Spend money on the "blade" —— Beijing Armed Police Corps educates and guides officers and soldiers to become talents through healthy consumption ■ Wang Bin, Wu Yanlong, PLA Daily reporter an Puzhong Ma Zeyu painting "Instructor, it's really not impulsive to spend 2800 yuan on a pair of shoes. My family doesn't lack the money." Not long ago, Wang Lei, a squadron instructor of the Beijing Armed Police Corps, found that he did not recognize his kind reminder when talking with the new soldier Yi Lu. It turned out that Yi Lu's family was well-off and spent a lot of money before joining the army. There was no concept of diligence and thrift. "Yi Lu didn't steal or rob. It's understandable to spend his own money on high-end sneakers. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill." "both rich and poor should consume rationally. It's not advisable to spend their parents' money to meet their own luxury consumption"... In an education class, Wang Lei organized officers and soldiers to discuss this phenomenon, which led to the collision of different consumption ideas. "Where did everyone spend their allowance?" In the questionnaire survey conducted by a duty detachment of the Corps, nearly half of the officers and soldiers said that the cost of taking a vacation at home was more than that of one year in the army; Most married officers and soldiers admitted that apart from daily household expenses, the expenditure on interpersonal communication, leisure and entertainment accounted for the highest proportion. "Yin Peng spends at least a few hundred yuan during his meal, which is a little more than he expects to spend on his vacation..." it's too small for him to spend a few hundred yuan each time. "Living within our means and being diligent and frugal are the fine traditions of the Chinese nation. No matter how good living conditions are, we can't lose this good tradition, otherwise we will soon fall into the dilemma of making ends meet." Zhang Yong, director of the Political Work Department of a mobile detachment of the Corps, believes that only by developing good consumption habits can we help officers and soldiers grow healthily. To this end, on the one hand, they organized officers and men to go into the detachment history museum to learn the advanced deeds of building the army through diligence and thrift; On the one hand, conduct in-depth research to find out the current consumption situation of officers and soldiers, understand the psychological needs behind high consumption, identify the entry point of education, guide officers and soldiers to establish a correct consumption concept and spend money on the blade. —— Reasonable consumption. "Snacks are imported, cigarettes are high-end, and taxis are luxurious". This is the consumption view of Xiao Lei, a soldier of a squadron on duty, before joining the army. When he came to the military camp, he was not used to the hard work and thrift advocated by the army and had a feeling of resistance. Xi Kai, the instructor, approached him in time to have a heart to heart talk. Knowing that he was interested in photography and video editing, he encouraged him to join the news reporting team of the squadron to give full play to his strengths, and suggested him to "invest in learning". For half a year, Xiao Lei reasonably planned the use allowance, did not ask for money from his family, bought professional books at his own expense, and soon grew into a "business star" of the squadron. He was rated as an excellent soldier of "Four Haves" twice. Later, he wrote in his diary: "healthy consumption benefits a lifetime. The collective life of the army is warm but special. A detachment on duty is relatively remote, and online shopping once became the first choice for many people. During the epidemic prevention and control period, in order to reduce the risk of infection, online shopping needs to be reduced. Taking this as an opportunity, the detachment organized officers and men to check what items they must buy, what they should not buy and what they should not buy, and what they should not buy, so as to guide them to prevent and overcome impulsive consumption. Despite this small move, many officers and soldiers benefited from it, and some former "moonlight clan" also had a lot of savings. —— To the family. In the chemical prevention squadron of a mobile detachment, each officer and soldier transfers the rest of his salary or allowance to his family in addition to leaving part of his living expenses every month. "Although there is not much money, it represents my filial piety to my parents and my responsibility to my family. Every time I look at the transfer records, I will feel very happy!" Shi Yunchao, a "Post-00" volunteer, spent money without restraint before enlistment, which broke his parents' hearts. Now, like a new man, he changed his bad habits in the past and devoted his main energy to the work of the army. He not only ranked among the best in military training, but also served as a political instructor of the squadron. At the end of last year, he was rewarded by the detachment. Xiao Shi's parents are very happy when they see their children's progress. Zhang Songguang, a soldier of a detachment on duty, was influenced by the bad atmosphere before joining the army, blindly comparing, pursuing luxury and spending money like running water. Combined with the actual situation, the detachment integrated the education of consumption concept into the centralized education and regulation related to Internet and secret, and organized and carried out the special activity of "everyone has deposits, sending family members every month, and reading and sharing". During the activity, zhangsongguang changed his bad habit and insisted on sending money to his family every month. "Now the children are becoming more and more sensible. Thanks to the education and training of the army! Some time ago, our family renovated the house and expanded the scale of raising chickens. The days are getting more and more prosperous." A few days ago, zhangsongguang's father wrote a letter to the leader of the squadron and was pleased with his son's growth. —— Part of helping others. "If you help a person, you will reap happiness; if you help a group, you will reap happiness." This is the "happy motto" of luolinxiao, a soldier of the fourth squadron of an on duty detachment. After joining the army, Luo Linxiao has been silently subsidizing the poor students in her alma mater with her own allowance. Instructor lijianjiao learned the inside story in a talk, and the two hit it off. After planning, on December 1, 2021, the "Chuxin" student aid micro fund of Zijin Township School in Yi and Hui Autonomous County, Dali City, Yunnan Province was officially established by the regiment branch of the fourth squadron. The trickle merged into the sea. Since the establishment of the "Chuxin" micro fund for education, the squadron has set off an upsurge of thrift to help poor children. Cadres and backbones have taken the lead in making donations, and everyone has actively participated. "In this way, soldiers can fulfill their social responsibilities, which will have a positive and far-reaching impact on their lives." Lijianjiao introduced that soldiers now regard children in mountain schools as relatives. On holidays and rest days, they record blessing videos to encourage children to study hard and contribute to the construction of a beautiful home when they grow up. "Frugality is a treasure, and every bit of frugality is infinitely good." "one porridge and one meal is hard won; half a thread of perseverance makes material resources difficult"... Walking into each camp of the Corps, the reporter not only raised his eyes to see the simple slogans and warm hints everywhere, but also felt that the concept of "frugality and thrift are glorious and extravagance and waste are shameful" had been engraved in the hearts of the officers and men. Micro discussion record Thrift leads to success and extravagance leads to failure ■ Zhang Wen At present, some officers and soldiers are keen to talk about pomp and extravagance, resulting in the growth of hedonism and money worship, and even the problems of online gambling and online lending. Success comes from diligence and thrift, and failure comes from extravagance. Excessive consumption can only satisfy a temporary desire. Finally, it "hurts itself and pits relatives and friends", which is harmful to individual growth and progress and collective honor. Therefore, we must pay close attention to the practice of strict economy as well as the cultivation of style, get rid of arrogance and extravagance, cherish a bit of things, and make it a habit to save a grain of rice, a kilowatt hour of electricity, a drop of water and a penny. Advocating thrift and abstaining from extravagance also requires the rule of law first. From the aspects of system construction, policy formulation and daily management, we should gradually establish and improve the policy system and supervision mechanism of vigorously carrying forward the fine tradition, practicing strict economy and opposing waste, fundamentally curb the trend of extravagance and waste, and make the value concept of diligence and thrift really go deep into the hearts of the army and become a common practice.
