Recently, Qiushi magazine published An important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping entitled "Strengthening Ideals and Beliefs to Supplement the Calcium of the Spirit". The article points out that the formation of firm ideals and convictions is neither achieved overnight nor once and for all, but must be constantly forged ahead and tested in the practice of struggle. Strengthening ideals and convictions is a lifelong task, and it requires constant cultivation and constant practice, and it is necessary to believe and keep it for a lifetime.
Over the past one hundred years, faith and conviction have been the fundamental motive force for generations of Chinese Communists to overcome difficulties and twists and turns and win great victories. In the years of the revolutionary war, countless Communists were willing to throw their heads and spill their blood because they adhered to their faith and conviction and maintained a fearless spirit of revolutionary heroism. In the period of peaceful construction, our party also relied on firm faith and conviction to unite the people and fight for the people's own interests. On the new journey, party members and cadres should put "loyalty to the party" in the first place, implement "responsibility as a role", carry out "people first" throughout, strengthen their ideals and convictions in the process of studying and practicing thinking, truly studying and believing, and constantly learning and constantly renewing, and illuminate the "road" of rushing to take the examination in the new era with the bright light of faith and belief.
We should strengthen our ideals and convictions in true study and true faith, and put "loyalty to the party" in the first place. Looking back at the glorious course of our party over the past one hundred years, lofty ideals and lofty beliefs are important magic weapons for inspiring generation after generation of Chinese Communists to overcome difficulties and forge ahead. Only when party members and cadres have firm ideals and convictions can they step through one ditch after another, withstand one test after another, and only then can they walk steadily and far on the new journey. In the new era, party members and cadres should do a good job in the lifelong subject of ideals and convictions, consciously strengthen the study of theoretical knowledge, combine the study and education of party history, strengthen faith and conviction and confidence in the study of history, build a solid foundation of faith, replenish the calcium of the spirit, and be politically firm and theoretically sober. The key to judging whether cadres have ideals and convictions lies in whether they are loyal to the party. Party members and cadres must firmly remember the Zhengzheng oath written by the party's volunteers, remember the solemn promises made by the party, be loyal to the great cause of the party and the people, be single-minded, consistent, and as always, listen to the party, follow the party, feel the gratitude of the party, and strive to be loyal defenders of the party and the people.
Forge a solid style of work in real earnest work, and implement the "responsibility as an action" in a down-to-earth manner. There is an objective criterion for judging whether a Communist Party member or a leading cadre has the lofty ideal of communism, and that is to see whether he can uphold the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, whether he can bear hardships first and enjoy them later, whether he can work diligently and honestly perform official duties, and whether he can fight, struggle, and dedicate all his energy and even his life to the ideal. Whether or not ideals and convictions are firm or not must be reflected in practical actions. Party members and cadres must be actors who rise up and do what they preach, strivers who overcome difficulties, take the initiative to go to the difficult, severe, and complicated battlefields of major struggles with a posture of not being afraid of difficulties and not giving up, temper party spirit, temper their will, and increase their abilities in the midst of strong winds and waves and in the midst of thick winds and waves, and in the midst of trial and error; they must carry forward the style of doing solid work, show a posture of hard work, and the spirit of taking responsibility, shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the times, practice the mission of the original heart, go through experience in the course of official duties, and interpret ideals and convictions with practical actions.
In the sincerity of the people, deeply rooted in the people's feelings, the "people first" throughout. The party's original intention and mission are the concentrated embodiment of the party's nature, purpose, ideals and beliefs, and goals of struggle, and are the fundamental motive force that encourages generations of communists to go forward and fight bravely. The firmness of ideals and convictions is embodied in serving the people wholeheartedly and in the action of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Party members and cadres must always put the people in the highest position in their hearts, be concerned about the masses and never forget their roots, serve the masses without being absent, unswervingly adhere to their original intentions, always adhere to the people-centered development thinking, believe in the masses, rely on the masses, and serve the masses, take the initiative to sink their hearts to do things for the masses, relieve the people's worries, alleviate the people's difficulties, conform to the expectations of the masses, enhance the people's livelihood and well-being, always maintain absolute loyalty to the party and the people, have the people in their hearts, act for the people, take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle, and truly serve as an official. Benefit one party.
