Earnest Implementation Is the Ideal and Belief of Communists in Action

Implementing the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee is a fundamental requirement for upholding the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and it is also an important historical experience in the continuous development and progress of the Party and the people’s cause. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: “Advocating practical work and earnest implementation is something I have repeatedly emphasized. If we do not settle down to implement, no matter how good the goal or how fine the blueprint, it will only be flowers in a mirror or the moon on the water’s surface.” [1]1 A classical allusion to the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra, meaning something illusory or unattainable. On January 20, at the opening ceremony of a special研讨班 [2]2 A special研讨班 (yantaoban) is a study and discussion seminar for leading cadres, a standard format for Party education and policy dissemination. for provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres to study and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: “Leading cadres at all levels, especially senior ones, must further strengthen their studies, delve into the Party’s innovative theories, improve their professional competence, and enhance their ability to act in a down-to-earth manner.” At present, the 15th Five-Year Plan has been launched and set in motion. The key to turning the grand blueprint planned by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee into reality lies in deeply studying and meticulously comprehending General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on earnest implementation, and promoting the implementation and realization of the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee with a high sense of political responsibility and historical mission.

贯彻落实党中央重大决策部署，是维护党中央权威和集中统一领导的根本要求，也是党和人民事业不断发展进步的重要历史经验。习近平总书记深刻指出：“崇尚实干、狠抓落实是我反复强调的。如果不沉下心来抓落实，再好的目标，再好的蓝图，也只是镜中花、水中月。”1月20日，习近平总书记在省部级主要领导干部学习贯彻党的二十届四中全会精神专题研讨班开班式上强调：“各级干部特别是领导干部要进一步加强学习，钻研党的创新理论，提高专业素养，增强实干本领。”当前，“十五五”已经开局起步，把党的二十届四中全会谋划的宏伟蓝图变为现实，关键在于深学细悟习近平总书记关于狠抓落实的重要论述，以高度的政治责任感和历史使命感推动党中央重大决策部署落地落实。

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on earnest implementation constitute the “philosophy of action” and “philosophy of practice” for Chinese Communists in the New Era

习近平总书记关于狠抓落实的重要论述构成新时代中国共产党人的“行动哲学”“实践哲学”

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on earnest implementation are precious crystallizations of long-term practical cultivation and the tempering of years, as well as profound theoretical accumulation and ideological inheritance, manifesting the distinctive characteristics of the unity of theory and practice and the interconnection of history and reality.

习近平总书记关于狠抓落实的重要论述，是长期实践深耕与岁月淬炼、深厚理论积淀与思想传承的宝贵结晶，彰显了理论与实践相统一、历史与现实相贯通的鲜明特征。

Comrade Xi Jinping, when working in Zhengding, Hebei, already attached great importance to implementation, proposing “grasp concrete matters, seek practical results, and truly roll up our sleeves for a real fight.” During his work in Fujian, he elucidated important methods of implementation, adhered to the work system of the “four down-to-earth levels,” [3]3 The “four down-to-earth levels” (四下基层) refers to a work system promoted by Xi Jinping in Fujian: propaganda and implementation of the Party’s line, principles, and policies down to the grassroots level; investigation and research down to the grassroots level; receiving letters and visits from the masses down to the grassroots level; and on-site work down to the grassroots level. advocated the spirit of “dripping water wears through stone” in Ningde, explaining that implementation values perseverance and tenacity; in Fuzhou, he advocated “act immediately, work earnestly and practically,” requiring that once a matter is decided, it be done and done well. After arriving in Zhejiang, he stressed “earnestly placing implementation in an important position.” During his work in Shanghai, he proposed the “four placements,” [4]4 The “four placements” (四个放在) refers to placing Shanghai’s development in the context of the overall work of the Party and the state, in the context of the national reform, opening up, and modernization drive, in the context of the development trend of the Yangtze River Delta region, and in the context of the overall situation of the national development strategy. elevating implementation to the height of serving the national strategy and enhancing the city’s capacity. These important expositions provide scientific guidance for grasping implementation and improving governance capability, highlighting profound theoretical significance and practical value.

习近平同志在河北正定工作时就高度重视抓落实，提出“抓实事，求实效，真刀真枪干一场”。在福建工作期间，阐明抓落实的重要方法，坚持“四下基层”工作制度，在宁德倡导“滴水穿石”精神，阐明抓落实贵在锲而不舍、坚韧不拔；在福州倡导“马上就办、真抓实干”，要求事情定了就办、办就办好。到浙江工作后，强调“切实把抓落实摆上重要位置”。在上海工作期间，提出“四个放在”，把抓落实提升到服务国家战略、提升城市能级的高度来看待。这些重要论述，为抓好落实、提升执政水平提供了科学指引，凸显出深远的理论意义与实践价值。

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of important expositions on earnest implementation, scientifically answering major questions of the New Era such as “why to implement, for whom to implement, and how to implement.” These embody a scientific worldview and methodology, are an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and constitute the “philosophy of action” and “philosophy of practice” for Chinese Communists in the New Era.

党的十八大以来，习近平总书记围绕狠抓落实作出一系列重要论述，科学回答了新时代“为何要抓落实、为谁抓落实、怎样抓落实”等重大问题，体现了科学的世界观和方法论，是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重要组成部分，构成了新时代中国共产党人的“行动哲学”“实践哲学”。

Profoundly elucidating the great significance of earnest implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Empty talk harms the country, while solid work makes it flourish. One part deployment, nine parts implementation. If we do not focus on implementation, if we do not earnestly grasp implementation, no matter how good the plan or deployment, it will become a castle in the air.” “Implementation is a fundamental requirement of the Party’s political line, ideological line, and mass line, and it is also an important indicator for measuring the Party spirit and outlook on political performance of leading cadres.” These important expositions profoundly reveal the essential requirements of earnest implementation, clearly point out its extreme importance, and lay a solid ideological foundation for adhering to earnest implementation in the New Era.

深刻阐明狠抓落实的重大意义。习近平总书记指出：“空谈误国、实干兴邦，一分部署、九分落实。不注重抓落实，不认真抓好落实，再好的规划和部署都会沦为空中楼阁”“抓落实，是党的政治路线、思想路线、群众路线的根本要求，也是衡量领导干部党性和政绩观的重要标志”等。这些重要论述，深刻揭示了狠抓落实的本质要求，鲜明指出狠抓落实的极端重要性，为新时代坚持狠抓落实筑牢了思想根基。

Profoundly elucidating the political requirements of earnest implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Only by standing at a political height can we understand the Party Central Committee’s general policies and decisions more thoroughly, and work with greater foresight and initiative.” “The key for Party committees (leading Party groups) at all levels to play a leading and gatekeeping role lies in whether the places, departments, and units under their leadership implement and carry out these systems in their various tasks. If they are truly implemented and carried out, there will be no problem in direction, and no political problems will arise.” These important expositions embody the fundamental requirement of taking a clear political stand, elucidate the political attributes and political responsibilities of earnest implementation, and reflect the political consensus on earnest implementation in the New Era.

深刻阐明狠抓落实的政治要求。习近平总书记指出：“只有站在政治的高度，对党中央的大政方针和决策部署才能领会更透彻，工作起来才能更有预见性和主动性”“各级党委（党组）发挥领导、把关作用，关键就是看所领导的地方、部门、单位在各项工作中是否执行和落实了这些制度。真正执行和落实了，方向上就没有问题，政治上就不会出问题”等。这些重要论述，体现了旗帜鲜明讲政治的根本要求，阐明了狠抓落实的政治属性和政治责任，体现了新时代狠抓落实的政治共识。

Profoundly elucidating the scientific methods of earnest implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Implementation should be taken as the main way of carrying out work, using our brains, finding ways, and coming up with real and effective measures.” “Implement with the spirit of driving a nail.” “Implementation should be placed in a prominent position, with specific plans formulated, responsibilities clearly divided, and tasks prevented from falling through.” These important expositions highlight the practical character of Marxism, reveal the internal logic of earnest implementation, elucidate its methodology, and provide methodological guidance and action direction for earnest implementation in the New Era.

深刻阐明狠抓落实的科学方法。习近平总书记指出：“要把抓落实作为开展工作的主要方式，动脑子、想办法，拿出真招实招来”“以钉钉子精神抓落实”“要把抓落实摆在突出位置，制定具体方案，明确责任分工，防止任务落空”等。这些重要论述，彰显了马克思主义的实践品格，揭示了狠抓落实的内在逻辑，阐明了狠抓落实的方法论，为新时代狠抓落实提供了方法指导和行动指引。

Profoundly elucidating the responsible subjects of earnest implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “For implementation, the top leader is key. They must shoulder responsibility on their shoulders, be brave enough to carry the heaviest burdens, dare to gnaw the hardest bones, and be good at handling the hottest potatoes, grasping and solidifying the work under their charge and achieving results.” “Leadership responsibility must be implemented, with one level grasping one level, one level leading one level, and layer upon layer grasping implementation.” These important expositions elucidate the important role of the “head goose” [5]5 “Head goose” (头雁) is a metaphor for the leading cadre or the top leader, who sets an example and guides the team, analogous to the lead goose in a flying formation. in leading earnest implementation, point out the responsibility system for earnest implementation, and clarify that Party members and leading cadres truly grasping and doing a good job of implementation is their due duty and within their responsibility.

深刻阐明狠抓落实的责任主体。习近平总书记指出：“抓落实，一把手是关键，要把责任扛在肩上，勇于挑最重的担子，敢于啃最硬的骨头，善于接最烫的山芋，把分管工作抓紧抓实、抓出成效”“要落实领导责任，一级抓一级，一级带一级，层层抓落实”等。这些重要论述，阐明了“头雁”引领对狠抓落实的重要作用，指明了狠抓落实的责任体系，明确党员领导干部真抓落实、抓好落实是应尽之职、分内之责。

Profoundly elucidating the value pursuit of earnest implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must further focus on the livelihood issues that the people generally care about, adopt more targeted measures, grasp implementation one by one, and work year after year, so that the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security is more substantial, more guaranteed, and more sustainable.” “We must persistently do a good job of livelihood work, carry forward the spirit of driving a nail, have unremitting perseverance, and every matter introduced must be followed through to the end, handling one matter after another, working year after year, moving forward with perseverance, ensuring that every matter has a result and every issue has a response, so that the people see changes and get tangible benefits.” “Implement through practical measures that are close to reality and close to the people, promote work by one level pressing down on the next, ensuring that the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee take root and sprout.” These important expositions fully demonstrate the firm stance of putting the people first, centrally embody the people-centered development thought, and point out the starting point, foothold, and focus of earnest implementation in the New Era.

深刻阐明狠抓落实的价值追求。习近平总书记指出：“要更加聚焦人民群众普遍关心关注的民生问题，采取更有针对性的措施，一件一件抓落实，一年接着一年干，让人民群众获得感、幸福感、安全感更加充实、更有保障、更可持续”“要持之以恒把民生工作抓好，发扬钉钉子精神，有坚持不懈的韧劲，推出的每件事都要一抓到底，一件事情接着一件事情办，一年接着一年干，锲而不舍向前走，做到件件有着落、事事有回音，让群众看到变化、得到实惠”“靠贴近实际和贴近群众的务实举措抓落实，靠一级压一级推动工作，确保党中央决策部署落地生根”等。这些重要论述，充分彰显了人民至上的坚定立场，集中体现了以人民为中心的发展思想，指明了新时代狠抓落实的出发点、落脚点和着力点。

Ensuring that the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit through practical work and tangible results

以实干实绩确保党中央各项决策部署落地生根、开花结果

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always had the land of Yunnan in his heart and deeply cared for the people of all ethnic groups, making a series of important instructions and directives, from the overall perspective of the Party and the national strategy, clarifying the development positioning and pointing out the struggle goals for Yunnan. The cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in the province have deeply studied and implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches and instructions during his inspection of Yunnan, ensuring that the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit through practical work and tangible results.

党的十八大以来，习近平总书记始终心系云岭大地、深情牵挂各族群众，作出一系列重要指示批示，从党和国家战略全局高度，为云南明确发展定位、指出奋斗目标。全省各族干部群众深入学习贯彻习近平总书记考察云南重要讲话和重要指示批示精神，以实干实绩确保党中央各项决策部署落地生根、开花结果。

Making efforts in implementation without any discount, and demonstrating political responsibility through firm belief and resolute action. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: “Resolutely uphold the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, ensure that we do not fall behind or deviate, and implement the spirit of the Party Central Committee without any discount.” We have always taken the study of ideology as the first priority, taken the consolidation of the soul and the casting of the spirit as the first requirement, improved the normal and long-term mechanism for implementation, and promptly carried out “look-backs” to ensure that all tasks are fully, accurately, and effectively implemented. For example, regarding the protection and governance of Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake, General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance and is constantly concerned. We implement with firm stance, quality, capability, and will, severely rectify the illegal construction issues along Dianchi Lake with thunderous measures and a spirit of thorough governance, and vigorously promote the ecological environmental protection and governance of Erhai Lake. After five years of systematic protection and governance, the water quality of Dianchi Lake has been stably maintained at Class IV, and the pattern of a large ecology, large wetland, and large scenic area along Dianchi Lake has basically taken shape; the water quality of Erhai Lake has long remained excellent, and the situation of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature has become more prominent.

在不折不扣抓落实上下功夫，于笃信笃行中彰显政治担当。习近平总书记强调：“坚决维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，做到不掉队、不走偏，不折不扣抓好党中央精神贯彻落实。”我们始终把学思想作为第一要事，把凝心铸魂作为第一要求，健全贯彻落实的常态长效机制，及时开展“回头看”，确保全面、准确、有效落实好各项任务。比如，对滇池、洱海保护治理，习近平总书记高度重视、念兹在兹。我们以过硬的立场、品质、能力、意志抓落实，以雷霆手段、根治气魄严肃整治滇池沿岸违规违建问题，大力推进洱海生态环境保护治理，经过5年的系统保护治理，滇池水质稳定保持Ⅳ类，滇池沿岸大生态、大湿地、大景区格局基本形成；洱海水质长期保持优良，人与自然和谐共生的局面更加彰显。

We must work hard to ensure implementation with swift and resolute action, demonstrating a striving posture by seizing every moment. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “Matters of immediate urgency must be addressed promptly, handled tightly and quickly, and not dealt with slowly or sluggishly.” We have deepened efforts in work style improvement, vigorously promoting the work style of “acting immediately and working earnestly and solidly,” and effectively advancing the implementation of all tasks. For example, based on our own resource advantages, we acted swiftly and actively implemented the “dual carbon” [6]6 The Two Establishments refers to establishing Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The Four Consciousnesses are consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership. The Four Confidences are confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Two Upholds are upholding General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and upholding the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee. action. In the “west-to-east power transmission” [7]7 “Greatest concerns of the state” (国之大者) is a phrase used by Xi Jinping, Yunnan has cumulatively transmitted over 2 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to saving approximately 665 million tons of standard coal for the eastern region and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.728 billion tons, making a significant contribution to ensuring national energy security. We have vigorously promoted the deep integration of green energy and green manufacturing. Since the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Yunnan’s installed capacity and proportion of green electricity have ranked among the top in the country. The combined output value of green aluminum, silicon photovoltaics, and new energy batteries has grown at an average annual rate of 30.4%. “Green electricity + advanced manufacturing” is becoming a new calling card for Yunnan’s service in the implementation of national strategies.

在雷厉风行抓落实上下功夫，于只争朝夕中展现奋进姿态。习近平总书记指出：“对当务之急，要立说立行、紧抓快办，不能慢慢吞吞、拖拖拉拉。”我们深入开展作风建设，大力弘扬“马上就办、真抓实干”的工作作风，有力有效推进各项工作落实。比如，我们立足自身资源优势，迅速行动、积极落实“双碳”行动。在“西电东送”中，云南累计送电量超2万亿千瓦时，相当于为东部地区节约标煤约6.65亿吨，减排二氧化碳约17.28亿吨，为保障国家能源安全作出重要贡献。大力推进绿色能源与绿色制造深度融合发展，“十四五”以来，云南绿电装机规模和占比均居全国前列，绿色铝、硅光伏、新能源电池合计产值年均增长30.4%，“绿电+先进制造业”正成为云南服务国家战略实施的新名片。

We must work hard to ensure implementation with a realistic and pragmatic approach, tempering a solid work style through down-to-earth action. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized: “Party officials and cadres must seek truth from facts and be realistic and pragmatic in their work; not the slightest bit of vanity or flippancy is allowed.” We have resolutely opposed formalism and bureaucracy, doing our work in a solid manner, and achieving real results and genuine achievements through hard work. For example, in accordance with the deployment of the Party Central Committee, we have deeply studied and applied the experience of the “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project [8]8 The 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) is the next five-year plan for national economic and social development, following the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025)., deeply carried out the “Seven Special Actions” for patriotic public health [9], and promoted in an integrated manner the improvement of urban and rural living environments, the development of “living in Yunnan” [10], and the construction of healthy county towns. Compared with 2020, the coverage rate of sanitary toilets in rural households, the rate of sewage treatment (control), and the coverage rate of domestic waste treatment facilities have increased by 20.9, 36.2, and 54 percentage points respectively. All natural villages have reached the first-class standard for rural living environments. “Living in Yunnan” has become a major IP, a major ecosystem, and a major industry.

在求真务实抓落实上下功夫，于躬身实干中锤炼过硬作风。习近平总书记强调：“党员干部干事创业必须实事求是、求真务实，来不得半点虚浮。”我们力戒形式主义、官僚主义，把工作往实里做，在实干中真出业绩、出真业绩。比如，按照党中央部署，深入学习运用“千万工程”经验，深入开展爱国卫生“7个专项行动”，一体推进城乡人居环境改善、旅居云南发展和健康县城建设，农村卫生户厕覆盖率、污水治理（管控）率、生活垃圾处理设施覆盖率较2020年分别提高20.9、36.2、54个百分点，所有自然村达到农村人居环境一档标准，旅居云南成为大IP、大生态、大产业。

We must work hard to ensure implementation with the courage to act and the ability to achieve, shouldering the responsibilities of the era while cutting through thorns and bram

在敢作善为抓落实上下功夫，于披荆斩棘中扛起时代责任。习近平总书记强调：“干事担事，是干部的职责所在，也是价值所在。”历史只会眷顾奋进者，时代永远偏爱行动派。我们发扬斗争精神，大胆负责、大胆工作、大胆管理，提高创造性执行能力。习近平总书记高度关注中老铁路建设运营，多次作出重要指示。我们认真贯彻落实习近平总书记重要指示精神，在深入调研、科学论证的基础上，创新实施跨行政区托管模式，由昆明市托管中老铁路边境口岸西双版纳傣族自治州磨憨镇。3年来，磨憨镇固定资产投资、一般公共预算收入、引进省外到位资金、常住人口实现“四个翻番”，有力塑造了中老铁路国际窗口形象。

Steadily advancing the work of the 14th Five-Year Plan period with a work style of genuine and earnest effort and earnest implementation

以真抓实干、狠抓落实的作风稳步推进“十五五”时期各项工作

The 14th Five-Year Plan period is a crucial period for consolidating the foundation and exerting full force to basically achieve socialist modernization. We must deeply implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on earnest implementation, constantly radiate the high-spirited drive of “genuine effort,” sharpen the firm will of “daring to act,” master the scientific methods of “being good at acting,” and forever preserve the enduring perseverance of “constant effort,” so as to implement the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee more resolutely and forcefully, and truly turn the grand blueprint of the 14th Five-Year Plan into concrete reality.

“十五五”时期是基本实现社会主义现代化夯实基础、全面发力的关键时期。我们要深入贯彻习近平总书记关于狠抓落实的重要论述，不断焕发“真抓”的昂扬锐气，砥砺“敢抓”的坚定意志，掌握“善抓”的科学方法，永葆“常抓”的持久恒心，更加坚决有力地贯彻落实党中央重大决策部署，切实把“十五五”规划的宏伟蓝图变为具体实景。

Deepening implementation in the unity of Party spirit and people-centeredness. There is no Party spirit divorced from people-centeredness, nor any people-centeredness divorced from Party spirit. We Communists stand because of our faith and fight for our ideals. Earnest implementation is the ideal and conviction that Communists act upon. Forging ahead in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we must integrate adherence to the principle of Party spirit with taking a firm stand on the people’s side, and truly achieve political performance that benefits the Party and the people. Implementation is about being political; being political requires implementation. The fundamental reason why the cause of the Party and the state has achieved historic accomplishments and undergone historic transformations lies in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s role at the helm and in the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We must always uphold the Party’s leadership throughout the entire process of implementation, deeply comprehend the decisive significance of the Two Establishments, enhance the Four Consciousnesses, strengthen the Four Confidences, and achieve the Two Upholds. [n6] The people’s hearts are the Party’s “roots”; every concrete thing we do is “nurturing the roots” for the Party. We must always sit on the same bench as the people, think about matters and make decisions from the people’s standpoint, implement the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments down to the grassroots level without any discount, transforming them into tangible benefits for the people, and consolidate the Party’s governing foundation and mass base through earnest implementation.

在坚持党性和人民性相统一中深化落实。没有脱离人民性的党性，也没有脱离党性的人民性。我们共产党人，因信仰而立，为理想而战。狠抓落实是共产党人行动着的理想信念。奋进“十五五”，我们要把坚持党性原则与站稳人民立场融为一体，切实干出有利于党和人民的政绩。抓落实就是讲政治，讲政治必须抓落实。党和国家事业之所以能取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革，根本在于习近平总书记领航掌舵，在于习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想科学指引。要始终坚持把党的领导贯穿抓落实的全过程，深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义，增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”。人民的心就是党的“根”，我们每做一件实事，都是在为党“培根”。要始终和人民群众坐在一条板凳上，站在人民立场想事情、作决策，把党中央决策部署不折不扣地落实到基层、转化为人民群众实实在在的利益，在狠抓落实中巩固党的执政基础和群众基础。

Deepening implementation in the unity of theoretical and practical character. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must adhere to the unity of theory and practice, focusing on learning true knowledge and understanding the true essence through practice.” Forging ahead in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we must uphold the unity of ideological guidance and practical action, becoming doers who possess ideals and convictions. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is profound and extensive; only by studying it well can we implement it well; to implement it well, we must study it well. When studying the Party’s innovative theory, at first it seems there is nothing one does not understand; upon further study, one deeply feels there is indeed much one does not understand; only through comprehensive, thorough, and in-depth study can one suddenly see the light, and truly understand, grasp, and put it into practice. We must constantly establish a study-oriented, integration-oriented, action-oriented, and implementation-oriented approach, forging a unified will and the strength to forge ahead through the mutual reinforcement of learning and application. Adhere to seeking truth from facts, proceed from reality in everything, link theory with practice, study laws, grasp laws, follow laws, adapt measures to local and temporal conditions, earnestly explore effective methods and pathways for implementing the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and deployments, and push policies and measures directly to the frontlines and grassroots.

在坚持思想性和实践性相统一中深化落实。习近平总书记指出：“要坚持理论和实践相结合，注重在实践中学真知、悟真谛”。奋进“十五五”，我们要坚持思想引领和实践力行相统一，做有理想信念的实干家。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想博大精深，只有学习好，才能落实好；要想落实好，必须学习好。学习党的创新理论，初学似乎没有什么不懂的，再学深感确有不懂的，全面学、贯通学、深入学，才能豁然开朗，才能真正学懂弄通做实。要不断树牢学习导向、结合导向、力行导向、落实导向，在学用相长中熔炼形成统一意志和奋进力量。坚持实事求是，一切从实际出发，理论联系实际，学习规律、把握规律、遵循规律，因地制宜、因时制宜，认真探索贯彻落实党中央重大决策部署的有效方法和途径，推动政策举措直达末梢一线。

Deepening implementation in the unity of the partial and the holistic. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Once something is decided, it must be implemented; departments at all levels must have a sense of the big picture and execution capability.” Forging ahead in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we must uphold the unity of the partial and the holistic, achieving a virtuous cycle where “the whole empowers the part, and the part serves the whole.” Always keep the “greatest concerns of the state” in mind, [n7] consciously proceed from the “two overall situations,” [n8] oppose departmentalism, and in genuine and earnest effort, consciously submit to the overall situation, actively integrate into the overall situation, and fully safeguard the overall situation. Fulfill the main responsibilities of the region and department, ensuring responsibility for one’s own turf, being accountable for it, and doing one’s utmost, both winning glory for one’s own domain and adding luster to the overall situation. Vigorously oppose formalism, bureaucratism, and “impulses for political performance,” [n9] resolutely refrain from doing things that are grandiose, seek quick success, or pass the buck like a hot potato; resolutely refrain from shouting empty slogans, making false claims, or engaging in fraud; resolutely refrain from blindly chasing trends, casually expanding projects, or making a loss for the sake of appearances; resolutely refrain from making decisions by patting one’s head, making promises by patting one’s chest, and walking away by patting one’s backside. [n10]

在坚持局部性和全局性相统一中深化落实。习近平总书记指出：“定了就要落实，各级各部门都要有大局观、执行力。”奋进“十五五”，我们要坚持局部和全局相统一，实现“全局赋能局部、局部服务全局”的良性循环。时刻胸怀“国之大者”，自觉从“两个大局”出发，反对本位主义，在真抓实干中自觉服从大局、主动融入大局、全力维护大局。履行好本地区本部门主体责任，做到守土有责、守土负责、守土尽责，既为一域争光、更为全局添彩。力戒形式主义、官僚主义、“政绩冲动”，坚决不干好大喜功、急功近利、击鼓传雷的事，坚决不干冒叫一声、空喊口号、弄虚作假的事，坚决不干盲目追风口、随意铺摊子、赔本赚吆喝的事，坚决不干拍脑袋决策、拍胸脯表态、拍屁股走人的事。

Deepening implementation in the unity of the whole-process and the phased. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The new development stage we are in today is a stage within the primary stage of socialism, and at the same time a stage that, after decades of accumulation, has stood at a new starting point.” Forging ahead in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we must unify whole-process goals with phased work, fighting both closely linked battles of assault and, even more so, protracted battles requiring persistent effort. In accordance with the “two-step” strategic arrangement for building a great modern socialist country in all respects, [n11] carry the blueprint through to the end, constructing a promotion mechanism with a complete chain, clear divisions, close links, and running through the entire process, both pressing down responsibilities layer by layer and firmly shouldering responsibilities layer by layer. Using the five-year plan as a lever, work on one batch after another, fight one battle after another, and continuously achieve new and greater successes.

在坚持全程性和阶段性相统一中深化落实。习近平总书记指出：“今天我们所处的新发展阶段，就是社会主义初级阶段中的一个阶段，同时是其中经过几十年积累、站到了新的起点上的一个阶段。”奋进“十五五”，我们要把全程性目标与阶段性工作统一起来，既要打好环环相扣的攻坚战，更要打好久久为功的持久战。按照全面建成社会主义现代化强国“两步走”战略安排，一张蓝图绘到底，构建链条完整、条块清晰、环环相扣、贯穿全程的推进机制，既层层压实责任，又层层扛牢责任。以五年规划为抓手，一茬接着一茬干、一仗接着一仗打，不断取得新的更大成绩。

In upholding the unity of inheritance and innovation, we deepen implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “Only by upholding fundamental principles can we avoid losing our bearings and committing subversive mistakes; only by innovating can we grasp the times and lead the times.” [8]8 The 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) is the next five-year plan for national economic and social development, following the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025). Striving forward in the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must uphold the dialectical unity of inheritance and innovation — neither compromising on upholding fundamentals nor failing to seek breakthroughs in light of local and temporal conditions. We must safeguard the root, source, foundation and soul of Chinese-path modernization, unswervingly uphold Chinese characteristics, essential requirements and major principles, and focus on strengthening the foundation and consolidating the base. Based on the new stage, new situation, new tasks and new demands, we must be adept at using new thinking to resolve old difficulties and new methods to meet new challenges, and in accurately recognizing change, scientifically responding to change and actively seeking change, we must grasp historical initiative and win development opportunities.

在坚持继承性和创新性相统一中深化落实。习近平总书记指出：“守正才能不迷失方向、不犯颠覆性错误，创新才能把握时代、引领时代。”奋进“十五五”，我们要坚持继承性和创新性的辩证统一，既不折不扣坚守根本，又因地制宜、因时制宜寻求突破。守好中国式现代化的本和源、根和魂，毫不动摇坚持中国特色、本质要求和重大原则，着力强基筑根、培元固本。立足新阶段新形势新任务新要求，善于用新思维破解老难题、用新方法应对新挑战，在准确识变、科学应变、主动求变中把握历史主动、赢得发展先机。

In upholding the unity of struggle and scientificity, we deepen implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “The founding of the Communist Party of China, the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the implementation of reform and opening up, and the advancement of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era — all were born in struggle, developed in struggle, and strengthened in struggle.” Striving forward in the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must grasp the inner unity of struggle and scientificity, using tenacious struggle to remove development obstacles and scientific methods to provide sustained momentum for high-quality development. The struggle of us Communists has direction, stance and principles; it has always been aimed at contradictions, problems, risks and challenges, with the goal of advancing high-quality development in a coordinated manner and advancing Chinese-path modernization. We must carry forward the spirit of struggle, step forward and meet difficulties head-on — daring to take the lead in shouldering development responsibilities, daring to make decisions in the face of contradictions and difficulties, and daring to take on risks and challenges — and in overcoming difficulties, we must find countermeasures and open up new prospects. We must adhere to the new development concept to guide high-quality development, establish and practice a correct outlook on political performance, take benefiting the people as the greatest political achievement, always pay attention to what the Party Central Committee cares about and emphasizes, deeply understand the strategic intentions of the Party Central Committee, accurately grasp the laws of high-quality development, work honestly and properly for the Party and the people, so that what must be done is done, what can be done is done with effort, and what must not be done is never done — we must not be self-righteous, still less act without authorization. We must always uphold high-quality development as the hard truth of the New Era, and strive to write a new answer sheet in the New Era and on the new journey that can stand the test of history, practice and the people.

在坚持斗争性和科学性相统一中深化落实。习近平总书记指出：“建立中国共产党、成立中华人民共和国、实行改革开放、推进新时代中国特色社会主义事业，都是在斗争中诞生、在斗争中发展、在斗争中壮大的。”奋进“十五五”，我们要把握斗争性和科学性的内在统一，以顽强斗争破除发展障碍，以科学的方法为高质量发展提供持续动能。我们共产党人的斗争是有方向、有立场、有原则的，从来都是奔着矛盾问题、风险挑战去的，目标是统筹推进高质量发展，是推进中国式现代化。要发扬斗争精神，挺身而出、迎难而上，面对发展重任敢于牵头、面对矛盾难题敢于拍板、面对风险挑战敢于扛事，在攻坚克难中找对策、开新局。坚持以新发展理念引领高质量发展，树立和践行正确政绩观，把为民造福作为最大政绩，时刻关注党中央在关心什么、强调什么，深刻理解党中央的战略意图，准确把握高质量发展规律，老老实实、规规矩矩为党和人民干事，做到该为的必须为，能为的努力为，不该为的决不为，不能自以为是，更不能自行其是。始终坚持高质量发展这个新时代的硬道理，努力在新时代新征程上书写经得起历史、实践和人民检验的新答卷。
