Always maintain the style of hard work
■Ding Penghui
President Xi emphasized: "Great dreams are not something that can be waited for or shouted at, but something that can be spelled out and done. "The road is simple, and hard work is essential. Hard work is an attitude, but also a kind of responsibility. Young officers and men must always maintain the style of hard work, work hard in a state of longing for a long time and an attitude of indomitable struggle, stand up for themselves with hard work, make progress on the basis of actual achievements, and strive to make brilliant achievements in ordinary posts.
You must have the subjective will to want to do it. Always maintain the style of hard work, and want to do it is an important premise. At present, individual comrades still have the erroneous mentality of not seeking political action in their positions, only seeking to get by in their work, and taking a detour when encountering contradictions, and they have no intention in thinking, inaction in action, and nothing in their work, all of which are manifestations of a lack of mission and responsibility. Hard work can only be done, and hard work can be done well. Comrade Lei Feng does everything he loves, he does everything he does because he has infinite love and loyalty to the party's cause. In actual work, when we work hard with full enthusiasm and a serious attitude, the work can be brilliant; on the contrary, if there is resistance and perfunctory responsibility, the results will inevitably be low. If young officers and men want to make some achievements in their work, they must plunge into their work with a strong sense of professionalism and responsibility, adhere to the "craftsman spirit," devote themselves to "embroidery efforts," regard their posts as combat positions, do their work as a career, and shoulder their duties and missions.
We must have the spirit of hard work and hard work. When I was young, I chose to endure hardships and choose harvest, and I chose to dedicate myself to nobility. Young officers and men experience a little more beatings, setbacks, and tests, which is conducive to taking the road of military service. "Talents must be cultivated since ancient times, and let go of the wind and rain. Wang Jinxi, the "iron man," drilled the first oil well in the Daqing Oilfield with the stubborn will and sky-high enthusiasm of "I'd rather live 20 years less and desperately want to win the big oil field"; Jiao Yulu, a "good public servant of the people," led the people of Lankao to fight against sandstorms, waterlogging, and salinity, thus improving the harsh natural environment of Lankao; Deng Jiaxian, the "father of the two bombs," buried his name in the Gobi for decades, slept in the open all year round, and deciphered the mystery of the atomic bomb "by the most primitive method." The new journey cannot be smooth sailing, and there are still many "snow mountains" and "grasslands" to be crossed. Young officers and men must ensure that they do not take refuge in matters and do not shirk their responsibilities, bravely shoulder the heaviest burdens, dare to gnaw the hardest bones, take on more hot potatoes, and do solid work and immerse themselves in hard work in arduous environments, dangerous and heavy tasks, and arduous posts.
It is necessary to have the perseverance and tenacity to do it to the end. "Although the road is long, it cannot be done, and although the thing is small, it cannot be impossible. "Entrepreneurship not only requires enthusiasm, but also works hard and for a long time. In reality, some people avoid problems at work, retreat when they encounter contradictions, and lack the tenacity to overcome difficulties and perseverance to the end. To always maintain the style of hard work, it is necessary to avoid the loose psychology of "three days of fishing, two days of drying nets" and the impetuous mentality of promoting seedlings and being in a hurry to achieve success, and achieve a career in the rope sawing wood and water drops and stones. Comrade Lin Junde devoted half a century of selfless dedication to forging the important weapon of a great country, and he continued to uphold it until the last moment of his life; Comrade Wang Jicai persevered in it for 32 years, dedicating his good years and even his precious life to the cause of coastal defense of the motherland. In the great journey of strengthening the army and rejuvenating the army, young officers and men should use the tenacity of "holding fast to the green mountains and not relaxing" and the perseverance of "never breaking Loulan and never returning it." Hammer after hammer, stubble after stubble, draw a blueprint to the end, and never give up until the goal is achieved.
One by one, I "chuckled" in my heart for the "Regulations" several times
Study the new version of the "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), look at it and look at it in your heart, and then look down, and "puff" in your heart. After reading them one by one, my heart "groaned" several times.
When I asked the party members and cadres around me, it was not the individual situation that "groaned" in my heart, but the real feelings of many people. Pondering carefully, this "grunt" and "gurgle" are good, which shows that in the process of studying, the specific content of the "Regulations" has really touched the inner world of party members and cadres. It's like walking and encountering a high-voltage line, even if you don't touch it, your heart will suddenly tighten, and you can't help but be vigilant.
Some party members and cadres said that although the "Regulations" have been revised three times, they have not read them before, and they cannot really understand and grasp them, and they always feel that they will not violate discipline and make mistakes, and they always have confidence in keeping the red line of discipline. Some party members even say that they have no power or power, and they have no conditions or qualifications to violate discipline and make mistakes.
After reading the "Regulations", I realized that the so-called "confidence theory" and "qualification theory" are all confused understandings and dangerous ideas. The "Regulations" are different from those who do not look at them, and there is a big difference between those who learn and those who do not study. This is exactly a manifestation of the original intention of the formulation of the "Regulations" and the effect to be pursued in carrying out party discipline study and education in the whole party. "Grunt", the "ring ruler" is one inch long, and the "embankment" is one point higher. A few more "gurgles" today are precisely for the sake of long-term peace of mind.
The new version of the "Regulations" has a total of 3 parts, 11 chapters, 158 articles, and more than 20,000 words.
First, the requirements are high, which is mainly reflected in politics. The target of the "Regulations" is Party members, and Party members are political identities, and political requirements are a clear main line of the "Regulations". This is reflected in both the requirements of the General Provisions and the requirements of the Specific Provisions. Our party has six major disciplines, and the first one is political discipline. The Regulations provide for 28 articles on penalties for violations of political discipline, i.e. from articles 49 to 76. Article 49 stipulates: Those who do not maintain consistency with the Party Central Committee on major issues of principle and have actual remarks or behaviors or cause negative consequences shall be given a warning or serious warning; if the circumstances are more serious, they shall be removed from their positions within the Party or placed on Party probation; and if the circumstances are serious, they shall be expelled from the Party. Such a requirement fully reflects the highest political principle that the whole party deeply understands the decisive significance of the "two establishments", further strengthens the "four consciousnesses", strengthens the "four self-confidences", achieves the "two safeguards", and consciously maintains a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core at all times. It should be said that in recent years, in the media, forums and other public occasions, there are basically no remarks that are not consistent with the Party Central Committee, but in the self-media, private gatherings and other occasions, there are still a few party members and cadres who are open-mouthed and can say whatever they want, but they do not know that this is on the verge of violating discipline and has even touched the red line of discipline.
Second, it is strict, which mainly reflects the general trend of comprehensively and strictly administering the party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general trend of our party in formulating and enforcing discipline has been to become stricter and stricter. Political deviations arise from ideological vacillation, and ideological changes are not invisible. In some cases of violation of discipline and law, we often see that individual party members and cadres privately read, browse, and listen to newspapers and periodicals, books, audio-visual products, and electronic reading materials with serious political problems, as well as online texts, pictures, audio, and video materials. These behaviors are naturally among the strictest and should be dealt with by party discipline. Party members and cadres must understand that no matter how private such a thing is, it is not a personal private matter, and there can be no luck.
The third is to be detailed, which is mainly reflected in the pertinence. Facing the problem of party members and cadres is the clear direction of the "Regulations". We must not only put power in the cage of the system, but also tie the cage of discipline more and more densely. Although there are only 8 new punishments for violations of mass discipline, the new version of the "Regulations" is highly targeted, operable, and has a great warning effect. We talk about the supremacy of the people and the people-centeredness, and this "up" and "center" are not just on the lips, but must be reflected in the behavior of party members and cadres. The "Regulations" clearly stipulate what cannot be done in mass work, and if it is done, it will violate the discipline of the masses and will be subject to disciplinary punishment. For example, raising funds and apportioning expenses from the masses in excess of the standard and scope to increase the burden on the masses; withholding and confiscating the masses' money and property or punishing the masses in violation of the relevant regulations; withholding the masses' property or defaulting on the masses in arrears in violation of the relevant regulations; collecting fees in violation of the relevant regulations in management and service activities; making things difficult for the masses and demanding money when handling affairs involving the masses; and so on. After these articles, the "Regulations" also added a special sentence: those who have the above behaviors in the field of rural revitalization shall be punished severely or aggravated. Such a reminder, which is rarely found in general regulations, is not only redundant, but necessary. Rural revitalization is an important task of our party at present, and it is the work most closely related to the interests of the masses.
Each article of the "Regulations" is like a seat marked with the number of seats, and party members and cadres should study the "Regulations" one by one.
As far as the vast number of party members and cadres are concerned, discipline is a constraint, and it is a hard constraint, and those who violate it must be dealt with. But discipline is also helpful to us, when faced with external temptations, when the heart is full of desires, discipline is the weapon in our hands, it blesses us to overcome temptations and desires, and maintain the integrity of a Communist Party member. Therefore, we must not only learn discipline, know discipline, know discipline, and abide by discipline, but also thank discipline.
Reading through the "Regulations" is at most half a day, and the whole party carries out party discipline study and education, from April to July, which is only a period of four months, but abiding by discipline and discipline is a matter of a Communist Party member's lifetime.
Let's talk about "power over public opinion"
■杨思聪
The Korean War broke out in 1950. At that time, New China had just been founded, and everything was in ruins, and the "United Nations Army" led by the United States was menacing, and the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee repeatedly discussed the issue of whether or not to send troops. No matter how difficult the decision is, it must be decided. In this regard, Comrade Mao Zedong, after repeated reflection, vigorously put forward the idea that "we should participate in the war, and we must participate in the war." The benefits of participating in the war are very great, and the damage of not participating in the war is extremely great," and persuaded other comrades of the Party Central Committee to make a strategic decision to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the homeland and the country. Facts have eloquently proved that this decision was wise and correct. This history enlightens us that when making decisions on major matters, party members and cadres should be good at resisting pressure to make decisions, and do their best to overcome public opinion when the proposition is correct.
It is sometimes easy to confuse it with obstinacy and stubbornness. In fact, it is not the case, and it is a working method based on a correct understanding of objective things, daring to put forward and adhere to one's own viewpoint, and at the same time carrying forward a democratic style to persuade others, rather than blindly engaging in "listening to me" and "having the final say" without knowing right from wrong. In order to be able to overcome public opinion and advocate correctly, it is necessary to have a correct cognition of things, accurate analysis and judgment, a strong sense of responsibility, and good communication skills.
Correct cognition and accurate analysis and judgment of things are the prerequisites. Trying to overcome public opinion is not a blind proposal, but an analysis, thinking, and insight into things, and then putting forward their own views and propositions, which contain a regular understanding of things and forward-looking judgments. During World War II, the British and American armies had studied the distribution of bullet marks on the surviving planes after the battle, and at first decided where to strengthen the armor where there were more bullet marks, but the statistician Ward Li overrode the public opinion and pointed out that more attention should be paid to the parts with fewer bullet marks, because it is difficult for the fighters who have been heavily damaged in these parts to have a chance to return, so this part of the data is easy to ignore. Ward's judgment proved correct. Party members and cadres must improve their correct understanding of things and accurately analyze and judge things, they must step up investigation and study, and those who do not understand and cannot do so must throw themselves down to the grassroots level and to the front line to understand the situation, grasp the essence and laws of things and find out ways to solve problems through analysis and thinking, induction, and summarization; they must persist in seeking truth from facts; they must not make subjective assumptions, pretend to understand, pat their heads, and take things for granted, but must understand things, analyze the situation, and draw conclusions on the basis of objective facts; they must pay attention to strengthening study, and always have "skills to panic" In addition to striving to master the necessary knowledge and skills for the post, they must also extensively dabble in and deeply study the knowledge of politics, philosophy, military, science and technology, management, literature and other aspects, broaden their horizons, inspire thinking, and constantly improve their ability to understand and solve problems.
A strong sense of responsibility is a guarantee. In the face of major decisions, whether to follow the crowd and follow the crowd, or to insist on independent thinking and dare to express views and propositions, especially in the case of disagreement with everyone, whether they can work together for the public and make suggestions and suggestions tests whether party members and cadres have the spirit of responsibility. During the campaign to liberate Hainan Island, our army lacked ferries and boatmen, and officers and men lacked experience in naval warfare. In the face of various unfavorable factors, Han Xianchu, then commander of the 40th Army, on the basis of accurately grasping the changes in tide and wind direction, made a decisive decision, asked for battle many times, and finally persuaded his superiors to change the battle plan, land on the island ahead of schedule, and succeed in one fell swoop. Only with a strong spirit of responsibility can we withstand the pressure and put forward the right proposition at the critical moment. This requires the majority of party members and cadres to continue to temper their party spirit, and always adhere to the party's principles first, the party's cause first, and the people's interests first in the face of major decisions, major issues, and major issues. We must have the courage to make decisions, to see accurately and grasp the big things, to make decisive decisions that should be made, to be bold and responsible for those who should be responsible, even if it is to take risks and bear pressure, we must seize the opportunity and move forward steadfastly; dare to adhere to the correct viewpoint, and in the case that personal views are not valued or recognized, adhere to the starting point and end point of improving the scientificity and effectiveness of the final decision-making, and actively speak out and contribute wisdom.
Good communication skills are key. It is necessary to strengthen communication with others to ensure unity of thought and action. During the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang troops launched a key offensive in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Liberated Area, and Comrade Mao Zedong decided to take the initiative to evacuate Yan'an. Faced with the situation that some soldiers and civilians could not figure out, he patiently explained, "If you save people and lose land, everyone and land will survive, and if you lose people, you will lose people and land," and "we will exchange one Yan'an for the whole of China." To strengthen communication and form consensus, it is necessary to carry forward democracy, persist in equal deliberation and collective discussion, and ensure that the policy decisions formed are more scientific and rational in the process of fully demonstrating the pros and cons of various viewpoints and plans; it is necessary to maintain patience and persist in tirelessly doing work and reasoning with a small number of comrades who cannot turn their minds around and always hold different viewpoints, so as to win their support; it is necessary to improve methods and be good at expounding viewpoints in language that the masses can understand and accept. Answer questions, less big words and empty words, less condescending and domineering, and express your views more easily by others through more down-to-earth and friendly language expression.
Actively cultivate and develop new quality productive forces
■Xu Xiaoming
"The new quality of productivity is the quality of the advanced productivity that plays a leading role in innovation, gets rid of the traditional economic growth mode and the development path of the productive forces, has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and conforms to the new development concept" "The development of new quality productivity is the internal requirement and important focus of promoting high-quality development, and we must continue to do a good job in innovation to accelerate the development of new quality productivity" "We must lead industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, and actively cultivate and develop new quality productivity...... General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important expositions and a series of major deployments on the development of new quality productivity have profoundly answered the major questions of "what is new quality productivity, why should new quality productivity be developed, and how to develop new quality productivity", and provided scientific guidance and practical path for promoting high-quality development on the new journey.
Accurately understand and profoundly grasp the scientific connotation and generation logic of new quality productivity. "New quality productivity" is not created out of thin air, but on the basis of the development of traditional productivity, through scientific and technological innovation and model innovation to promote the continuous improvement of the level of productivity. In 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the concept of "new quality productivity" during his inspection in Heilongjiang, and the 11th collective study of the 20th Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee systematically elaborated on the new quality productivity, and further emphasized the development of new quality productivity according to local conditions during the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year. From the perspective of theoretical logic, the new quality productive forces are the theoretical crystallization of the practical exploration of Chinese-style modernization. Marxism holds that the productive forces are the material prerequisite for all social life and the most active and revolutionary factor for promoting social progress, and the criterion of productive forces is the fundamental criterion for measuring social development. Looking back on the development process of the mainland, from Comrade Mao Zedong's proposal that "without science and technology, the productive forces cannot be improved", to Comrade Deng Xiaoping's emphasis that "science and technology are the primary productive forces", and then to General Secretary Xi Jinping's emphasis that "innovation is the primary driving force for development", our party has always attached great importance to scientific and technological innovation and the development of productive forces. As the mainland enters a new stage of development, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has consistently liberated and developed the productive forces, promoted the mainland's economic development to rejuvenate and reach a new level, and formed advanced productive forces in line with the new development concept. Based on this, General Secretary Xi Jinping creatively proposed the "new quality of productive forces", which enriches the connotation of the Marxist theory of productive forces, and is the innovation and development of the Marxist theory of productive forces, which has profound theoretical significance. From the perspective of practical logic, the new generation of digital technology covered by the new quality productivity has been widely used in the upgrading of traditional industries and emerging strategic industries. At the same time, some major strategic development areas have continuously transformed and upgraded traditional industries, cultivated and expanded emerging industries, laid out and built future industries, and realized the dual promotion of industrial agglomeration effect and regional synergy. The new industries, new models and new kinetic energy brought about by the new quality productivity have shown strong support and driving force for high-quality development in practice.
Cultivate and develop new quality productive forces through scientific and technological innovation. Scientific and technological innovation is the core element in the development of new quality productive forces. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the mainland's scientific and technological strength has jumped to a new level, and scientific and technological innovation has supported and led the high-quality development of China's economy. Successful achievements in the fields of manned spaceflight, deep-sea and deep-earth exploration, and supercomputers have been reported frequently, and innovative achievements in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum technology have emerged, showing China's explosive growth in the field of science and technology. Practice has proved that accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the only way to promote high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "In the fierce international competition, we must open up new fields and new tracks for development, shape new momentum and new advantages for development, fundamentally speaking, we still have to rely on scientific and technological innovation. "At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, strategic, cutting-edge and disruptive technologies continue to emerge, and the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial development is deepening. The mainland has comprehensive advantages such as a complete industrial system, a large industrial scale, and a wealth of application scenarios, which provides a rich soil for future industrial development. It is necessary to face the key direction of future industries, implement major national scientific and technological projects and major scientific and technological research projects, give full play to the important role of innovation carriers such as national laboratories and national key laboratories, systematically promote key core technology research, and accelerate the cultivation of future industries and the formation of new quality productivity.
Institutional innovation is used to ensure the development of new quality productive forces. Institutional innovation has injected new vitality into the development of the mainland's social productive forces, and has greatly promoted the development of the national economy, the enhancement of comprehensive national strength, and the improvement of the people's living standards. To develop new productive forces, it is necessary to strengthen the foundation and guarantee role of the system. Knowledge, data, technology and talent are the key elements to promote the development of productive forces, and it is necessary to innovate the mechanism for the smooth allocation of high-quality production factors. It is necessary to improve the intellectual property protection system, keep pace with the times, formulate laws and regulations adapted to the digital era, strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, strengthen the open sharing of data, and transform data resources into real productive forces; It is necessary to improve the new national system, bring together the forces of the government, the market, and enterprises, scientifically coordinate and optimize the mechanism, and promote the in-depth integration of the innovation chain and the industrial chain; continue to promote the reform and innovation of the market economy system and mechanism, constantly improve and implement the "two unswerving" systems and mechanisms, and create better conditions for the development of new quality productive forces by deepening the reform of the economic system in key areas and key links. It is necessary to improve the innovation mechanism such as the introduction and use of talent training, encourage colleges and universities to innovate the diversified talent training mechanism, serve the major strategic needs of the country, focus on the world's scientific and technological frontiers and key technology fields, optimize the discipline layout, break the barriers of disciplines and specialties, deepen the interdisciplinary integration, innovate the discipline organization model, and build a high-tech talent team; Strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, on the one hand, gather global high-level innovation resources with a more open mind, provide more intellectual support for the mainland's scientific and technological innovation, and on the other hand, work with other countries to promote scientific and technological innovation, and promote science and technology to better benefit the people of all countries.
