Looking back at the history of the Party and the military, tracing the footsteps of our predecessors, and visiting revolutionary sites and military camps along the way: Today, with the continuous deepening of political training, it has become a conscious action for all officers and soldiers to constantly purify, improve, innovate, and enhance themselves by "removing dust" from their thoughts and "preserving" their original aspirations. The wind of integrity never stops blowing - the brighter the original intention, the stronger the anti-corruption dam, and the warmer the winter sun in the Huang Huai Plain. Entering the office building of a certain army brigade, the electronic screen in the lobby is scrolling and playing the "Integrity Ledger" in real-time. The latest entry in the ledger was recently written by Chief Jing of the Military Supply Camp Department of the brigade. During this period, Director Jing was responsible for the upgrading project of the camp venues. The person in charge of a certain company has invited him multiple times to participate in "social activities". He keenly realized that this was beyond the scope of normal communication, and sternly refused on the grounds that "there are clear regulations that official activities should be conducted in the office area", and reminded the other party to "execute everything according to the bidding documents and contract agreements". Since the deepening of political rectification and training, the brigade party committee has established a 'clean and honest ledger' to educate and warn officers and soldiers to adhere to the bottom line, and has made it public. ”Director Jing told reporters that the more critical and sensitive a position is, the more it will face the test of resisting corruption and preventing change. Only by always keeping in mind the original intention and strictly adhering to the bottom line of law and discipline can one stand firm and upright in the face of temptation. After carefully reading the ledger, I noticed a phenomenon: the frequency of updating the ledger has been continuously decreasing, especially in recent times, there have been few updates. This indicates that our culture is getting better and better! ”The political commissar Yan of the brigade introduced that after continuous refinement, the discipline concept and anti-corruption determination of officers and soldiers have been significantly enhanced. Establishing a 'clean ledger' is not our first initiative. ”In a discussion and analysis of deepening political rectification, Political Commissar Yan told the officers and soldiers that there were measures to publicize production accounts in Yan'an back then. In 1942, the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the reclamation of Nanniwan organized special education, and officers and soldiers conducted self-examination and self correction in accordance with the "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention". The brigade party committee carefully publicized production accounts, and members of the party committee lived in thatched huts and ate black beans with soldiers. The troops formed a fine style of unity and integrity among officers and soldiers during the reclamation. In 1954, the 359th Brigade was incorporated into the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. In 1982, the Alar Reclamation Area suffered a major flood disaster, and they were ordered to open all the war ready grain warehouses to provide relief to the affected people. The relief food distributed is no different from the accounts of the grain depot; The disaster relief supplies handled by the officers and soldiers have no one to hide a single needle or thread. From publicizing production accounts to establishing a 'clean ledger', the trend of integrity has lasted for a long time and paved the way. The reporter visited the coast of the East China Sea along the northwest border and saw Officer Li from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department writing a report on his work and integrity at a naval escort detachment. He summarized in the article as follows: "If you hold on to your original intention, you can resist temptation; if you can't hold on, you will be captured by greed." The reporter learned that at important moments such as officer promotion, soldier selection and promotion, evaluation and assessment, and commendation, the detachment will carry out original intention education to sweep away the "dust" on everyone's thinking. Once, Instructor Liu from a certain ship received a local specialty product sent by a soldier's parents from their hometown. He immediately returned it intact and reported it to the organization according to regulations. In the subsequent educational class, he said, "Parents' hearts are warm when sending their children to join the army. If they accept these 'intentions', it will chill the hearts of parents." "Having a warning in the heart" has become self-awareness - respecting the law and the "power grid", guarding the "gate" of the original intention in the southern Anhui mountains, and training is in full swing. The 71st Group Army's Linfen Brigade, consisting of unmanned aerial vehicle teams, engineering blasting teams, and air defense teams, launched multiple attacks and successively overcame multiple training difficulties. Since the deepening of political training, the spirit and determination of officers and soldiers to overcome difficulties have become stronger, and hard work and practical actions have become a trend! ”When it comes to changes, the tourism planning and political commissar told reporters that with the continuous filling of clean and upright air, the orientation of educating and selecting people is more distinct, and the ecology of recognizing and employing people is clearer. Walking in the camp area, the supervision mailbox and problem feedback phone are highlighted in bold and red on the bulletin board; The closed-loop flowchart of soldiers' demands for "immediate response to complaints" shall be posted in a prominent place in the camp; The evaluation of achievements and awards is open and transparent, and the results are promptly disclosed and subject to supervision by officers and soldiers. In the view of the Planning and Political Commissar, these institutional measures are like setting up a "power grid" for officers and soldiers to respect the law and discipline, and a "gate" to safeguard their original intentions. This is not only a requirement of reality, but also a continuation of history. ”Following in the footsteps of the Planning and Political Commissar, the reporter walked into the Travel History Museum and listened to the commentator telling a story in front of the photo wall - in the fifth battle of the Korean War, the "Linfen Brigade" repelled enemy attacks seven times and annihilated more than 2000 enemy soldiers. At that time, with the successive victories on the battlefield, more and more American weapons and logistical supplies were seized. Faced with the difficulties of insufficient supplies and equipment, some people have started to be cautious - to replenish themselves before submitting, and even some newly enlisted soldiers feel that "arming myself is also for winning battles, not for personal gain". To harm the overall situation for personal gain. After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the Party Committee of the "Linfen Brigade" organized training on the Yichuan battlefield in conjunction with the "Three Antis" movement. Through checking ideology, work, fighting spirit, and stance, the disciplinary red line was clarified, the ideological defense line was strengthened, and officers and soldiers were helped to draw a clear line between public and private, and consciously abide by battlefield discipline. Nowadays, the officers and soldiers of the "Linfen Brigade" have already formed a consensus: discipline and rules are the "firewall" that safeguards the original intention. If we break through a little today and tomorrow, the original intention may be riddled with holes. As' power operates under the sunshine 'becomes the norm,' having a warning in the heart 'has gradually become the consciousness of officers and soldiers in various units. Not long ago, a certain unit of the Rocket Force organized immersive warning education for key positions such as the Chief of Staff and Engineering Supervision Personnel. The political commissar named and praised an assistant responsible for engineering bidding. During the bidding process, this assistant withstood the test and firmly refused to be lured by a local engineering contractor. In the education class, the assistant reported his feelings to everyone: "When I saw the gifts from the merchant, the oath and the warning engraved in my heart were all vividly remembered. I realized soberly that 'reaching out' is shameful and terrifying." "Casting a shield for oneself" is a continuous tradition - with "no delusions inside" and "no reckless actions outside", the auditorium of the Army Engineering University in Nanjing, Jiangsu is fully occupied. On the platform, Qian Qihu, the founder of the theory of modern Chinese protection engineering and an academician of the CAE Member, combined his own life experience to tell the story of his original intention for the new students of the 2025 level of the school, inspiring everyone to serve the country with a strong military. Academician Qian is dedicated to serving the public, never seeking personal gain, and has long supported impoverished students. In 2019, he fully donated the 8 million yuan prize money from the highest national science and technology award. After class, the new students had a lively discussion. These young prospective officers deeply understand that to forge a shield for the country, one must first "forge a shield for oneself". Only by forging a strong "shield" against corruption and degeneration can one resist the interference of material desires and wholeheartedly practice the original intention of serving the country. Inviting Academician Qian to tell the students the story of their original aspirations is to help them fasten the first button of the military and make sticking to their original aspirations the guiding principle of their lives. ”The school leaders said. Visiting military camps, reporters found that each unit with outstanding achievements attaches great importance to fastening the ideological buttons of young officers and soldiers. During the interview, it happened that a certain army brigade was organizing a party class on "Remembering Traditional Words and Original Aspirations". The base of this tour is located in economically prosperous Shanghai. More than 90 years ago, there was a large number of underground workers of the Party active there. In class, their original stories deeply touched the soldiers. In 1931, Qin Bangli, an outstanding "red merchant" of our party, was appointed by Chen Yun to start his business in Shanghai with two gold bars. He used his business identity as a cover to establish a secret transportation station and raise funds and strategic materials. Afterwards, he used a pseudonym to open "Lianhe Xing" in Hong Kong, ostensibly engaged in commercial activities, but actually serving as a secret contact point and fund and material turnover station for the party in Hong Kong. He always regards assets and profits as the property of the party and does not seek personal gain. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hong Kong fell. On the small pavilion of the "United Front", Qin Bangli rolled up all the funds into small rolls and hid them in small pockets inside his vest, disguised as refugees, beggars, and even monks, and marched all the way towards Chongqing, where the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China was located. After six months and crossing eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers, Qin Bangli finally arrived in Chongqing and handed over a considerable amount of funds hidden in his vest to the organization. The story of 'Lianhe Xing' tells the integrity and original aspirations of the older generation of Communist Party members, and their choices set a model for us to learn from. ”Reviewing history, Director Li of the Political Work Department of the brigade made a vivid analogy - in ancient times, when observing the sun and using a sundial to measure the hour, only when the sundial was upright could the precise shadow of the sun be measured. This phenomenon is known as the "straight mark" of standing. The original intention is like this straight standard, and integrity is the foundation for maintaining it. Only by adhering to integrity amidst various temptations and standing with an upright heart can the "shadow" of one's original intention remain precise. (New Society)
