers' economic interests, but also related to the health and safety and even the lives of workers. In his academic life, he rarely mentions the work-related accidents that personally experienced 38 lives, and it became a conscience torture whether to fulfill the "loyal responsibility" of the communists. On June 21, the Yinchuan gas explosion accident in Ningxia killed 31 people, and on July 1, Jiangxi Qiantai New Materials exploded, constantly ringing the loyal responsibility of "life is greater than heaven". At the age of 17, Marx wrote "Considerations of Youth in Choosing Occupations": "If we choose the profession that best serves the welfare of mankind, then the burden cannot overwhelm us, because it is for the sake of all; At that time, what we feel will not be pitiful, limited, selfish pleasure, but our happiness will belong to millions of people" (The Complete Works of Marx and Engels, vol. 40, People's Publishing House, 1982 edition, p. 7), firmly pursuing a lifelong career driven by the study and practice of labor issues with Marxist theory. Chinese Man University's School of Labor and Personnel for four years of doctoral study, "majestic pagoda mountain, the cradle of our growth; Rolling rivers, the starting point of our trek "red continuation, blood inheritance, firm every adult" mountains and rivers bright moon engraved, the original intention is like a rock; National rejuvenation, we move forward courageously" "Please rest assured by the party" is loyal and responsible. At the same time, labor relations, as one of the first interdisciplinary disciplines of the Ministry of Education, has shaped sharp and profound academic characteristics.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Marxism is the 'true scripture' of our communists, and if we do not read the 'true scripture' well, we always think that 'learning the scriptures from the western heavens' will delay major things!" Without understanding and familiarizing oneself with the basic principles of Marxism, it is impossible to truly understand and master the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics" (Xi Jinping's Speech at the National Party School Work Conference, Xinhuanet, December 11, 2015). In the process of reform and opening up, in the process of learning from the western sky, some people went astray to take back neoliberalism oriented by "anti-Marxism and anti-socialism", and even once became very popular, seriously hindering and inducing deviation from the socialist direction. From the interdisciplinary perspectives of Marxist labor relations, "The Party's Theory Comes from the People, For the People, and Benefits the People", "Criticism and Transcendence of the Limitations of the Capitalist Market Economy", "Unswervingly Consolidating and Developing the Public Ownership Economy", "The Dialectical Unity of "Promising Government" and "Effective Market", "Seeing Through the Neoliberal Evil of the "Top Cliff" Gap between the Rich and the Poor", "There Are Many Challenges in the Ideological Field", "Neoliberalism Flood: The Fundamental Crux of College Students' Employment Difficulties", "A Sharp Confrontation between Marxism and Neoliberalism", "The Concept of "Chinese Inferior to the Inferior" Infiltrated by Neoliberalism Must Be Criticized", "The Ideals and Beliefs of Youth Are Related to the Future of the Country - Winning the Microphone of Neoliberalism", etc., firmly defended Marxist theory and theory, and sharply and profoundly criticized neoliberal fallacies.
Shen Yu, a well-known Hong Kong commentator, said: "Kunlun's thinking has at least preserved the country's background, capital has no borders, but capital can most effectively penetrate into all aspects of a country, from cultural life, spiritual life to material life." For this reason, for the independence of the country and the nation and the ultimate success of the socialist cause, we need a fixed needle in the ideological field. As a powerful force for safeguarding socialist ideology, Kunlun Ce has played an important role in setting the sea. As a member of Kunlunce, he published 45 articles and 230,000 words in October. While carrying out a profound and sharp critique of the evil of neoliberalism with the "Kunlun Sword", as a loyal and responsible "Kunlun warrior", guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, he sang the main theme of Marxist theory and socialist practice: "Origin, Inheritance and Development: Xi Jinping's Concept of Labor Ethics", "Carrying forward the heroic spirit of the new era", "Let the willingness, dare to take responsibility, and good responsibility become the trend", "Responsibility in the Great Anti-epidemic Struggle, Family and Country Feelings and National Righteousness", etc. The protection of people's health and safety has become an important component of loyalty and responsibility: "Nucleic acid fraud must be "punished with criminal law", "nucleic acid testing profits must be "handed over to the state", "nucleic acid testing" PLA supervision is urgent", "anti-epidemic struggle must blow the clarion call of "counterattack"", "compulsory injection of "non-immunization program vaccines" is illegal", etc. The exploration of the experience and law of economic and social development has become an important proposition: "Private economy" and "private economy" are the same concepts? "The Formation Causes and Breakthrough Path of Temporary Economic Difficulties" "Youth unemployment rate of 19.6%, how to break the situation? and so on.
4. What kind of integration should be achieved in building the spirit of development and struggle?
Engels pointed out: "The relationship between capital and labor is the axis around which all our modern social systems revolve" (Selected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume II, People's Publishing House, 1995 edition, note 19), as long as the wage labor system exists, the contradiction between capital and labor will always exist. How to solve labor-management conflicts, promote harmonious development and high-quality development has become the most fundamental discipline purpose of labor relations. After graduating from Chinese Minmin University with a doctorate in labor relations, he returned to Qingdao, the national 200-year industrial base where his parents worked, set up a labor and personnel research institute, and set up 8 research centers, including "labor economy and employment entrepreneurship, labor relations with Chinese characteristics, reform of institutions and institutions, human resources and leadership development, labor security and occupational safety, labor population and career, talent assessment and talent development, agricultural labor and rural economy", and completed 2.5 million words of theoretical and practical think tank research in 6 years, pursuing With Huawei's "collective public ownership of the working people" as the management model, Huawei has established a "high-research-oriented" enterprise corresponding to the transformation of the achievements of the Institute, with "labor creating value" as the foundation, "labor science to promote high-quality industrial development" as the pursuit, "achieving high-quality employment of college students" as the guide, "respecting labor and respecting creation, human happiness and self-perfection" as the internal driving force pursuit, and "individual potential and collective struggle, scientific research breakthrough and high-quality development" is the fundamental path. However, in the international and domestic environment, we deeply feel that "the spirit of construction, development and struggle can only move forward solidly and smoothly if we achieve integration".
The report of the 20th CPC National Congress emphasized: "Strengthen the morale, backbone, and confidence of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, do not believe in evil, fear ghosts, and pressure, advance in the face of difficulties, face difficulties, make overall plans for development and security, go all out to overcome all kinds of difficulties and challenges on the way forward, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up a new world for cause development." In the three years of fighting the new crown epidemic, the Communist Party of China led the Chinese people to "adhere to the people's supremacy and life first, adhere to external defense input, internal defense rebound, adhere to dynamic zero clearance without wavering, carry out the people's war, overall war and obstruction war against the epidemic, protect people's life safety and health to the greatest extent, and coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development to achieve major positive results", but it was also groundlessly slandered and hunted by capital, "Investigation on the Production and Operation Status of Export-oriented Enterprises Resuming Work Against the Epidemic" and "Facing the Great Achievements of Anti-epidemic, Jumping Out" Lie Flat and Let Go"Fire Pit" "Identifying and Defeating the Hunting Attempts of American "Pharmaceutical" Capital" attacks "slander and hunt" with detailed data, development facts and fighting spirit. The socialist market economy adheres to the "people-centered" development concept, which is fundamentally different from the "capital-centered" capitalist market economy, but the misleading theory of "service capital" theory in Western economics and the evil theory of neoliberalism "human self-interest" have led to the emergence of "top cliff-like" wealth differentiation in which "0.33% of the rich own 67.4% of private wealth, while 92.7% of the population only owns 7% of private wealth" (2023 CICC report), resulting in an "top cliff" of the gap between the rich and the poor, thus the economic cycle Production-circulation-distribution-consumption" due to the "imbalance of distribution links" caused by "rupture of consumption links", has become a key issue restricting the exit from economic difficulties and employment difficulties, with the unity of "development, construction and the spirit of struggle" put forward "unswervingly curb the "top cliff" wealth gap 5 categories of 16 countermeasures and suggestions.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "The major proposition of the Sinicization of Marxism itself determines that we must not abandon the soul of Marxism, and we must not abandon the root vein of China's excellent traditional culture." Adhering to this soul and root is the foundation and premise of theoretical innovation." To avoid the socialist market economy being misled by the theoretical theory of the capitalist market economy and induced by Western economics and neoliberalism, it is necessary to "use Marxism to activate the vitality of the excellent factors in the excellent traditional Chinese culture and give it a new connotation of the times, inject the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation into Marxism at a deeper level, effectively integrate the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, converge into new theoretical advantages, and constantly climb new ideological peaks." ("Xi Jinping Presides over the Sixth Collective Study of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee," Xinhuanet, July 2, 2023). Looking back at "The Ancient and Profound Ancient and Profound Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture", "The Theoretical Connotation of Labor Ethics with Chinese Characteristics", "The Spirit of Labor Ethics and Its Contemporary Value in the Yan'an Period", "Traditional Chinese Economic Ethics and Harmonious Labor Relations", "The Connotation of Socialist Entrepreneurship with Chinese Characteristics", "Responsibility, Family and Country Feelings and National Righteousness in the Great Anti-epidemic Struggle", "Injecting the "National Soul" into the Chinese Model Star", etc., all of them are marked with a profound and timeless "Marxist soul, the root of Chinese excellent traditional culture".
Qingzhou's ancient cultural fertile soil, the iron bones of "being born as a master, and dying as a ghost", the Zhongyan feeling of "the worries of the world first, the happiness of the world after the world", the wisdom and heroism of the "400 Qingzhou flag soldiers", and the flesh and blood of the "805 Prefecture Tax Division Alley", inherit the roots of traditional Chinese culture. The theoretical obsession of the Party School of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 50", the revolutionary inheritance of "majestic pagoda mountains and rolling rivers" of Chinese Minmin University, and the military temperament of "Kunlun sharp sword and Kunlun soldier loyalty" of the Kunlun Ce Research Institute linger the soul of Marxism. At the time of self-questioning and party spirit messages at the age of 54 and 34 party birthdays, what I felt most deeply was that "we must closely link our destiny with the fate of the country and the nation", and the loyalty of a communist needs to integrate his life ideals into the historical torrent of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, take his family and country as his own responsibility, and write a splendid chapter on the land of China!
