Party discipline is an important guarantee for maintaining party unity and ensuring the implementation of the party's line. Marx and Engels pointed out: "We must absolutely maintain the party's discipline now, otherwise we will accomplish nothing." Lenin pointed out in his book "Left-wing Infantile Diseases in the Production Movement" that proletarian political parties must have extremely strict concentration and iron discipline in the whole struggle to seize political power, consolidate proletarian dictatorship and build socialism. Party constitution, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, pointed out: "Party organizations must strictly implement and maintain Party discipline, and party member must consciously accept Party discipline."
All cadres in party member must abide by the Party's rules. Regardless of the position, they are equal before the party's discipline. In this respect, revolutionary instructors and leaders are examples for us to learn from. Since the Yan 'an period, especially after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), people at home and abroad have given countless gifts to Mao Zedong. Only a few pieces, such as the briefcase sent by Prince Sihanouk and the inkstone sent by Qi Baishi, were kept by Chairman Mao for his own use, and the others were handed over to the government for registration. Comrade Liu Shaoqi insists on abiding by the law and discipline, being strict with himself and never doing anything special. His children go to school, go shopping and visit parks, and never use buses, let alone his private car. At 196 1, when Wang gave birth to a baby, the staff thought she could take a special bus and leave the hospital. However, Liu Shaoqi strongly disagreed, so the staff had to pick it up by bus and paid the fare as required.
When Tung Chee-hwa was the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, he took the lead in abiding by the law. In the gift declaration form on page 3 of the property declaration form, he frankly declared the gifts such as "Two Heroes Golden Pen" and "Deng Xiaoping Photo Album" presented by relevant people. As for the gifts he wants to keep, he will pay according to the appraisal of the Ministry of Finance, and the proceeds will be donated to charity.
Is there no freedom to restrain yourself like this? On the surface, the two are incompatible: there is no freedom if you are bound; When you talk about freedom, you are not bound. In fact, both can't live without each other. Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized: "Discipline and freedom are unity of opposites, inseparable and indispensable." Disdiscipline will lead to chaos and people will lose their freedom and happiness. If road traffic is not restricted by "stopping at a red light", there will be no freedom to "walk" and a car accident will occur. Any society, no matter which country, is inseparable from discipline. Shakespeare said very profoundly: "Just remove the strings of discipline and listen! How many harsh noises will come out, and everything is contradictory. " A philosopher said, "Man's freedom lies not only in doing what he wants to do, but in doing what he doesn't want to do forever." If party member cadres pursue "freedom" beyond discipline and do some bad things that violate the law and discipline, they will eventually be punished by discipline. Such people have no freedom.
Zheng Daofang, former deputy director of Sichuan Provincial Communications Department, was ruined by corruption. The news media also issued a long report on this topic, entitled "The greedy son angered his biological mother". Zheng Daofang is a capable person. It has made great contributions to the expressway construction under the unique and complicated landform conditions in the southwest mountainous areas of China. The tunnel engineering theory put forward in his 280,000-word monograph "Study on Ventilation Mode of Highway Tunnel" has high academic and economic value, and also enjoys the special contribution expert allowance of the State Council. He should have a better future, but he was sentenced to life imprisonment for committing an amazing crime of accepting bribes of tens of millions of yuan. His wife Gao was sentenced to 15 years and his son was sentenced to 12 years. The seized and frozen RMB 8,654.38+300,000, US$ 84, 500 yuan and HK$ 45,000 shall be recovered and turned over to the state treasury. After the incident, Zheng Popo could not face this fact and committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. Zheng's 80-year-old mother also died with a grudge. Although Zheng's mother is a rural woman living in a small mountain village, she knows everything. She has told her son many times, "I am old and ill, but I can still farm and live a decent life." You don't have to worry about my living expenses. " "Son, you don't know that the bigger your position, the tighter your mother's heart is for you. So many corrupt officials were shot and sentenced. They are children. I am really sorry for Gao Tang's mother! " Zheng's mother taught her son with blood and tears, hoping that his son would be a "good official", but unfortunately she did not alert her son to his greed. After Zheng was arrested, his brother was afraid that the old man couldn't stand it, so he lied to the old man that it was an unjust case and let him out as long as he returned the money he shouldn't have paid. Hearing this, the old man was anxious, thinking and thinking about the money to sell gardenias to his son. Every morning, the old man always sells flowers at the gate of a middle school with his great-granddaughter under 7 years old to earn money, but the old man suddenly sees a report on his son taking bribes 1000 million on TV, and her spiritual world suddenly collapses. She was so angry that she didn't come up. The reporter interviewed Zheng Daofang and talked with him about his loving mother. Zheng was heartbroken and said, "I am ashamed that my white-haired mother is under the grave ..." Every severely punished corrupt element finally felt remorse. Zhou Hang, former director of Zhejiang Provincial Administration of Medicine, was punished for taking bribes. When he was transferred to the judicial organs, he lamented that I am the director of the drug administration and have handled countless kinds of drugs, but I just don't regret it! Yang, former member of the Standing Committee of Linhai Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda, wrote in the introspection materials: "If you don't obey the law and get carried away, you will make a big mistake. Think about it, if you can often look at party discipline and regulations, learn legal knowledge, think about the majesty of the law, think about the repeated warnings of the party organization, and think about the expectations of your loved ones, you will not go astray now. " Lin, former deputy secretary of Xianju County Party Committee, said that in recent years, he turned a blind eye to the provisions on building a clean government for leading cadres, so that interests drowned out the principle of party spirit and became a corrupt element. Finally, he bring disgrace to oneself, the world. Some comrades say that "there are too many rules to remember", while others say that "the rules are too strict to be implemented". Is it too cumbersome to stipulate? Absolutely not. Ordinary people should also learn to drive, but there are hundreds of rules to follow. A staff member of the party and government organs, especially leading cadres, is responsible for governing the country and society. Is it too much to ask you to follow the code of conduct? Besides, many regulations are common-sense requirements, just like driving without running a red light. Even if you don't make rules, you should know and implement them.
A person who is loyal to the party's cause, does not do anything harmful to the party and the people, and does not do anything shameful to his conscience will feel at ease and sleep well at night. On the other hand, those who don't obey the law and collect ill-gotten gains are often uneasy, and they are not practical when there is trouble. It is a temporary scenery, a temporary joy for a lifetime of pain. The head of a state-owned enterprise in the south was once respected and admired. He also has a warm little home, full of happiness. However, due to lax ideological reform and weak sense of discipline, they can't stand the temptation of money, embezzle public funds and accept bribes. After his colleague was killed, he was surrounded by remorse, hatred and fear every day: he was afraid that the past scenery would never return, and he was even more afraid of the ruthless sanctions of the law. You can only sleep for 2-3 hours by sleeping pills every day. Later, he fled abroad and went to Southeast Asia, North America and other countries 10, just like a lost dog. He can't forget his past, he can't forget that he is a sinner, and he lives in the shadow of the past every day, plus the pain of being away from his loved ones. Every day is like suffering in prison, and it feels like years. "One sin, the whole family suffers", which not only makes them ashamed to see "Jiangdong elders", but also makes their parents, wives and children scared for three generations, suffering from mental torture and unable to stand up straight.
Party member cadres should "do something", but also "do something", and "do something" can guarantee "do something". To "do something wrong", we must establish a sense of "being afraid" and have a sense of fear. Ji Xiaolan, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, famously said: To be a man, remember the word "fear". Pierre Hanna, former French Minister of Justice, said: "Fear is the beginning of reason." American political philosopher Ahrend Hanna believes that "fear is an essential emotion for survival." There is a proverb in Sikkim: "Fear and shame can keep people from doing evil." Liu Xiang said in the Western Han Dynasty: "A wise master has three fears, one is that he doesn't know his position, the other is that he is arrogant, and the third is that he is afraid of being famous in the world." As cadres in party member, we should always use the word "fear" to restrain ourselves, for fear of breaking the law and discipline and losing face to the Party and the people. In case of possible violation of party discipline and political discipline, we should have a thin ice mentality and do our best to prevent problems from happening. Comrade Deng Xiaoping has a wonderful exposition: "It is not good to be cautious in party member, nor is it good to be too courageous. It is always good to be afraid of the party, the masses and the democratic parties. " Those * * producers who "drive tigers and leopards with unique heroes, and no heroes are afraid of bears" have so many "fears" in order to improve themselves. Proletarian revolutionaries had "three fears" before their death: fear of no achievements in their work, fear of extravagance and waste, and fear of inviting guests and giving gifts. "The official is afraid and the industry has achieved something." If we ignore the party discipline and state law, treat it as a scarecrow to scare birds, indulge our own selfish desires, be seduced by wealth, be fascinated by money, be fascinated by beauty, and one day we will "hit the rocks and sink." Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and no one can be spared through the ages. The punishment process also shows people that in socialist China, there are absolutely no special people who have absolute freedom outside the party discipline and state law, and there are absolutely no leading cadres who can be free from corruption. As long as he violates the criminal law, no matter who he is or how high his position is, he will be punished as he deserves.
Being an official should be happy, but he is still disciplined. Because of discipline, you never get property that doesn't belong to you. You are spotless, clean and calm, and your clean hands are completely upright. You don't have to fear the punishment of law and discipline from the bottom of your heart, you don't have to bear the moral judgment, and you don't have to be very careful to guard against the light or dark, just or unjust, predictable or unpredictable, spiritual or material blows. You are so relaxed, comfortable and chic. Because of discipline, you will not be implicated and fettered by those with ulterior motives, your career will be smooth and your future will be even greater. When those corrupt elements are scheming with ulterior motives, racking their brains to cover up their crimes and regretting their mistakes bitterly ... you are doing what you think should be done in obscurity, happy and smooth. Because of discipline, you won't suffer from mental and physical diseases because of inner fears and obscene words and deeds, and you will enjoy life healthily and happily. "It's not strange to knock at the door in the middle of the night if you don't do anything wrong", but all honest officials firmly believe this old China proverb. Therefore, no matter what the anti-corruption situation is, you can walk the streets, live in an orderly way and travel without worry. In your heart, there is only clear sky in Wan Li, infinite spring, and there is not a cloud. Facing the east, west, north and south winds, your heart is selfless and relaxed.
Abiding by the law and discipline requires lasting endurance, which is also a lifelong subject for party member cadres. Lu Wanli, the former director of Guizhou Provincial Communications Department, who was sentenced to death for accepting bribes and corruption, reviewed his corruption experience in a 23-page repentance book: when he first took the leadership position, he was cautious, but after a long time, he gradually became less alert and sensitive, and his discrimination and self-control weakened in the face of corruption and corrosion. In the end, there was "anti-corruption fatigue" and the reputation was ruined. Many corrupt elements investigated can be said to have achieved the same goal as Lu Wanli. This also warns people that once a person takes a leadership position, regardless of his subjective will, all kinds of temptations often follow: money is stuffed into your pocket, property is sent to your home, and beautiful women are pushed into your arms. At first, you may be full of energy with your eyes wide open, but if you keep your eyes open for a long time, some people's vision will often be blurred and their thoughts will often shake. Slowly, the line between right and wrong began to be blurred, the concept of honor and disgrace began to be misplaced, and disaster came. Some young and middle-aged cadres who had high hopes from the Party and the people, and even some veteran comrades who entered the city in sandals and were nearing retirement, were defeated in the tug-of-war between corruption and anti-corruption and became sinners of history and the people, with profound lessons.
As cadres in party member, we should consciously strengthen discipline and be strict with ourselves in all aspects. Take care of your head, your mouth, your hands and your feet, and turn discipline and law into a high degree of self-discipline, so that you can always be vigilant. We must unswervingly adhere to the party's basic theory and line, maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee, and safeguard the authority of the central leading collective. We must resolutely implement the resolutions and decisions of the central government and leading organs of the party and government at all levels, work creatively in light of the actual situation, ask for instructions on major issues, and do not act arbitrarily. We must not allow the localities and departments under our management to become "private plots" that do not listen to the unified command of the central authorities, are not bound by party organizations, and are not subject to the supervision of party member. When implementing relevant policies, we must never engage in so-called "flexibility" and engage in "policies at the top and policies at the bottom". We should take the overall situation into consideration, consciously overcome the tendency of localism, departmentalism and decentralism, and order it to be banned. We must adhere to the principle of democratic centralism, adhere to and improve the responsibility system of collective leadership and individual division of labor, the introduction of major measures, the appointment and removal of important personnel, the arrangement of important projects and activities, and the use of large sums of money. We must discuss and decide collectively, and we are not allowed to act arbitrarily and put ourselves above the organization. The more we deepen the reform, the less we can play "edge ball", exploit the "loophole" of the policy, and don't take money that we shouldn't take. No matter whether you are in power or not, whether you are supervised or not, you must abide by the party's political discipline, organizational discipline, economic work discipline and mass work discipline in every word and deed. Consciously observing the party's discipline will turn heteronomy into self-discipline and then into one's own political accomplishment.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out in his speech "Unity depends on ideals and discipline": "How can we be United and organized as a big country? One depends on ideals and the other on discipline. Where there is organization, there is power. Without ideals and discipline, it's just like old China. How can our revolution succeed? How can our construction be successful? " The practice of reform and opening up shows that reform and opening up should not oppose serious party discipline and state law, and should not treat serious discipline as a "left" set. The party's discipline is extremely important. Its political function is to safeguard the unity and unity of the party, maintain its advanced nature and purity, enhance its cohesion and combat effectiveness, and ensure the realization of its program, line and tasks. The more reform and opening-up, the more we should strengthen the party's discipline, and party member cadres should always be self-disciplined.
