We must vigorously inherit and promote the fine traditions of our party and military, promote the construction of a strong military culture in the new era, strengthen the cultivation and encouragement of advanced models, pass on the red genes from generation to generation, and make the new atmosphere and righteousness more abundant. "President Xi Jinping's important speech at the plenary session of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress of the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police Force delegation has sparked a warm response among the military representatives and members. During the study and discussion, the representatives and committee members looked back on history with various emotions: from the city of Nanchang to Jinggangshan, from the Long March to seizing political power, from defending the country to striving for a strong military, our party and military have cultivated and formed a series of excellent traditions in practice, inspiring generation after generation of revolutionary soldiers to advance and forge ahead. Everyone expressed that these precious spiritual treasures are the family heirlooms of the people's army and an important guarantee for consolidating the will to fight. To build a world-class military after a century of hard work, we must fully leverage the unique advantages of political military construction, continuously deepen political training, pass on the fine traditions forged by our predecessors with their blood and lives from generation to generation, ensure the continuity of the bloodline, foundation, and advantages of the people's army, and unite our efforts to promote the stable and far-reaching modernization of national defense and the military. At the two sessions, representatives and members of the military discussed the theme of "vigorously inheriting and promoting the fine traditions of our party and military". They repeatedly talked about the two important meetings held by our party and military in Gutian - the Gutian Conference in 1929, which established the fundamental principles of ideological and political building of the party and the military, systematically and creatively answered and solved a series of fundamental directional and global problems faced by the party and the military at that time, and established the fundamental principles and systems of the party's absolute leadership over the military. In 2014, President Xi personally decided to convene a military political work conference in Gutian, profoundly pointing out the prominent problems in the "ten aspects" of the military, especially among leading cadres, decisively rectifying the political discipline of the people's army, and adhering to the spirit of rectification to promote political training. At the meeting, President Xi creatively summarized the fine traditions of our military's political work as the "Eleven Adherences", with the top priority being "adhering to the fundamental principle and system of the Party commanding the gun". Let's set off again from Gutian! ”Military representatives and members expressed that vigorously inheriting and promoting the fine traditions of our party and military is to help us see the way forward, understand our original intentions, clarify where and why we started, and thus lay a solid ideological foundation of listening to the party and following the party. The fine traditions of our party and army have been accumulated and formed over a long period of development, connecting the past and carrying the future. They are precious spiritual wealth that strengthens the roots, soul, and foundation. ”During the learning discussion, Chen Huan, a representative from the army, talked about his experience in building and educating the "Red Company" of a certain brigade in his group army. Along the way from Jinggangshan, the "Red Detachment" has undergone multiple adjustments, transfers, and relocations. Officers and soldiers have been replaced one after another, and honors have been earned one after another. However, one thing has never changed, which is to learn from tradition, love tradition, and uphold tradition. They firmly uphold their ideals and beliefs while inheriting the red genes, and forge political loyalty. The 'Red Army' has persistently inherited and promoted excellent traditions, resonating with representatives and committee members: we must fully leverage the lifeline role of political work in building a strong and prosperous military, guide officers and soldiers to continue to promote the glorious traditions and excellent style of our party and military, and pass on the original aspiration of our military from generation to generation. Under the banner of the Party, forging the military soul and striving for a strong military, culture plays a more fundamental, profound, and lasting unique role. ”Member Liu Xiaowei from the School of Military Culture at the National Defense University introduced that his unit is actively promoting the creation of themed literary and artistic works to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the army as an important political task. In the process of deepening political training, they organized teachers and students to conduct in-depth research and learn from the revolutionary sites. Through the infiltration of red culture, they carried out political forging and ideological transformation, deeply rooted their beliefs, and strengthened the foundation of loyalty. Looking back on the stormy journey of Gannan's Three Rectification, Xinquan Rectification Training, Yan'an Rectification Movement... Our party has always been able to unify our army's thinking and troops through political rectification training at critical moments, constantly moving from victory to victory. Military representatives and members expressed the need to conscientiously implement the spirit of Chairman Xi Jinping's important speech, vigorously inherit and promote the fine traditions of our party and army, continuously consolidate the purity and glory of the people's army, and unite for the high-quality promotion of national defense and military modernization. Leading by example, cultivating new trends and righteousness. The great era calls for great spirit, and noble undertakings require leading by example. Military representatives and members exchanged ideas on "strengthening the cultivation and motivation of advanced models". From the "landmine hero" Du Fuguo to the group of heroes defending the country and the border in the new era, and then to the "role models of the times" such as the Navy Nanchang Ship Party Committee and "Yang Gensi Lian"... Taking stock of the numerous advanced models that have emerged in the new era, the representatives and members unanimously feel that in recent years, all units of the military have implemented the new era political building strategy, purified the political ecology through political training, cultivated new trends and righteousness, vigorously carried out model making and commendation activities, guided officers and soldiers to reshape their thinking and style, and gathered strong positive energy for striving to build a strong military. The power of role models is infinite. We should lead by example, inspire officers and soldiers to cultivate a new style and righteousness, and continue to write a new chapter in the era. ”A representative from the navy said that last year, the "Liu Laozhuang Company" of a certain army brigade was awarded the title of "Model of the Times" by the Central Propaganda Department. There were two impressive details in the news report - after the 93 military parade, Wang Chen, the deputy commander of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" who held up the battle flag and was read, returned to the company. The first thing he did was stand in front of the "heroic wall" in the camp with other members of the company who participated in the parade, and reported to the old predecessors: "Your sacrifices have not been forgotten by the motherland and the people; your spirit has been passed down from generation to generation!" The "Liu Laozhuang Company" of the new era is selected as the "82 Warriors of the New Era Liu Laozhuang" every year. In this company, only outstanding "sharp knife soldiers" can be awarded this honor and qualified to say "I am a Liu Laozhuang warrior". Excellent traditions nourish the heart and inspire motivation, typical role models lead growth. The advanced deeds of 'Liu Laozhuang Company' inspire us to guide officers and soldiers to draw nourishment from the spirit and demeanor of revolutionary predecessors and typical role models, continuously consolidate their ideological foundation, strengthen their mission and responsibility, and cultivate their fighting spirit. ”Many military representatives and members have deep feelings about this. Representative Peng Chen, who once served as the 35th political instructor of the "Songgufeng Special Merit Company" of a certain army brigade, talked about his experience - back then, the brigade went through the process of transferring troops, reorganizing and reshaping, and how to integrate, unite and work together became an urgent task. The Party Committee of the brigade vigorously carries out the activity of "passing on the spirit of Songgu Peak from generation to generation", using heroic models and glorious military history to inspire officers and soldiers to inherit the glorious tradition of "shining swords when facing enemies and defeating steel with qi". The whole brigade has unified their ideological understanding, twisted into a rope, and formed a good atmosphere of concentrating on construction and striving for victory. Always maintain your true colors and carry on the red gene. "The glorious tradition cannot be lost, losing it means losing your soul; The red gene cannot change, it changes in quality. ”During the Two Sessions, military representatives and members engaged in lively discussions on the topic of "passing on the red gene from generation to generation". The red gene was born in the revolutionary era of blood and fire, embodying the nature and purpose of our party and army. Although it is a "soft power", it plays a "hard effect". In recent years, the project of passing on the red gene from generation to generation has been solidly promoted, playing an important role in educating and guiding officers and soldiers to forge a strong military spirit and maintain their true colors forever. Representative Hu Xi from a certain army brigade has a work record saved on his computer. Opening this document, one can see the footprints of the extension and expansion of the inheritance of the red gene at the grassroots level - studying and implementing the "Implementation Outline for Inheriting the Red Gene", conscientiously grasping the guiding ideology, basic principles, key focus, and main work of promoting excellent traditions in grassroots troops in the new era; Promote the implementation of the "New Era Military History Venue System Construction Plan" to enrich the main battlefield of grassroots red education; Widely carry out learning activities on "war history, examples, generals, and heroes", and the more the red background of grassroots troops is inventoried, the clearer it becomes... "Grassroots are fertile ground for inheriting fine traditions. We should deepen the activities of learning from tradition, loving tradition, and speaking about tradition, make good use of the "Three Mutual", "Five Same", "Double Four One" and other military and family heirlooms, bring tradition into a new journey, and vigorously promote good work style... "During the Two Sessions, a representative from the Air Force connected with the officers and soldiers of the" Model Airborne Troop Company "to share and learn from President Xi Jinping's important speech. The 'Model Airborne Troops Company' was the company where Huang Jiguang was stationed before his death. On the eve of August 1st, 2023, President Xi Jinping wrote back to encourage the officers and soldiers of the company to remember their mission, cherish honor, carry forward glorious traditions, hone their courage and bravery, practice hard, and strive to forge airborne blades that dare to fight and win, and make new contributions to the Party and the people. Over the years, the company's party branch has kept in mind the instructions of the commander-in-chief, vigorously promoted the spirit of heroes, and cultivated successors of heroes. The first lesson that new recruits and cadres listen to when they enter the camp is the story of Huang Jiguang, the first activity they participate in is visiting Huang Jiguang's Honor Room, and the first movie they watch is "Shangganling"... "The People's Army continues to grow and develop in refining the red genes, and will also maintain its vitality in continuing the red genes. ”The Military Representative Committee stated that standing at the critical juncture of the centenary of the establishment of the military, we feel more deeply than ever the difficulty of "the most difficult when we will succeed", and we also need the nourishment of the red gene more than ever. We must always remember President Xi's instructions, carry forward the glorious traditions, inherit the red genes, and pass on the true colors of the old Red Army from generation to generation.
