Deeply grasp the new connotation and new requirements of the work style construction in the new era

  Party member cadres are the representatives of people’s trust and the backbone of the Party’s governance. It is of great significance for the development of the cause of the party and the country, the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation that the broad masses of party member cadres firmly believe in iron and iron, and strengthen iron discipline and iron responsibility. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Our party has United and led the people to achieve great achievements in revolution, construction and reform. One of the most important things is that our party has cultivated and adhered to a set of glorious traditions and fine work styles in long-term practice. These glorious traditions and fine work styles are the concentrated expression of the nature and purpose of our party and a remarkable sign that our party is different from other political parties. " Young cadres must be determined to be faithful successors of the glorious tradition and fine work style of the Party, strive for the first place and make contributions in the new era and new journey, and strive to create achievements worthy of the Party, the people and the times. Since 2019, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has given four "first lessons" at the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres of the Central Party School (National School of Administration). These four "first lessons" are not only addressed to the trainees of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), but also to party member cadres at all levels of the whole party. A series of new conclusions and new requirements are put forward on the work style construction, and we should further study and understand their profound ideological connotation and far-reaching guiding significance.

  The theme of style construction runs through the four "first lessons"

  The "Ideal and Belief Course" in the spring semester of 2019 requires cadres to strengthen their theoretical cultivation in constant learning, strengthen their ideals and beliefs in true learning and faithfulness, keep in mind their initial mission in learning and thinking, constantly cultivate themselves in meticulous practice, and take the initiative in the integration of knowing and doing; The "Struggle Spirit Course" in the fall semester of 2019 requires cadres, especially young cadres, to undergo strict ideological tempering, political experience and practical exercise, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance their struggle skills, and work hard to achieve the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; In the autumn semester of 2020, the "ability improvement course" emphasized that in the face of complex situations and arduous tasks, we should take the initiative in the crisis, create a new situation in the changing situation, and cadres, especially young cadres, should improve their political ability, investigation and research ability, scientific decision-making ability, reform ability, emergency response ability, mass work ability and implementation ability; The "Style Construction Course" in the spring semester of 2021 requires young cadres to be faithful successors of the glorious tradition and fine style of the Party, constantly enhance their willpower, perseverance and self-control, and strive for the first place and make contributions in the new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way in the new era.

  Looking at the four "first lessons", style construction is one of the important themes that run through them. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized the adherence to absolute loyal political beliefs, the deep feelings of the people first, the problem orientation of facing difficulties, the establishment of a practical work style and the indomitable spirit of struggle, all of which are new connotations and new requirements for the work style construction in the new era. For party member, especially young cadres, to grow into talents better, firm belief and loyalty to the party are the primary standards, courage to struggle and take responsibility is the basic attitude, improving ability and solving problems is the essential quality, and carrying forward tradition and strengthening style of work is the fundamental guarantee.From "ideal and belief course" to "fighting spirit course", from "ability improvement course" to "style construction course", the "four courses" are promoted layer by layer, interlocking and with distinct themes, highlighting the extreme importance of style construction in the new era, and issuing a general mobilization to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition and fine style of the party and carry out great struggles with new historical characteristics.

  Glorious tradition and fine style of work are the glorious spiritual wealth accumulated by our party in the past 100 years and the immortal magic weapon to win.

  Glorious traditions can only be inherited and spread through inheritance; Good style of work can only be carried forward and flourished through perseverance. The reason why we inherit and carry forward is that on the one hand, it is the foundation of our party, and the descendants of the party have an unshirkable responsibility for it. On the other hand, the "good style" has great ideological value and practical significance in the past, present and future.

  Glorious tradition and fine style of work are like a mirror, reflecting on ideals, beliefs and sense of purpose.A political party with firm ideals and beliefs has incomparable power; If ideals and beliefs are weak, they will become a mob, and even disperse when the wind blows. Since its birth, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has written Marxism on his own banner and established the realization of communism as the highest ideal. Over the past hundred years, countless people in communist party have sacrificed their lives at the expense of blood, and this belief is the fundamental reason. Ideals are ideals because of their greatness, and beliefs are beliefs because of their persistence. With firm ideals and beliefs, we can stand high, broaden our horizons and broaden our minds, so that we can adhere to the correct political direction, be neither proud nor impatient in victory and prosperity, nor depressed and unshakable in difficulties and adversity, and achieve "peace through the storm" and keep communist party people’s political qualities forever. The relationship between style and belief in the Communist Party of China (CPC) people is the relationship between appearance and inside. Only when the soul inside is noble can the style of appearance be upright. When the style of work is dishonest, it must be a problem with ideals and beliefs. Therefore, we pay attention to building the party ideologically and strengthening the party theoretically, and solve the "master switch" problem of world outlook, outlook on life and values, so as to truly make ideals and beliefs a beacon in the hearts of cadres.

  Glorious tradition and fine style of work are like swords, which are the magic weapons for officials to start a business, persevere and be good at doing good things.As the spirit of the real communist party people, the fine style of work inspires every Chinese Communist party member to make unremitting efforts to realize lofty ideals and lofty ideals. These glorious traditions and fine styles are vivid interpretations of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s nature and purpose, the most distinctive symbol of our Party as a Marxist political party, and the "heirloom" that inspires us to be brave and brave and move forward from victory to victory. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, tens of thousands of "white-clad soldiers" have heard the order, and the grassroots community cadres have been fighting in the front line day and night, all of which show the exemplary leading role of party member cadres in the new era, fully reflect the dedication of party member cadres, and are a powerful proof of party member cadres’ fine style. The broad masses of leading cadres, especially young cadres, must fully understand the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the development process, overcome difficulties with abundant and tenacious fighting spirit, meet new challenges and open up new situations.

  Glorious traditions and fine work style are like horns, which will always inspire party member cadres to sharpen their quality and strive to be exemplary.The style of the party is the image of the party and a barometer for observing the relationship between the party and the masses. If the party’s style is correct and the people’s mood is smooth, the party and the people will be able to share weal and woe. The "key minority" of leading cadres is the weather vane of political ecology. The style of leading cadres is not only related to their own conduct and image, but also related to the prestige and image of the party among the masses. It has an important demonstration and leading function for the formation of social atmosphere and the cultivation of public life interest. It is by virtue of the fine style of work that our party can continuously win one victory after another in revolution, construction and reform. Facing the severe test of the "two overall situations" and the arduous task of reform and development, as the largest party in the world with more than 91 million party member, our party must rely on its good style to sharpen its quality and establish its image. A good style of work is to strive to be an example, to be a model, to be in line with the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, to be in line with the CPC Central Committee, to be in line with the party’s principles and policies, to take the model as a mirror, to take the first-level work and to show it to the first-level, and to faithfully implement a series of major decision-making and deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee in the whole process and every link of work.

  Glorious tradition and fine style of work are like lighthouses, which stand up the lofty power of rallying the party’s heart and people’s hearts and bravely standing at the forefront of the times.The most direct and powerful basis for ordinary people to know and judge a political party is its style. The Soviet cadres who "wear sandals every day and play lanterns at night" aroused millions of workers and peasants; The long-term tempering of "three major disciplines and eight attentions" has forged an invincible people’s army. At that time, when the People’s Liberation Army entered Shanghai, the officers and men did not disturb the people, but slept on the streets with their clothes on. Such scenes deeply shocked the Shanghai residents who are used to official arrogance and military evasion, and made the new regime quickly gain a firm foothold. Mao Zedong’s phrase "Beat Xi ‘an Style with Yan ‘an Style" reveals the mystery of communist party people’s creation of history: moving people and winning people’s hearts with excellent style. "It is the fundamental guarantee for our party to overcome all difficulties and risks to share weal and woe with the people, share the same blood, live and die together." Facts have repeatedly proved that with a good atmosphere within the party, the party and the people can unite and overcome difficulties; If the atmosphere within the party is not good, the relationship between the party and the masses will be damaged and the development of various undertakings will be frustrated. In the face of the arduous task of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our party needs to build a solid style of work to unite people’s hearts, unite from top to bottom, and gather the overwhelming power.

  Deeply grasp the new connotation and new requirements of the work style construction in the new era

  2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. The history of "two hundred years" meets and the "two overall situations" are intertwined. On the "first lesson of starting school" at this important historical node, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, standing at the height of history and times, made a new summary of the style construction of party member cadres, especially young cadres, in six aspects: loyalty to the party (the primary political quality of communist party people); Integrate theory with practice (the premise is to learn to understand theory and master the true meaning of thought); Put the people in the highest position in the heart (always take the hearts of the people as the heart); Conduct self-criticism; Dare to fight (dare to fight is the distinctive character of our party); Hard work (frugality and simplicity, avoiding extravagance, is a family heirloom of our party). Guided by problems and guided by methods, the new generalization of six aspects has enhanced the systematization and pertinence of work style construction, and put forward clear new requirements for work style construction in the new period.

  Be loyal to the party and be a sincere person who is conscious and self-disciplined.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, historic changes and achievements have taken place in the cause of the Party and the state, and "two maintenance" has increasingly become the ideological consciousness and action consciousness of the broad masses of cadres and people. However, it must also be noted that there are still a few cadres in party member who are not strong enough in political discipline and rules, and the "four consciousnesses" have not really entered their minds. There is still a gap in "two maintenance", and some even engage in "double-dealing" and "double-dealing", and the phenomenon of false loyalty appears from time to time, which deserves attention. "Loyalty to the party is the primary political quality of communist party people." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that loyalty to the Party must be single-minded and consistent, and it must be consistent in appearance and knowledge, and it will never change its mind, move its will or destroy its integrity at any time and under any circumstances. The general secretary stressed that young cadres should take the martyrs of their ancestors as a mirror, take negative examples as a warning, constantly build a solid foundation of faith, supplement the calcium of spirit, stabilize the rudder of thought, and sharpen their sincere loyalty to the party with firm ideals and beliefs. Interpreting loyalty to the party with practical actions is endowed with new connotations and new requirements at the new historical intersection. Striving for loyalty to the Party with ideals and beliefs requires party member cadres to closely follow the major arrangements of studying the history of the Party, understanding their thoughts, doing practical things, and starting a new bureau, so as to ensure that the study and education of the history of the Party will work in the same direction as their own main business and Party building, and should take this opportunity as a mirror,In-depth benchmarking of revolutionary ancestors martyrs; To clean up the loyalty to the party with the tide of the times requires leading cadres at all levels to constantly improve their political judgment, political understanding and political execution, and constantly improve their political ability to take up their duties; Writing loyalty to the Party by taking responsibility requires that party member cadres should dare to struggle, show their swords and take responsibility in the spirit of time and tide over no time, seize the day and nail the nails, so that there will be no market in bad style and the positive energy of taking responsibility and dedication will continue to be promoted.

  Integrate theory with practice, and be a doer of perseverance.The new era calls for new theories, which lead the new era and guide new practice. However, in the study of the Party’s innovation theory, some cadres still have two outstanding problems at this stage: how to really learn deeply and thoroughly, how to get into the brain and how to effectively combine theoretical study with practical work. In terms of theoretical application, there is a "skill deficit" that "the new method will not work, the old method will not work, the hard method will not dare to use it, and the soft method will not work". To this end, the Supreme Leader General Secretary asked young cadres to adhere to the principle of "integrating theory with practice". He pointed out that the history of our party has repeatedly proved that when theory is well integrated with practice, the cause of the party and the people can continue to win; On the contrary, the cause of the party and the people will suffer losses and even serious twists and turns. In response to new changes and new requirements, party member cadres should combine "point", "line" and "face" and practice the real kung fu of integrating theory with practice. First, constantly learn and expand the "knowledge", expand the width of knowledge, enhance the theoretical depth, and adapt your way of thinking and theoretical level to the needs of career development; Second, to draw a "connecting line" by combining knowledge with practice, we should fully understand the internal relationship between "knowledge" and "action", guide practice with theory, and enrich theory with practice;The third is to find a "foothold" in combination with practice, so that the work can better adapt to the new situation, new tasks and new requirements, and better meet the wishes and fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people.

  Put the people in the highest position in your heart and be persistent for the people.At present, the attitude of a few cadres towards the masses has changed, becoming exquisite and self-interested "officials", changing the relationship between "fish and water" into "officials and people", distancing themselves from the masses and affecting the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the masses. How to implement the Party’s mass line under the new situation has put forward new requirements for party member cadres. Focusing on insisting on putting the people in the highest position in our hearts, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader told young cadres to first solve the problem of "who I am, for whom, and who I rely on" and constantly pursue the spiritual realm of "I would like to be selfless and determined to devote myself to serving the Chinese people and China’s development". The general secretary of the supreme leader’s words are both teaching and vigilance. Cadres in communist party should insist on being "officials of the common people" and require young cadres to learn from the people. In the new era and new journey, leading cadres should always be close to the people, do more actions by the people, insist on asking about politics, needs and considerations for the people, and take the thoughts, worries, hopes and thoughts of the masses as the basic basis for thinking, making decisions and doing things, so that the party and the people can resonate with each other at the same frequency and realize their initial intentions in serving the people.

  Carry out self-criticism and be the inheritor of fine traditions.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, inner-party criticism and self-criticism have been widely carried out and achieved positive results. However, we should also see that some cadres in party member still have misunderstandings in understanding and practice on this issue, such as self-criticism for fear of losing face, criticism of superiors for fear of losing their seats, criticism of peers for fear of hurting their feelings, and criticism of subordinates for fear of losing votes. Criticism and self-criticism are "rusty" and "passive" in practice, which worsens the inner-party political ecology and directly weakens the ability of party organizations to solve inner-party contradictions and problems. "We communist party people carry out self-criticism, and the fundamental driving force comes from party spirit and the spirit of being highly responsible for the cause of the party and the people." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to cultivate the mind and tolerance to accept criticism with an open mind and accept it sincerely. If there is something, change it, and if there is nothing, encourage it. It can be seen that carrying out criticism and self-criticism is a realistic need to solve the problems existing within the party, a powerful weapon to deal with the "four major dangers" and an important means to strengthen and standardize the political life within the party. One of the most important aspects of the political life within the party is its political nature, times, principle and militancy, which is reflected in the courage to take up the weapon of criticism and self-criticism, so that the political life within the party is full of serious, clear-cut, positive and powerful righteousness.

  A struggler who dares to fight and does it.The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is in a critical period. The rapid changes in the situation and environment, the heavy tasks of reform, development and stability, and the numerous challenges of contradictions and risks have brought unprecedented challenges to governing the country. Therefore, highlighting the spirit of struggle and arousing a spirit that is stronger and more frustrated in the face of difficulties is undoubtedly of strong practical pertinence. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader asked young cadres not to flinch at the slightest setback, and to back down when encountering difficulties. It is necessary to strengthen strategic planning, grasp the overall situation, grasp the main aspects of major contradictions and contradictions, prioritize, arrange troops scientifically, and firmly grasp the initiative in struggle. The struggle under the new situation is an all-round and multi-level struggle. Leading cadres must fix the "compulsory course" of struggle. We must never be unwilling to fight, and we must never be afraid to fight. The word "hide" is the first and the word "push" is the first. Instead, we should always maintain the struggle posture of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and leaning towards the tiger mountains" and bravely stand on the tide and fight bravely. It should also be noted that the spirit of struggle is embodied in wartime as well as in peacetime. Every party member cadre should stand on his post and start a business with the attitude of striving for success and hard work, and work together to protect and create a better life for the people.

  Always work hard and be a dream catcher in the new era.In the new era and new journey, although we have lost the difficulties and obstacles of snowy mountains and grasslands and the living conditions of lack of food and clothing, we still face many major difficulties, major challenges, major risks and major tests. At present, a few cadres in party member have a "Buddhist" mentality, and their officers are not energetic enough, content with the status quo, lack the spirit of struggle, want to hide when they encounter things, and are afraid of difficulties, which has sounded the alarm for the party’s cause. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that now, our living conditions are good, but the spirit of hard struggle is absolutely indispensable. We must persist in self-cultivation and prosperity through thrift, and persist in practicing economy and doing everything diligently. Young cadres should be warned to be alert to themselves at all times, cultivate positive and healthy life interests, resolutely resist hedonism and extravagance, and always keep the political qualities of communist party people honest and clean. The value implication of hard work in the new era has the fundamental attribute of keeping pace with the times, and at the same time it also puts forward higher requirements for cadres: First, it is necessary to have a simple spirit of advocating economy and being diligent and frugal. The arduous struggle in the new era is not to "be poor and be immune to it", but to stick to the initial intention of seeking happiness for the people. It’s not that we should live in rags and eat chaff and swallow vegetables, but that we should ask party member cadres to take the initiative to be extravagant and frugal, and not to lose the traditional virtues of thrift; Second, the spirit of hard work and courage to reform. The arduous struggle in the new era condenses into confidence in bravely meeting and overcoming all difficulties and challenges. In the new era, there must be new responsibilities and new actions. The great cause requires the whole country to share the same desire and work together, and finally make the trickle merge into rivers and seas;The third is the spirit of being in power for the people and being honest and dedicated to the public. The arduous struggle in the new era is to take the style of work as the "ruler" and keep the political qualities of communist party people honest and clean forever. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee started with the introduction of "eight regulations", marked the distinctive features of hard struggle for the new era, and wrote a new chapter in carrying forward the spirit of hard struggle in the new era. At the same time, the arduous struggle under the new situation is to resolutely rectify the wind and discipline, adopt a zero-tolerance attitude towards all people and phenomena that violate the party’s purpose and harm the people’s interests, and will never tolerate them.
