Draw a clear line between respecting and relying on officers and soldiers, and separating or even tormenting them
2024-11-04
The mass view is the stance and attitude of leading cadres towards the masses, reflecting a sentiment, a style, representing a value system, and a methodology. Solving the fundamental problem of "who to rely on and for whom" in military construction from an ideological perspective, effectively drawing a clear line between respecting and relying on officers and soldiers and separating or even tormenting them, correcting their actions externally and cultivating their hearts internally, firmly establishing the views of the masses, and implementing the mass line, is an important issue in promoting the deepening and implementation of political military construction in the new era. Qi is as brave as one, and the way of governance is also good. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in summarizing the experience of the people's army in winning battles that our army has always relied on the unity of officers and soldiers to achieve glorious victories. Respecting and relying on officers and soldiers is an important manifestation of the nature, purpose, and essence of the People's Army, as well as a glorious tradition and excellent style of our military. Looking back at the history of our military, the mortar flat firing technology during the Anti Japanese War, the "flying mines" and "earth tanks" during the Liberation War, as well as the famous "Guo Xingfu Teaching Method" later on, all relied on the special advantage of frontline officers and soldiers being the first to understand and the first to calculate, which effectively improved the training level and combat capability of the troops for a certain period of time. The vast number of officers and soldiers are at the forefront of building a strong and prosperous military, at the forefront of military struggle, and are the cognitive, practical, and creative subjects of military construction. They are the most dynamic and innovative group in our military, containing inexhaustible wisdom and strength. How clear is the canal? It's because there is a source of fresh water. Respect and rely on officers and soldiers, only then can officers and soldiers have motivation, grassroots have vitality, and allow all the wisdom of building troops to fully flow, and all the passion for a strong army to win battles to burst forth. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, regulations such as the "Outline for Grassroots Construction of the Military" and the "Regulations on Political Work in the Military" have been continuously revised and improved. Respecting and relying on officers and soldiers has become the fundamental principle for building and governing the military. In the practice of strengthening the military, the vast number of officers and soldiers have shown enthusiasm, played a leading role, and carried the heavy burden. Their initiative, creativity, and enthusiasm have been greatly mobilized, promoting historic achievements and changes in the cause of building a strong military in the new era. President Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Military Commission's Grassroots Construction Conference that we must adhere to the principle of putting grassroots first and soldiers first, fully respect the subject status and pioneering spirit of officers and soldiers, work with a deep affection for officers and soldiers, and resolutely overcome formalism and bureaucracy. However, some party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, regard grassroots officers and soldiers as management objects rather than relying on strength, do not attach much importance to the main role of officers and soldiers, and do not delegate enough power to grassroots. They are too strict in their control, too lenient in their management, and too meticulous in their assistance; Lack of trust in the cultivation of officers and soldiers, inaccurate grasp of ideological foundations, unclear understanding of real situations, and inability to thoroughly understand practical problems. These ideas of superiority, good feelings, and self righteous behavior affect the image of leadership organs and cadres themselves, affect the relationship with grassroots officers and soldiers, and affect the implementation of work. They will inevitably lead to a lack of vitality in grassroots construction, and even fall into the vicious circle of "if you don't trust me, I don't put in the effort; if you don't let go, I'll shake off; if you want to take over, I'll slack off". Glorious traditions cannot be lost, losing them means losing one's soul; Good work style cannot be changed, change will change its quality. In the new era, military construction, especially grassroots construction, faces many new situations and changes in terms of mission tasks, construction content, daily operation status, as well as the organizational form of the troops, the composition and structure of officers and soldiers, and the external social environment. To grow tall and strong, a tree must first be rooted in fertile soil. The more glorious the mission, the more arduous the task, and the greater the responsibility, the more leaders and cadres must always be vigilant about the "biggest danger" of "detachment from the masses", adhere to viewing officers and soldiers with a trusting, appreciative, and developmental perspective, step into the frontline of the grassroots, learn from officers and soldiers, and keep the construction of the military always vigorous and dynamic. Once separated from the main body of officers and soldiers and the active participation of the vast number of officers and soldiers, grassroots construction will become a water without source and a tree without roots. The Party's goal of building a strong military in the new era will be difficult to take root and bear fruit. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said that the reason why the People's Liberation Army was invincible and defeated the Kuomintang army, which was stronger than itself, was the high trust between superiors and subordinates. The highest level of trust originates from the Marxist view of the masses. Establishing and practicing a correct view of the masses is an important working method for leading cadres, as well as an important manifestation of their loyalty to officers and soldiers and excellent work style. Individual leading cadres who have left the grassroots and officers and soldiers, and are arrogant and domineering, can be traced back to the problem of the masses' perception. Only by drawing the power of truth from the "true scriptures" of Marxism, vigorously promoting the fine tradition of respecting cadres and loving soldiers, and uniting officers and soldiers, and taking education and training officers and soldiers, respecting and relying on officers and soldiers, and caring for officers and soldiers as the fundamental plan, and implementing the people-oriented concept in various fields and aspects of grassroots construction, can we maximize the intrinsic motivation of officers and soldiers to love the grassroots and dedicate themselves to the cause of building a strong military. The grassroots atmosphere is good, and the morale of the troops is high. Work style is an important foundation for promoting efficient implementation of work. Without a good work style as a guarantee, respecting and relying on officers and soldiers is just empty talk. For leaders and cadres at all levels, they should regularly go deep into the grassroots and officers and soldiers, respect the main position of officers and soldiers, open up democratic channels, sincerely accept criticism and supervision, listen to voices and suggestions, rectify the "command style, monopoly style, and movement style" approach to construction, ensure the right to arrange grassroots work, use personnel, and dispose of property, and strongly support grassroots autonomy in construction. At the same time, we should not only be "on the front line", but also "on the front line", empathize with the grassroots, consciously and voluntarily serve the grassroots, win trust and trust with equal respect, inspire innovation and creation with sincerity, and effectively unite the powerful force of unity and determination to win and concentrate on promoting development.
