Carry forward the Yan'an spirit and inherit the revolutionary tradition
Yan'an is the cradle of New China. Chairman Mao spent 13 years here acting as the Party Central Committee. You can underestimate these 13 years. These 13 years are the 13 years that China has achieved victory, the 13 years that the Chinese people have worked hard to start a business, and the 13 years that China has undergone earth-shaking changes. These 13 years were the beginning of New China and the end of China's rule. In the past 13 years, a new spirit with far-reaching significance has emerged - the Yan'an spirit.
What is the Yan’an spirit? The Yan'an Spirit is the entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance and hard work, the spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly, the spirit of integrating theory with practice, the spirit of continuous innovation and innovation, and the ideological line of seeking truth from facts.
There are several stories on the Long March. The mother of a Red Army general shed tears when she saw that the soldiers were eating boiled bark, grass roots, and a piece of cowhide. She poured all the raw taro she had begged for into the pot. This turned out to be a rare meal for the soldiers. "The cowhide belt is three feet long. The prairie wasteland is good for dry food. The soups and vegetables are delicious. Bring it to mother to taste." The old mother listened to the "Cowhide Belt Song" written and sung by the soldiers, with tears on her face. He showed a happy smile.
Another time when we were crossing the grass, a guard who had just joined the party during the battle gave his 18-year-old life in order to rescue a file box that was stuck in the mud. As he gradually sank, he held a silver dollar tightly in his hand. This was the first and last time he paid party dues.
Isn’t this the spirit of Yan’an?
The Yan'an spirit gave us the most vivid education. The Yan'an spirit strengthened my faith. In those difficult years, the Anti-Japanese War University in Yan'an attracted countless people across the country. Although the conditions there were very difficult, such as open-air canteens, dormitories, etc., it was the party's principles and policies that attracted everyone. Everyone had lofty ideals and goals to strive for. , and it was precisely in this way that we all drove away Japanese imperialism and overthrew the Chiang dynasty. In the new era, we must strengthen our beliefs and continue to carry forward the style of hard work under the leadership of the party and with the people of the country. The Yan'an Spirit is the heirloom of the Party and a very precious spiritual wealth of our nation. To implement the spirit of the 16th National Congress and build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, we need to further carry forward the Yan'an Spirit, always persist in hard work, govern for the people, keep pace with the times, and pioneer and innovate. Carry forward the great Yan'an spirit, firm the correct political direction, never forget the essence of serving the people, keep in mind the spirit of seeking truth from facts and hard work, always maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members, study hard, work hard, and contribute to the socialism of the great motherland Contribution to construction.
The red journey of history was created by the revolutionary ancestors, and the red journey of the future will be created by our new generation. Therefore, we must not be ashamed of those martyrs who fought bloody battles for the Chinese revolution, and we must cherish the hard-won happy life today. We must carry forward the Yan'an spirit and use this spirit to guide our life journey, work hard, study hard, and do what General Secretary Hu hopes: study hard, live happily, make progress every day, and develop in an all-round way.
