Grasping the "no self" and "self" perspectives on political achievements
2026-04-01
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that 'success does not necessarily belong to me, and success must have my own spiritual realm, and I will wholeheartedly promote Chinese style modernization'. Leaders and cadres must firmly establish a correct view of political achievements in their work and entrepreneurship, grasp the dialectical relationship between "selflessness" and "having oneself". They must not only achieve success in their spiritual realm, but also have a historical responsibility for it. With "selflessness", they can achieve their "greater self". Adhere to the principle of putting the people first and pursue the realm of 'selflessness'. The people are the creators of history. Without the people, we will achieve nothing. "The selfless can be regarded as a political party." As a Marxist ruling party, the CPC does not have any special interests of its own. It always puts the interests of the masses first and pursues a realm of "selflessness". Whether leading cadres carry out their work with the masses in mind and wholeheartedly serve the people, the results and effects obtained are different. How to handle the relationship between public and private, personal and personal, better benefit the people, and test the political stance and party spirit of leading cadres. The realm of 'selflessness' is for the greater good, for upholding righteousness, and for seeking the greater self. At any time and under any circumstances, leading cadres must never forget the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and must not abandon the historical materialist viewpoint that the masses are the true heroes. In daily work, they should always prioritize the interests of the people, consider their well-being more, and minimize personal hardships. They should effectively solve the urgent difficulties and worries of the people, always empathize with them, share joys and sorrows, stand and work together. Comrade Mao Zedong deeply criticized the subjective learning style and attitude in "Transforming Our Learning", that is, "not paying attention to studying the current situation, not paying attention to studying history, and not paying attention to the application of Marxism Leninism". Subjectivism is often reflected in the view of political achievements, which is often due to a strong sense of "self" consciousness, starting from personal or small group interests, and ignoring objective laws and deviating from development goals. This is precisely the root cause of some leading cadres suffering from the "political achievement impulse syndrome" of rushing to achieve results and blindly taking risks. The style of "selflessness" is the adherence to the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, which requires overcoming personal positions and interests, starting from objective reality, making subjective wishes conform to objective reality, and promoting career development on the basis of following objective laws. Strengthen investigation and research, go to the grassroots and the masses more deeply, truly understand the situation and identify the problems, so as to make the countermeasures and plans in line with the actual situation, objective laws, and scientific spirit. Can we break free from the limitations of the "individual" and view problems from a global perspective, reflecting the political consciousness and ideological pattern of party members and cadres. We often say 'the whole country plays a game of chess'. Since it is a' game of chess', leading cadres should not only be good 'chess players' in their respective positions, but also be good at making good decisions from playing the whole game of chess. Sometimes, the reason for neglecting one aspect of work may not necessarily be a problem of ability, but rather a problem of vision and perspective. Indeed, different regions and fields have different goals and tasks, as well as different policy priorities. However, if one only considers the interests of the local region and department when making decisions, the result often cannot reach the optimal solution. The way of governance can take into account both the bigger and smaller aspects. Leaders and cadres should not only base themselves on the responsibilities and positioning of their respective regions and departments, but also be good at putting themselves in the overall picture and achieving "selflessness". They should seek both local and global goals, strive for the glory of their own areas and add color to the overall picture, and creatively implement the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee. Pursuing 'selflessness' also requires a correct view of' having me '. Objectively speaking, 'having me' is a necessary requirement for fulfilling duties and responsibilities. Each leader has different professional strengths in their respective positions, and should pay attention to making good use of their own advantages, fully exerting subjective initiative, and daring to take on responsibilities. When urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks come, have more 'me'; In the face of personal fame and fortune, there should be more 'selflessness', and the unity of' having me 'and' selflessness' should be carried out in practical actions to fulfill responsibilities for the Party and the people, striving to create excellent achievements recognized by the people.
