China News Service, Beijing, May 14th. Question: Why is Xi Jinping's party introduction person?
China News Agency reporter Liang Xiaohui
To observe the growth of a political party, it is essential to explore its "new" system.
For the Communist Party of China, the largest party in the world with more than 91 million members, if you want to join it, there is "a person" who cannot avoid it anyway, that is, the "introducer" of the party.
In this regard, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, is no exception.
In 1973, a 20-year-old educated youth from Beijing, Xi Jinping, lived in a cave dwelling and sleeping in a kang. He was able to speak an authentic Northern Shaanxi dialect. He was a "self-family" who got along well with people in Liangjiahe Village in Northern Shaanxi.
He is familiar with all his farm work, and he is also a "good job" and "good young man who can bear hardships and stand hard work" in the villagers' view of farming.
All these were seen by Liang Yuming, the party branch secretary of the Liangjiahe Brigade at the time.
Because he felt that "Xi Jinping himself performed well, worked hard, had ideas, could unite the masses, and unite team cadres." In August of that year, Liang Yuming encouraged Xi Jinping to apply for membership in the party.
Xi Jinping quickly submitted an application for joining the party, but due to his father's so-called "problem", Xi Jinping's road to joining the party was not smooth.
Liang Yuming told him: "Don't be afraid that people won't approve, you should ask for progress."
After hearing Liang Yuming's words, Xi Jinping once again submitted an application to the party organization.
In the end, after organizing procedures, on January 10, 1974, Xi Jinping formally joined the Communist Party of China.
Liang Yuming, the peasant secretary of Liangjiahe Village, has also become Xi Jinping's introduction to the party.
In fact, for many political parties in the world, applicants only need to apply and wait for approval to join them.
The more than 91 million party members of the Chinese Communist Party, like Xi Jinping, have to be "introduced" by the party's introducer before they can join the party organization.
Why does the CCP set up an "introducer"?
In the revolutionary war years, the introduction of the party was considered to be equivalent to the role of the "revolutionary guarantor", not only related to the party's growth, but also related to the party's survival.
After the Chinese Communist Party came to power, this system was retained. The “guarantor” became a “guide” and “trainer”, and the party referrer became the “initiator” for the applicant to join the party organization.
In the past century, this system has also become one of the few and retained throughout the CCP from the first party constitution to today’s eighteenth party constitution.
This also reflects the rigor and norms of the CCP’s "new adoption" procedures and its consistent pursuit of "purity" from one aspect.
Historically, the CCP completed its own “rules” construction at the same time as the establishment of the party’s referral system.
In the first party constitution of the Communist Party of China, the conditions for party membership and the procedures for joining the party were specified in detail, as well as the party's organizational principles, organizational structure, party discipline and system.
"Party members who have no names are given for nothing, and we don't want them." Under the special circumstances of the Revolutionary War, the number of CCP members fluctuates sharply, but regardless of the increase or decrease in the number of party members, the CCP always adheres to high standards and requirements.
Famous articles such as "On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members", "How to Become a Party Member", "The Communist Party Can’t Help but Perform Stricter Discipline Compared with Common People" that appeared in this period are the testimony of the initial exploration of the CCP to maintain its own "purity." .
From a revolutionary party to a ruling party, the CCP has paid more attention to self-construction after being fully in power.
"The party's self-building has always been important and determines the overall situation." "It is necessary to strictly control the entrance to the development of party members, and put political standards in the first place. Those who are politically unqualified and want to mix into the party to gain benefits should not be required. "As Xi Jinping said, at present, as the world's largest party with more than 91 million party members, the CCP has always followed a set of strict standards and procedures for its "new admission", with special emphasis on preventing "infection in the party."
After joining the party, a series of rigid disciplines such as norms, regulations, regulations, methods, rules, and detailed rules formed on the basis and basis of the party constitution, and various organizational life represented by concentrated learning, thematic education, democratic life, etc. Always remind every member who joins her: can't forget the past, can't forget why they started.
This unforgettable "initial aspiration" is also the cornerstone of this party's pursuit of eternal advancement and purity.
As an external commentary said: "The Communist Party of China has never been, not in the past, and will not be a club of different interest groups in the future, but members with common beliefs, common ideals, and common pursuits form this organization." (End)
