"This is a crisis and a big test."

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in an important speech issued on February 23 that cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, must strengthen the spirit of victory, responsibility, love, and prudence. Among them, when talking about enhancing prudence, he emphasized that "it is necessary to have a bottom-line thinking of risk factors, to grasp the problem in the end, not to relax at all for a moment, to be sloppy, and to achieve the final victory".

It is worth pondering why General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the emphasis on strengthening "caution" at this time.

On the 23rd, he also mentioned a sentence he said two years ago. In January 2018, at the opening ceremony of the seminar to study and implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping enumerated 16 specific risks in 8 aspects, which mentioned that "a major infectious disease such as SARS also has We must always remain vigilant and take strict precautions. "

Just in this speech two years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed "three consistents." One of them is "consistently raising awareness of risks and preventing risks and challenges."

Being cautious is to always maintain the bottom line thinking, strengthen the awareness of anxiety, and focus on preventing and resolving major risks; that is, when a certain work or a certain cause is making progress, do not be complacent, do not relax, and do not take pride in yourself. Consistent until the final victory.

Contrast with the current epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development tasks, the weight of "carefulness" can be found out.

The word "cautious" has its origin in the ideological inheritance of the Chinese Communists. In April 1945, Comrade Mao Zedong addressed the opening ceremony of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, saying, "We should be modest, cautious, arrogant, and impatient, and serve the Chinese people wholeheartedly." Four years later, in March 1949, he made the famous "two musts" argument at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Party-"Make sure that comrades continue to maintain a modest, cautious, non-arrogant, and impatient style. It is imperative that the comrades continue to maintain a hard working style. "

The bright will prevent evil from happening, and the wise will be suffering from the future. The Communist Party of China is a political party born of, growing up, and growing stronger than it is. "Caution" is the heirloom of our party.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized the bottom-line thinking, consciousness of concern, and problem orientation.- On the eve of the 19th National Congress of the CPC, he emphasized in the important speech of July 26 Focus on the disadvantages, make the best preparations, work hard for the best, and strive for the best results. " At the beginning of the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he emphasized that "comrades of the whole party must look far and wide and live in peace."

In the opening speech in January 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "The more time you get results, the more you have to be cautious as you walk on thin ice, and the more you have to worry about peace." In December 2018, after congratulating the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up, he fully summarized the brilliant achievements and valuable experience, and then turned forward, emphasizing "We are now in a boat where the wandering is more urgent and people are half When the mountain road is steeper, it is a time to get harder and harder, and then to retreat if you don't go forward. "

Don't forget danger, don't forget to die, don't forget to worry. In January last year, the Central Committee held a special seminar on "main provincial and ministerial leading cadres adhere to the bottom line thinking and work hard to prevent and resolve major risks." In September, at the opening ceremony of the training course for young and middle-aged cadres of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), a speech by General Secretary Xi Jinping was attentive-"Leading cadres must have grass, leaves, and bells, and let the wind and the tiger know the tiger together Now, one can easily understand the world ’s ability to see and understand autumn and autumn, have a scientific pre-judgment of potential risks, know where the risks are, what are the forms of expression, what are the development trends, and the struggle must be fought. "

After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally directed and deployed it, and quickly formed a trend of mobilizing the whole party and mobilizing the whole country, forming a strong joint force to fight the disease, and has achieved staged results. This has a lot to do with the comrades of the whole party, the awareness of risks and anxieties throughout the country, and the ability to use bottom-line thinking to work and do things generally.

But there are also people who lack the "caution". The obvious shortcomings exposed in the response to the epidemic this time remind us that we must sum up experience, learn lessons, and constantly improve China ’s major epidemic prevention and control system and public health emergency management system. Some cadres were caught in the mirror of the epidemic situation, reflecting the shortcomings of "capability of governance and professional ability to keep up." One of the reasons why a small number of cadres "perform poorly or even poorly" is that they are also lacking in bottom-line thinking, lacking in anticipation and preparation for risks.

Both full of self-confidence and full of sense of sorrow -two "full", indispensable. If you are dazzled by a moment of victory and achievement, you will easily lose your caution. Do some cadres feel unsure about the risks and worries they are always talking about? This undue anxiety is exactly the opposite of "the heart of victory" and "the heart of caution".

The heart of victory, the heart of responsibility, the heart of love, the heart of caution, and the four "hearts" are dialectically unified. The more faith you must win, the more caution you have to follow. Only by increasing prudence can we take responsibility and fulfill it. With prudence, we can better understand the safety and security of the masses, prevent micro-fading, and solve the worries and anxieties of the masses in a timely manner.

In the important speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping on February 23, the spiritual connotation of "caution" is not only directly mentioned in these four words, but also reflected in many places-

"Economy and society is a dynamic cyclic system and cannot be stopped for a long time." ——Here is the prudence: prevent local risks from evolving into regional or global risks, and prevent short-term risks from evolving into long-term risks.

"Promote the combination of medical treatment and prevention, and truly solve the problems at the time of initiation and before the disaster." ——This is to reflect the awareness of preventing micro-progression and proactively resolving risks in the system construction and governance capacity building.

"It must be highly vigilant against paralyzed thoughts, war exhaustion, fluke, and reluctance" "No victory is never compromised"-this also reflects a cautious attitude : prevention and control of the epidemic in the People's War, general war, blocking To fight to the end, we will not relax at any moment, and we will not be sloppy until we win the final victory.

Today, when the battle is stalemate and strenuous, the big exam is attacking the most difficult and dangerous problem. At this moment, General Secretary Xi Jinping arbitrarily put forward the enhancement of "caution", which can be seen with deep meaning.

Be careful, Fang Youshou has a chance. This is a simple and useful truth. (Text 丨 Special Commentator Yang Yu)
