Act Promptly and Sustain the Effort

In the long-term task, maintain strategic determination and patience, adhere to a blueprint drawing to the end, dripping through stones, and do it for a long time. This important discourse of General Secretary Xi Jinping deeply reveals the dialectical relationship between "Lily Speaking" and "Long-Term Merit", providing fundamental follow for our officers to start entrepreneurship and promote career development.


In the new era, from comprehensive Xiaokang "not one less," to technological innovation "just fight for the night, ambitious breakthrough" to green development "imminent and urgent", it is this sense of urgency that race against time has led China to create a development miracle after another.


"Long-term merit" emphasizes endurance and persistence. When slow, slow, deep consideration, persistence, manifests a strategic patience. The spirit of not greedy for time, not famous for time, is especially precious in the present moment. In reality, some places in pursuit of "quick performance", despite the actual hard work, the result of labor injuries; some party cadres rush to achieve "sport-style" implementation, ultimately leaving many "bad tail projects". In the fields of science and technology, industrial upgrading, ecological protection, this "achievement does not have to be in me" realm and "achievement must have my" responsibility.


In the present day, the international situation is complex and difficult, domestic reform development and stability task is difficult. For party cadres to grasp this dialectical thinking, both fast and fast, must have a sustained resilience, which is important for further deepening reform and advancing China-style modernization.


The key is to establish the right view of political performance. It emphasizes the fleeting sense of urgency of opportunity, while the two seem contradictory and are unified in the practical logic of high-quality development. At present, some cadres are either short-sighted behavior of "new officers ignoring old accounts" or keen on "immediate image projects", which are essentially manifestations of misalignment of political performance.


The development of the new era party cadres must focus on the implementation progress of the five-year plan and anchor the second centennial goal. Let today's struggle become the cornerstone of the future, so that the long-term blueprint translates into the action coordinates of the present moment, and truly take the road to high-quality development.


“Ten thousand years is too long, only for the night.” Comrade Mao Zedong’s Haomai verse speaks of the “endeavour” posture of Chinese Communists. “The merit must not be in me, merit must have me.”
