The "August 1st Medal" was selected and awarded, the sharing and exchange activities of military and civilian youth models at the grass-roots level were carried out, and a meritorious and honorary commendation conference was held... On the occasion of the August 1st military day, many heroic models and advanced models of the whole army came to the front stage to receive organizational commendations and awards. This distinctive merit orientation provides strong positive energy, which will surely inspire the vast number of officers and soldiers to forge ahead on a new journey and make contributions to a new era, and glow with great enthusiasm and strong motivation to strive to build a strong army. At present, the regulations on honorary recognition of military meritorious deeds have been implemented. An important purpose of formulating this "regulation" is to strengthen the model demonstration, adhere to the merit orientation, pay attention to morality first, strictly grasp the standards, and discover and commend the models that can be learned and tracked around the officers and soldiers. The implementation of the regulations and the establishment of merit orientation can better inspire and guide the officers and soldiers to perform meritorious deeds in their positions and positions, and make new and greater contributions to the realization of the Chinese dream and the dream of building a strong military. Comrade Zhu De once said, "everyone in the army is in high spirits. You also want to make contributions, and I also want to make contributions. In this way, we will win the war." Encourage everyone to compete for the first place and make contributions. The most important thing is to clearly establish a merit orientation. The cause of building a strong military is the cause of every officer and soldier, and everyone needs to devote himself to it and work hard. If water excites stone, it will sound; if people excite ambition, it will be great. Every officer and soldier has a heart of honor and hopes to be recognized and affirmed by the organization. If officers and soldiers are rewarded for their achievements, they can not only greatly stimulate their work potential and create greater achievements, but also affect and drive more officers and soldiers to keep up with the advanced and learn from the typical, and improve their mental state and work effectiveness. To establish a clear merit orientation is to let merit speak for itself, ensure that the advanced are timely commended and rewarded, promoted and reused, and form a good atmosphere for everyone to strive for first-class performance, become a strong military pioneer, and become a hero model. Merit orientation is a fine tradition of our army. Our army has always advocated that meritorious people should wear "big red flowers" and be widely respected, so as to encourage generations of revolutionary soldiers to move forward bravely and perform meritorious deeds against the enemy. It is precisely because our army upholds honor and respects achievements. Whether it is the campaign to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, or the "fire line meritorious deeds" in the fight against floods and emergencies, and the fight against epidemics, it has spawned a number of heroic models who went through fire and water, risked their lives and forgot their lives, and created earth shattering and touching heroic feats. Merit orientation is a positive incentive. In real life, many units can make good use of and give play to this positive incentive role, stimulate the endogenous power, and promote the development of the cause. However, there are also individual units whose performance orientation is not clear enough. Some jobs only seek self-protection, only focus on accidents and mistakes, and believe that "as long as there is no accident, it is political achievement", which is difficult for people to act boldly; Some people do not use achievements to determine development and progress, and do balanced care and rank according to seniority, resulting in more work and less work, with or without honor; Others breed peace and accumulate malpractices. They cover their "black hats" and become officials for themselves. They are unwilling to do risky and responsible things, and it is difficult to create big achievements. An important reason for the occurrence of these problems is the failure to clearly establish a merit orientation. The army wants to fight. For soldiers, the greatest achievement is military achievements. After the founding of new China, more than 1600 people were awarded the rank of general. The reason why these founding generals are convincing lies in their great contributions and outstanding achievements. Facts have proved that those who have made contributions to the party and the country will eventually be rewarded and respected. In the border defense struggle, a "group of heroes defending the country and border areas" emerged. The Central Military Commission awarded Qi Fabao the honorary title of "leader of heroes defending the country and border areas", posthumously awarded Chen Hongjun the honorary title of "hero defending the country and border areas", and remembered first-class merit to Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan, and Wang zhuoran. This distinctive merit orientation not only fully affirmed the heroes and martyrs, but also greatly stimulated the consciousness and initiative of the vast number of officers and soldiers to defend the country and make contributions to the country. This year marks the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, which is only five years away from 100 years. In order to achieve the centenary goal of building the army, the time is urgent and the task is arduous. It is all the more necessary for our army to establish a clear merit orientation, and encourage the vast number of officers and soldiers to know the heavy load, work hard and work hard, and constantly push forward the cause of building a strong army in the new era. Party organizations at all levels should conscientiously abide by and implement the regulations on honorary recognition of military meritorious deeds, widely carry out meritorious and model setting activities in the new era, guide officers and soldiers to make new contributions and achievements in the journey to achieve the centenary goal of building the army, and give timely and accurate commendations and rewards to those who have made contributions, so as to truly make those who have endured hardships enjoy popularity, give priority to those who have outstanding achievements, and make those who have promising positions and abilities go up.
