(A closer look at China) How do young cadres "can be used and shoulder heavy responsibilities", Xi Jinping teaches "the first lesson of school"

　　China News Service, Beijing, September 2 (Reporter Huang Yuqin and Li Jingze) The Central Party School (National School of Administration) of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) in the fall semester of 2021 will start the training course for young and middle-aged cadres on the 1st. Teach the "first lesson of school".

　　For such a "first lesson", Xi Jinping gave five lectures within three years.

From the "ideal and belief class" that keeps the original mission in mind, to the "struggle spirit class" that draws the bottom line and the high line; A lecture focuses on different topics and focuses on each.

　　In the "first class of school" this fall, Xi Jinping put forward a series of comprehensive requirements to the "new force", calling on young cadres to "strive to be able-bodied and responsible."

Some outsiders have commented that compared with the previous one, this time is a "comprehensive course" based on the "special course". The systematic proposal of the skills and abilities that young cadres should possess can be described as "integrated."

　　"At the moment when we are moving towards the second centenary goal, the issue of cadre training is very important. The building of a modern and powerful country needs to rely on generations to pass the baton." Professor Zhu Lijia of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) believes that in the new journey At the beginning of the historical node, China's top leaders used a "comprehensive class" to clarify the ability requirements for young cadres, which is to build a talent foundation for the long-term development of future careers.

　　The outside world has noticed that in this "first class of school", Xi Jinping put forward 48-character specific requirements to young cadres, and put "firm conviction" in the first place to warn young cadres, "Strengthening ideals and convictions is a lifelong issue and requires Always practice and practice, you must believe for a lifetime and keep it for a lifetime."

　　A review found that among the many standards Xi Jinping put forward for outstanding cadres, "firm ideals and beliefs" are often among the "must options" or even the "preferred options."

As early as the National Organization Work Conference in June 2013, Xi Jinping gave the answer to "what is a good cadre" based on five criteria, and "firm conviction" is in the first place.

　　In recent years, Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the importance of ideals and beliefs in the "first class" for young and middle-aged cadres.

At the opening ceremony of the class in March 2019, Xi Jinping solemnly warned all students, "If you believe your beliefs, you must believe them for a lifetime, otherwise you will have big problems."

At the opening ceremony in March 2021, Xi Jinping once again pointed out to the students that it is necessary to "strengthen the sincere loyalty to the party with firm ideals and convictions."

　　"Whether ideals and beliefs are firm or not determines the direction of the future road. It is the primary issue of the Chinese Communist Party's executive entrepreneurship." Risks and challenges will continue to increase.

Ideals and beliefs are the "sacred needles of the sea" to deal with uncertainty, which will directly determine whether they can effectively overcome obstacles and difficulties on the road ahead.

　　Regarding how young cadres "can be used and shoulder heavy responsibilities", Xi Jinping not only clarifies the importance of ideals and beliefs from what they believe, but also points out specific directions from what they do—paying attention to reality, seeking truth from facts, being brave to take responsibility, and being good at doing things. , Adhere to principles, dare to fight, strictly abide by the rules, do not exceed the bottom line, study hard, and strengthen your skills.

Among them, there are both consistent requirements and new expressions for new issues.

　　For example, Xi Jinping once again focused on the "spirit of struggle", emphasizing non-compliance and non-compliance on issues of principle, and safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests with unprecedented will and quality.

　　For another example, Xi Jinping proposed to young cadres for the first time to carry forward the spirit of "squeezing" and "drilling" on the basis of studying more and good books on how to study diligently and practice hard and enhance their skills.

　　In this regard, Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), pointed out that the consistent requirements for young cadres contain the core criteria and value orientation of the Communist Party of China for selecting and appointing people for a long time. In response to changes in the times, new expressions of cadres’ requirements have been made. It also demonstrates the thinking and logic of the Communist Party of China in solving practical new problems.

　　In addition to asking young cadres to "do something", experts also noticed that Xi Jinping also asked "not to do something" in the "first lesson of school" to draw out thoughts and actions for young cadres who "can be used for a great deal and shoulder heavy responsibilities". The "red line" and "bottom line" on the top.

　　-Cannot engage in show-style research, bonsai-style research, or superficial research.

　　——For the Communists, "Mr. Good Good" is not really a good person.

　　——It is unrealistic to always want to live a peaceful life and not want to fight.

　　—— Communists must have the character, integrity, and courage of not believing in evil, not afraid of ghosts, and being improper.

　　According to Zhang Xixian's analysis, the requirement of "doing something or not" has a strong realistic pertinence. Formalism, lack of principles, and "good sir" are all phenomena that actually exist in the cadre team.

Say "no" to related issues in a timely manner, which points out the direction for the shortcomings that need to be overcome in future cadre building.

　　"For the talents who are'worthy and responsible', it is necessary to clearly draw the'spiritual red line' in time." Zhu Lijia believes that only this can enable the real talents to focus on improving themselves on the right path. The ability to avoid slipping thinking and going astray.
