The results of the 2024 Jiading District Grassroots Theory Propaganda "People's Famous Speakers" finals were announced, with more than 700 people actively signing up
"The traces of pursuing dreams, I tell you, are the joy of running on the road to rejuvenation. The strong voice of the times, I tell you, is the surging power of new ideas."
On June 16, a beautiful and exciting melody sounded in Jiatinghui City Life Plaza. This song, "Jiading District Grassroots Theory Propaganda Song", which was originally created by the Propaganda Department of Jiading District Committee to cheer on grassroots theory propagandists, attracted many citizens to stop and listen. The song shows that Jiading's propagandists are active on the front line, resonating with the pace of Jiading's modern new city construction, uniting and rallying the broad masses of party members, cadres and the masses to bravely shoulder the mission of the times, learn and publicize new ideas, work together to walk the road of national rejuvenation, and realize the great Chinese dream.
After the song opened, the 2024 Jiading District Grassroots Theoretical Propaganda "People's Famous Mouth" Selection Competition Finals and the Closing Ceremony of the 13th Party Member Learning Month were held.
What kind of sparks will be created by the integration of music, poetry, dance and theoretical creativity? The theoretical propaganda team of Chaxi Reading Club in Nanxiang Town used an "artistic" form to vividly explain the important theory that "the sense of community of the Chinese nation is the basis of national unity." In order to explore which is more important, the "new" or "quality" of new quality productivity, the contestants from Anting Town launched a "debate" during the lecture, which aroused the thinking of the audience. At the competition site, the contestants were sophisticated and brought everyone a series of novel theoretical lectures. After fierce competition in the top six promotion competition and the impromptu lecture competition, 6 contestants stood out and won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the 2024 Jiading District "Famous Mouths" selection competition.
In order to thoroughly study, publicize and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech during his inspection of Shanghai, and to help Jiading build a demonstration zone for the best practices of Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts, the 2024 Jiading District Grassroots Theoretical Propaganda "People's Famous Mouths" Selection Competition was launched in February this year. By widely tapping into people's propaganda talents, cultivating and expanding the grassroots theoretical propaganda team, and improving the coverage and influence of theoretical propaganda, the Party's innovative theories will be further promoted to the hearts of the people.
Through extensive online publicity and offline mobilization in the early stage, the competition attracted more than 700 contestants to sign up. Participants came from all fields and age groups, including teachers, students, community workers, farmers, party members in the "three new" fields, retired soldiers, major project builders, government workers, firefighters, retirees, etc. The topics of the contestants' speeches ranged from "self-selected topics" to "propositional essays" selected by lottery, and then to the finals of "on-site topic drawing and impromptu speeches", which were full of challenges. The audience exclaimed that it was not easy, and the "famous mouths of the people" responded to the moves and demonstrated their theoretical literacy and knowledge accumulation.
"Theoretical propagandists cannot only give speeches, recite, and memorize scripts. They must be good at speaking!" said a relevant person in charge of the Publicity Department of Jiading District Party Committee. Most contestants are good at explaining the "big truths" behind the "small stories", so that grassroots party members and the masses can understand "where the party's innovative theories come from" and "where they are going", and feel that the party's innovative theories are approachable. Jiading District will further enhance the ideological leadership of grassroots theoretical propaganda and expand the coverage and influence of theoretical propaganda by promoting lectures and propaganda through competitions.
