On January 26, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission announced that Zhou Jiangyong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang provincial Party committee and former Secretary of the Hangzhou municipal Party committee, was "double opened". The circular pointed out that Zhou Jiangyong lost his ideals and beliefs, deviated from the "two maintenance", had indifferent political consciousness, publicly obeyed the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, linked with capital, supported the disorderly expansion of capital, engaged in superstitious activities, deliberately opposed organizational review, illegally equipped with security personnel and official vehicles, illegally received huge amounts of property together with his relatives, and engaged in family corruption Zhou Jiangyong was born in a peasant family and grew into a deputy provincial cadre under the cultivation of the organization. He should have cherished the rare career opportunities and opportunities of the times, but in the process of job promotion, he lost his ideals and beliefs and deviated from his original intention. As he said in his confession, "I reflect on myself, my ideals and beliefs cannot be shaken, and my original heart cannot be forgotten. This is the lesson of my blood." It is no accident that the expression "loss of ideals and beliefs" frequently appears in the notification of discipline and law violating cadres. This bloody lesson is not only Zhou Jiangyong's own, but also an alarm bell of "don't make future generations mourn for future generations". *** "The most fundamental reason why heroes and models can go through fire and water, give up their lives, work tirelessly, be clean and aboveboard is that they have a persistent pursuit and adherence to their ideals and beliefs. They have chosen Marxism, stood in a team, and worked tirelessly for it all their life. In contrast, those degenerates and corrupt elements, the reason why they left The most fundamental thing is that our ideals and beliefs have been shaken, and we have relaxed our fighting spirit, forgotten our identity and abandoned our loyalty in the face of life and death tests, interest temptations, difficulties and setbacks. " Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual pillar and political soul of Communists and the "calcium" of Communists' spirit. Adhering to the spiritual pursuit of Communists has always been the fundamental for Communists to settle down. If the ideals and beliefs are shaken, the defense line will collapse, the position will be lost, and the "immunity" to resist corrosion will be fundamentally lost. The correct relationship between right and wrong, public and private, righteousness and benefit, organization and individual, power and responsibility can not be clarified. All kinds of derailment and leakage are inevitable. Looking at the party members and leading cadres investigated and punished in recent years, no matter how many forms of violation of discipline and law, the root cause is that the spiritual pillar of ideals and beliefs has collapsed. Today, although the test of ideals and beliefs is not as straightforward as in the war years, it can still distinguish the advantages and disadvantages. The "four tests" and "four dangers" facing our party are no simpler than those in the war years. But in the eyes of a few people, ideals and beliefs can't be seen or touched. They can be put in the bookcase and used to support the scene. That is, they are very far away from themselves. History and reality tell us that ideals and beliefs are never illusory. At the critical moment, we will see clearly and determine a person's life direction. Ideals and beliefs are persuasive only when they are seen in action. Firm ideals and beliefs are neither achieved overnight nor once and for all. They should be honed at night in the honest work for the party's people's cause, tested in the beating in the storm, cultivated in the cultivation of the feeling of "one branch and one leaf is always related", and cultivated in resisting temptation and constantly struggling with their own selfish thoughts and negative slack. It is a lifelong task to strengthen ideals and beliefs, which requires constant practice, faith and adherence for a lifetime. (outlook new era)
