image of the government

Gao Zhetang arrived at the Municipal Party School. He first listened to a brief work report from Zhao Deliang, the executive vice-principal of the party school, and then called the other vice-principal Zhou Hanlin, saying that he wanted to discuss something with him alone.

Zhou Hanlin is forty-eight years old this year. He has a delicate and elegant appearance. Under his thick black eyebrows, he has a pair of medium-sized eyes in a thoughtful state. His expression is very unnatural and seems a bit reserved.

Speaking of Zhou Hanlin, Gao Zhetang had heard about it for a long time, but had never worked together. Gao Zhetang's understanding of Zhou Hanlin was mainly based on his quick and open thinking, good political achievements, and good reputation among officials and citizens, which aroused Gao Zhetang's interest in him.

It was an economic article he published in a party magazine after the world financial crisis in 2008.

During the financial turmoil, governments at all levels invested a large amount of money to ensure economic growth and ensure "eight". At that time, he proposed in an article that world-wide inflation would inevitably occur in two or three years, and suggested to the provincial party committee

Re-adjust the industrial structure across the province and pay special attention to people's livelihood issues...

To this day, when Gao Zhetang looked through his resume and saw such an article, he still felt deeply in his heart. He felt a tragic sigh that a horse with a thousand miles of horse is always there, but a bole is not always there.

Zhou Hanlin's official career can be summed up in one sentence: he started early and promoted slowly.

He was a cadre who worked his way up step by step, becoming a middle school Chinese teacher, commune deputy secretary, secretary, deputy county magistrate, and county magistrate.

He stayed in the same place for several years. Later, the provincial party committee implemented the slogan that cadres from provincial agencies go to local areas, and he was able to take up the post of deputy mayor of Omi City and concurrently served as the county party committee secretary of a county.

There is no doubt that Zhou Hanlin is a practical cadre. His way of being an official is "four no two", that is: not only for books, not for excellence, only for reality, not for fame, not for profit.

Just for the people.

In fact, he made political achievements soon after arriving in Omi City. Based on the actual situation of Omi City's jurisdiction, he vigorously promoted ideas and measures for the tourism industry and other emerging industries, and achieved very good results, so much so that he was transferred from the province to Omi.

In his second year as deputy mayor of the city, he was inspected by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee as a candidate for deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

However, because he was indifferent to the matter and did not carry out any aggressive activities, he was later replaced by others. In the end, for unknown reasons, the former deputy mayor was transferred to the Municipal Party School as deputy mayor.

The position of principal.

Regarding Zhou Hanlin's career experience, many people felt sorry for him. Some people even summed up for him while talking and laughing. There were two main reasons why it was difficult for him to go further and reach a higher level: first, he did not accept flattery and did not embrace

The second is to tell the truth and unintentionally violate official taboos. Of course, these reasons are related to his way of being an official. Integrity, fairness, and uprightness seem to be really difficult to integrate into a certain power magnetic field.

Of course, Zhou Hanlin is not perfect. Some people think that he also has two major shortcomings: first, he is too serious, his face is stern and unsmiling, and he even stipulates that the leading cadres below are not allowed to "visit" his office without official business; second, he is a bit domineering

.Once he sees something clearly, even if most people are opposed to it, he will fight against all opinions and stick to the end...

Gao Zhetang's visit to the party school today can be said to be a special trip for Zhou Hanlin. He wanted to see how stubborn this "unenterprising" cadre was, and at the same time confirm his own thoughts.

At this time, Gao Zhetang was sitting across from each other in the party school's small reception room. He surprisingly put on a kind smile and said calmly: "Vice President Zhou has been in the party school for five years, right?"

Zhou Hanlin hurriedly said: "Two years, transferred here in November of the year before last."

Gao Zhetang said "Oh". He saw Zhou Hanlin constantly wiping sweat, so he wiped the sweat symbolically. In fact, there was no sweat on his forehead. This action was entirely to close the distance with Zhou Hanlin.

As expected, Zhou Hanlin was no longer so reserved, and tried to ask a question: "Mayor Gao, are you here this time to learn about the cadres' return to study?"

Gao Zhetang did not answer, and remained silent for a while, as if talking to himself: "Vice President Zhou was... before?"

"Before the Foreign Economic and Technological Commission, I served as deputy director of the Political Research Center of the Provincial Foreign Economic and Technological Commission for nearly eight years..." Zhou Hanlin's eyes lit up. It was not that he had not studied the resume of the new mayor in front of him, and Gao Zhetang's

I have also heard about my work style for a long time. As long as I make achievements, I will always encourage those I like and spare no effort to support them.

After rambling for a while, Gao Zhetang glanced at Zhou Hanlin and suddenly asked him: "By the way, I heard that you said in the party class that Marxism has shortcomings and errors. Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Hanlin was shocked when he heard such a question. The strings in his mind became tighter and tighter. He realized that this was the mayor's true purpose. He felt a sudden realization, and an imperceptible trace of light flashed across his eyebrows.

He was disappointed, but he soon regained his composure. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief. His tone underwent a subtle change. He was still in awe, but less cautious, and said: "It is true.

.”

Gao Zhetang glanced at Zhou Hanlin and did not immediately answer the question. Instead, he calmly said after a while: "Then you can explain it to me."

Zhou Hanlin's voice seemed to be much louder and he said: "First of all, I have to declare that I believe in Marxism. However, just as if you are loyal to a person, you cannot lie to him or engage in deception, so the same is true for my understanding of Marxism.

.According to Marx's materialist dialectics, any living thing has a process of emergence, development, destruction, and replacement by another new life. It is this continuous cycle and sometimes even mutation movement that human society

Only in this way can we continue to develop forward. All ideological systems, political parties, and social forms have a process of emergence, development and demise. They are just a chain of movement in the long river of human history. To deny this conclusion is to deny it.

Marx’s theory of materialist dialectics and historical dialectics. At the same time, Marxist philosophy has a basic point of view, that is, everything must be divided into two. In this case, we cannot divide Marxist theory into one. Any theory has

Its limitations, for example, according to the analysis of the basic contradictions of capitalism in "Das Kapital", this contradictory movement will soon destroy capitalism. In fact, not only has capitalism not perished, but it has also developed new developments. Because Marx

Under the historical conditions at that time, it was not and impossible to imagine that capitalist production relations would make such a major adjustment to adapt to the development of productive forces. It is entirely possible for capitalist society to peacefully transition to communist society through such continuous adjustments. I firmly believe that

I believe that communism will definitely be realized, but I have different views on the ways to realize communism. I firmly believe in Marxism and believe that only by seeing the flaws and errors in this generally correct theory can we continue to develop and improve it so that

It conforms to and guides practice..."

When Gao Zhetang heard this, he was naturally shocked. To be honest, he had to admire the profound theoretical foundation and logical power of the person in front of him. Indeed, many party cadres currently have no energy and interest to study Marxist theory at all.

There is no belief in communism. Their so-called persistence is just a political discipline or professional need. However, today he is not asking this person to teach him a lesson, but to teach a general, and this general seems to be better than

I am more idealistic, which is not a good sign.

At this time, Gao Zhetang's face no longer had a kind smile, but became serious: "Hanlin, I know you have read a lot and have a good theory. However, you must know your identity, responsibilities and mission.

.Marxism can be said to have flaws in individual viewpoints, but it can never be said to have errors. Because Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology of our party. If this guiding ideology is wrong, then the overall goals of our Communist Party and the goals of each stage will be affected.

Aren't the goals all wrong? Academic discussions within a certain range are allowed, but they are not unrestricted..." Once such words introduce political issues, he must stand on the party's political stance. Of course, he must also

From a political perspective, cadres should be protected and those who should be guided should be guided.

Having said this, Gao Zhetang threw a cigarette to Zhou Hanlin, lit it himself, took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Hanlin, I'm here to see you today, firstly to talk about work, and secondly to communicate ideas.

, the municipal party committee attaches great importance to you, and you have performed well. You have high academic qualifications and real talents. What I admire especially is that after the world financial crisis in 2008, the government invested a lot of money. At that time,

Based on the theory you learned, you concluded that worldwide inflation will occur in two or three years, and suggested that the municipal party committee and government should focus on adjusting the industrial structure and pay special attention to people's livelihood issues. Now it seems that your judgment and suggestions are correct.

This shows that you stand higher than others and see farther than others. In addition, your ideas and measures to vigorously promote the tourism industry and other emerging industries based on Yongning’s local reality are also correct and effective. However, as a party member, you

, I hope you will pay attention to your political identity and political influence, apply theory to practice to verify it, and find answers to questions in practice, instead of spreading and publicizing your own opinions in party classes, do you understand?

?”

Zhou Hanlin thought for a moment and seemed to figure out something, so he said sincerely: "I am very grateful to Mayor Gao for giving me a vivid political lesson today. After your advice, I feel that I must deeply reflect on the principles of party spirit.

More attention must be paid to the political impact.”

Thirty-eight minutes later, the conversation finally ended. The first person to come out was Zhou Hanlin. The conversation made him energetic. His face, which was still sluggish when he entered, was now radiant...
