Chinanews.com, Beijing, April 8th (Guo Chaokai) The country is the root of the world, and the country is the root of the country. The Chinese nation has always had a tradition of emphasizing family style and abiding by family rules.
The older generation of CCP leaders such as Zhou Enlai have been upright and honest throughout their lives and have strict requirements on their relatives. Their fine family style has left endless spiritual wealth for future generations.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, many relatives and friends sent letters to Premier Zhou, hoping to find a part-time job in the new government.
Zhou Enlai was very disgusted with this ethos.
In order to block the back door, Zhou Enlai formulated ten family rules for his relatives, which were widely spread later, namely: younger generations are not allowed to leave their jobs to visit him; all visitors must live in guest houses; they will all line up in the cafeteria to buy food; and watch the play as family members. Tickets are not allowed for admission; no invitations or gifts are allowed; no public car is allowed; no one else can do anything in personal life; life should be hard and simple; don’t talk about your relationship with the prime minister or show off yourself; For personal gain, no specialization.
These detailed and detailed ten family rules are not only Zhou Enlai's specific requirements for his relatives, but also a true portrayal of his integrity and integrity, setting an example for party members and cadres in how to grasp power and family relationships.
In Zhou Enlai's view, relatives are not only immediate relatives, but also their own family and relatives.
When dealing with relatives, he insisted on principles, strict requirements, no specialties, and no personal gain.
Although Zhou Enlai had no children, he had many nephews and nieces who regarded him as his own. However, he never used his power to seek personal gain for the younger generation, and sometimes even refused some reasonable care.
Zhou Erhui is Zhou Enlai's nephew and the queen of martyrs.
In 1952, Zhou Erhui was raised by Zhou Enlai in Beijing, and after graduating from university, he stayed at the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute to teach.
In order to solve the problem of separation between husband and wife after marriage, the Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel handled the transfer procedures for Zhou Erhui's lover from Huai'an to Beijing.
In those few years, China suffered severe natural disasters, and the population of Beijing was greatly reduced.
After Zhou Enlai learned about it, he patiently persuaded Zhou Erhui that, as a relative of the prime minister, he should take the lead in implementing policies and regulations without specializing.
After some enlightenment, Zhou Erhui and his lover obeyed Zhou Enlai's suggestion, gave up the completed procedures, and returned to Huai'an to work together.
As the prime minister of the country, Zhou Enlai puts responsibility and dedication first, and carefully handles the relationship between Xiaojia and everyone.
When dealing with major national affairs and daily affairs, he always regarded himself as the public servant of the people, and never let the affairs of the small family affect everyone.
Zhou Enlai's ten family rules are excellent teaching materials for cultivating the family style of party members and cadres.
It is like a mirror, admonishing leading cadres how to hold and use power well, and how to pass the power barrier and family relationship barriers.
Looking back on the centuries of development of the Communist Party of China, there are many stories about the strict management of family members and the integrity of the family like Zhou Enlai.
For example, Chen Yi and his parents have had three chapters of the law on many occasions, do not use the name of the mayor of Shanghai to go out to work, and are not allowed to use the bus at will. Remember to distinguish between public and private.
Peng Dehuai deliberately lowered the rank of his nephew for the sake of the overall situation when he presided over the rank evaluation work of the whole army.
Xu Haidong declined her daughter Xu Wenjin's request to work in the city and persuaded her to return home.
Let Xiaojia for everyone, these older generation of revolutionaries set an example, started from themselves, put the construction of family style in an important position, and set an example for us.
The family style of party members and cadres is not only related to their own family, but also related to the style of the party and government.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once emphasized to senior leaders of the Chinese Communist Party that it is necessary to take good care of family members and children and staff around him, resolutely oppose the phenomenon of privilege, and establish good family traditions and family rules.
At the moment, party members and cadres still have to use good family style to promote the formation of a clean and honest party style, to prevent pillowside wind from becoming the fuse of corruption, to prevent children from making illegal profits under their own banner, to prevent people around them from dragging themselves down and taking the lead The vane of integrity and self-discipline.
