Commentator of the Learning Times: Young Cadres Should Be Deserte to Their Posts as General Secretary | Times | Times

Recently, "Seeking Truth" magazine published "Strive to grow into a talent who is loyal and reliable to the party and the people and worthy of the important tasks of the times." This is an important speech by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the opening ceremony of the youth class of the Central Party School. In this speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that if young cadres want to become pillars, they must be worthy of their positions as well as their positions. This is a clear requirement for young cadres to focus on the development of the party and the country in the new era and new journey, and points out the direction for the growth of young cadres.

The criteria for selecting and employing people have been discussed throughout the ages. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Sima Guang said in "Zizhi Tongjian · Zhou Jiyi", "Fu Cong observes strong and Yi as talent, integrity and integrity as virtue." "All talents and virtues are saints, both talents and virtues are fools, only when virtue wins is a gentleman, and only when virtue wins is a villain." It can be seen from here that in ancient China, people first sought virtue, but if virtue could not be both, "I would rather give up talent and take virtue". Selecting and appointing people requires both morality and talent. The two are dialectically unified and indispensable. In the work of cadres, our party has formed the idea of "having both ability and political integrity and putting morality first" in the selection and employment of cadres. It not only pays attention to both ability and political integrity, but also emphasizes morality first, and puts morality in the first place in the selection and employment of cadres. Zhou Enlai pointed out: "the criteria for selecting cadres, political standards and working ability are indispensable, and political trust is a prerequisite." In his important speech at the 2015 National Party School Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping quoted Sima Guang's words "talented people, moral talents; virtuous people, talented people". He also quoted the words of the masses, "There is virtue. It is genuine goods, morality is defective, morality is waste, and morality is drugs." Judging from the practice of cadre work, the problems of young cadres are mainly due to "morality" and weak party spirit. For party members and cadres, the party spirit is the greatest virtue. "Those who plant trees must cultivate their roots, and those who plant virtue must cultivate their hearts." Only by tempering a strong party spirit and truly realizing the position of virtue can we prevent some cadres from being "good cadres" today and "prisoners" tomorrow. Cadres "just set foot on the official career, the back foot will go astray".

What kind of virtue should young cadres possess? That is to be clear about great virtue, abide by public morality, strict private morality, and firmly establish a correct view of power, performance, and career. How to judge whether young cadres are worthy of their position? To examine the morality of cadres, we should not only look at "major events" but also in "small sections" to see whether they can have political determination in the face of major political tests, whether they can establish a solid sense of purpose, whether they can be extremely responsible for their work, whether they can bear hardships first and enjoy later, whether they can bravely shoulder heavy burdens in the face of urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks, and whether they can withstand all kinds of temptations. A person's virtue is neither innate nor immutable. It needs to be constantly cultivated in work practice and life experience. For young cadres, it is necessary to integrate the ideal of life into the cause of the party and the people, to strive for the happiness of the people as their greatest happiness, to dust off the "ideological dust", to think more about "greed", to break the "thief in the heart", to ensure that there is no arrogance in the outside, not to indulge, not to cross the track, not to overstep the rules at any time and under any circumstances, always maintain the permanent power of starting a business and benefiting the people.

Soft shoulders can't carry a hard burden. Only with virtue and talent can we get things done. In the face of the current complex situation and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, it is urgent for young cadres to have the ability to solve practical problems. Improving this ability requires young cadres to pay more attention to theoretical literacy, firmly grasp the housekeeping skills of Marxism, and learn to make good use of Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and its contained worldview and methodology, the "master key" to research and solve problems ". Party organizations should put young cadres in the front line of reform, development and stability, in a difficult and complex environment, and in key positions, undergo strict ideological tempering, political experience, practical training, and professional training. in the complex and severe struggle, we should go through the wind and rain, see the world, strengthen our muscles and bones, and practice our real skills and hard work in hot practice, continuously improve political ability, investigation and research ability, scientific decision-making ability, reform ability, emergency response ability, mass work ability, and implementation ability, dare to face problems, be good at solving problems, and have the courage to solve problems.

"To cultivate talents and make scholars is the foundation of the country." The cultivation of a contingent of outstanding young cadres with both political integrity and ability is related to the "great man of the country" and the great plan of the party. On the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, young cadres are not only a leading force, but also exercise and grow in the process. The new era is an era of great promise. Young cadres should carry forward the spirit of historical initiative, not only temper the political character of loyalty to the cause of the party and the people, but also develop excellent skills worthy of the important tasks of the times, and strive to become the pillars of virtue and talent, and play a role as a contribution in the great process of promoting Chinese-style modernization.
