No matter how far you go, you can't forget the way you came

  This is an important scene in the annals of history-

  On October 31, 2017, just one week after the closing of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to make a special trip from Beijing to Shanghai and Jiaxing, Zhejiang, to pay tribute to the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and the Red Boat of Nanhu, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and review the history of the founding of the party , review the oath of joining the party, and declare the firm political belief of the new leadership of the party central committee.

The general secretary said that the entire history of our party began with the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and no matter how far we go, we must not forget the way we came.

  "Every cultural relic from the founding of the party is very precious, and every scene is intriguing. We must often recall and think deeply, and interpret the original intention of our party." In practice, Shanghai carefully guards the spiritual home of the Chinese Communists and makes full use of it. It is rich in red resources, interprets the great party-building spirit contained in the old revolutionary sites and revolutionary cultural relics, and tells the story of the Chinese Communist Party well.

  On June 3, 2021, the Memorial Hall of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China opened, and the number of exhibits increased from 278 to 1,168 at the Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, vividly showing the establishment of the Communist Party of China.

  The Shanghai Tower, located in Lujiazui, Pudong, is a landmark building in Shanghai.

On November 6, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Party Building Service Center of Lujiazui Financial City on the 22nd floor.

  "At that time, we were holding themed party day activities in the sky garden discussion and exchange area of ​​the party building service center, and the general secretary had a cordial conversation with us." Chen Jingyao, a staff member of Guohua Life Insurance Co., Ltd. recalled.

  "The difficulty of party building work is at the grassroots level, and the bright spot is also at the grassroots level." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that grassroots party building should not only carry forward the fine traditions, but also keep pace with the times, constantly adapt to the new situation, expand the field of grassroots party building, and ensure the work and life of party members. Wherever the party organization is, the party organization will cover it, so that party members can find the organization and find a home no matter where they are.

It is hoped that Shanghai will continue to explore and take the lead in strengthening grass-roots party building work.

  From fulfilling the heavy trust to continuing to explore, the grass-roots party building in Shanghai has continued to break new ground.

  Lujiazui Financial City has 285 commercial buildings and more than 500,000 employees.

The financial city has achieved the "distribution" of building party building, the "connection" of industry party building, the "rounding" of business circle party building, and the "segmentation" of regional party building.

Over the past three years, nearly 100 business backbones have been attracted to the party, and more than 500 party members have grown into corporate executives. "

  From village communities and commercial buildings to new economy and new business fields, Shanghai is actively exploring grassroots party building work that conforms to the characteristics and laws of megacities, so as to strengthen party building and promote reform, development and stability.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has replied and written to Shanghai party members and cadres many times, from Niu Ben, a film performance artist who joined the party in his old age, to all members of the party member volunteer service team of the "Communist Manifesto" exhibition hall of Fudan University, from Shanghai.

Nearly 40,000 IoT sensing devices distributed in Pudong New Area, like a neuron system, continuously transmit various data to the "city brain".

  On November 6, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Comprehensive Management Center for Urban Operation in Pudong New Area to learn about Shanghai's practices in promoting refined urban management, and asked Shanghai to continue to explore and find a new way of managing mega-city with Chinese characteristics, and continuously improve the city's performance. management level, and accelerate the construction of a socialist modern international metropolis.

  Huang Baomei, a 91-year-old old model worker, will never forget General Secretary Xi Jinping's conversation with her at the Yangpu Binjiang Renrenwu Party and Mass Service Station in November 2019.

Huang Baomei said that she has witnessed the great changes in Shanghai from the old China to the new China and then to the new era. "In the past, there were factories, warehouses, and wharves along the Huangpu River. Citizens lived by the river but could not see the river. It's really pleasant to walk around and take a look at the rest."

  With the opening of 45 kilometers of public space on both sides of the Huangpu River and 42 kilometers on both sides of the Suzhou River, the waterfront space has returned to the people. .

  "Culture is the soul of a city." On November 2, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when he inspected the riverside section of Yangshupu Water Plant, a public space in the Yangpu District, that the relationship between protection and development should be properly handled, and attention should be paid to the continuation of the city's historical context.

People run less errands." Xin Liping, deputy director of the Hongkou District Administrative Affairs Service Center, introduced.

  Bearing in mind the general secretary's entrustment, Shanghai regards people's livelihood projects as projects of the people's hearts, and accelerates the solution of outstanding livelihood problems such as "old and small".

The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government regard the most difficult "hard bones" - the reconstruction of old districts as the number one popular project, and make great efforts to solve the problem. A total of 3.08 million square meters have been reconstructed in 5 years.
