Moving west to pass on the torch for a long time To build a new foundation on a tall building
——Speech at the conference of teachers and cadres of Xi'an Jiaotong University
Zhang Maizeng
(November 13, 2020)
Dear leaders, dear teachers, students, and comrades,
Just now, Wang Weiping, director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, announced the decision of the CPC Central Committee on the appointment and dismissal of the party secretary of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The speeches of several leading comrades highly affirmed the achievements of the school's development in the past few years and put forward new hopes, and also gave a high evaluation of my performance, and I strongly felt that this was the affirmation of all the comrades of the team by the superiors, the praise of the teachers, students and staff of the whole school, and the high hopes for Xi'an Jiaotong University.
Today is a turning point for me to start a new life, and I sincerely thank the organization for the glory of serving the school for 6 years and 7 months, which has achieved a unique glory compared to my entire life, and I sincerely wish the new comrades to do a better job.
The central government appointed Comrade Lu Jianjun as the secretary of the party committee of the school, which fully reflects the importance and high expectations of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core to Xi'an Jiaotong University. Comrade Jianjun graduated from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and after working, he held leadership positions in several colleges and universities, and has long-term leadership experience in college work. Later, he served as the main responsible comrade of the Provincial Science and Technology Department and the Development and Reform Commission, and in July 2019, he served as the standing committee member and secretary general of the provincial party committee. The joint efforts of the founding of the army and the tree country will surely add more impetus to the development of the school.
I firmly believe that under the leadership of Secretary Jianjun and President Shuguo, Xi'an Jiaotong University, all the schools with great ambitions, will certainly realize the long-cherished wish of "moving west to pass on the torch for a long time and building a new foundation on a tall building".
Just after the 2014 school celebration, the central government decided that I would return to my alma mater, Xi'an Jiaotong University, as the secretary of the party committee, which was a great trust in me. Looking back at the struggle of more than 6 years, no matter how heavy, hard and difficult the work is, I remind myself that I always insist, love and struggle. Ask yourself, I did not live up to the requirements of my superiors, did not live up to the expectations of teachers and students, did not live up to my own deeds, I did my best. The only regret is that I have too little time to take care of my wife, and she has supported me a lot. However, from tomorrow, I will have a lot of time with her.
I remembered a sentence of the old secretary Pan Ji, "You are ready to live a few years less and come back to do it for our Jiaotong University", which is how much I love Jiaotong University. Jiaotong University is more important than a person's life in the hearts of the older generation, this is the deepest entrustment, the most sincere trust, I have no reason to shirk and slack.
From tomorrow, I will leave the post of party secretary of Jiaotong University and look back on my 50 years of career, all the hard work is the tempering of my life, and all the struggle is the reward for my life.
Over the past 6 years, we have done a lot of things, and there are still many things that need to be done urgently. To sum up, it is to lay the foundation, gather spirit, expand space, shape culture, I do not want to use numbers to prove the results, only report the reasons behind the achievements, the development of Jiaotong University is everyone working overtime every day.
Continuously improve the theoretical and strategic thinking level of the leadership team. Through activities such as the standing committee's primary topics and the standing committee's reading class, we will deeply understand Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the requirements of the "four aspects" and important expositions on education and science and technology, and grasp the laws of higher education.
Adhere to the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the party committee, abide by the "Ten Principles of the Law" and other documents, the work in charge is closely integrated with the work of the center, and the first position of the school leader is management, full dedication, double responsibility for one post, and honest government.
The team members all have a mission responsibility of loving Jiaotong University and not being left behind, assigning tasks to everyone, and getting a response of "okay, no problem, I'll come".
The spirit of westward migration is the eternal source of glory and development of the school. On November 30, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to 15 old professors who moved west, and on April 22, 2020, he inspected the school, fully affirming that the core of the westward migration spirit is patriotism, and the essence is to obey the party's command and follow the party, which greatly invigorates the patriotic enthusiasm of teachers and students in the school, and the westward migration spirit is carried forward in the whole society.
Practice the "Ideological Jiaotong University" construction plan, hold high the banners of patriotism, collectivism, heroism and optimism, encourage teachers and students to take on great responsibilities for the development of the country and national rejuvenation, and improve the high positioning of ideology and culture in the development of the university.
Reform promotes the steady development of the school. Teaching implements the "four-in-one" education model, and creates a new system of "three all-round education" supported by "four banners" navigation and "four hundred". Scientific research has issued documents such as organizational models, grass-roots construction, and innovation port standards, forming a new mechanism for priority guarantees and stable support. Talent and personnel promote the formation of a leading, young and young show plan system. Management puts forward the idea of "reform, performance, quota, dynamics, and assessment" of salary distribution, and the concept of "performance is king" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Logistics to build a large part of the system, large service model, to provide a guarantee for the orderly operation of the school. Party building pays attention to strengthening the construction of political quality and grass-roots organizations, and stimulates the exemplary role of party members as vanguards.
It is precisely because of the strong promotion of these reforms that the school has doubled and doubled several times in some key indicators, and the objective status quo of the relatively backward development speed of Xi'an Jiaotong University has been significantly changed through subjective efforts, and the spirit of teachers and students in the whole school has been greatly improved.
The completion and commissioning of the Science and Technology Innovation Port in western China has created conditions for the future development of the school. It not only solves the dilemma of insufficient space, but also lays the foundation for the school to realize the ambition of an important scientific research and cultural and educational center in the country.
Several years of struggle have made contributions with historical imprints.
In 2015, the Party Congress was held and put forward the positioning of "taking root in the western region, serving the country, and being world-class".
In 2016, the celebration of building a world-class university was held to unite the mission will of all teachers and students to serve the country.
In this year, the school's party committee was also awarded the national advanced grass-roots party organization by the party central committee award.
In 2017, the Innovation Harbor broke ground, creating a reform speed from construction to relocation in less than 1,000 days. Innovation Harbor won the National Luban Award.
This year, it was selected into the first-class university construction category A list, and 8 disciplines were selected into the first-class list. In the fourth round of subject assessment, 41 entries were submitted and 14 were admitted to Category A.
In 2018, the spirit of westward migration was widely publicized throughout the country, which promoted the improvement of the spiritual and cultural construction of Chinese intellectuals.
In 2019, the theme education of "not forgetting the original heart and keeping the mission in mind" was carried out to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and all party members and teachers and students were deeply educated in thoughts and feelings.
In 2020, innovation port held scientific research platform display and cooperation activities for the world, opening up a new model of global cooperation and becoming an important strategic platform for the country. Drafted a grand plan for the construction of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the second phase of the Innovation Harbor.
In the past few years, the working conditions and remuneration of faculty and staff have been greatly improved and improved. The school was selected into the second national civilized campus publicity list.
In the more than 6 years of the big family of Jiaotong University, the performance of teachers and students who have worked tenaciously for the cause and honor of Jiaotong University has infected me and inspired me all the time. The work of the school has shown a high morale, a high mental state, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team, the strong support of the majority of teachers, students and alumni, whether it is the objective environment or subjective conditions, the school's cause is moving forward on a steady track.
In my work, I emphasize many problems and have been reminding Jiaotong University not to be lazy and conservative. In fact, this is in line with the reported achievements, and it is the two sides of a coin that loves Jiaotong University.
On the occasion of parting, there are too many thanks to say.
The Ministry of Education, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have given full support to the development of Jiaotong University, and it is precisely because of this that Jiaotong University can seize the opportunity and take advantage of the momentum.
The old leaders and leading talents have given me a lot of guidance and encouragement, and because of this, Jiaotong University has the ideological motivation to continuously achieve greater development.
Teachers practice their duty of teaching and educating people with their hard work and sweat. The students studied hard in the sleepless light. Comrades in management and service positions are fully committed. It is precisely because of this that Jiaotong University can have a vigorous development vitality and an environment of orderly operation.
The comrades of the Standing Committee worked together with meticulous planning and painstaking efforts. I have the honor to cooperate and work with Comrade Shuguo, we treat each other frankly, learn from each other, cooperate closely, and go hand in hand to form an unforgettable friendship, which is a wealth that I am worth remembering and learning in my life. It is precisely because of this that we have jointly promoted the rapid and sustainable development of the school's cause.
No matter where they are, the majority of alumni care about their alma mater and support their alma mater. It is precisely because of this that the career of the alma mater has such a good situation today.
On April 22, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the school and put forward requirements for us to make new contributions to the west, the country and the world in the new era, which is a strong driving force for the future development of the school. Xi'an Jiaotong University is a school with great ambitions, and accelerating the construction of a world-class university is an inherent requirement for realizing the Chinese nation's great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, and it is also the common ideal of generations of Jiaotong University. The next five, ten and twenty years will be a tough stage for Jiaotong University to realize its great ambitions, and it will certainly be a difficult process, but this is accompanied by a brilliant and arduous process, and the great ambitions of Jiaotong University will definitely be realized.
I am about to leave this post, I am about to leave Jiaotong University, and the Jiaotong Conference will always remain in the warmest memory in my heart. Blessings to Jiaotong University, blessings to everyone, in the future to create a world-class university on the new journey, there must be a pair of eyes to pay attention to, there must be a wisp of feelings always concerned, there must be a force silently added.
Thank you.
