President Xi Jinping emphasized at the Political Work Conference of the Central Military Commission that teaching by example is better than teaching by words. All levels, especially senior cadres, should set an example and lead by example, inspiring and driving the troops with a solid work style and image. Emphasizing the exemplary and leading role of Party members and cadres, adhering to consistency in words and deeds, leading by example, and leading by example, is an important experience and unique advantage of our military's political work. Practice has shown us that it is not as effective for leaders and cadres to demand people from above and push people from behind as to lead people in the front. On the new journey, we must seize the "key minority" of leading cadres, set an example and lead by example, and strive to inspire and drive the troops with excellent work style and image. Role models are the heirloom of our military's political work. Our army is an armed group that carries out the political tasks of the Party, and it has always been a political requirement for Party members and cadres to lead by example and set a good example. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out: "Communist Party members in the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army should become models of brave combat, execution of orders, adherence to discipline, political work, and internal unity." During the revolutionary war, our military's leading cadres had a high reputation among soldiers, and an important reason was that they always took the lead and were always at the forefront. The commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, Fan Zixia, once said to his troops: "When I advance, follow me. When I stop pushing you, and when I retreat, shoot me!" Comrade Xiao Xiangrong wrote in "The Political Work of the Eighth Route Army" that "in battles, especially in critical situations, the exemplary role of military and political cadres and Communist Party members is very important." "In times of crisis, cadres should lead by example and personally go to the most dangerous and difficult places to mobilize their troops. For over 90 years, our military has always adhered to the principle that a party member is a banner and a cadre is a benchmark. Sacrificing at the critical moment of life and death, struggling through difficulties and hardships, and charging forward in times of urgency and danger, we have used our own image to influence officers and soldiers to dare to charge forward and win. The heavy responsibility of the new journey lies on our shoulders, and it is even more necessary to give full play to the exemplary role of leading cadres, and gather the magnificent force to fight well in the battle to achieve the centenary goal of building the army. The exemplary role itself is the best political work. President Xi Jinping pointed out that "officers and soldiers are not judged by what you say, but by how you do it. Establishing the credibility of political work starts with setting an example and leading by example. Whether the vast number of Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, can set an example and lead by example, is related to the image and prestige of the military's political work, the development and progress of military construction, and the success or failure of the Party's cause. Comrade Xu Shiyou once said about the combat style of the army: "When soldiers are good, soldiers are weak. When there are officials who lead the charge, there are soldiers who are not afraid of death. The good style of the army is achieved through fighting and by commanders." In the Battle of Liberating Hainan Island, 14 officers of the 40th Army led the charge and heroically sacrificed their lives. Leaders and cadres should not only take the lead in killing enemies, but also lead by example in enforcing discipline. Looking back at the glorious history of our party and the people's army, countless party members and cadres have set an example in abiding by discipline and rules, and have won the support and love of officers and soldiers through their actions of "watching me do", promoting the cultivation of excellent work style in the army. The times are changing, and there are more methods and means to do political work, but exemplary leadership is not outdated. Party members and cadres must bear in mind that only by setting an example can they demonstrate persuasiveness, appeal, cohesion, and combat effectiveness. Only by adhering to leading by example and setting a good example can political work truly play a vital role. Unify the power of truth and the power of personality. Political work is the work of cultivating and shaping people, with the mission of educating and guiding them. As a Marxist ruling party, our party not only needs to have a strong power of truth, but also a strong power of personality. The power of truth is concentrated in our party's correct theory, and the power of personality is concentrated in our party's excellent work style. Military political work is the work of being a person, and the vast number of party members and cadres must unify the power of truth and the power of personality to carry out their work. Shouting out loud is not as good as putting on a show. The power of truth relies on leadership cadres with personal strength to apply it. By taking the lead in practicing and leading by example, we can promote scientific theories to enter our minds and hearts, and see what we say and do. The power of personality relies on the power of truth to support and elevate. The words, actions, and every move of the 'key few' will form a culture, advocate a pursuit, and have a wide-ranging impact. It is necessary to ensure that educators receive education first, and those who shape their souls shape their souls first. We must learn one step first and delve deeper, unify our words and actions, and focus on cultivating our ideals, beliefs, party spirit, official ethics, and character. We must use our good image and exemplary role to lead, educate, and motivate people. (New Society)
