In March 2023, the highest institution of the Communist Party of China, the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China, celebrated its 90th birthday.

　　On March 1, General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the 90th anniversary celebration meeting of the Central Party School and the opening ceremony of the 2023 spring semester and delivered an important speech, clearly stating that "the original intention of the Party School is to educate talents and provide suggestions for the Party."

　　How to better understand the original intention of the party school explained by the general secretary?

How does the party school stick to its original intention in the new era and new journey?

　　(1) "Find out the combination point, entry point, and focus point of the party school's work and the party's central task"

　　"Cultivating talents for the party and providing suggestions for the party" - these eight words put forward by the general secretary accurately summarize the original intention and responsibility of the party school and why it was born.

　　Looking back at the century-old party history, in the process of revolution, construction, and reform in our country, the Central Party School and party schools at all levels consciously served the overall situation of the party and the country and played an important role.

　　During the Yan'an rectification movement, Comrade Mao Zedong delivered a speech "Rectifying the Party's Style of Work" at the opening ceremony of the Central Party School in February 1942, which became an important symbol of the general development of the Yan'an rectification movement.

　　In the early days of reform and opening up, as an important source and important position for discussions on the standard of truth, the Central Party School played an important role in leading public opinion propaganda and promoting the ideological emancipation of cadres.

　　Entering the new era and embarking on a new journey, the cause of the party school must always focus on the center of the party's work and serve the overall situation of the party's work, and consciously position itself precisely in the new great cause of the party and the new great project of party building.

　　As the general secretary emphasized, it is necessary to find out the combination point, entry point, and focus point of the party school's work and the party's central tasks.

　　Specifically, it is to focus on the two major responsibilities so that "what kind of cadres the party needs, the party school will train such cadres; what major issues the party needs to study and solve, the party school will strive to provide advice and suggestions in those areas."

　　(2) "Do a good job in preaching, teaching, and dispelling doubts in the new era"

　　The key to politics is to win people.

Educating talents for the party is the unique value of the party school.

　　The predecessor of the Central Party School, the Marx School of Communism, was founded in 1933. Under the situation of the Kuomintang army's "encirclement and suppression" war, it trained many outstanding leading backbones for the party and the revolutionary cause.

　　During the Yan'an period, the scale of the party school continued to expand.

Judging from the delegates who participated in the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, 65% of the delegates and alternate delegates to the Seventh National Congress had the experience of studying and working in the Central Party School.

　　Entering the new era, the scale of the Central Party School's classes and the number of trainees have hit a record high, with a total of more than 88,000 person-times.

　　From theoretical education to party spirit education to ability training, the education content of party schools is multifaceted, but we must grasp the fundamentals and distinguish between primary and secondary.

　　In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that the party school should "do a good job in preaching, teaching, and dispelling confusion in the new era, spread the truth of Marxism well, teach the cause of promoting reform, development and stability, and understand and transform the subjective world and the objective world. The confusion of the world."

　　What preaching?

It is to in-depth study and publicize contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st century Marxism, and unremittingly use Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics to condense the heart and soul.

　　What kind of job do you teach?

It is to focus on improving the ability of leading cadres to promote high-quality development, serve the masses, prevent and defuse risks, and at the same time strengthen the cultivation of fighting spirit and fighting ability according to the new requirements of the new situation and new tasks for the quality of leading cadres.

　　How to solve the problem?

It is to guide and promote leading cadres to continuously improve their ideological awareness, spiritual realm, and moral cultivation through party spirit education, establish a correct view of power, political achievements, and career, and maintain the political qualities of a Communist.

　　(3) Do a good job of "exploring the law and applying it to the world"

　　"There is a training institution behind the high-level governing ability and political image of the Chinese Communist Party, that is, the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration). It is a school for the Communist Party of China to train high and middle-level leading cadres and outstanding young and middle-aged cadres across the country, and it is also a solid theory Center, which has contributed to the new situation.” In November 2022, Francis Martinez, a reporter from Mexican Television Six, observed in a report that the Central Party School played an important role as a “theoretical center” in addition to cadre training. .

　　As an important front of the party's ideological and theoretical front, the party school undertakes the important responsibility of providing advice for the party.

　　In 2015, the Central Party School and the National School of Administration were also listed as the first batch of 25 pilot units for the construction of national high-end think tanks.

In 2017, the central government approved the establishment of 10 research centers for Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and the Central Party School is one of them.

　　After the institutional reform in 2018, the newly established Central Party School (National School of Administration) has achieved deep integration, further promoting the overall planning and deployment of major theoretical research to a new level.

　　This time, the general secretary put forward higher expectations for the party school, "to do a good job in theoretical research and countermeasure research, which is a university question that explores laws and is practical in the world."

　　Contemporary China is undergoing the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of our country, and is also undergoing the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history.

　　To do a good job in the "university education", the party school must closely follow the forefront of theoretical and practical innovation, and strive to launch more high-quality research and interpretation of the party's innovation theory, promote the party's theoretical innovation, and provide advice and suggestions for the party and the government. results.

　　(4) "Purifier", "melting pot" and "weather vane"

　　Party schools are not ordinary schools, party school students are not ordinary students, and party school teachers are not ordinary teachers. They must have higher standards and stricter requirements.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly made incisive expositions on the strict governance of the Party School.

At the National Party School Work Conference in 2015, the General Secretary clearly pointed out that "Party schools at all levels must adhere to the combination of strict Party governance requirements and strict school governance principles, and adhere to strict governance of schools, strict governance of education, and strict governance of academics. ".

　　In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Regulations on the Work of the Party School of the Communist Party of China (School of Administration)".

The "Regulations" has a special chapter to make systematic regulations on the basic content and requirements of the construction of school spirit and style of study.

　　At this meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping used three subtle metaphors to "precisely position" the party school's strict governance: the "purifier" of unhealthy trends, the "melting pot" of party spirit training, and the "weathervane" of comprehensive and strict party governance.

　　On the eve of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Central Party School, Yang Chungui, the former vice president of the Central Party School, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency: "Educators must first be educated. To teach people theories, one must first understand and believe in theories. To teach people party spirit , you must first talk about party spirit and increase party spirit.” This is an old party school worker who has always asked himself.

　　Learn to be a teacher, and be a model.

　　As a spiritual hall for party members and cadres to study ideological theory, the party school must first be clean and upright, and party school workers must be strong themselves, so that students can feel the style of learning, simplicity, and clarity as soon as they enter the party school.

　　Adhering to the original intention of "cultivating talents for the party and providing suggestions for the party", the Central Party School and party schools at all levels will surely continue to create new situations in the work of party schools on the new journey, and contribute wisdom and wisdom to the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country and the comprehensive promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. strength.
