The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China decided to focus on leading cadres at or above the county level and carry out the theme education of "staying true to our original aspiration and remembering our mission" throughout the party. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 70th year of our party's governance nationwide. It is timely to carry out this themed education at this moment. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has issued opinions on carrying out the theme education of "staying true to our original aspiration and remembering our mission" throughout the Party. Today's meeting is to mobilize and deploy the whole party to carry out this theme education.
Below, I will discuss three questions.
1、 Fully recognize the significant importance of conducting thematic education
To seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation is the original aspiration and mission of the CPC, and the fundamental motivation to encourage generations of CPC to continue their heroic struggle. The launch of this theme education is a major deployment made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to coordinate the great struggle, great project, great cause, and great dream. It has significant and far-reaching significance for promoting the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the strategic layout of the "Four Comprehensives", winning the victory of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, achieving the great victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Firstly, conducting this themed education is an urgent need to arm the entire Party with the ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for us to establish the Party and the country. Since its birth, the CPC has clearly written Marxism on its own banner. Our party has never wavered in our firm belief in Marxism, whether in times of prosperity or adversity. Since the reform and opening up, our Party has successively carried out the activities of Party consolidation, "Three Emphasis" education, advanced nature education, learning and practicing the Scientific Outlook on Development, and mass line education practice, to promote the normalization and institutionalization of "two learning and one doing" learning and education, and to constantly strengthen the theoretical learning, education, and armed work of the Party through the combination of centralized education and regular economic education. In the new era, our party has responded to the new requirements of the times and established the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. As theoretical innovation advances, theoretical armament must follow suit.
At present, some party members and cadres still have a considerable gap in theoretical learning compared to the requirements of the Party Central Committee, and have not gone deep, deep, and practical. The purpose of carrying out this theme education is to adhere to the principles of building the Party with ideology and strengthening the Party with theory, to promote the integration of learning, thinking, and application, and to unify knowledge, belief, and action. It aims to promote comprehensive and systematic learning, in-depth thinking, and practical learning among Party members and cadres, continuously enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four confidences", and achieve the "two safeguards", to build a solid foundation of faith, supplement spiritual calcium, and stabilize the ideological direction.
Secondly, conducting this themed education is an urgent need to promote the construction of the Party in the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have adhered to the principle of the Party being in charge of the Party and strictly governing the Party comprehensively. We have been problem oriented, taking the rectification of the "Four Winds" as a breakthrough point, focusing on solving prominent problems within the Party, opposing corruption with thunderous force, putting an end to some unhealthy practices that were previously considered difficult to stop, overcoming some common and stubborn diseases, and significantly improving the Party and political conduct.
Comprehensively and strictly governing the Party is always on the way. The "four major tests" facing our party are long-term and complex, and the "four dangers" we face are sharp and severe. The prominent problems of impure ideology, politics, organization, and work style within the party have not been fundamentally resolved. It should also be noted that the "Four Winds" problem is rooted in the tree, and formalism and bureaucracy are still prominent. To carry out this theme education is to conscientiously implement the general requirements of Party building in the new era, go to the problem, resolutely tackle it with the courage to scrape the bones and heal the wounds, and persevere in tenacity, fight against all problems that affect the progressiveness of the Party and weaken the purity of the Party, and strive to build our Party stronger and stronger.
Thirdly, conducting this themed education is an urgent need to maintain the close ties between the Party and the people. The people are the greatest confidence of our party's governance, the solid foundation of our republic, and the fundamental basis for strengthening the party and rejuvenating the country. Our party comes from the people, is born for the people, and prospers because of the people. We must always be in touch with the people, share joys and sorrows with them, and unite and struggle with them. Every Communist Party member must understand that the Party has no special interests other than the interests of the people, and all of its work is aimed at achieving, maintaining, and developing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people; The people are the creators of history and the true heroes. We must believe in and rely on the people; We will always be ordinary members of the working people and must maintain flesh and blood ties with the people.
At present, some party members and cadres are not providing practical, attentive, and diligent services to the people, and are detached from the masses. The purpose of carrying out this theme education is to continue educating and guiding the vast number of party members and cadres to consciously practice the fundamental purpose of the party, deeply root the mass viewpoint and mass line in their thoughts, and concretely implement them in their actions. We will focus on solving the most concerned and realistic interests of the masses, continuously enhance the trust and confidence of the people in the party, and build the most reliable class and mass foundation for the long-term governance of the party.
Fourthly, conducting this themed education is an urgent need to achieve the goals and tasks set by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The "two centenary goals" put forward at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are the concentrated embodiment of the people's yearning for a better life, and the most important and realistic mission of the contemporary CPC. Next year, we will strive to achieve the first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. That will be an exciting and significant moment in Chinese history and even in the history of human development. The closer we get to our goal, the more it is necessary for all Party members to enhance their confidence, unite their efforts, maintain a sense of crisis, strengthen their fighting spirit, and calmly respond to various risks and challenges. Nowadays, the external environment is complex, risks and challenges are severe, and unstable and uncertain factors have significantly increased. To achieve the grand goals set by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and accomplish the arduous tasks of reform, development, and stability, the entire party needs to make even more arduous and challenging efforts.
At present, some party members and cadres have a weak entrepreneurial spirit and insufficient sense of responsibility. The purpose of carrying out this theme education is to educate and guide the vast number of party members and cadres to carry forward revolutionary traditions and excellent work styles, unite and lead the people to turn the magnificent blueprint drawn by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China into a beautiful reality step by step.
It should be emphasized that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The special significance of carrying out the theme education of "staying true to our original aspiration and keeping our mission in mind" at this important time is that no matter how far we go, we cannot forget the path we came from. A few days ago, I went to Yudu, Jiangxi to visit the starting point of the Long March of the Central Red Army. The purpose was to commemorate the turbulent years when the Party Central Committee and the Central Red Army fought bloody battles in the Soviet area, remember where the red regime came from, how the New China was established, and not forget history and our original aspirations. Now, we are embarking on a new Long March to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Party members and cadres must bear in mind the Party's ideals, beliefs, and fundamental purposes, promote the great spirit of the Long March, and carry forward the fighting spirit of the revolutionary war era that dares to fight and is not afraid of difficulties. They must be brave enough to overcome various difficulties, dangers, risks, and challenges, and strive to achieve new victories for socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

2. and Accurately Grasp the Objectives and Requirements of Thematic Education
The Party Central Committee has made clear regulations on the general requirements, objectives, tasks, methods and steps of this theme education. It is necessary to accurately grasp the spirit of the Party Central Committee, combine the actual conditions of the region, departments and units, aim at the goals, and actively promote them to ensure that the expected results are achieved.
first, we should conscientiously implement the general requirements. The general requirements of "keeping the original intention, undertaking the mission, finding the gap, and grasping the implementation" are put forward in accordance with the task of party building in the new era, in view of the outstanding problems existing in the party, and in combination with the characteristics of this theme education.
To keep the original aspiration is to keep in mind the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, to stick to the original aspiration with firm ideals and beliefs, and to keep in mind that the people's yearning for a better life is our goal; to nourish the original aspiration with sincere people's feelings, and never forget that our party comes from the people, Rooted in the people, the support and support of the people is the inexhaustible source of strength for our victory; practice with a solid public servant consciousness, always remember that the people are the food and clothing parents of the Communists, and the Communists are the servants of the people. They can never be divorced from the masses, despise the masses, or ignore the sufferings of the masses.
To undertake the mission is to keep in mind the historical mission of our party to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, be brave to take responsibility, take the initiative, plan the cause with scientific ideas, long-term vision and pragmatic style; maintain the spirit of struggle, dare to face risks and challenges, know the heavy burden, overcome difficulties, and overcome all difficulties and obstacles on the way forward with indomitable will and selfless courage; increase experience and wisdom in practice and experience, and strengthen your muscles and bones and talents in the wind and rain and the world.
To find the gap is to compare the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, the party constitution and party rules, the new expectations of the people, the advanced models and the examples around us, adhere to high standards and strict requirements, and find out what gaps exist in strengthening the "Four Consciousness", strengthening the "four self-confidence", and achieving the "two maintenance, find out what gaps exist in awe, fear, and bottom line, find out what gaps exist in the views of the masses, the positions of the masses, the feelings of the masses, and serving the masses, and find out what gaps exist in ideological awareness, ability and quality, and moral cultivation. What are the gaps in style and image, and targeted rectification.
To grasp implementation is to transform the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era into practical actions to promote reform, development, stability and party building, and to turn the original mission into the spirit of party members and cadres to forge ahead, pioneer and innovate, and work hard., The conscious action of real hard work, vigorously guard against formalism and bureaucracy, promote the party's line, principles and policies to take root, and promote the solution of outstanding problems that the people strongly reflect, continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness and security.
"Keeping the original aspiration, undertaking the mission, finding gaps, and grasping implementation" is an interrelated whole, which must be fully grasped and run through the entire process of thematic education.
Second, firmly grasp the target task. The fundamental task of carrying out this theme education is to thoroughly study and implement the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, temper the political character of loyalty, cleanliness and responsibility, and unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to work together to realize the great dream. The specific goals are to gain from theoretical study, to be baptized in ideology and politics, to be responsible for entrepreneurship, to serve the people, to solve difficult problems, and to set an example of honesty and integrity. This goal and task embodies the party's basic requirements for the ideology, politics, style, ability, and clean government of party members and cadres in the new era.
Theoretical study is rewarding. The focus is to educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to make new progress on the basis of the original study, deepen their understanding of the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the major policies of the Party Central Committee, learn thoroughly, understand and integrate, and enhance implementation Consciousness and firmness, improve the ability to use the party's innovative theory to guide practice and promote work.
Ideological and political baptism, the focus is to educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to strengthen their belief in Marxism and socialism with Chinese characteristics, inherit the red gene, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four confidences", and achieve the "two" Maintain ", consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in ideology, politics and action, and always be loyal to the party, the people, and Marxism.
The key point is to educate and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres with a strong sense of political responsibility and historical mission, to maintain the attitude of seizing the day and striving for success, and the spirit of struggle that the more difficult and dangerous the more forward, to grasp the implementation of the work with the spirit of hammering nails, and to resolutely abandon all negative behaviors such as protecting one's life, muddling along, perfunctory responsibilities, and lazy administration, and striving to create achievements that can stand the test of practice.
To solve problems in serving the people, the key point is to educate and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres to stick to the people's stand, establish a people-centered development concept, enhance their feelings with the people, consciously want to be together and work together with the people, and strive to solve the worries and worries of the masses, so as to win the trust of the people for the actual results of serving the people and fulfilling their duties for the people.
To set an example of honesty and integrity, the key point is to educate and guide the broad masses of party members and cadres to maintain the political character of being pragmatic and honest for the people, correctly handle the relationship between public and private, righteousness and benefit, right and wrong, affection and law, pro-Qing, frugality and extravagance, bitterness and happiness, and gain and loss, consciously fight against the idea of privilege and the phenomenon of privilege, resolutely prevent and oppose corruption, be innocent officials, clean, clean and clean, clean, clean, clean, clean, and honest.

Third, implement key measures. This thematic education is not divided into stages and links. It is not to lower the standards, but to put forward higher requirements. All localities, departments, and units should carry out their work creatively in the light of reality, carry out study and education, investigation and research, inspection of problems, and rectification and reform throughout the whole process of thematic education, and strive to achieve the best results.
Some of the prominent problems in the Party are, at their root, ideological problems. Since the Yan'an Rectification Movement, our party has carried out all concentrated education activities, starting with ideological education. To carry out this thematic education, we should strengthen the theoretical armed forces, focus on solving the ideological root problems, organize party members and cadres to read the original works, learn the original texts, understand the principles, consciously align the tables, and calibrate the deviations in time. We should take the form of theoretical study center group study and holding reading classes, and conduct discussions and exchanges on different topics. It is necessary to take various forms to carry out in-depth revolutionary traditional education, situation and policy education, advanced model education and warning education, so as to enhance the pertinence, effectiveness and appeal of learning and education. It is necessary to publicize those advanced models who uphold ideals and beliefs, maintain a lofty realm, stick to their original mission, and dare to take on actions, so as to form a good fashion of learning and striving to be advanced.
"One word cannot be practiced, and all volumes are empty." It is necessary to educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to understand the people's sentiments, grasp the facts, figure out what the problem is and where the crux is, and come up with practical and hard measures to solve the problem. Investigation and research should pay attention to actual results, so that the process of investigation becomes a process of deepening the understanding of the party's innovative theory, a process of maintaining flesh-and-blood ties with the people, and a process of promoting the development of the cause. It is necessary to prevent research for the sake of research, to prevent research in the form of "starting a car, meeting a room, speaking and reading manuscripts", and to prevent gathering research and "show" research.
The courage to face up to problems and correct mistakes is a distinctive feature and advantage of our party. It is necessary to educate party members and cadres to use the spirit of self-revolution with the blade inward, listen to opinions extensively, carefully examine and reflect, find out the problems, dig deep into the root causes, and clarify the direction of efforts and improvement measures. When examining problems, we should prevent them from becoming too big and scratching their heads, avoid the important and the trivial, and avoid the real and the empty. To prevent the problems pointed out by the superior from replacing the problems found by oneself, the team problems from replacing the personal problems, the other people's problems from replacing the ideological and political problems with the work and business problems, and the old problems from replacing the new problems. In view of the problems found out, we should suit the remedy to the case and effectively solve the problems.
"People don't know what's wrong with them. If they know it, they can't change it. They have no courage." The word "change" should be carried out throughout the whole process. If it can be changed immediately, the time limit and requirements should be clearly defined, and the rectification should be carried out on schedule. If it cannot be solved at the moment, we should keep an eye on it. We should continuously deepen our understanding, enhance our consciousness, clarify the stage objectives and make continuous rectification. The implementation of rectification and reform should prevent anticlimactic and procrastination, prevent paper rectification and false rectification, prevent simple accountability of grass-roots cadres to replace the implementation of rectification and reform responsibilities, and prevent filling in forms and reporting at various levels in the name of rectification and reform, so as to increase the burden on the grass-roots level. It is necessary to combine the development of thematic education with the establishment of a correct employment orientation, evaluate the political, ideological, work style, and ability of leading bodies and leading cadres, promote and use cadres in a timely manner, and resolutely adjust and deal with cadres who are disloyal to the party, do not engage in politics, and do not act as officials, so as to form a good political ecology in which the superior are superior, the mediocre are inferior, and the inferior are eliminated.
In recent years, in response to the concerns of the masses, we have successively made special efforts to rectify public funds for eating and drinking, excessive provision of buses, and indiscriminate construction of buildings and halls, and achieved remarkable results. The special rectification incision is small, the force is accurate and the effect is good. In this thematic education, carrying out special rectification is an important starting point, and we must pay close attention to the whole process. In addition to the unified deployment of the Party Central Committee, all regions, departments and units must specifically list the outstanding problems that need to be rectified and conduct centralized management. The situation of the special rectification should be notified to the party members, cadres and the masses in an appropriate way, and the violations of discipline and law found in the special rectification should be seriously investigated and dealt.
Before the end of the theme education, the leading groups at or above the county level should hold a special democratic life meeting to seriously carry out criticism and self-criticism. Self-criticism should see people see things and see thoughts, and mutual criticism should be true to the problem, so as to achieve the effect of red face sweating, detoxification and treatment. We must have the mind to be happy when we hear it, to be able to listen to different opinions, and to tolerate sharp criticism.

3. strengthen the leadership of thematic education
This thematic education has tight time, heavy tasks and high requirements. The party committees (party groups) of all regions, departments and units should attach great importance to it, enhance their sense of responsibility and urgency, strengthen organizational leadership, strengthen supervision and guidance, and improve the quality of thematic education.
This theme education was carried out under the leadership of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and the Central Theme Education Leading Group and its office were established. The member units of the leading group should play a functional role and form a joint effort. Party committees (Party groups) at all levels should shoulder the main responsibility, and the main leading comrades should shoulder the responsibility of the first responsible person. Members of the party committee (party group) must earnestly perform the "one post with two responsibilities" and strengthen guidance and supervision in the field of responsibility. It is necessary to give full play to the guiding role of the competent departments of the industry system to the industry system. Leading organs and leading cadres should learn one step first, learn a little deeper, reform first, and reform a little more. At the same time, they should shoulder the responsibility of leadership and guidance, and do a good job in the theme education of the party organizations of their subordinate units. We should seriously criticize those who carry out thematic education passively and perfunctorily, and organize and deal with those who go out of shape and have serious problems.
Party committees (party groups) at all levels should strengthen supervision and guidance. The central guidance group should carry out itinerant guidance and strengthen the supervision and guidance of thematic education in all regions, departments and units. The party committees of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and the party groups (party committees) of the departments in charge of the industry system should send itinerant guidance groups. Supervision work should be classified guidance, precise policy, to prevent one-size-fits-all, one-pot cooking. It is necessary to respect the main role of the party committees (party groups) of all regions, departments and units, rely on the party committees (party groups) to carry out their work, and promptly report the supervision situation to the party committees (party groups) and feedback existing problems.
Propaganda and public opinion should play a guiding role. We should actively publicize the Party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment, and publicize the significance and actual results of the theme education. It is necessary to publicize positive models, publicize credible and learable advanced figures around party members and cadres, and promote a number of good experiences that can be replicated and popularized. It is necessary to deeply analyze the negative examples, use cases to make clear the law and discipline, promote rectification and reform, and play a warning role.
We should adhere to the two hands to promote, and effectively prevent "two skins". All regions, departments and units must adhere to the center and serve the overall situation, combine the development of thematic education with the completion of various tasks of reform, development and stability, and do a good job in stabilizing growth, promoting reform, adjusting structure, benefiting people's livelihood, preventing risks, and maintaining stability. The combination of various tasks is combined with what the Party Central Committee is doing to transform the enthusiasm of party members and cadres into the actual results of overcoming difficulties and starting a business. It is necessary to guard against formalism and bureaucracy, educate and guide party members and cadres to establish a correct view of political achievements, do solid work, and change their work style. The theme education itself should focus on practical results and solve substantive problems. It is necessary to carry out thematic education in a good style of work, predict in advance, effectively prevent, and resolutely overcome all kinds of formalism that may arise.
