Ali in northern Tibet, the cold wind is fierce and majestic. At an altitude of 5100 meters under the Party Flag Mountain, the reporter looked up at this spiritual highland symbolizing faith, and two question marks lingered in his heart - what is it that supports generations of Communist Party members to stick to their original aspirations, stand as flags in countless hardships, and walk at the forefront of the team? What is it that makes some of them lose their way under the temptation of power, using "public tools" as a means to seek personal gain, leading to their downfall? Today, as political training deepens, journalists visit red sites and trace the footsteps of their predecessors, attempting to discover with their eyes and measure with their feet, exploring the spiritual backbone of Communist Party members. From the "simple truth" of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau to the "source commemoration" of the land of Sanxiang - hanging the character "Gong" high above his head as the night deepens, the political commissar Dong of a certain regiment stationed in the Karakoram Plateau is preparing for next year's work plan. His cheeks were tinged with 'plateau red', his hands were rough and cracked, but his eyes were clear and firm. On the wall behind, a powerful and vigorous character for 'Gong' stands out. This' Gong 'character was written for myself on the first day I took office. ”Having worked on the plateau for a long time, Political Commissar Dong spoke with a slight gasp. "Look at this plateau, the environment is harsh and the conditions are difficult. If the officials hide their secrets in their hearts and their backs are not strong, then the atmosphere of the army will be bad and people's hearts will be scattered. Who will still defend the border with iron? I often tell other members of the team that leaders should always keep the word 'gong' high above their heads." "My former leader has had a great influence on me. ”Dong Zhengwei opened the conversation box. A few years ago, the niece of this old leader who was studying in mainland China came to see him. The journey is dangerous and far, without buses, and there are several detours in the middle. The old leader insisted on not sending a bus, but instead had his niece board a truck that was given to the troops for maintenance, and they were squeezed together with vegetables and canned food, causing a bumpy whole day. This may sound inhumane, but it is an unwritten rule here. ”Dong Zhengwei said, "Why? Because it conveys the simplest truth: power belongs to the public and cannot be used for personal gain. This kind of 'unfriendly' reflects the clear distinction between public and private, and safeguards the balance in the hearts of officers and soldiers." Coming from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau to the land of Sanxiang is like a river looking up at its source. Through the continuous drizzle, the reporter came to the "Comrade Liu Shaoqi Memorial Hall" in Huaminglou Town, Ningxiang City, Hunan Province. Here, various early versions of 'On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members' are displayed. Comrade Liu Shaoqi said that the most important aspect of the cultivation of Communist Party members is the unity of theoretical learning and ideological consciousness cultivation. ”Vice director Xiong Xueai said with deep emotion, "Some cadres are having problems now, and the root cause is that their 'ideological and ideological cultivation' has not kept up, treating power as a privilege." Following the explanation of commentator Han Qi, the reporter saw a precious set of cultural relics - a letter from Liu Shaoqi's wife Wang Guangmei to the Social Science Academy in 1981, and a receipt for party dues paid by Wang Guangmei on behalf of Liu Shaoqi issued by the Organization Department. Why did Wang Guangmei still help pay party dues for Liu Shaoqi after his death? Originally, Liu Shaoqi had instructed Wang Guangmei before his death to pay all the fees for his works as party dues to the party organization. In 1945, there was a severe drought in the Yan'an area. One day, the newspaper sent a payment for the article, but Liu Shaoqi firmly refused to accept it and patiently explained, "The common people in the enemy occupied areas now have no food to eat, and the people in the liberated areas are also facing difficulties in their lives. We cannot ask for extra remuneration for doing something for the people, and we must try our best to reduce their burden." Liu Shaoqi devoted his life to serving the people. He said, "An important sign of a good party member and a good leader is that he is familiar with the living and working conditions of the people, cares about their pain and itch, and understands their hearts." During lunch, Li Liangliang, a staff member of a certain unit who was traveling with reporters, talked about an experience six months ago. At that time, a leader of the Political Work Bureau of the department went to Ningxiang for research. During lunchtime, they lined up with officers and soldiers to have lunch, sitting around the same table eating and chatting. Having the same rice bowl and eating the same food may seem like a small matter, but in the hearts of soldiers, it is a concrete manifestation of unity between officers and soldiers. ”Afterwards, the leader said to the accompanying personnel, "The cultivation of party spirit is not about how well you write your report, but about your attitude towards small things such as a meal and a car." From the Southern Bureau's "decision to stay or leave" to Mao Zedong's "sending his son to participate in the war" - engraving the word "responsibility" in his heart. At the former site of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing, there were several inscriptions written on the exhibition board in front of the office of Zhou Enlai, the then Secretary of the Southern Bureau - "A strange injustice throughout history, a single leaf in Jiangnan; fighting among colleagues, why rush to fight. This is an inscription angrily written by Zhou Enlai in the Xinhua Daily after the Kuomintang launched the Anhui Incident during the Anti Japanese War. Black clouds are pressing down on the city, intending to destroy it. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is concerned about the safety of the comrades in the Southern Bureau, and has urgently telegraphed Hongyan in recent days: cadres should retreat immediately, and important cadres such as Enlai, Jianying, Yingchao, and Biwu should leave Chongqing as soon as possible. Zhou Enlai held an emergency meeting, and after in-depth analysis, everyone believed that it was difficult to leave at this time. If left, it would mean a complete breakdown of the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which would be detrimental to the overall anti Japanese situation. Zhou Enlai firmly stated, 'I will persist until the end!' After repeatedly stating to the central government, they agreed to partially withdraw and partially retain. There are two possibilities for the development of the situation, but we must be prepared for the worst, to be arrested, imprisoned, beheaded... "Zhou Enlai said to the remaining comrades," Anyway, when I am with my comrades, we must sacrifice together! "These words still resonate today. Under the influence of Zhou Enlai, facing the White Terror and various temptations, not a single traitor or deserter appeared among the personnel under the Southern Bureau. The Mao Zedong Memorial Hall in Shaoshan, Xiangtan, Hunan, is bustling with people. In an inconspicuous display case, several items caught the journalist's attention for a long time - two shirts, a pair of socks, a military cap, and a towel. The journalist's eyes instantly moistened: This is a relic of martyr Mao Anying! In 1950, newlywed Mao Anying voluntarily requested to join the Korean War. Someone tried to dissuade him, but Mao Zedong said, 'Who calls him Mao Zedong's son! If he doesn't go, who will go!' Just over a month later, Mao Anying sacrificed himself in the American bombing at the age of 28. The memorial hall is unusually quiet. Volunteer Army veteran Nan Qixiang, who came specifically to visit the memorial hall, silently wiped the corners of his eyes. He muttered to himself, 'Sending my son to the battlefield, blood spilled across the mountains and rivers... What kind of dedication is this!' 'When Chairman Mao learned of the news of An Ying's sacrifice, he remained silent for a long time and then said,' In war, there must be casualties, it's okay, who made him Mao Zedong's son? '. He endured his grief and quietly collected his son's belongings until the end of his life. ”The Political Commissar Fu of the People's Armed Forces Department of Shaoshan City, who came to visit, told reporters that "Chairman Mao wrote a poem when he returned to Shaoshan in 1959, 'For those who have sacrificed so much, I dare to teach the sun and moon to change the sky.' In order to achieve the victory of the revolution, I can dedicate my personal happiness, family reunion, and even the most precious life. This kind of sacrifice is not just a slogan, but the unforgettable sacrifice of a generation of great people. The echoes of history always shine into reality. The reporter couldn't help but recall a story he heard on the Ali Plateau. A regimental commander who has served on the plateau for more than 20 years is being considered for transfer to the mainland military. When soliciting opinions, he requested to stay: 'My health is fine, let me lead another round of newcomers and pass on the experience.' During the interview with Alibaba, he was leading the troops for training. On the training ground at an altitude of over 5000 meters, he, like young officers and soldiers, charged with heavy loads. He told reporters, "Being an official means dedication, and revolution means sacrifice. Seeing the stability of the border defense and the daily growth of the officers and soldiers, I feel at ease." From Liu Bocheng's "volunteering to run a school" to the new era's "racing horses" - carrying the word "capable" on his shoulders, "being a party member and leading cadre, just being honest and self disciplined is far from enough. If one is mediocre, unable to create a situation, lead a team well, or complete tasks, it is also irresponsible to the cause of the Party and the people. ”In the study class, researcher Wang Jin's words reminded the reporter of Marshal Liu Bocheng. Liu Bocheng's military command art is impeccable. However, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, when the country entered a period of peaceful construction, he actively requested to "stay away" from the front line. In 1950, facing the current situation of low cultural level and lack of modern military knowledge among our military cadres, Liu Bocheng voluntarily requested to resign from his position as Chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Committee and turned around to establish the Chinese People's Liberation Army Military Academy. He said to Mao Zedong, "Let me run a school! I would like to be a teacher." This was a highly symbolic transformation: from a field army commander leading troops, to a "gardener" cultivating talents. In his new position, Liu Bocheng trained a large number of middle and senior military officers with both moral integrity and talent for the new China, and developed a comprehensive command academy system for all branches of our military. Time and space flow. The reporter was delighted to see that in the military camps across the country in the new era, many soldiers with the word "capable" on their shoulders have emerged. In a certain brigade of the Eastern Theater Command, the reporter saw Political Commissar Zhang, who had just come down from the training ground and had camouflage clothes still stained with soil. The most eye-catching feature on the wall of his office is an evaluation chart of the combat effectiveness contribution of the battalion commander. Some people say that officials should have 'official authority', but this kind of thinking is unacceptable. ”Political Commissar Zhang spoke quickly, 'In our brigade, the greatest' official prestige 'is being able to win battles. My mind is constantly focused on' rising to power ', how can I have the energy to study' battle positions'? 'At the beginning of this year, a key position was vacant. Political Commissar Zhang made a clear statement at the Party Committee: 'This position is the' iron fist 'responsible for defeating the enemy, like a mule or a horse, pulled to the practical assessment field for a walk!' 'Racing towards war', with a clear direction. In the end, a battalion commander who demonstrated excellent command ability in the joint exercise emerged victorious, setting a benchmark for the entire brigade as' the strategist rises, the victorious advances'. Pull the camera back to the starting point of the journalist's search - the snowy plateau where soldiers were training and preparing for battle. At the training ground of a certain regiment on the Ali Plateau, the reporter observed a red blue confrontation exercise. Under the command of young Captain Wang, the Blue Team used complex terrain and information technology to achieve a surprising victory. After the drill, the old comrades present nodded repeatedly in response to Captain Wang's insightful analysis of the enemy's situation, equipment performance, and tactical application. During the break, the reporter chatted with Captain Wang. His gaze was clear and firm, with a calmness and sharpness that surpassed his age. What do officers and soldiers recognize most in field troops, especially on plateaus? ”The reporter asked him. Recognize abilities, recognize skills! ”He answered without hesitation, "No matter how high the position or seniority is, if the training cannot keep up and the command is not in place, the officers and soldiers will not be convinced. We must rely on real talent and learning, and rely on the ability to win battles to establish ourselves. What makes people believe is never the power in our hands, but the ability to lead everyone to win battles
