Consciously undertake the mission of propaganda and ideological work (thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era)
The strength of a political party is rooted in the hearts of the people. The key to a nation’s revival lies in its spirit. A strong nation should have a strong national spirit. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out at the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work: "To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must consciously undertake the mission of raising flags, gathering people’s hearts, educating new people, rejuvenating culture and displaying image." The vast number of propaganda and ideological workers must consciously undertake the mission entrusted by the new era and make due contributions to promoting the continuous strengthening of propaganda and ideological work and the national spirit.
Hold the banner and lay a solid ideological foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out, "Doctrine is like a flag. When the flag is erected, everyone will have hope and know where to go." To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must hold high the banner of Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, arm the whole party, educate the people and promote the work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, constantly consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, and consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the whole people.
Work hard to learn, understand and implement new ideas. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era provides an action guide for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must use this important ideological education to guide cadres and the masses and constantly improve their political identity, ideological identity, theoretical identity and emotional identity. Propaganda and ideological workers should set an example of learning to understand and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, learn one step at a time and learn one step at a time, so as to be aware of it and use it freely; Take the lead and implement it, and be good at influencing and driving the masses with scientific theories.
Be good at explaining conclusions with economic and social development materials. Marxist classical writers have always advocated integrating theory with practice and opposed empty preaching. Lenin believes that Marxism can only be understood and mastered by the masses if it is combined with the realistic workers’ movement. It is emphasized that propaganda and application of Marxism must proceed from the universally recognized facts. Practice has proved that Marxism has provided a powerful ideological weapon for China’s revolution, construction and reform, and enabled China, an ancient eastern power, to create an unprecedented development miracle in human history. Propaganda and ideological workers should be good at using fresh materials of economic and social development to clarify this conclusion through the comparison between today and the past, China and foreign countries.
Dare to fight against all kinds of wrong thoughts. At present, China is in a critical period of economic and social transformation, and various social thoughts are competing to speak out. In these thoughts, right and wrong coexist, and advanced and backward are intertwined. Propaganda and ideological workers should deeply understand and master the laws of ideological work, comprehensively analyze and grasp the trends of social ideological trends, constantly enhance political discrimination and political immunity, take a clear-cut stand in upholding the truth and firmly refute fallacies. In the ideological confrontation, it is necessary to analyze things clearly, and strive to convince people with culture and reasoning; We should also dare to show our swords and resolutely fight against erroneous ideological trends.
Gather people’s hearts and gather great strength for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must unite China’s strength. Propaganda and ideological work is the work of being a man and rallying people’s hearts. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the propaganda and ideological work should adhere to the people-centered principle, in order to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Explain not only the great achievements, but also the practical problems. Propaganda and ideological work should be good at combining the international and domestic situations, closely linking the changes in people’s lives and the examples around them, and clearly explaining the great achievements made in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, especially the historic achievements and changes that have taken place in the cause of the party and the state since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, constantly inspiring confidence and gathering people’s hearts. At present, some people use negative cases to make a fuss and draw some biased conclusions. The key to effectively respond to this kind of query and thoroughly explain the existing problems is to make good use of materialist dialectics, guide cadres and the masses to distinguish the mainstream from tributaries, the individual from the general, the phenomenon from the essence, and clarify the causes and solutions of the problems. Lenin once said, "If you don’t grasp the facts from the whole or from the connection, if the facts are piecemeal and randomly picked out, then they can only be a kind of child’s play, or even worse." To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, we should describe the facts according to the facts, not only accurately report individual facts, but also grasp and reflect the whole picture of events or things from a macro perspective, as emphasized by the Supreme Leader.
Solve both practical problems and ideological problems. The effect of propaganda and ideological work should ultimately be reflected in the recognition of the people. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "All the real life problems of the masses are problems that we should pay attention to. If we pay attention to these problems, solve them and meet the needs of the masses, we will truly become the organizers of mass life, and the masses will truly surround us and enthusiastically support us. " To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work under the new situation, we must take the people’s yearning for a better life as our goal, not only to help the people solve practical problems in their lives, but also to solve their ideological problems, so as to strengthen their confidence, gather people’s hearts, warm people’s hearts and build unity.
Educate new people and cultivate fresh troops for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Adhering to and developing the Chinese dream of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a long-term task, which needs continuous struggle from generation to generation. This determines that propaganda and ideological work should take it as an important duty to train new people of the times who are responsible for national rejuvenation.
Build a spiritual foundation with firm ideals and beliefs. In a certain sense, whether young people have firm ideals and beliefs determines whether a country can prosper. Ideals guide the direction of life, and beliefs determine the success or failure of a career. Without firm ideals and beliefs, it will lead to mental "calcium deficiency." To help young people strengthen their ideals and beliefs in propaganda and ideological work, we should strengthen the propaganda and education of Marxist theory, China history and world history, and the basic national conditions of contemporary China according to the individual characteristics, theoretical demands and learning methods of contemporary young people, so that young people can continuously enhance their "four consciousnesses" and always strengthen their "four self-confidences".
See the truth in attention, care and love. Winning the majority of young people is the key for a political party to maintain its youthful vitality. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always attached great importance to youth work, and since its establishment, it has insisted on representing, winning and relying on young people. Under the condition of ideological pluralism and social informatization, to win over young people, propaganda and ideological work needs to make more efforts, pay attention to young people, care for them, show their true feelings, see the truth, give practical policies, encourage their growth and support their entrepreneurship.
Use real work in detail, small size and implementation. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out, "Tao cannot sit on the table, and virtue cannot be empty talk. Only by exerting efforts in practice and working hard from the unity of knowing and doing can the core values be internalized into people’s spiritual pursuit and externalized into people’s conscious actions. " Propaganda and ideological work should strengthen education guidance, practice cultivation and system guarantee, strive to promote the integration of socialist core values into all aspects of social life, and guide all people to consciously practice. In particular, it is necessary to grasp the critical period of the formation of young people’s values and guide them to buckle their first buttons in life.
Promote culture and enhance the cultural heritage for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The prosperity of a country and a nation should be supported by cultural prosperity. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on the development and prosperity of Chinese culture. In the new era, propaganda and ideological work should contribute to adhering to the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and building a socialist cultural power.
Effectively enhance the sense of responsibility and mission of promoting culture. Culture is an important support for the survival and development of the nation. Realizing the prosperity of Chinese culture and building a socialist cultural power is the proper meaning of realizing the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation. In the face of the demands of social consensus on values and the people’s desire to live a richer spiritual and cultural life, propaganda and ideological workers should stand at the height of realizing the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream and realizing the people’s yearning for a better life, and earnestly enhance their sense of responsibility and mission in rejuvenating culture.
Vigorously promote Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture. Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture is an organic whole based on Chinese excellent traditional culture, with revolutionary culture as the source and advanced socialist culture as the direction. To do propaganda and ideological work well under the new situation, we should take root in the fertile soil of Chinese excellent traditional culture and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture; Inherit revolutionary culture and give play to the important role of red cultural genes in cultural inheritance, integration and innovation; Carry forward the advanced socialist culture and play its leading role in value.
Constantly inspire people’s cultural innovation and create vitality. The prosperity of socialist culture requires both the spring snow and the Liba people. It is necessary to play a leading role in propaganda and ideological work, but also to stimulate the people’s cultural innovation and creativity. For social and cultural phenomena and popular cultural forms, we should adhere to the combination of meeting the needs of the masses and leading the improvement, adhere to the cultural consciousness to examine their advantages and disadvantages, treat their popularity and influence with cultural confidence, and strive to promote their healthy development.
Show your image and create a favorable international public opinion environment for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
China cannot seek development under closed conditions, but can only achieve win-win development through harmonious coexistence and benign interaction with the world. Propaganda and ideological work should show the world a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China and create a favorable international public opinion environment for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Strengthen the capacity building of international communication. At present, "reading" China’s economy and "decoding" China’s road have become an important international phenomenon. It is good that the world pays attention to China, but China’s story cannot be interpreted by others, and Chinese should tell his own story well. Since the May 4th Movement, the cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries have generally shown a situation in which western learning has gradually spread to the east, while eastern learning has gradually been insufficient. Now, although the information is well developed, foreign people still don’t know much about China, which is not deep or true, and they are easily misled by the media with ulterior motives. In recent years, the international communication ability of China’s mainstream media has been continuously improved, but the pattern of international public opinion that the west is strong and the west is weak has not fundamentally changed. Strengthening the capacity building of international communication is still an important task for propaganda and ideological work.
Tell the story of China well. In recent years, in view of the rapid economic and social development in China, some foreign media have made various interpretations. Among them, there are many misinterpretations and misunderstandings such as "China threat theory". In this regard, China’s propaganda and ideological workers made a timely and effective response. In the future, we should further clarify fallacies and distinguish right from wrong. At the same time, we should go beyond the practice of "smearing first and then whitewashing", improve the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of international communication, and actively tell the story of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s governance of the country, the story of China people’s struggle for a dream, and the story of China’s insistence on peaceful development, cooperation and win-win, so that the world can understand China more stereoscopically and comprehensively. Let the world know not only "China on the tip of the tongue", but also "China in academics", "China in theory", "China in philosophy and social sciences", "China in development", "China in opening up" and China making contributions to human civilization.
Interpret China’s ideas. Due to the differences between history and reality, system and culture, customs and habits, the development of China will inevitably go through a long-term cognitive friction, collision and adaptation process between China and foreign countries. It is undoubtedly very important to study the habits and characteristics of different foreign audiences, adopt concepts, categories and expressions that integrate China and foreign countries, and be good at interpreting and expressing China’s ideas to the international community. It is an important task and mission for propaganda and ideological workers to strengthen the international communication power of China’s stories, carry forward the cultural spirit that transcends time and space, transcends the country, is full of eternal charm and has contemporary value, and spread the cultural innovation achievements of contemporary China that inherit the traditional excellent culture and carry forward the spirit of the times, and is based on their own country and facing the world.
