Dear Premier Zhou Enlai. I was deeply shocked by his great personality and noble spirit! His personality, especially his spirit, is the perfect unity of the best cultural spirit of the Chinese nation and the lofty communist spirit. It is a concentrated expression of the ideal spirit of the Communists and the spirit of the Chinese times. Has eternal value. Therefore, I systematically elaborated on his spirit from eight aspects in more detail. As follows: 1. Positive and enterprising spirit. Zhou Enlai's life was a life of pursuing truth, advocating ideals, living endlessly, struggling, and making continuous progress. First of all, it is to pursue truth and advocate ideals. Zhou Enlai had a strong desire for truth when he was young. He witnessed China in trouble. At the age of only 13, he solemnly established his firm belief in studying "for the rise of China." In order to pursue the truth, although I have gone through many times, I am not discouraged. He traveled east to Japan and went to Europe for inspections. In his hesitation, he decided to develop "new ideas" and "began to compare all doctrines." Finally, he chose communism as a good way to save China. From then on, I firmly believed in communism. From being patriotic to leaning toward revolution to believing in and fighting for communism, he reflects his persistent spirit of pursuing truth and advocating ideals. Once the belief is established, it will be firmly believed and unswerving, and the whole body and mind will be devoted to the cause of communism, worrying about the suffering of the people and thinking about the future of the world until the last moment of life. Secondly, it is to never be satisfied and keep moving forward. In order to realize the lofty ideal of communism, Zhou Enlai stood at the forefront of the struggle at every historical stage of the Chinese revolution. During the period of the new-democratic revolution led by the party, we traveled east and west in search of truth, traveled north and south in search of liberation, raised the flag in Nanchang, circled in Xi'an, and fought in Chongqing... we went through countless hardships and obstacles, and made an immortal contribution to the liberation cause of the Chinese people. of merit. After the liberation of the country, as the prime minister of a country, he often encouraged each other with Comrade Deng Yingchao: we must study hard, adapt to the requirements of the times, keep up with the pace of the times, and stand at the forefront of the times. He often warned himself, "If you are not careful, you will be in danger of falling behind. You must work harder. Keep moving forward!" From Geneva to Bandung, he visited various countries; from Xishuangbanna to Tianshan, he went deep into various places; for the sake of the people To make the country rich and strong, he worked hard and searched repeatedly. Lying in his hospital bed, he was still planning the reunification of the motherland and the great cause of the four modernizations. His life was endless and his struggle was endless.

2. Hardworking and studious spirit. Zhou Enlai loved learning throughout his life, was good at learning, applied what he learned, constantly enriched himself, transformed himself, and then transformed society. First of all, it is eager to learn. Zhou En loved reading since childhood. He believes that "

It is a shame for a scholar to not know anything." "Books of sages and various subjects" must be read widely, and "study deeply and thoroughly" should not be "simply tasted and changed after seeing different things". Therefore, when he was studying at Fengtian Dongguan Model School, he often felt that the courses prescribed by the school could not satisfy his thirst for knowledge, so he used his spare time to go to the library and reading room to read a lot of books. Although he shouldered heavy responsibilities after joining the revolution, he never relaxed his studies for a moment. Whether it was the military years of revolutionary war preparations or the busy period of socialist construction, he did everything possible to squeeze in time to read, even on airplanes and trains, and he would not let go of the books. Secondly, be good at learning. Zhou Enlai was not only good at thinking and asking questions, and good at reasoning and comparison, but also good at learning from society. When he traveled across the ocean and went to Europe for a work-study program, in addition to studying at school, he also used his holidays to conduct social inspections. He wrote to his uncle in London: "Studying in London is not just about attending lectures. All phenomena in the city are subjects of study." The establishment of Zhou Enlai's world view, and even many important thoughts in revolutionary construction The formation of his career not only benefited from his extensive reading and dabbling in various kinds of knowledge, but also benefited from his knowledge-seeking method of learning from society and practice. Third, apply what you have learned. Zhou Enlai's poem "Facing the wall for ten years and trying to break it" concentratedly expresses his profound understanding and lifelong practice of the dialectical relationship between learning and application, knowledge and action, knowledge and practice. The young Zhou Enlai realized deeply that studying was not for personal fame and fortune, but for the rise and development of China. Applying what you have learned has become Zhou Enlai's lifelong thinking "set". It not only provided him with a method of learning, but also provided him with the motivation to pursue diligently, inspiring him to live and learn until he was old.

3. Be willing to be a public servant. Zhou Enlai's life was a life of serving the people. He regarded himself as a public servant of the people and regarded serving the people as the starting point of his work and his lifelong pursuit. First of all, we should regard the people as the masters of the country and ourselves as the public servants of the people. Putting the people as masters of the country is the ideological basis for his willingness to be a public servant of the people. What he thought of was that food, clothing, housing and transportation were provided by the people. He had no right to gain personal wealth, only the obligation to serve the people. He always appeared in front of the people as a public servant of the people, learned from the masses devoutly, served the masses sincerely, and most typically demonstrated the relationship between master and servant advocated by the Communists. This is also an important reason why he will always win the love of the people. Secondly, it is the starting point for serving the people and working for oneself. Zhou Enlai had the spiritual pursuit of being willing to "serve" when he was a boy, and he was willing to "serve" for the public silently, without sparing time and energy. When he completed the change in his world view and became a communist, he elevated the spirit of "service" to the realm of "serving the people wholeheartedly".

He emphasized that all our work is to serve the people, and we regard serving the people as our obligation. Wear the badge of "Serving the People" on our chest to alert ourselves at all times. When people encounter suffering, they often fall into painful self-blame. In 1973, he returned to Yan'an and witnessed the poverty of the people. He couldn't help but burst into tears and blamed himself sadly. I felt sorry for the people in the old area. In 1975, after major surgery, he was still concerned about the health of tin miners in Yunnan who were thousands of miles away. When he went to visit Comrade Tan Zhenlin when he was ill, he said: "I am not afraid of death. The ancients said that people live only seventy years old. I am already over seventy-seven years old, which can be considered a long life. But in the past twenty years At that time, we should build the country better and improve the people's lives. Only then can we feel at ease when we report to Marx. I always feel guilty and ashamed when I report to Marx. "This is such a noble state! His life was a life of serving the people selflessly, tirelessly and wholeheartedly. He is a model and role model for serving the people.

4. The spirit of unity and cooperation. Zhou Enlai had a broad mind, determined to draw the largest circle, make friends, be good at collaboration, and strive to unite most people to work together. First, be broad-minded. As early as the May 4th Movement, Zhou Enlai realized in the practice of struggle that revolution must unite the broad masses of all strata. After establishing the Marxist world view, I am even more convinced that the proletariat can finally liberate itself only by liberating all mankind. He warned young people to change their ideas and not to draw a line into a prison. To become a loner; we must "first draw the largest circle and unite hundreds of millions of people." He encouraged young people to have a spiritual spirit, that is, "dare to interact with others in the midst of thousands of troops, persuade and educate others, learn from others, and unite the majority of people to fight together." In practice, from Xi'an to Chongqing, from The reason why Bandung was able to go to Moscow with ease and unite all the people who could win over and cooperate with us was that he had a broad mind. Secondly, make friends. Zhou Enlai not only had the spirit and mind to "draw the largest circle", but also had the means to make a wide range of friends. From a young age, he was "good at socializing" and "loved friendship sincerely. He always tried his best to do charity work for his friends." After establishing the communist worldview,

he more consciously combined it with the great goal of realizing communism and made friends in all aspects and at multiple levels. From all parties and strata in the country to all political parties and strata in various countries internationally, they all try their best to transfer, thereby expanding the party's influence and expanding the ranks of allies. Third, be good at coordinating conflicts. Zhou Enlai believed that "unity is to unify the conflicting parties on the same point. Those who are good at unity are those who are good at unifying the contradictions on the same point." He is praised by the world as a person who is good at unifying contradictions. Whether in domestic affairs or diplomacy, he always strives to analyze the common interests between contradictory forces, and then strives for the conflicting parties to weigh the pros and cons, seek common ground while reserving differences, or promote common ground and suppress differences, or put aside differences and treat common interests. . In the history of the Communist Party of China, he is a master of creative coordination of contradictions. He has repeatedly solved intractable contradictions and pushed the Chinese revolution into new situations. He has repeatedly adjusted conflicts within the party, saved the party and the country from crises, safeguarded the unity of the party and the country, and made the party's cause invincible.

5. Truth-seeking and pragmatic spirit. Zhou Enlai's life was a life of seeking truth and pragmatism. He paid attention to reality, practiced practice, integrated theory with practice, and was extremely responsible for his career. First of all, it is to focus on reality. From his student days, Zhou Enlai gradually cultivated the excellent qualities of being practical, consistent in words and deeds, and seeking truth from facts. He believed that "Speak in words and act in deeds, without any pretense or interference from Chile." He advocated cultivating a "spirit of focusing on reality" and strongly advocated "freedom of thought, pragmatism in work, and truth in knowledge." After participating in the revolution, he more consciously applied Marxism to China's reality, solemnly declaring that "we should believe in the principles of communism and the two principles of class revolution and proletarian dictatorship, and the means of implementation should be appropriate to the times." . That is, everything starts from reality. He not only grasped the essence of Marxism early, but also consciously applied it to the practice of China's revolution and construction. He repeatedly advocated the need to "tell the truth, be honest, do practical things, and seek practical results." Creatively develop the party’s ideological line of seeking truth from facts. Secondly, we should adhere to the principle of integrating theory with practice. Zhou Enlai attached great importance to the understanding and development of Marxist theory, and even more to its application. He believes: "No matter what knowledge we seek, if we only seek a few ideas, we will not be able to achieve any goal. We must always do it in practice" and should "explain the theoretical basis of doctrine from practical issues." He firmly believes that the combination of theory and practice can truly solve problems, otherwise it is just empty talk and will not help. He called on young people to go among the masses, go into practice, and use the knowledge they have learned to adapt theory to practice and put the knowledge into practice. He adhered to this as his motto throughout his life and can be called a model of "flexible application" of theory. Third, be cautious and steady. Zhou Enlai developed the habit of being mature, prudent and pragmatic when he was young. Later, with the establishment of the idea of ??serving the people wholeheartedly, a truth-seeking and pragmatic spirit was gradually formed, and a high degree of responsibility for the cause and the people was formed. In the arduous process of exploring socialist construction, he always insisted on seeking truth from facts and insisted on combining subjective initiative with objective possibility. He opposed both conservatism and impetuous advancement, emphasizing the need for strong motivation and steady steps. Facing the reality of lagging behind, he advocated that we should be ambitious and catch up with the advanced level as soon as possible, but also proceed step by step and not reach the top in one step.

He insisted that all work should first carefully consider the interests of the people, and opposed bureaucracy that did not care about the people's sufferings. In the early 1960s, he often lay half in bed while ill, calculating and approving the country's food ration list, meticulously. His life was a cautious, steady, conscientious, truth-seeking and pragmatic life, and he was a veritable doer within the Communist Party of China.

6. Be brave in innovation. Zhou Enlai thought carefully and argued clearly, opposed superstition and blind obedience, dared to think independently, advocated science, and dared to innovate. First of all, it is to oppose superstition and blind obedience and dare to think independently. When Zhou Enlai was a student, he advocated careful thinking and discernment, and "probing deeply and thoroughly" to various theories. He dared to doubt Confucius' Confucianism, Jesus' teachings and Buddhist scriptures, advocated the elimination of superstition, and opposed blind obedience. He clearly distinguished the boundary between science and superstition, saying, "What is the difference between superstition and belief? The difference lies in whether the theories and methods they believe in can be used in actual tests. In other words, whether they are in line with the spirit of science." In fact, this is It puts forward the important proposition that practice is the criterion for testing truth, shining with the brilliance of Marxist historical materialism. After he became a Marxist, he more firmly advocated science, opposed superstition, and adhered to the scientific spirit of independence and seeking truth from facts. Secondly, be good at discovering and creating from mistakes. Zhou Enlai not only had the courage to make self-criticism, but was also good at making self-criticism, that is, when criticizing, "you must pay attention and organize, and make discoveries and creations." When he makes self-criticism, he is not satisfied with exposing, understanding, and correcting his own mistakes. Instead, he strives to discover valuable things and then gain knowledge in the process of checking the facts of mistakes, analyzing the reasons for making mistakes, and exploring measures to correct mistakes. created. Third, treat Marxism scientifically and dare to innovate. Zhou Enlai was good at combining Marxism with China's reality. He dared to innovate in the practice of guiding China's revolution and construction, constantly made theoretical generalizations, and made many contributions to the party's new democratic revolutionary theory and socialist construction theory. He answered theoretically earlier in the early days of the founding of the Party that the Chinese revolution must go through long-term arming. "A real revolution must have an extremely strong and organized revolutionary army." During the Great Revolution, he earlier raised the issue of arming workers and peasants. , the idea of ????people's war sprouted early and was actively practiced. During the Agrarian Revolution, he questioned the "city-centered theory" of the Communist International earlier. After the founding of New China, he continued to create new situations in the economic, united front, diplomacy, culture, education, science and technology work he led. This was all due to his scientific treatment of Marxism and his insistence on combining Marxism with China's specific practice. There is inheritance and development, which greatly enriches the theoretical treasure house of Mao Zedong Thought.

7. Be strict with self-discipline. Zhou Enlai was strict with himself and had the courage to self-reform, self-criticize, self-discipline, self-regulate, and consciously pass the "five passes" well. First, insist on self-transformation. Zhou Enlai believed that in order to transform the objective world, Communists must first transform their own subjective world. He vividly said, "We must treat thought remolding as air, it is necessary." This is because "the times are constantly advancing, and ideological transformation requires our thoughts not to fall behind, to keep up with the times, and to move forward at all times." He has a famous saying, "Live until you are old, learn until you are old, and transform until you are old." This is actually his motto and a true reflection of his self-cultivation and self-discipline. His life was a life of self-reflection, self-summary, carrying forward strengths, correcting shortcomings, and constantly improving himself. Secondly, it is the courage to criticize oneself. Zhou Enlai believed that in addition to learning and practice, the most important method of thought remolding is self-criticism. He believes that there is no perfect person in the world. People will always have shortcomings and will inevitably make mistakes. The only way to improve yourself is to constantly correct your mistakes. He once said, "Leadership's prestige is not improved by covering up mistakes but by correcting them." Therefore, he has always advocated that correction of shortcomings and mistakes should start from leaders, and self-criticism should start from leaders. It is precisely in this way that he encourages himself. Once he discovers his own mistakes, he always dares to face them squarely, repeatedly and openly criticizes himself, and strives to find the root causes from his own thoughts, styles, positions, opinions, and methods. He never makes excuses, let alone Blame others. He once said that if I write a book, I will write about the mistakes of my life. Throughout his life and reading through his works, his self-discipline spirit of daring to self-criticize is clearly visible. He is the most self-conscious, prolific and profound self-criticist among the leaders of the Communist Party of China. He can be called the leader of the Communist Party of China. An example of communist self-criticism. Third, consciously pass the "five passes" well. Zhou Enlai believed that self-reformation should put forward new tasks in response to the ever-changing new environment. He proposed that leading cadres must pass the "five tests" of ideology, politics, society, family and life. The first two levels are often discussed, but given new ideas, while the last three levels are newly proposed. Among them, regarding having a good relationship with relatives, it not only explains the importance of having a good relationship with relatives, but also puts forward ways to get through it well. He not only repeatedly advocated it, but also practiced it and set an example. He told his nephew not to reveal their uncle-nephew relationship. He warned his relatives to work on their own and not allow anything special. He set ten family rules. As for life, he was highly accomplished but not extravagant, and always maintained the hard and simple character of a proletarian revolutionary. There are many touching examples of frugality in his food, clothing and transportation, which are widely circulated among the people. He is a model of self-discipline for the Communists.

8. Selfless dedication.

Zhou Enlai's life was a life of magnanimity and selflessness, indifferent to fame and fortune, dedicated to the public service, devoted himself to death, and died. First of all, he is dedicated to serving the public and is indifferent to fame and fortune. When Zhou En came to the Central Soviet Area, although everyone recommended him to be the general political commissar of the Red Front Army because they were impressed by his talent, he refused. Instead, he emphasized Mao Zedong's experience and strengths and insisted on reappointing Mao Zedong as the general political commissar. At the Zunyi Conference, as one of the members of the "Three-person Group", while fully supporting Mao Zedong, he took the initiative to take responsibility and self-criticism to avoid possible deadlocks at the conference and ensure the success of the conference. After the meeting, as "the person entrusted by the party to make the final decision on military command", he consciously retreated to the position of assistant, allowing Mao Zedong to command the Red Army's military operations with full authority, ensuring that Mao Zedong's leadership position in the party's military was gradually established. . Secondly, we must take into account the overall situation and be tolerant to each other as a party. Zhou Enlai believed that "a leader should forget the insults he has suffered when necessary". In the complex environment of the Chinese revolution and in the whirlpool of intra-party struggles, he always endured humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens for the benefit of the party and the people. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, faced with various misunderstandings and even malicious slanders against him in the intra-party struggles, he responded with patience and silence, trying his best to maintain the unity of the party. During the period of socialist construction, when he was wrongly criticized for organizing the implementation of counter-advocacy, although he felt very depressed, he still tried hard to forget the humiliation he suffered, led the surrounding comrades to unite and work diligently, so as to minimize the losses caused by mistakes in the ideological line. . During the three difficult years, he faced many difficulties and complained a lot. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, even if some problems were not his responsibility, he took the initiative to take them on without any complaints, so that everyone could move forward. During the "Cultural Revolution", even though he was in a very difficult situation, he still showed the broad mind of a Communist who could tolerate things that are unacceptable in the world. On the one hand, he stood up to fight with his flesh and blood and turned the tide; on the other hand, he took the overall situation into consideration, endured humiliation, dealt with hardships, and supported the crisis to safeguard the best interests of the party and the country. Third, it is to devote oneself to one's work and die. Zhou Enlai once said, "The century of the people has arrived, so we should work hard like cattle, unite as one, and die serving the people." "Dying serving the people" was his lifelong pursuit and the best evaluation of his life. . For the liberation of the nation, he fought in the north and south, went through life and death, was not afraid of danger, and dealt with danger calmly. For the sake of the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, we have been working nervously and tirelessly for decades, taking care of all kinds of things every day. In 1972, even though he was suffering from cancer, he still stayed at his job despite being ill. Even in his seventies, he took on an overloaded workload. He often worked for several days and nights in a row. You’ll fall asleep next time”! In 1976, when he was dying, he woke up from a coma and said to the doctor, I have nothing to do here, so what are you still doing here? It's important to go and take care of other comrades, they need you more. During the more than half a century since he devoted himself to the revolution, he devoted his heart and soul to the people and devoted himself to the motherland, but he did not have himself. He truly became "a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the people" that the world admires.
