Discipline is the political life of a Communist Party member

Discipline is like a navigator's compass, a firm anchor in the political life of Communist Party members, and a anchor to ensure their steady progress in the political waves.

What is the connotation of discipline, its importance? When Baidu checked, it was clear and simple.

But the people who really figure it out are not in the majority.

The connotation of discipline is by no means simple!

Only when you touch the "minefield" of discipline and face the "warning letter" handed over by the discipline enforcement department, the shock and vigilance will make you deeply understand the heavy weight of the word "discipline".

When it comes to the core of discipline, we can't help but ponder:

Why do some people ask the truth of their hearts when they are completely defeated?

Why did those cadres, as members of the Communist Party, run into bloody encounters in the face of the party's discipline and bring themselves to the brink of collapse?

When thinking about this problem, the author found some truth from the following three aspects:

First, when examining the lofty tradition of the Communists in abiding by discipline, it is not difficult for us to find a remarkable and historically significant phenomenon: At critical junctures in history, Chairman Mao Zedong always took the lead in setting an example and personally led the singing of the popular song "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention."

"Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" was written by Mao Zedong in the years of heroic struggle in Jinggangshan. It is not only a solid cornerstone for our army to gradually grow from weak and mature from immaturity in the long river of history, but also a needle that leads our army to break the waves and move forward, ensuring that we always stick to our original intention and forge ahead in the long journey.

After the victory of the Chinese Revolution, "Why did Mao Zedong take the lead in singing the song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" at a critical moment in history?"

It is not difficult for people to forget that in those years, in order to eliminate the factional consequences brought about by the "Cultural Revolution" and promote the political stability of the whole country, Chairman Mao Zedong resolutely made the major decision of "reassigning the commanders of the eight major military regions." When announcing this decision, Mao Zedong took the lead in singing the song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions";

In the struggle to smash Lin Biao's counterrevolutionary incident, Mao Zedong talked with the party, government, and military leaders he met along the way, and once again took the lead in singing the song "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention......

What is the profound connotation of Mao Zedong's move?

Many articles, interpreting this.

The author believes that at critical moments in history, Mao Zedong was always able to stand at the height of the times, gain insight into the laws of history, and grasp the pulse of the times.

He knew very well that only by strengthening the building of party discipline can we ensure the unity and unity of the party, gather powerful forces, and push forward the revolutionary cause continuously. Therefore, at major historical moments, he always took the lead in singing the song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", conveyed the party's discipline requirements with his singing, and reminded the majority of party members and cadres to keep a clear head at all times, strictly abide by the party's discipline, and contribute their own strength to the revolutionary cause.

At the same time, Mao Zedong also knew very well that the party's discipline building was not an overnight thing, and it required long-term persistence and hard work. Therefore, he always repeatedly emphasized the importance of the party's discipline building in different historical periods, constantly put forward new requirements, and promoted the continuous development of the party's discipline building. This spirit of perseverance has not only won the trust and support of the masses of the people for our party, but also laid a solid foundation for our party's cause.

In today's new historical period, we still need to be like Mao Zedong, always adhere to the bottom line of the party's discipline and constantly improve the level of the party's discipline building. Only in this way can we ensure the unity and unity of the party, gather strong strength, and work hard to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Second, since General Secretary Xi Jinping took office as the general secretary of the party, he has always led the whole party in strict discipline education at critical moments in history.

Recently, I have studied the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping who have repeatedly emphasized the need to pay special attention to the party's discipline education since the beginning of this year, and understood the profound truth that discipline is a major event related to the life and death of the party.

On January 8, 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to take the opportunity of studying and implementing the newly revised disciplinary regulations to carry out a centralized discipline education in the whole party.

In March, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Hunan: organize and carry out party discipline study and education, guide party members and cadres to learn discipline, know discipline, know discipline, understand discipline, and abide by discipline, and urge leading cadres to establish a correct view of power.

In April, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again pointed out during his inspection in Chongqing: to carry out party discipline study and education, and guide party members and cadres to truly transform discipline and rules into political consciousness, ideological consciousness, and action consciousness.

In many important speeches, especially in the in-depth analysis of the current situation of party style and clean government construction, General Secretary Xi Jinping has particularly emphasized the need to strictly enforce party discipline.

Studying the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, we have a deep understanding:

The reason why discipline is a major matter that has a bearing on the life and death of the party is that it is not only the lifeline of the party, but also the source of the party's strength. Only with strict discipline can the party's cohesion and combat effectiveness be effectively guaranteed; If discipline is relaxed, the party's organization will be weakened and the party's strength will be weakened.

Therefore, we must deeply understand the importance of discipline, always adhere to the bottom line of the party's discipline, and resolutely safeguard the seriousness and authority of the party's discipline. Only in this way can we ensure the unity of the Party, ensure the prosperity of the Party's cause, and ensure that the Party will always be a strong leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Third, the book "Questioning" (written by Ding Jie) tells us: Why is discipline "the anchor of the political life of Communist Party members"?

Published in 2017 by the Party School Press of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and written by Ding Jie, the book "Questioning" delves into the importance of discipline in the political lives of Communist Party members.

Under the arrangement of the discipline inspection department at a higher level, Ding Jie reviewed more than 600 corruption case files, had face-to-face talks with 28 fallen Communist Party members, and wrote a long oral documentary work "Questioning" on this basis. This is a shocking contemporary "Crime and Punishment".

Most of the characters in the book were dazzling successful people, and almost all of them were punished by party discipline for violating discipline, and some became prisoners.

These characters, male or female, high-ranking officials or grassroots, have different starting points and different experiences, but they have one thing in common, once they have power, ignore party discipline and state law, and let the negative factors in human nature run wild, their life endings are all zero. Their journey is astonishing and jaw-dropping......

One has to ask:

What kind of magic has pushed these capable elites to this point?

The answer can be found everywhere in the book "Follow-up"!

There is a saying: if you don't make up one stitch, ten stitches are difficult to sew!

Why not in life?

In this book, through vivid cases and profound analysis, Ding Jie reveals the key role of discipline in maintaining the political sobriety of Communist Party members, strengthening ideals and beliefs, and standardizing words and deeds.

The book uses vivid villains to tell us:

It is precisely because of strict discipline and restraint that Communist Party members can keep a clear head in a complex and changeable environment, always stick to their original aspiration and mission, and make unremitting efforts for the cause of the party and the people.

Therefore, discipline is not only the "anchor of the sea" in the political life of Communist Party members, but also an important magic weapon for them to always maintain their true political qualities.

In recommending the book, writer Februaryhe said: "Today's anti-corruption efforts are unprecedented, unprecedented in history...... Such a 'marathon' that is always on the road...... Listening to such a text by a secretary of a grassroots discipline inspection commission who is anxious, uneasy, and has more experience is beneficial to others, to oneself, to the public, to one's privacy, to one's family, and to the country. ”

Today, I really don't know how many people are in the mix, and how many people are beginning to wake up......

Let's listen to Ding Jie's "365 stories and 365 miles"!
