Carry forward ＂Red Boat Spirit＂ and Achieve ＂Three Necessities＂

　　[New Era Words Initial Heart]

　　Just one week after the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader led The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) to Shanghai and Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, to pay tribute to the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and the Red Boat in Nanhu, Jiaxing, two places where our party dreamed of setting sail, and called on the whole party not to forget its initial intention, keep its mission in mind and strive forever, and to vigorously carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" in light of the characteristics of the times. Learn to understand and implement the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary Nanhu, vigorously carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" and achieve the "three musts".

　　We must keep in mind the history of party building, Do not forget your initiative mind, and strengthen our ideals and beliefs.

　　96 years ago, faced with the poverty-stricken modern China at that time and the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism weighing on the people of China, our Party, with the initial intention of seeking happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, set out from the Red Boat in Jiaxing Nanhu, and finally became "the potential to start a prairie fire" with "a single spark". Over the past 96 years, generation after generation of Communist party member has never changed its mind, never wavered in its determination, courageously fought for national independence and people’s liberation, realized national prosperity and national rejuvenation, fought bravely without fear of sacrifice, United and led the people through countless difficulties, overcame seemingly insurmountable difficulties one after another, won great struggles one after another, and pushed the cause of the party and the state to achieve historic achievements that attracted worldwide attention.

　　Remain true to our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind. At present, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. As a Communist party member who works at the grassroots level, in order to implement the spirit of the important speech of General Secretary Nanhu, we must review and remember the history of our party’s founding, understand our party’s initial heart from the history of the party’s founding, and understand our party’s mission from the arduous course of the party, achieve Do not forget your initiative mind, remember the mission, and always strengthen the ideals and beliefs of socialism and communism; We should constantly draw the strength of forging ahead from the glorious history of our party, stimulate the momentum of progress, and set the right direction for progress.

　　We must accurately grasp the rich connotation and spiritual essence of "Red Boat Spirit"

　　During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader summarized the "Red Boat Spirit" as "the pioneering spirit of creating the world and being the first; Firm ideals and indomitable spirit of struggle; The dedication of building the party for the public and loyalty for the people. " To vigorously carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" today, we must study and understand it comprehensively and systematically, and accurately grasp its rich connotation and spiritual essence. As the spiritual source of China revolution, the "Red Boat Spirit" has a long history with the changes of the times.

　　The pioneering spirit of pioneering the world, that is, in the early days of the founding of the Party, when the country was in frequent wars and internal and external troubles, or in the period of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" and in the new era of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we should solve the difficult problems in progress with the courage to face difficulties and the courage to push forward reforms. A firm ideal and indomitable spirit of struggle means that no matter in prosperity or adversity, no matter what setbacks the cause of the party and the country encounters, we must always overcome difficulties and overcome one obstacle after another with firm ideals, beliefs and will. The dedication of building the party for the public and being loyal to the people means that we should always take the people as the center, serve the people wholeheartedly, and always keep in mind the warmth and coldness of the people, whether in the period of seeking liberation for the people and independence for the nation, or in the current period of seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation.

　　We must closely integrate with the reality and promote the "Red Boat Spirit" to take root.

　　As the central city of Xiamen, Fujian Province, Siming District is the main meeting place of BRICS leaders in Xiamen this year, and won the title of "City of High-quality Innovation and Entrepreneurship" and "City of High-value Ecological Garden". This is not only a full affirmation of our work in the past period, but also a spur and encouragement to our next work. In recent years, we put forward the construction of "happiness thinking", the purpose of which is to adhere to the people-centered development thought, and at the same time, to maintain sustained economic development, to enable the masses to feel the fruits of development, to share the fruits of development, and to feel happiness. To study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Nanhu’s important speech and vigorously carry forward the "Red Boat Spirit" in the new era, we must closely combine our own work practice, promote the "Red Boat Spirit" to take root and lead all work to a new stage with the "Red Boat Spirit".

　　As the central city of the Special Economic Zone, we have always been strict with ourselves by "taking the lead and setting an example" and strive to explore the path of transformation and development. We will continue to firmly establish the awareness of "vanguard" and constantly improve the level of urban management according to the standards of "high-quality city of innovation and entrepreneurship" and "high-value city of ecological gardens".

　　The road ahead will never be smooth. From the fight against Typhoon Moranti in 2016 and the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, to Gulangyu’s application for the World Heritage, to the preparation and service of the meeting of the BRICS countries in Xiamen, all of them reflect the good tradition of the Communist party member, which is striving for excellence, overcoming difficulties, and striving to win. We will continue to strengthen the ideals and beliefs of cadres with the spirit of "Red Boat" and overcome all kinds of difficulties on the way forward with good spirit.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. In the future, we will continue to adhere to the people-centered development thinking, promote the protection and improvement of people’s livelihood with higher standards, take concrete projects as the starting point, speed up the shortcomings of people’s livelihood, and let the people get tangible benefits and share the fruits of reform and development.
