Current political reporter Xu Xiaonan

Only by unremitting innovation can we better adhere to it.

In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, planned by Dalian Daily, Dalian News Media Group, the Party School of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee, the Party Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, and the Dalian Military Sub-district jointly launched the column "100 Faces of Dalian in the Centenary of the Founding of the Party", which was simultaneously published in Dalian Daily and the WeChat public account of "Daguan News". From the publication of the first article "Guan Xiangying's Spirit of Struggle" on February 4 to the 100th article "Song Shifa: The Developer of the First Steel Ball in New China" on October 4, it took a total of 8 months. The column has received widespread attention and recognition from all walks of life.

A reader said: "The column '100 Dalian Faces in the Centenary of the Founding of the Party' is planned early, has high intentions, is creative enough, has great influence, and has good results, and in resonates with readers, it pays tribute to the centennial style of the centennial party and embodies the responsibility and feelings of the party newspaper." "There is also an old comrade who carefully collected 100 sample newspapers of the column, bound into a book, copied and sent to relatives and friends to collect, he also specially gave me a copy through the newspaper colleagues, and put forward valuable suggestions for this column, hoping that the column will be published as soon as possible.

As the host of the column, in the process of editing and collecting manuscripts, I truly felt the spirit of successive generations of Communist Party members who regarded death as a homecoming, stubbornly struggled, made unremitting struggles, selfless dedication, and forged ahead, and truly felt that our party has always adhered to the original intention and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese and the people, and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

In the "100 Faces of Dalian", Guan Xiangying, Fu Jingyang, Jin Boyang, Liu Guangdian... During the war years, these revolutionary martyrs who came out of the Dalian area threw their heads and spilled their blood, sacrificing their lives for the cause of revolutionary victory and national liberation. Wu Yunduo, Zhao Guilan, Tian Guiying, Ji Lanxiang... After the founding of New China, Dalian gave birth to a number of exemplary figures, and in them, they epitomized the great character of Communist Party members, flashing their personality charm and unique light. Qian Lingxi, Qu Bochuan, Zhang Cunhao, Qi Faxuan... These outstanding scientists, who bear the motherland in mind and serve the people, bravely climb the peak, dare to be the first, pursue the truth, strictly administer their studies, indifferent to fame and fortune, and devote themselves to research, they have stood up the backbone of national rejuvenation with the spirit of great scientists.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "All the way forward, we must not forget the road we have traveled; no matter how far we go and go to the glorious future, we cannot forget the past we have traveled and why we started." "Over the past 100 years, a number of outstanding Communist Party members have emerged in dalian, harvesting golden dreams with sickles, forging firm faith with hammers, leading the people to explore in the dark, forging ahead in pioneering, and composing a magnificent triumphant song of national liberation and modernization with blood and life, loyalty and dedication. They are the models of the times, the heroes of the nation, the eternal memory of the city, and the vivid interpretation of the spirit of Dalian.

Social environment changes, public opinion ecology changes, news presentation methods with each passing day, as a traditional mainstream media party newspaper, only unremitting innovation, can be said to be better adhered to. And high-quality content is always a magic weapon to enhance the influence and appeal of the party newspaper, and it is our confidence to "change" with "unchanged".

November 1 this year marks the 76th anniversary of the founding of Dalian Daily, and I have been a journalist at Dalian Daily for 21 years. As a reporter of the party newspaper and current politics, only by practicing his foot, eyesight, brainpower, and pen strength in a down-to-earth manner, and having light in his heart and feelings in his pen, can he truly undertake the mission and tasks entrusted to the reporters of the party newspaper in the new era. No matter when and where, party newspaper people must be "the disseminators of the party's policy propositions, the recorders of the times, the promoters of social progress, and the watchmen of fairness and justice", on the way forward, our original intention will always shine, and the mission will always be glorious!
