Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee’s eight regulations have been “one son” and the Party’s construction has been “full of vitality”. "The Central Eight dams are finally built, so we must cherish them, and continue to patrol and inspect the embankments, cultivate soil to reinforce them." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words were very meaningful. It takes time to turn customs into customs. Implementing the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations is not a sprint, but a marathon. We must solve each problem one by one, stick to each node, and persist in strengthening the embankment of the Central Eight Regulations.
The eight central regulations are the entry point and mobilization order to improve work style. Entering the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has tackled and governed issues one by one, including investigation and research, office space, public funds consumption, extravagance and waste, so that the people can constantly see real results and changes, promote the party's style and government style, and the society and people's style, and reshape the image of the party in the hearts of the people. A survey by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2024 showed that 94.9% of the respondents expressed their affirmation of the effectiveness of the implementation of the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations. The results of work style construction are obvious to all, but the "Four Evils" problem is stubborn and repetitive, and is prone to invisible mutation and rebound. For example, some people have stubborn and varied work styles, hiding in the "green gauze tent" and playing with "discovery methods", becoming a "isolation belt" between cadres and the masses and a "stumbling block" for high-quality development. At the important node of winning the "14th Five-Year Plan", party members and cadres should focus on the theme, pay attention to effectiveness, and promote learning, investigation and reform in an integrated manner to ensure that learning has quality, investigation and reform is effective.
The thoughts are relaxed one inch, and the actions are dispersed one foot. Implementing the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations requires solid theoretical armedness. We must thoroughly study and understand Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on strengthening the Party’s work style construction through various forms such as personal self-study and special seminars, and thoroughly understand the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations and their implementation rules, so as to truly attach importance to it, be alert and be conscious in our thoughts. Innovate learning methods, combine party history, from the Yan'an Rectification Movement to the style construction of the new era, grasp the spiritual code that is inherited; combine case studies, distinguish right from wrong by analyzing typical problems such as illegal eating and drinking; combine job studies, sort out the risk points that are prone to violating the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations in different fields. Only by integrating the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations into daily life and internalizing them into value pursuits, always tighten the thought strings and recite the "tight coil" well can we be able to calm our minds and keep the bottom line in the face of temptation.
The transformation of the life style of party members and cadres often starts from seemingly trivial things such as food and drink. "The dam collapses an ant hole, and the qi leaks the needle's light." This ancient saying emphasizes the importance of preventing the problem from gradual progress. Comrade Xi Jinping once wrote in "Zhijiang New Words": "Small things and minor matters are a mirror that can reflect character and style." Party members and cadres must strictly compare the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations, deeply understand the dialectical relationship between small and big, and take the initiative to "look in the mirror" and conduct self-inspection. Party organizations at all levels should make full use of various channels such as discipline inspection and supervision, inspection, audit supervision, and mass reporting. They should not only find obvious problems such as illegal eating and drinking, traveling with public funds, and giving gifts in disguise, but also pay attention to invisible and mutation problems such as formalism and bureaucracy, and discover "ant holes" and "fly nests" from the source to prevent "small problems" from becoming "big holes".
Those who are good at eliminating harm will observe the root cause, and those who are good at regulating diseases will eliminate the source. For the problems found, we must insist on solving the problems that are found, and focus on rectifying the problems that are prominent. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "To make great efforts to solve the 'four winds' problem, we cannot start and end, we cannot make it into a 'half-small project', and we cannot go through formalities and formalities." This requires us to point to the bull's eye on the problem, focus on the integration of "current reform" and "long-term establishment", and improve relevant institutional regulations to prevent the problem from rebounding. By formulating a list of quantitative changes, facing the public's door-to-door reforms, tracking and evaluating the efficiency and closed-loop reforms, we will resolutely stop the corruption, official style, and lazy style, actively accept the supervision and judgment of the masses, promote real, practical and corrective reforms, and truly test the "gold content" of rectification with the "number of likes" of the masses.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The eight central regulations are not five or ten years of regulations, but long-term and effective iron rules and hard rulings." In the new journey, facing various risks and challenges, it is particularly important to strengthen the party's style of work. Party members and cadres should thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Eight Regulations, think through learning, correct through investigation, and improve through improvement through improvement through learning, work hard to inspire their spirit, inspire their fighting spirit, build a good image, and win the hearts of the people, promote the implementation of all decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, and promote the steady and long-term development of Chinese-style modernization.
