(A Closer Look at China) The "Growth Manual" shared by Xi Jinping to young cadres in the first lesson of school

　　China News Agency, Beijing, March 2 (Reporter Huang Yuqin) The training class for young and middle-aged cadres with the main task of training outstanding young cadres of the Communist Party of China started on March 1 at the Central Party School.

Facing the young force of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission once again taught all the students "the first lesson of the school".

　　This is the sixth time since 2019 that Xi Jinping has attended the opening ceremony of this training class and taught the "first lesson" in person, which shows that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to "the fundamental plan of having successors".

At present, China has embarked on a new journey. From the outside, Xi Jinping has given a "systematic and comprehensive course" on how to grow and become young cadres at this point.

From "how to see" in thought to "how to do it" in action, through a face-to-face with the future ruling elite of the CCP, Xi Jinping shared the "growth manual" with young cadres in the way of "heart-to-heart".

　　The key to government is to win people.

For a ruling party and country, cultivating and selecting new troops is a century-old plan.

"Ideals and beliefs are the foundation for building the Party and prospering the Party, and it is also the foundation for Party members and cadres to settle down." Among many standards, the firmness of ideals and beliefs is an important consideration in cultivating and selecting young cadres of the Communist Party of China.

Xi Jinping once again made it clear at the opening ceremony of the day that young cadres take over the class, and the most important thing is to take over the class that adheres to the Marxist belief and strives for the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　From March 2019 requiring "firm ideals and beliefs" and "maintaining loyalty to the party", to March 2021 clarifying that "loyalty to the party is the primary political quality of the Communists", and then this speech pointed out that young cadres should accept What a class... It can be seen that in the face of the CCP's future ruling backbone, Xi Jinping's requirements for building the foundation of ideals and beliefs have been consistent.

Some commentators said that only by firming up their ideals and beliefs can CCP cadres stand the test of future risks and challenges, walk steadily and go far.

　　For young cadres, if lofty ideals and beliefs are the ideological "high line", resisting corruption and preventing change is the ideological "bottom line".

When attending the opening ceremony in March 2019, Xi Jinping told young cadres to "be virtuous and self-respect", "be cautious and cautious", and "if a person is honest and self-disciplined, he will have no backbone."

This time, Xi Jinping once again reminded young cadres to "hold the line of defense against corruption and change, and the most important thing is to keep your heart", and to fortify every layer and everywhere.

He demanded that party members and cadres must guard the "five barriers"—political, power, communication, life, and family.

　　"The biggest threat facing the CCP is corruption. The cleanliness of party members and cadres is the bottom line of being a person and doing things." Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that no matter how capable a party member and cadre are, if they are not clean, they are not tough. , and can not undertake the big cause, and holding the line of defense against corruption and change is not only "related to the foundation", but also "directly directed to the long-term".

　　In the eyes of the outside world, this constantly enriching "growth manual" for young cadres not only focuses on "how to think" but also provides specific guidance on "how to do".

Some analysts have pointed out that developing strong skills and abilities is the basis for young cadres to "do it" in practical work.

　　In class after class, Xi Jinping has repeatedly stated in detail the different skills that young cadres need to develop.

Especially at the opening ceremony in October 2020, starting from improving the ability to solve practical problems, Xi Jinping gave a "practical ability class" for young cadres, and proposed "seven abilities" - political ability, investigation and research ability, Scientific decision-making ability, reform and tackling ability, emergency response ability, mass work ability, and implementation ability.

　　"Young cadres need to master a lot of skills in order to be competent for leadership work." Xi Jinping further focused on the skills that party members and cadres need to master at this opening ceremony - "the most fundamental skills are theoretical literacy."

In this regard, Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), believes that Xi Jinping has always required party members and cadres to strengthen theoretical study and solid theoretical foundation. The party's innovative theory to solve the requirements of new problems.

　　At the same time, being brave and good at fighting is an essential quality for young cadres.

Xi Jinping emphasized at the opening ceremony that responsibility and struggle are a kind of spirit, a kind of responsibility, and a kind of pattern, "Countless facts tell us that only with the spirit of meeting the brave and winning through narrow paths, daring to fight, and being good at fighting can we win dignity, Win the initiative and earnestly safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests."

　　When various uncertain factors at home and abroad are superimposed, "fighting spirit" has become a high-frequency word for Xi Jinping's "first lesson" in the face of young cadres.

From "dare to fight resolutely in the face of crooked and evil spirits" to special courses focusing on "fighting spirit", from "continuously forging ahead and being tested in the practice of struggle" to "going through the wind and rain in the struggle and seeing the world", some comments said that in the On the road of China's new journey, young cadres need more "fighting spirit" to deal with potential risks and tests in the future.

　　"Dare to fight and be good at fighting are indispensable abilities that young cadres need to cultivate in the process of growing up, which will help them better cope with future changes." Dai Yanjun analyzed that in the face of uncertain risks and challenges in the future, Young cadres need to carry forward the "spirit of struggle" and dare to show their swords in the face of big right and wrong. Only when they dare to face difficulties in the face of contradictions and conflicts, and do not back down or be intimidated by risks, can they grow and improve in the struggle and take the stick of history.
