Original Title: Firmly Establish "Four Consciousness" and Achieve Political Qualification

Do you remember the oath of joining the Party at the beginning? Why and start the original intention is still there? Walking on the new Long March road, if every party member can not lose their true colors, all talk about politics, abide by the rules, can take responsibility, at least meet the "qualified" standard, then our team will be united and strong, our journey will be broad and bright.

Build a solid ideological foundation in "learning" and show the true qualities of party members in "doing". In the past year since the "two studies and one doing" was launched, learning and education activities have served as a powerful starting point for promoting ideological, organizational, and institutional party building, and promote comprehensive Strictly governing the party continues to develop in depth. Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping fully affirmed the "two studies and one doing" learning and education carried out in the whole party, and gave important instructions to promote the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one doing" learning and education. To this end, the study and education of "two learning and one doing" should deepen and expand in real learning and practice, guide the broad masses of party members to enhance the "four consciousness," and maintain a high degree of consistency with the party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core in thought, politics and action. to achieve political qualification, discipline implementation, moral character, and role play.

Comrade Mao Zedong once said that if you don't talk about politics, you have no soul. In 1986, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed that "politics must be emphasized at all times". In 2015, when meeting with outstanding county party secretaries across the country, General Secretary Xi Jinping particularly emphasized that politics is the first priority, and listed "being a political sensible person" as the first of the four requirements for county party secretaries. When it comes to politics, the emphasis is on being politically qualified. Politics is the fundamental requirement of Marxist political parties, the fundamental guarantee for our party to replenish calcium and strengthen the body, and the fundamental way for our party to cultivate the courage of self-revolution, enhance the ability of self-purification, and improve the political immunity of detoxification and sterilization. Similarly, stressing politics is also the foundation of every party member and the primary problem to be solved by being a qualified party member.

Political qualification presupposes firm ideals and beliefs. "If you ask the elder of the wood, you will consolidate its foundation." Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual "calcium" of communists. Without ideals and beliefs or if ideals and beliefs are not firm, they will be mentally "calcium deficient", they will get "chondrosis", and they will be politically unreliable. Counting the confessions of corrupt officials who have fallen from the horse, those who have lost their feet have fallen from the pine strings of their ideals and beliefs. Firming up one's ideals and convictions is a return to the original nature in one's mind and a consolidation of the party spirit. Ideals and beliefs are not false and empty, they are hidden in every clause of the party constitution, the cognition and attitude of the rights and obligations of party members, the standards and bottom line of behavior. As the fundamental standard for communists to cultivate their moral integrity, every party member and comrade should study by heart, repeatedly, in connection with practice, and with goals. Only by keeping good ideals and beliefs can we effectively resist all kinds of mistakes and temptations. Only when we have the party in our hearts can we have the people in our hearts, responsibilities in our hearts, and precepts in our hearts.

The key to political qualification is to firmly establish the "four consciousnesses". Whether or not the "four consciousnesses" are strong or not is the key criterion to measure whether they are politically qualified. Only with the correct political direction can we stand firm and take a clear-cut stand in front of major right and wrong; we have the overall situation in mind, and we can consciously obey the overall situation and resolutely safeguard the overall situation, so as to overcome the standardism in the reform and realize a game of chess in the whole country. In particular, to deal with the "four major tests" and "four dangers", to advance reforms to overcome difficulties and break through the barriers of interest consolidation, it is more necessary for the majority of party members to enhance their core awareness and awareness of alignment, resolutely maintain the authority of the Party Central Committee, and consciously work with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core. The Party Central Committee maintains a high degree of consistency, and can implement the major decisions and deployments of the Central Committee in accordance with the actual situation, we should always be politically firm and sober, ideologically concentric and in the same direction, and act unbiased and unrelent. The "four consciousnesses" will not be formed and established automatically. The majority of party members must take the initiative to learn, consciously participate in education and training, and actively participate in social practice, strengthen party spirit in practice, and let theoretical beliefs truly take root in the depths of their thoughts.

Last year, a video called "I am the Communist Party of China, always with you" went viral on the Internet. "Who am I? What kind of person is he?" This opening question made many party members once again weigh the weight of the four words "Communist" in their hearts. Do you remember the oath of joining the Party at the beginning? Why and start the original intention is still there? Walking on the new Long March road, if every party member can not lose their true colors, all talk about politics, abide by the rules, can take responsibility, at least meet the "qualified" standard, then our team will be united and strong, our journey will be broad and bright.
