I. Presenting the Leadership Style Displayed by General Secretary Xi Jinping During His Work in Fujian
During his work in Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping harbored far-sighted political vision, a global
From blazing the path of poverty alleviation in the Ningde region to planning Fuzhou’s “3820” project [1]1 “Dripping water wears through stone” (滴水穿石) is a Chinese idiom used by Xi Jinping to advocate for persistent, incremental effort over time to achieve long-term goals., from building Xiamen into a special economic zone of the free-port type to constructing a maritime Fuzhou, from promoting an “economic chorus” to taking the path of sustainable development, General Secretary Xi Jinping, during his work in Fujian, planned Fujian’s development with extremely high political foresight and a forward-looking, broad vision. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s leadership style has been further demonstrated. The
II. Telling the Story of the Work Style General Secretary Xi Jinping Embodied While Working in Fujian
While working in Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping adhered to the practical thinking of seeking truth from facts [seeking truth from facts], the fighting spirit of “dripping water wears through stone,” and the pragmatic work style of “doing it right away.” [1]1 “Dripping water wears through stone” (滴水穿石) is a Chinese idiom used by Xi Jinping to advocate for persistent, incremental effort over time to achieve long-term goals. He emphasized research in his work, proposing and practicing “receiving petitions at the grassroots level, holding on-site offices at the grassroots level, conducting investigations and research at the grassroots level, and promoting the Party’s policies at the grassroots level.” [2]2 These “four grassroots” (四下基层) working methods were a key part of Xi Jinping’s work style in Fujian. Upon first taking office as the Party Secretary of Ningde Prefecture, he conducted research in all nine counties and cities under Ningde’s jurisdiction one by one, observing the real situation, listening to the people’s voices, and understanding the people’s will, thereby laying a solid research foundation for further leading the work in the Ningde region. He adhered to the fighting spirit of “dripping water wears through stone,” and in the face of harsh objective conditions and historical factors, he reversed the poverty in the thoughts and concepts of the people of eastern Fujian, leading the people to change the region’s backward appearance. He promoted the formation of a work style of “grasping firmly and implementing concretely, doing it right away,” doing practical things for the people, solving difficult problems, and truly enhancing government efficiency.
From visiting Junying Village to covering all 123 townships in Ningde, from sounding the clarion call for the great ideological emancipation of eastern Fujian to leading the people of eastern Fujian with the spirit of “dripping water wears through stone,” from “handling special matters specially, doing it right away” to proposing the concepts of “office work in one building” and “handling affairs in one stop,” [3]3 “Office work in one building” and “handling affairs in one stop” refer to streamlining government services to improve efficiency. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s experiences while working in Fujian all reflect his rigorous and pragmatic work style. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has consistently adhered to a rigorous and pragmatic work style, requiring the entire Party to seek truth from facts, grasp firmly and implement concretely, leaving a mark on the stone when stepping, and leaving a print on the iron when grasping. [4]4 “Leaving a mark on the stone when stepping, and leaving a print on the iron when grasping” (踏石留印、抓铁有痕) is a metaphor for resolute and effective implementation. Work style concerns the people’s hearts; work style concerns development. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s work style has set an example for young students. Young students should learn from General Secretary Xi Jinping’s practical thinking of seeking truth from facts, dare to take responsibility, dare to take responsibility, strive for progress, and persist in investigation and research in heavy and complex work; learn from General Secretary Xi Jinping’s unremitting fighting spirit, work hard, face difficulties head-on, be indomitable, and make sustained efforts over time in adverse objective environments; learn from General Secretary Xi Jinping’s pragmatic work style of grasping firmly and implementing concretely, not engaging in showy or flashy actions, but solidly learning true skills and genuinely doing good deeds for the masses.
III. Telling the Story of the Thinking Methods General Secretary Xi Jinping Employed While Working in Fujian
While working in Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized a systematic concept of keeping the overall situation in mind, an analytical method of adapting measures to local conditions, and a dialectical way of thinking that sees things as one divides into two. He coordinated various tasks in regional development and made top-level designs beneficial to the long-term development of the region. He took the lead in formulating the “3820” project, [5]5 The “3820” project was a strategic plan for Fuzhou’s development over 20 years (3 years, 8 years, 20 years), formulated under Xi Jinping’s leadership. and the 20-year development goals he set had foresight and scientific validity, with the vast majority of indicators having met expectations. He based his approach on local strengths and weaknesses, explored development paths and sought development opportunities according to local conditions, pointing the way for Ningde to shake off poverty. He dialectically viewed the constraining factors in local development, acted after careful planning, and vigorously supported industrial and agricultural development under the premise of governance and rectification.
From the “1985-2000 Xiamen Economic and Social Development Strategy” to Fuzhou’s 20-year long-term development plan, from the path to prosperity suitable for the Ningde region to developing the reservoir area economy, from deeply reflecting on the fiscal and economic issues of eastern Fujian to proposing the dialectics that “a weak bird may be the first to take flight, and the poorest may become rich first,” [6]6 This is a famous saying by Xi Jinping, using the metaphor of a weak bird to argue that less developed regions can achieve rapid development through hard work and correct strategy. all of this contains General Secretary Xi Jinping’s profound philosophical foundation and scientific thinking methods. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized the use of scientific thinking methods. He has repeatedly stressed that leading cadres at all levels must strive to learn and master scientific thinking methods to enhance their ability to provide political leadership. For young students, scientific thinking methods are not only a sharp tool for learning but also the key to achieving success. To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools. [7]7 This is a classical Chinese saying from the Analects of Confucius, emphasizing the importance of preparation. Only by mastering scientific thinking methods can one analyze things more objectively, comprehensively, and accurately. Young students should consciously take General Secretary Xi Jinping as their example, establish dialectical thinking, strategic thinking, historical thinking, innovative thinking, law-based thinking, systematic thinking, and bottom-line thinking, and exercise and apply scientific thinking methods in their daily work, study, and life.
IV. Telling the Story of the Sincere Feelings General Secretary Xi Jinping Demonstrated While Working in Fujian
While working in Fujian, General Secretary Xi Jinping upheld an unwavering adherence to his original aspiration, an unremitting sense of mission and responsibility, and a deep concern for the people. He deeply engraved doing practical things for the people into his beliefs, always keeping in mind the word “people” before “government,” and used the “four visits to ten thousand households” [8]8 The “four visits to ten thousand households” (四个万家) refers to a mass-line practice of visiting thousands of households to understand their conditions and needs. as an important lever for doing mass work well. He insisted not on aspiring to be a high-ranking official, but on aspiring to do great things. He firmly believed that there are no small matters concerning the interests of the masses, listening carefully to the people’s voices and sincerely handling the people’s affairs.
From benefiting the boat-dwelling families [9] to controlling pollution on the dining table, from caring for sanitation workers to being concerned with the development of the old revolutionary base areas, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s sincere feelings have always been consistent. Serving the people wholeheartedly is the original aspiration and founding mission of Chinese Communists, and General Secretary Xi Jinping has engraved it in his heart and
