Do not forget the original heart must always be

The initial intention of Party members and cadres is the clank oath under the Party banner and the constant purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly integrated into the blood vessels. In various periods of revolution, construction and reform, it is groups of Communist Party members who abide by their initial intentions and continue to struggle that we usher in the bright prospect of the great rejuvenation of the country and the nation.

*** After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary led the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to Shanghai and Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, to pay homage to the First Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and the Red Boat of Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, to review the history of the founding of the Party, to review the oath of membership, to declare the firm political belief of the new leadership collective of the CPC Central Committee, not to forget the original will, to keep in mind the mission and to strive forever.

Do not forget the initial heart, only to always be the famous sentence in the "Hua Yan Sutra," meaning that only by adhering to the original creed, can virtue be perfect. It is touching to taste this sentence in connection with the repentance of some officials who have fallen from power in the recent anti-corruption campaign. At the end of their lives, these corrupt officials often regret it: they were also good cadres at first and worked diligently, but with the rise of their careers and the increase of their power, they gradually relaxed their vigilance, lost themselves, abandoned their vows, and finally slipped into the abyss of sin.

Due to the Party's long-term rule, some leading cadres have been confused by some new social trends and temporary difficulties and setbacks in the development of socialism. They do not see the future of socialism and have faith crises such as wavering ideals and beliefs. along with the development of the market economy, some party members and cadres can no longer withstand the temptation of money and are gradually losing their psychological balance. for example, some leading cadres believe in ideals and enjoy them with courtesy; they do not want to be public servants of the people, but rely on their social status and power to pursue material comforts, pervert the law for bribes, indulge in extravagance, lose their orientation in life, forget the party's purpose, and deviate from their ideals and beliefs.

At present, CCTV's popular TV series "Initial Heart" portrays a simple, simple and unique general farmer. The founding major general Gan Zuchang insists on giving up the favorable living conditions of the city and returning to his hometown Lianhua County, Jiangxi Province from Xinjiang Military Region. The quiet and beautiful small village is poor and backward. He did not forget his initial intention when he took part in the revolution and joined the Party, and vowed to change the face of his hometown. With his wife Gong Quanzhen, he really did practical things and good things for the common people, overcame all kinds of difficulties and dangers, set an example, led his parents to develop tiger ridge, build reservoirs, build power stations, cement plants, agricultural science institutes, etc. He set up a tall and vivid image truly worthy of the times with the courage of Communists.

"Initial Heart" is a series with excellent ideological and artistic qualities. It can awaken Party members not to forget their initial heart and serve the people wholeheartedly like General Gan Zuchang. Stick to psychological defense and consciously resist the erosion and influence of decadent ideas. With higher enthusiasm, actively devote themselves to the cause of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Not long ago, I saw an early article about German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to Nanjing. I was very impressed: German Chancellor Angela Merkel impressed the Chinese people with her low-key, simple, modest and approachable character. She gave a living political lesson to the Chinese people with practical actions, which was more shocking and educational than the speeches of other foreign dignitaries at Peking University and Tsinghua University.

She arrived in Nanjing for a visit, refused to arrange a luxurious presidential suite for her at Sofitel Galaxy Hotel and insisted on staying in an ordinary business room. There are more than 30 such rooms on each floor. The check-in price is more than 1700 yuan per night, plus service charge less than 1800 yuan; while the presidential suite stays for one night, which costs more than 30,000 yuan, including service charge, it costs nearly 40,000 yuan, with a price difference of more than 20 times.

The hotel originally prepared two plans, in-room dining or dining at the Sofitel Club on the executive floor of the 46th floor for VIP services, but Merkel refused to go to the private Sofitel Club specially prepared for her, insisting on having buffet breakfast in the western restaurant on the 7th floor like ordinary hotel guests. Moreover, he did not enter the VIP room and ate breakfast buffet with the accompanying German staff in the lobby. She also declined service, insisting on getting her own food from the buffet and cutting her own baguette.

While picking up a kind of oatmeal bread, Merkel accidentally dropped a piece of bread on the ground. According to the convention, the hotel staff would help the guests pick it up and change it, but Merkel refused the service staff and bent down to pick up the piece of bread that fell on the ground and put it on her plate.

Chancellor Merkel's breakfast was simple, fried egg rolls, cheese cakes, watermelon, bread, including the two pieces of cereal bread that fell to the ground. For Germans, this is not a special thing. They, the populist female chancellor, often go shopping in supermarkets and queue up obediently like other aunts. They have no privileges. But for the Chinese public, Merkel's actions were too shocking. When her stories were reported by the Chinese media, they were immediately widely praised on the Internet and applauded her.

Why is Merkel so frugal? It is not that she does not know how to enjoy it, nor that the German government cannot afford to spend tens of thousands of yuan, but that she and her staff know clearly that they are using taxpayers 'money and cannot and dare not waste it. In Germany, the law pursues the principle of zero tolerance for official consumption, that is, any extravagance is intolerable and can be regarded as corruption, and the Chancellor is no exception. For German officials, spending lavishly on taxpayers 'money is simply unthinkable. Because of this, government buildings in many parts of Germany are dilapidated and inconspicuous, officials 'official consumption is strictly restricted, and their consumption list can be consulted by the public at any time. If an official squanders public funds, he will not only be questioned by public opinion, but may also lose his black hat or even go to jail.

Merkel gave the Chinese a generous gift, that is, a real example, so that the Chinese, especially Party members and cadres, can personally understand what kind of behavior standards an official under a civilized and democratic system should have and how to ask himself. This is more powerful than a thousand criticisms, and it can shock the hearts of Chinese people!

As the Spring Festival approaches, the National Development and Reform Commission has deployed strict discipline and integrity during the Spring Festival holiday. On the morning of February 8, a special meeting of heads of Party organizations directly under the CPC Central Committee was held to deploy strict discipline and integrity during the Spring Festival holiday.

The meeting pointed out that the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to the construction of a clean and honest government and anti-corruption work at important time points. The Party Committee resolutely implements the central deployment and requirements, adheres to a multi-pronged approach, and effectively implements the discipline requirements for clean holidays. First, we must be alert and always tighten the string of strict discipline and integrity; second, we must act immediately and resolutely not touch the red line of the bottom line; third, we must be serious and implement the two responsibilities strictly and practically. At the same time, discipline inspection organizations at all levels of the whole committee should actively perform their duties, give full play to the special role of supervision within the party, pay close attention to the new manifestations and trends of the four winds problem, find out new problems of transformation and invisible variation during the holidays, discover them in time and deal with them in time. Those who violate discipline and discipline during the Spring Festival holiday will never be tolerated or soft, and will be dealt with strictly. Typical problems will also be reported and exposed by name.

It can be seen from this that the CPC Central Committee has made up its mind to fight corruption. Although the construction of a clean and honest party style has achieved initial results, the anti-corruption work has a long way to go. Relevant laws and regulations are being improved. The supervision mechanism is becoming more and more powerful. Only by preventing micro-defects and keeping the alarm bell ringing can long-term stability be achieved.
