Integrate cleanliness and responsibility, diligence and integrity
2026-05-08
To become an official and engage in politics, one must be both clean and willing to take on responsibilities; We must be diligent in governance while also maintaining integrity and honesty. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that "cleanliness and responsibility, diligence and integrity should be unified, and we should be brave enough to shoulder heavy burdens, tackle tough problems, and take on hot potatoes." This important discourse provides fundamental guidance for Party members and cadres in the new era to establish themselves, perform their duties, and exercise their power. Deeply understanding and consciously practicing the important requirement of "integrating cleanliness and responsibility, diligence and integrity" is the essence of establishing and practicing the correct view of political achievements, and it is also an important guarantee for taking responsibility and forging ahead during the 15th Five Year Plan period. Cleanliness and responsibility are the concentrated manifestations of the political character and conscious actions of Party members and cadres. Cleanliness is the foundation of one's character and political career. It emphasizes building a strong ideological defense line, adhering to the red line of law and discipline, and rejecting all temptations and corruption. The ancient saying goes, "To be honest is not to be accepted, and to be clean is to be pure." Party members and cadres can only maintain their political nature as Communists by always adhering to the integrity of integrity, honing their integrity, and cultivating their integrity. Responsibility is the key to success and the essence of a mission, emphasizing the duty to protect the land, the responsibility to protect the land, and the responsibility to protect the land. As the saying goes, 'To avoid trouble for an official is a lifelong shame.' In the face of right and wrong, one must dare to wield the sword, in the face of crisis, one must dare to step forward, and in the face of mistakes, one must dare to take responsibility. Diligence and integrity are the behavioral norms for Party members and cadres to fulfill their duties, exercise their powers, and serve the people. Diligence in governance is the key to fulfilling duties and serving the people. Party members and cadres are required to fulfill their duties diligently, with a sense of responsibility of "never giving up", focusing their thoughts on "wanting to do things", reflecting their abilities in "being able to do things", and locking their goals in "getting things done". Clean governance is the virtue of being an official and the precepts of exercising power. It requires party members and cadres to respect power, manage power well, and use power with caution. Only by being honest and clean can we win the trust and support of the people, as the saying goes, 'Public understanding leads to righteousness, and integrity leads to power'. Cleanliness and responsibility, diligence and integrity are profound manifestations of dialectical materialism in establishing and practicing the correct view of political achievements. Firstly, they complement each other and are indispensable. Without a "clean" sense of responsibility, sometimes the harm is greater than not taking responsibility; Without a sense of responsibility and cleanliness, party members and cadres become mere "talkers" and "peace officials", seemingly with clean hands, but in reality, they hinder development and disappoint the people. Similarly, "clean governance" is the bottom line and guarantee of "diligent governance". Without clean and diligent governance, its "diligence" may become a tool for seeking personal gain; Diligence in governance "is the embodiment and ultimate destination of the value of" integrity ". Without the integrity of entrepreneurship, its" integrity "becomes hollow and powerless, and even becomes a" shield "for inaction. Secondly, they embody the dialectical unity of Marxism on motivation and effect, process and result, self-discipline and heteronomy. Cleanliness and integrity focus on internal moral self-discipline, which is the premise and norm of behavior; 'Responsibility' and 'diligence' focus on external practical actions and work effectiveness, which are the realization and verification of values. The two are unified in the practice of serving the people and in the dialectical process of transforming the objective world and the subjective world. At the same time, they embody the inherent logic of Chinese excellent traditional culture of self-cultivation, family harmony, governance, and world peace. Self cultivation "is the foundation, reflecting" cleanliness "and" integrity ", emphasizing the improvement of personal morality and the tempering of ethics; The goal is to govern the country and pacify the world, corresponding to the concepts of "responsibility" and "diligent governance", emphasizing the responsibility and actions of serving the people and the world. Integrating cleanliness with responsibility, diligence with integrity is not a simple combination of words, but a profound fusion of ideas and actions. To establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, it is necessary to raise awareness through integration. Fully understand that "cleanliness" and "responsibility" are not contradictory, and that "integrity" and "diligence" are not contradictory. "Cleanliness" is the "talisman" of "responsibility", and "integrity" is the "star" of "diligence". Taking "cleanliness" as the foundation for entrepreneurship and diligent performance of duties, one can not only step forward and face difficulties, but also strictly abide by rules and avoid pitfalls. Cultivate character through cultivation. Diligently sweep away the "dust of thoughts" and dwell on the "greed and harm", maintain a conscious and cautious attitude towards solitude and details when no one is around, and cultivate a "clean" character; Leading by example, working hard and shouldering heavy responsibilities, taking on the heaviest burden in serving high-quality development, gnawing on the hardest bones, and cultivating the character of "responsibility"; Abstain from formalism and bureaucracy, focus on investigating the situation, devising practical measures, and seeking practical results, and cultivate the character of "diligent governance"; Always maintain reverence for power, exercise power fairly, in accordance with the law, and with integrity, and cultivate the character of 'clean governance'. Show value in 'doing'. Focusing on the primary task of high-quality development, we will spare no effort to reform, promote development, and ensure stability, ensuring a good start in the 15th Five Year Plan. We will truly put the people in our hearts, work for the people, think about what the people think, respond to their urgent needs, solve their difficulties, and wholeheartedly benefit the people.
