Carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" and walk in the forefront of the times
Supreme leader
At the beginning of August, 1921, the first National Congress of communist party, China was successfully concluded on a cruise ship in Nanhu, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, solemnly announcing the birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC). This cruise ship has thus gained a name that will never go down in the history of China’s revolution — — Red boat.
The Red Boat witnessed the epoch-making events in the history of China and became the symbol of the source of China revolution. The Red Boat has always been admired by people, especially communist party people. In 1960s, Comrade Dong Biwu, the representative of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, revisited Nanhu twice and improvised poems. Since the reform and opening-up, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and other party and state leaders have paid close attention to the birthplace of the Party, or paid tribute to the Red Boat, or wrote inscriptions in their own hands, encouraging us to "March forward courageously along the revolutionary waterway opened by the South Lake Red Boat". In October 2002, after I was transferred to Zhejiang, I made a special trip to Jiaxing Nanhu to pay tribute to the Red Boat and receive revolutionary spirit education with infinite reverence. On the first working day after the Spring Festival this year, members of the theoretical learning center group of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee came to Nanhu to pay tribute to the Red Boat and held a special study meeting on educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist party member. During the advanced education activities, thousands of Communist party member came to Nanhu from all parts of the motherland to watch an exhibition, listen to a party class, learn about party constitution, watch a feature film, pay tribute to a red boat and review a pledge to join the Party. Jiaxing city has extensively carried out the "Red Boat Spirit" discussion activities with "spiritual inheritance and ideological sublimation" as the main content, which has effectively promoted the advanced education activities.
The red boat waves, and the spirit gathers people’s hearts. What the red boat represents and shows is the height of the times, the direction of development, the beacon of endeavor, and an indelible spiritual monument cast in the hearts of Chinese children. Together with Jinggangshan spirit, Long March spirit, Yan ‘an spirit and Xibaipo spirit, the "Red Boat Spirit", along with the glorious course of China revolution, constitutes a powerful spiritual force and precious spiritual wealth for our party to overcome all kinds of difficulties and risks and win new victories on the road ahead. For more than 80 years, the "Red Boat Spirit" has always inspired and inspired our party to stand at the height of history, walk in the forefront of the times, be brave as a helmsman, lead the course, and constantly win one victory after another in revolution, construction and reform.
Red boat spirit "— — The source of the party’s advanced nature
A big party was born in a boat. From then on, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the revolutionary ship, breaking waves and creating the world, which made the China revolution look brand-new. Great revolutionary practice produces great revolutionary spirit. The "Red Boat Spirit" is the source of China’s revolutionary spirit: the fine traditions and revolutionary spirit formed in the history of communist party, China, are all directly related to it. As the vanguard of the working class in China and the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always represented the development requirements of China’s advanced productive forces, the direction of China’s advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, playing an irreplaceable leading role in promoting the historical progress of China. As clearly pointed out in the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the advanced nature of the Party "ultimately depends on the Party’s role in promoting historical progress". The red boat is a symbol of being in the forefront of the times, and the "red boat spirit" fully embodies the spirit of being in the forefront of the times, which also embodies the advanced nature of the party and is the source of its advanced nature.
Along the course of the Red Boat, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always stood at the forefront of the development of history and times with the pioneering spirit of pioneering and being the first. Old China in the 1920s was a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. The October Revolution brought us Marxism–Leninism, and the working class stepped onto the political stage during the May 4th Movement, which made ideological and organizational preparations for the birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC). It was in line with the historical mission of seeking national independence and people’s liberation that the Communist Party of China (CPC) bravely stood at the forefront of social and historical development and was declared on the South Lake Red Boat, thus turning a new page in the history of China revolution. In this regard, Comrade Mao Zedong called it "an epoch-making event". Comrade Dong Biwu gladly wrote in his revisiting the old place: "The Yanyu Loutai Revolution was born, and there was a spark here; The world of clouds and clouds rises every spring, and there are rumors everywhere. " The single spark ignited by the red boat in South Lake has formed a prairie fire of the China revolution, which makes the four seas churn and the five mountains shake. Our party moved from here to Jinggangshan, to Yan ‘an and to Xibaipo, from a party that led the people in their struggle to seize political power to a party that led the people to master political power and be in power for a long time.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) raised the sails of the red boat and, with firm ideals and indomitable spirit of struggle, was determined to push forward the revolution and construction of China. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is an advanced political party armed with Marxist theory. The birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC) gave the China Revolution a firm ideal and belief and a strong spiritual pillar. In the turbulent revolutionary tide, the Red Boat is rising, and so is the faith of communist party people. At the beginning, the Party’s "First Congress" was held in white terror, and it was transferred from Shanghai to Jiaxing to complete the mission of creating the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the South Lake Red Boat, relying on firm ideals and beliefs and indomitable revolutionary spirit. After that, in the long-term and arduous struggle, our party went through twists and turns without fear of danger, was repeatedly tested without changing its original intention, from small to large, from weak to strong, and relied on firm ideals and beliefs and indomitable revolutionary spirit. Regardless of the wind and waves, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people are not afraid of rapids and rapids, and they have always been firm in their ideals and beliefs. With the dauntless heroism of overwhelming all enemies and overcoming all difficulties, they are determined to push forward China’s revolution and construction.
With the will of the Red Boat and the dedication of building the Party for the public and being loyal to the people, the Communist Party of China (CPC) strives to safeguard, realize and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. "In the revolutionary sound, the workers and peasants were born to celebrate the Communist Party". From the day of its birth, the Communist Party of China (CPC) never had his own selfish interests, but took the welfare of the people wholeheartedly as the fundamental purpose. Close contact with the masses is a remarkable sign that our party is different from any other political party. Sailing on the water and being loyal to the people have become a red line that runs through the whole process of China’s revolution and construction, and it is also the essence of "Red Boat Spirit". With the sacred responsibility and lofty mission of working for the interests of the people, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, with their own personal efforts, publicize, mobilize and lead the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to unite as one, help each other with one heart and fight bravely, and constantly safeguard, realize and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in the process of promoting China’s revolution and construction.
The pioneering spirit of pioneering the world, daring to be the first, the indomitable spirit of struggle, the dedication of building the party for the public and loyalty for the people are the source of China’s revolutionary spirit and the profound connotation of the "Red Boat Spirit". If we want to hold high the great banner of Theory of Three Represents and always maintain the Party’s advanced nature, we must always remember our Party’s "mother ship", relive the historical vicissitudes of the Red Boat, maintain the Party’s advanced nature in inheriting and carrying forward the "Red Boat Spirit", and further inspire the faith and strength to fight for the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
"Red Boat Spirit" is of great significance to the construction of the Party’s advanced nature.
In the new century and new stage, China has embarked on the great journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization. Maintaining the party’s advanced nature is faced with both new requirements and new tests. Under the new situation, inheriting and carrying forward the "Red Boat Spirit" is of great theoretical and practical significance for strengthening the party’s advanced construction, further consolidating the party’s ruling position and completing the party’s ruling mission.
The "Red Boat Spirit" is a powerful ideological weapon that inspires us to grasp the theme of this era and the party’s top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, and to boldly explore, innovate and start a business. Development is a major theme of today’s era, and it is also the top priority of the party in governing and rejuvenating the country. To strengthen the party’s advanced construction, the first task is to improve the ability of leading development. Nowadays, the world is undergoing profound changes, and the competition of comprehensive national strength is becoming increasingly fierce. In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, many unprecedented new situations and problems have emerged in China. The "Red Boat Spirit" shows us that in the process of social development, we can’t stick to the old ways and carve a boat for a sword. We must bravely stand on the forefront, dare to be the first, and keep the vitality and vitality of the party forever with the spirit of innovation. Faced with new challenges, new opportunities, new situations and new tasks, we must uphold and carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit", have the courage and wisdom to break through our predecessors, consciously overcome the ideological concepts of being content with the status quo and not making progress, persist in arming our minds with innovative theoretical achievements, plan our work with innovative ideas, firmly hold on to development, keep pace with the times, blaze new trails, and constantly advance the great cause of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The "Red Boat Spirit" is a powerful spiritual pillar that inspires us to strengthen the communist ideal and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s belief, and to work hard despite difficulties and dangers. China’s revolutionary ship reached the other side of success in stormy waves, and the voyage of China’s reform and construction will not be smooth sailing. Building Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an unprecedented creative undertaking, and building a well-off society in an all-round way is an unprecedented and arduous grand undertaking, which is full of difficulties and various risks in the long journey of promoting its development. The "red boat spirit" shows us that if we don’t advance, we will retreat. In the face of our basic national conditions and the historical mission of our party, without firm ideals and the belief of winning, without the mental state of not being afraid of hardships and making great efforts, and the style of hard work and tenacious struggle, it will be difficult to overcome the difficulties on the road ahead and the risks and challenges on the road ahead. We must adhere to and carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit", strengthen our ideals and beliefs, enhance our sense of hardship, be prepared for danger in times of peace, observe the world and judge the situation with the mind and vision of communist party people, be conscientious, down-to-earth, not afraid of difficulties, persevere, and work hard to write a new chapter in building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization.
The "Red Boat Spirit" is a powerful moral force that urges us to keep in mind the essential requirements of building the party for the public, governing for the people and serving the people wholeheartedly. As a Marxist political party, since its birth, our party has taken the liberation of all mankind and the realization of communism as its own responsibility and the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. Insisting on building the Party for the public and governing for the people, and always maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people are the inherent political qualities and the highest political ethics of Marxist political parties, and are the fundamental yardstick for measuring the advanced nature of the Party. The "Red Boat Spirit" shows us that the relationship between the party and the people is just like the relationship between a boat and water. "Water can carry a boat or overturn it." In the revolutionary war years, it was under the guidance of the "Red Boat Spirit" that our party, proceeding from the national justice and the fundamental interests of the people, fully mobilized and relied on the people to seize political power, and since then it has become the ruling party that has held political power throughout the country and has been in power for a long time. Since the reform and opening up, our party has experienced the double test of governance and reform and opening up. Whether the Party’s advanced nature can always be maintained and whether the Party’s ruling position can be continuously consolidated depends on the people’s trust and support for the Party, which in turn depends on whether our Party can practice the essential requirements of building the Party for the public and governing for the people, and whether our Party can unite and lead the people to be pragmatic and pragmatic. We must keep in mind "We should continue to carry forward the "red boat spirit", unswervingly seek the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, adhere to the political morality that people’s interests are above all else, and truly achieve political achievements that are conducive to the cause of the party and the people.
Inheriting and Carrying Forward the "Red Boat Spirit" in the New Practice
The "Red Boat Spirit" is a historical proof of our party’s persistence and practice of its own advanced nature during its founding. Just as the party’s advanced nature is not innate and once and for all, the "red boat spirit" is also concrete and historical. We should put the "Red Boat Spirit" through the practice of establishing and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, building a harmonious socialist society and strengthening the Party’s advanced construction. Grasping this point will fundamentally grasp the essence and core of the "red boat spirit" and at the same time grasp the true meaning of the party’s advanced nature.
The red boat set sail in Zhejiang, which has both historical contingency and historical inevitability. This is the glory of Zhejiang and the spiritual strength to promote its development. In connection with the reality of Zhejiang, if we want to inherit and carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" in the new practice, we must combine the ongoing educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist party member, hold high the ideal sails, paddle hard, ride the wave of reform and opening up, and conscientiously implement the requirements put forward by General Secretary Hu Jintao for Zhejiang’s work, "strive to be in the forefront in the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization", so as to learn in depth, seek new places and do it in practice.
First, we should thoroughly implement the "Eight-Eight Strategy" and strive to be at the forefront in establishing and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development. Scientific Outlook on Development is the fundamental guide for Zhejiang to achieve faster and better development, and it is the concrete practice for Zhejiang to implement Scientific Outlook on Development by thoroughly implementing the "Eighth Five-Year Strategy" of "giving full play to eight advantages and promoting eight measures". We should constantly deepen our understanding of Scientific Outlook on Development, constantly improve our consciousness and firmness in guiding practice with Scientific Outlook on Development, constantly promote the deepening and concretization of the Eighth Five-Year Plan, pay more attention to overall planning and strengthening weak links in economic and social development, pay more attention to the quality and efficiency of economic growth, pay more attention to people-oriented, and realize and safeguard the vital interests of the broad masses of the people. We must persist in grasping the overall situation of economic development in implementing the central macro-control policy, correctly handle the relationship between giving play to the role of market mechanism and strengthening government macro-control to ensure stable and rapid economic development. We should take the initiative to promote the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation of growth mode, take the improvement of independent innovation ability as the central link of structural adjustment, put the construction of an economical society in an important position, take the overall planning of urban and rural development as the focus of solving the problems concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers, take the acceleration of the construction of advanced manufacturing bases and the development of modern service industry as the breakthrough point of structural adjustment, and take deepening reform and opening up as the fundamental driving force to promote the development of Zhejiang at a higher level.
Second, we should build a "safe Zhejiang" in an all-round way and strive to be at the forefront in building a harmonious socialist society. Building a harmonious socialist society is a new strategy and measure put forward by our party to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics according to the new requirements of the development of social practice and the new needs of people’s production and life. Zhejiang has good conditions in building a harmonious socialist society. In particular, the specific practice of building a "safe Zhejiang" has laid a working foundation for building a harmonious society in our province and accumulated useful experience. We should take the construction of "Safe Zhejiang" as the carrier and actively build a harmonious society with the characteristics of China, the times and Zhejiang. It is necessary to build "Zhejiang ruled by law", develop socialist democratic politics and provide legal guarantee for building a harmonious society. It is necessary to speed up the construction of a cultural province, enhance the soft power that constitutes Zhejiang’s comprehensive competitiveness, and provide intellectual and spiritual support for building a harmonious society. We should adhere to the principle of "giving priority to efficiency and giving consideration to fairness", stimulate the vitality and creativity of social development, promote social fairness and justice, further do a good job in caring for people’s production and life, especially helping people in need, constantly improve the social security and social assistance system, and create a good atmosphere for building a harmonious society. It is necessary to strengthen social construction and management, and strive to form a social management pattern of party Committee leadership, government responsibility, social coordination and public participation.Attach great importance to and do a good job in maintaining social stability and provide a good social order for building a harmonious society.
Third, we must earnestly enhance our ruling ability and strive to be at the forefront in strengthening the party’s advanced construction. The construction of the Party’s advanced nature is the fundamental construction related to the Party’s survival, development and expansion. We should do a good job in maintaining the advanced education activities of Communist party member, put the requirement of "walking in the forefront" throughout the whole process of advanced education activities, make planning work have the consciousness of "walking in the forefront", learn and mobilize the content of "walking in the forefront", analyze and evaluate the standards of "walking in the forefront", rectify and improve the requirements of "walking in the forefront", and strive to solve the outstanding problems, so as to truly make the advanced education activities in our province become the promotion of party organizations at all levels. It is necessary to promote all the work of party building in the spirit of reform, focus on the primary task of deepening theoretical arms, thoroughly study how to comprehensively implement the requirements of "true learning, true understanding, true belief and true use", and firmly build Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s ideals and beliefs; Focusing on the overall requirement of building a contingent of high-quality cadres, we will thoroughly study some difficult problems in selecting and employing people, managing talents by the Party, evaluating political achievements, promoting and demoting, managing and supervising, and grass-roots foundation, and strive to make breakthroughs, create characteristics, and produce results;Focusing on maintaining the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people, we will thoroughly study how to comprehensively implement the requirements of seeking truth and being pragmatic, further change the style of work, and promote the building of a clean and honest party style and anti-corruption work. At the same time, the system construction should run through the party’s ideological, organizational and work style construction.
In a word, we should inherit and carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" in the new practice, and under the encouragement and encouragement of the "Red Boat Spirit", we should constantly strengthen the sense of being in the forefront, effectively embody the requirement of "being in the forefront" in the mental state, implement it in the standards of measurement, and implement it in all work, make persistent efforts, take advantage of the situation and strive to make positive contributions to the overall situation of the country.
