The sixteen words "self-reliance, hard struggle, unity and cooperation, selfless dedication" are the spirit formed in the construction process of Hongqi Canal. This spirit should continue to be studied and carried forward in today's reform and opening up and socialist modernization.
The spirit of Hongqi Canal is based on independence, centered on hard work and selfless dedication, and guided by the spirit of collectivism of unity and cooperation. It not only inherits and carries forward the fine tradition of hard work and tenacity of the Chinese nation, but also embodies the ideals, beliefs and unremitting pursuit of contemporary China people. Today's Hongqi Canal is not only a water conservancy project, but also a symbol of national spirit.
Today, when building a well-off society in an all-round way, carrying forward the spirit of Hongqiqu is conducive to carrying forward the spirit of the Chinese nation, strengthening ideological and moral construction and improving the ideological and moral quality of the whole nation; It is conducive to improving the cohesiveness, combat effectiveness and creativity of party organizations, consolidating the party's ruling foundation, improving the party's ruling level, and ensuring that the party and the country will never deteriorate; It is conducive to educating the broad masses of party member, cadres and the people to inherit and maintain the fine tradition of hard struggle; It is conducive to stimulating the people's entrepreneurial enthusiasm and providing a strong spiritual impetus for the revitalization of the western region and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
To carry forward the spirit of Hongqiqu is to adhere to the two musts and correct the party style and political style. In the face of achievements, party member should continue to be modest and prudent, not arrogant and impetuous, and should continue to work hard. Today, we want to carry forward the spirit of Hongqiqu, that is, we should bear in mind its core content of self-reliance and hard struggle, resolutely oppose extravagance and waste, and always maintain the vitality, high spirits and integrity of * * * producers in governing for the people.
Carrying forward the spirit of Hongqi Canal means that we in party member should bear hardships first and enjoy them later. In the ten years since the construction of the Hongqi Canal, countless party member have set an example for us. "This kind of dedication is dispensable, and the * * * production party won the hearts of the people by its selfless dedication to the masses!" As Ren Yangcheng, a super model worker who gloriously joined the Party in the canal repair, said, "At that time, * * * party member charged first, and then * * * members went up, and the masses followed us closely ... What I admire most is that * * * production party cadres suffered hardships before and enjoyed the spirit of being behind."
At present, some cadres can't stand suffering, are greedy for pleasure and don't make progress. Over time, they will lose their vigilance and immunity to decadent ideas and slide into the abyss of crime. Therefore, the spirit of Hongqiqu is also a powerful weapon for party member cadres to carry forward healthy trends, resist bad style and be honest in politics.
Today, Theory of Three Represents is an important ideological guarantee for studying and carrying forward the spirit of Hongqiqu and cultivating the national spirit. We should keep pace with the times, constantly deepen and develop the new connotation of the spirit of Hongqiqu, combine self-reliance with opening to the outside world, and combine hard work with scientific development, so that the spirit of Hongqiqu will remain youthful and energetic forever, reflecting the times and advanced nature.
At the same time, we should use the spirit of Hongqiqu to educate party member to keep in close contact with the masses, adhere to the principle of "building the party for the public and governing for the people", put the interests of the masses first, do good deeds and do practical things for the masses, truly make power work for the people, love the people, and benefit the people, and take the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of all work.
During the construction of Hongqi Canal, a large number of outstanding craftsmen were trained, which laid a solid foundation for Linzhou children to go out to Taihang to engage in the construction industry after the reform and opening up. People who go home during the Spring Festival use the money earned outside to build their hometown, which makes the poor Linzhou gradually rich and the small town of Linzhou gradually expand, laying a solid foundation for Linzhou to gradually realize urbanization.
Now, with the golden signboard of Hongqi Canal, Linzhou's tourism industry is booming, and Linzhou's economy is gradually changing to a low-carbon economy. To sum up, it is "fighting Taihang-walking out of Taihang-rich Taihang-beautiful Taihang".
Linzhou people call themselves children of Hongqiqu. They are simple, diligent, generous, brave and enthusiastic. They have devoted themselves to all walks of life in the construction of the motherland, singing the spirit of Hongqiqu everywhere: self-reliance, hard work, unity, courage to struggle and selfless dedication. Linzhou people, heroes, will surely make great achievements again!
Hongqi Canal is our spiritual monument.
