General Secretary Xi Jinping's reply to the letter caused a warm response among retired comrades in Shanghai: This is our unshirkable responsibility

"General Secretary Xi Jinping's encouragement of old comrades to continue to shine and heat up, combined with their own revolutionary experience, to tell more stories of the Communist Party of China, the glorious traditions and fine work style of the party, is a great encouragement to our old comrades, but also put forward new requirements for old comrades." The vast number of retired cadres in Shanghai, members of the "Five Old Report Group" and "Four History Propaganda Group" were particularly excited to see General Secretary Xi Jinping's reply to the 100-year-old soldiers of the Shanghai New Fourth Army Historical Research Association.

They said that in accordance with the instructions of the general secretary, they will continue to do a good job in publicizing the history of the party, and guide the majority of party members, especially the young generation, not to forget their original intentions, keep firmly in mind their mission, strengthen their faith, and struggle bravely, so as to make unremitting efforts to comprehensively build a modern socialist country in the new era.

Old Ji Futuo must also tell the party's story well

At the Pudong New Fourth Army Historical Research Association, the son of Zhou Dagen, a 94-year-old revolutionary martyr who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, said excitedly: "General Secretary Xi Jinping's reply is a full trust and care for our veteran soldiers and party members, and a sincere hope and demand for us on the journey of building a socialist modern power in China in the new era." We want the old man to tell the story of the party well for the younger generation, so that the party's fine traditions and work style can be passed on from generation to generation. ”

Qu Jun, a 97-year-old veteran of the Nandu Anti-Japanese War, was very emotional: "The general secretary fully affirmed our role in inheriting the red gene, and put forward earnest hopes and requirements for 'telling the party's story well' and caring for the next generation in the future." Although we are already looking forward to the old age, we must also make due contributions to the long-term prosperity of our party and the prosperity and strength of the motherland. ”

Chen Xiaoguang, a descendant of the New Fourth Army and executive deputy director of the Zhoujiaqiao Street Customs Work Committee, said that it is our duty to tell the red stories of our fathers to the youngsters. "The work we have done is not enough, there is still room for improvement, there is still room for innovation, so we cannot meet the achievements that have been made, and we must continue to work hard and continue to innovate and develop."

Xu Lin, a member of the Putuo District Four History Propaganda Group, said: "Although I did not participate in the revolutionary war, I am also an old comrade with 55 years of party experience, and I have witnessed the historical process of the country from poor and backward old China to today's prosperity and strength in the more than seventy years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He said that although it is a rare year, he will continue to undertake the "four histories" education and publicity activities for the broad masses of the community and young people.

People without spirit can not stand, the country without spirit is not strong

"We are the people who come over, who do we not talk about?" We are the inheritors, when we used our youth to carry the dream of a strong country, today we want to use the sunset to illuminate the struggle of the 'back waves'. For some time, the vast number of retired cadres in Shanghai, as witnesses, participants and promoters of the "four histories", have given full play to their unique political advantages, gone deep into the frontline of the grass-roots level, carried out propaganda activities, and inherited the red gene.

"There are some things that if we don't talk about, no one will know about them later." We must tell future generations what has happened. "It's not the organization that wants me to talk, it's me that I want to talk about it." It is my responsibility to tell young people history. These are the words that the members of the five-year-old reporting group of "Guangqi Yuqing" often hang on their lips. "Although our stories are not as systematic, logical, and in-depth as university professors and party school teachers, as witnesses, the history we say is more real, more vivid, more vivid, and more infectious."

People without spirit can not stand, the country without spirit is not strong. This is the deep experience of 92-year-old Cao Jiaxuan. Even if he was wearing a hospital gown, Cao Jiaxuan, a volunteer of the "Four Histories" propaganda group in Xinjing Town, could not "idle". At the invitation of the hospital, he gave a "four histories" party lesson for the medical staff, telling the story of how he grew from a cowherd to a revolutionary fighter and heroically killed the enemy on the battlefield to join the party. Two medical staff were deeply educated after listening to the story of the party lesson, and with the encouragement of Cao Jiaxuan, they submitted an application to the party organization to join the party.

"The younger generation was born in a prosperous world, knows very little about the history of the past, mostly stays in books and concepts, and has no personal feelings about the hardships and hardships of revolution and entrepreneurship." Wang Peng, who graduated from the Harbin Military Engineering College in his early years, contributed 19 years of youth to the cause of "two bombs and one star". After retirement, he not only participated in various volunteer activities, but also used his personal experience to inspire young people to work hard.

Take the initiative to get close to young people and inherit the red gene

Huang Baomei, a ninety-year-old man in Yangpu District, read General Secretary Xi Jinping's reply and felt very excited. "Two years ago, in Yangpu Binjiang, the general secretary made the same request to me face to face." Huang Baomei said, "I always keep in mind the instructions of the general secretary, tell young people about the glorious history and glorious traditions of the party through various platforms, and strengthen their confidence in the road, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics." ”

Last year, she gave a party lesson on the Bilibili online platform of the "Old Poplar Tree Propaganda Hui", so that many young people heard about her personal experience on the Internet, reviewed and witnessed the development of the country, and deepened their understanding of party history. "As a veteran party member with nearly 70 years of party experience, the general secretary's encouragement to me will never be forgotten in my lifetime, as long as I can still walk, I will continue to tell the party story and tell the story of China."

Li Zili, 72-year-old chairman of the positive energy studio of the "Golden Sunset" old cadres in Yangpu District, is also non-stop, participating in propaganda meetings, party lessons, party lessons live broadcasts, micro party lessons, etc., especially in the party classes broadcast live on Bilibili online, which has aroused warm responses and praise from netizens, becoming a "net red" propagandist with its own traffic. In order to tell the story of party history well, he spent more than 7 years near the relics of 120 revolutionary sites in Yangpu District, seriously and diligently comparing historical materials one by one, looking for the imprint of underground party activities in the revolutionary years.

For Li Zili, who is more than a year old, live classes are no small challenge. Facing the camera of the black hole hole, the language should be vivid and lively. The manuscript must be memorized in order to be able to paint a picture. To grasp the rhythm of speech speed, to avoid the scene of "rollover"... With a spirit of not admitting defeat and living to learn from the old, Li Zili took the initiative to learn new technologies and new methods from young people, pondered various strategies, repeatedly explored practice, and gradually mastered the secrets and tricks of "sucking powder" in live classes.

"The general secretary's reply is a fundamental follow-up to our work of caring for the next generation." Zhang Liancheng, executive deputy director of the Changning District Customs Work Committee, said: We must make good use of the political resources of the old comrades, give full play to the political advantages of the old comrades, show political responsibility in the ideological and moral construction of young people, implement the fundamental task of cultivating people with good moral integrity, consolidate the project of educating people with bacon to cast the soul, and make overall plans to promote the inheritance of red genes and care services, so as to lead and protect the growth of young people and write loyalty to the party with dedication.
