Xi Jinping: We must do the same on and off the stage

【Study Group Press】

"One set on stage, one set off stage, one set of sayings, one set of doing; before people are people, after people are ghosts..." Wang Min, former member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Jinan Municipal Party Committee, described his "two-sided life" in this way.

A few days ago, the official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published an article entitled "We Must Not Play Two-Faced with Party Costumes -- A Warning Record of the Case of Wang Min, Former Member of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial CPC Committee and Former Secretary of the Jinan Municipal CPC Committee" (see Article 2 today), which details the details and mental process of Wang Min's collusion between officials and businessmen and corruption and degeneration.

Some team members asked whether Xi Jinping had ever discussed the phenomenon of "one set on stage, one set off stage". The study group (WeChat: xuexixiaozu) sorted out the materials and found that Xi Jinping had mentioned this issue when talking about prudence and independence.

"One set on the stage, one set off the stage", to put it bluntly, is careless and cautious. Today, the group led the team members to revisit Xi Jinping's relevant thesis on the caution and independence of officials.

Pursue the high realm of "prudence and independence"

(20 March 25, 2007)

There is a cloud in the Book of Rites: "Mo sees hidden, Mo is microscopic, so the gentleman is cautious and independent." Party members and cadres should be "cautious and independent." Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, often hold a certain amount of power in their hands, and they must not only take the initiative to accept the supervision of organizations and systems, but also constantly strengthen self-discipline, so that they can be the same on and off the stage, and the same as before and after people, especially in private, when there is no one, and in subtle places, and it is even more necessary to walk on thin ice and like an abyss, and never indulge, deviate, or overstep their bounds.

Comrade Liu Shaoqi advocated "prudence and independence" as an effective form and the highest realm of party spirit cultivation in "On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members," saying: "Even when he personally works independently, is unsupervised, and has the possibility of doing all kinds of bad things, he can 'be cautious and independent' and not do anything bad." Party members and cadres must strive to achieve "prudence and independence."

First of all, we must strengthen our ideals and convictions, establish a clear political direction, abide by clear political principles, and cherish the political life of individuals in order to form an internal "concentration."

Secondly, we must always reflect on ourselves, just like the ancients said, "my three provinces and my body", self-respect, self-examination, self-vigilance, self-encouragement, clean and self-improvement, save righteousness and dispel evil, pay attention to self-cultivation and morality, and enhance the "immunity" of anti-corrosion and anti-degeneration.

At the same time, it is also necessary to be open and transparent. Party members and cadres are also ordinary people, and it is inevitable that there will be various weaknesses and will make all kinds of mistakes, and sunshine is the best antiseptic; as long as we stress democracy, procedures, and discipline in our work, avoid black-box operations, and use our hands up and down, we can reduce the "penetration" of various temptations, and preventing corruption and resisting change will not become an empty phrase.

The little things are a mirror

(March 20, 2004)

In the subtleties see the spirit, in the subtleties also see the virtue. The small things are a mirror that can reflect the character and the style. There is party spirit, principle, and personality in the small things section.

The ancients said: The collapses the ant nest, the air vents the needle, although the croton is small and the stomach is bad, the wine glass is not deep and drowns. This reveals the profound philosophy of changing from quantity to quality, and it is also a profound lesson brought to us by some corrupt elements. Most corrupt elements have gradually gone from not paying attention to trivial matters to becoming corrupt and degenerate. It is not uncommon to let down one's vigilance in the cup changing cups, lose principles in front of small favors, and lose personality in light singing and dancing.

"Small things should be cautious, and small sections should be restrained" is indeed a golden and jade kind word for leading cadres. Every leading cadre should be cautious and cautious, strengthen his self-cultivation from small things and sub-sections, consciously improve himself bit by bit, understand the truth that right and wrong are clear from study, the realm rises from self-examination, fame and dignity originate from cultivation, and corruption ends with righteousness, and always maintain the true color of a Communist Party member.

Zhejiang's private economy is relatively developed, and on the one hand, leading cadres at all levels must support the development of private enterprises and be pro-businessmen, rich businessmen, and safe businessmen; on the other hand, when dealing with entrepreneurs, they must grasp the measure, distinguish between public and private, and make friends between gentlemen as light as water. Don't fall behind on this issue, there are too many lessons to be learned.

Therefore, leading cadres at all levels should pay attention to strengthening their self-cultivation, be cautious in small matters, be restrained in small ways, guard against microaggressions, have a clean wind in their sleeves, and build a solid line of defense, ideological and moral, party discipline, and state law.

Not deliberately "cautious and independent" is necessary to plant and fight

The virtue of being an official lies in incorruptibility. At the very least, a clear name should be left for the official. The principle of honesty must be the criterion for maintaining one's life, and the reputation of Van Li Lu is "not my own, although it is not in the slightest." When an official is a leader, he has a certain amount of power in his hands, so the possibility of making mistakes on the issues of money, fame and fortune will always be greater than that of ordinary people. If you do not deliberately "be cautious and independent" and do not pay attention to the mistake of "finding the door", you always have a fluke mentality to do something that cannot be done, and you must plant and fight.

Prudence and prudence should be exercised to warn and motivate oneself

Modesty is a traditional virtue, a kind of open-mindedness of people, and a mental state of accepting new things and seeking new development. Caution is an important way to govern. The ancients said that there were only three things in the law of being an official: "Knowing Qing, Knowing Prudence, and Knowing Diligence." For Communists, prudence is a sense of responsibility, and when using power, it is necessary to act as if it were a matter of approaching the occasion and be cautious; it is a style of work, we must do more and say less, and we must be sensitive to things and be cautious in our words; it is a kind of ability, we must see the small things and prevent problems before they happen; it is also a kind of character, we must be cautious and independent, and we must be vigilant and self-motivated. To be cautious is by no means to conform to the old ways and be cautious, but to always keep a clear head, to be careful and meticulous, and to be cautious at all times.

Be cautious and diligent in introspection

Leading cadres at all levels must establish and carry forward a good work style, and not only be strict in self-cultivation, strict in the use of power, and strict in self-discipline, but also be practical in seeking things, practical in starting a business, and practical in being a person.

To cultivate oneself strictly means to strengthen the cultivation of party spirit, strengthen ideals and convictions, enhance the moral realm, pursue noble sentiments, consciously stay away from low-level interests, and consciously resist unhealthy tendencies and evil tendencies.

To strictly use power means to persist in using power for the people, exercise power according to rules and systems, put power into the cage of the system, and never engage in privileges or abuse power for personal gain at any time.

To be strict with oneself is to be in awe, to hold the ruler in one's hand, to be cautious and cautious, to be diligent in self-examination, to abide by party discipline and state law, and to be honest and honest in government.

To be realistic in planning things is to proceed from reality in planning undertakings and work, so that ideas, policies, and programs conform to the actual situation, conform to objective laws, and conform to the spirit of science.

To start a business in a down-to-earth manner, we must really do solid work, dare to assume responsibility, have the courage to face contradictions head-on, be good at solving problems, and strive to create actual achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history.

To be a truthful person means to be loyal and honest to the party, to the organization, to the people, and to comrades, to be an honest person, to tell the truth, to do honest things, to be frank, and to be just and upright. It is necessary to carry forward the spirit of nails and nails, maintain strength, maintain tenacity, start well and end well, do good deeds, and constantly achieve new results in the construction of work style.

Excerpted from the first page of people's daily on March 10, 2014, Xi Jinping stressed that leading cadres at all levels should establish and carry forward a good work style when participating in the deliberations of the Anhui delegation to the National People's Congress

Be cautious and cautious at the beginning, and prevent micro-gradually

The issue of work style is essentially a question of party spirit. To grasp the building of work style, it is necessary to return to the basics, consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, focus on strengthening ideals and convictions, practicing the fundamental purpose, and strengthening moral cultivation.

Xi Jinping put forward 4 requirements for this purpose: First, correctly understand and handle interpersonal relations, so that both humane and principled, especially when personal feelings conflict with the principles of party spirit, personal relations and the interests of the people, we must not hesitate to stand firm in the position of party spirit and unswervingly safeguard the interests of the people.

The second is to make up our minds to reduce socializing, maintain a healthy way of working and living, learn more about charging and digesting policies, conduct more grass-roots investigations and studies, grasp the first-hand situation, think more systematically and solve outstanding problems, and consciously stay away from those vulgar things.

The third is to be a real person and do things, to be strict in self-cultivation, strict in the use of power, strict in self-discipline, to be realistic in planning things, to be practical in starting a business, to be realistic in being a person, to be upright and upright, to be bright and upright, to dare to assume responsibility, to face contradictions head-on, to be good at solving problems, and not to engage in "false big voids."

The fourth is to maintain a high degree of vigilance against all corrosive temptations, be cautious and cautious, and prevent micro-aggressions.

Excerpted from the first page of People's Daily on March 19, 2014, Xi Jinping emphasized vigorously studying and carrying forward the spirit of Jiao Yulu to continue to promote the practical results of educational practice activities when investigating and guiding the party's mass line education practice activities in Lankao County
