To be a person, one must have character, and to be an official, one must have official ethics. At the Political Work Conference of the Central Military Commission, President Xi Jinping deeply analyzed the deep-seated contradictions and problems that need to be solved in the current political construction of the military, emphasizing that these problems are manifested in politics, ideology, organization, style, discipline, and other aspects, rooted in ideals and beliefs, party spirit cultivation, and official ethics and character. Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, should persistently cultivate their official ethics and character, build a moral high ground deep in their souls, and become models of clean self-discipline, clean use of power, and clean governance. A country cannot prosper without virtue, and a person cannot stand without virtue. President Xi Jinping pointed out that "morality has fundamental significance for both individuals and society. The first priority in being a person and doing things is to uphold morality and cultivate oneself." Our party and military have always attached great importance to moral construction and insisted on using "morality" as an important criterion for measuring and evaluating people. Moral standards should be upheld, so we should not be misled by material things. "Mingda De, observing public morality, and strictly adhering to personal morality are the guidelines for the vast number of officers and soldiers to establish themselves as individuals, serve the country in the military, fulfill their duties and responsibilities, and do their work well. They are the foundation for maintaining their true colors and building a good image. Communists and revolutionary soldiers serve the great public, uphold the great righteousness, and seek the greater self. They must also have a righteous and upright heart, uphold virtue and self-respect, always put the Party and the people in the highest position in their hearts, and be a person who is dedicated to serving the public, upright, and spotless. Virtue is not worthy of position, there will be disasters. Some leading cadres often stumble not on their abilities, but on their moral character; It's not about doing things, but about being a good person. Before the sacrifice of the martyr Hongyan, he left behind the "Eight Prison Rules" for the party organization, the first of which was to "prevent corruption among leading members". On the other hand, some leading cadres who have lost their integrity and violated laws and regulations mostly start with lax conduct, misconduct, and moral decay. For example, a lack of professional conscience, a misplaced view of political achievements, a failure to defend one's work style, and a decline in family upbringing and ethics. The virtue of governance lies in constant practice. In the new era and new journey, Party members and cadres should be good at drawing nutrients from traditional Chinese virtues, feeling the style from heroic figures and role models of the times, improving their cultivation through cultivating internal strength, taking the lead in practicing political morality, professional ethics, social morality, family virtues, and personal morality, and truly achieving self-cultivation with morality, establishing authority with morality, and serving the people with morality. Among them, political integrity is the fundamental requirement of the Party and the people for Party members and cadres, professional ethics and social morality are mainly the obligation requirements of the state and society for Party members and cadres, and family virtues and personal morality are mainly the basic requirements of Party members and cadres for themselves. These aspects have their own emphasis and guidance, and are mutually integrated and complementary. Dao cannot be discussed, and virtue cannot be discussed in empty words. Leaders and cadres should not only be strict with self-cultivation, but also put into action, correctly handle the relationship between public and private, righteousness and benefit, right and wrong, right and wrong, hardship and pleasure, and reflect on themselves when they see the virtuous, and reflect on their own shortcomings. Persist in telling the truth, doing honest things, and being honest people, dare to uphold truth, be good at independent thinking, adhere to seeking truth and being pragmatic, and guard against formalism and bureaucracy. Establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, effectively solve the problems of who to build political achievements for, what kind of achievements to build, and on what basis to build political achievements, do more things that lay the foundation and benefit the long run, do not engage in blind comparison that is divorced from reality, and do not engage in image and political achievement projects that are laborious and costly. Always maintain the political integrity of honesty and integrity, guard the ideological defense line, the bottom line of power, the red line of law and discipline, and the boundary of family tradition, be a clean and honest person, do things cleanly, and be an honest official, firmly establish the official ethics and character of communists and revolutionary soldiers, and strive to win people's hearts and unite them with noble moral conduct.
