A few days ago, I received a call from soldier Xiao Huang, who is studying at the Armed Police Academy. I remember last year, Xiao Huang registered for the military academy entrance examination, but suddenly had a high fever during the physical fitness pre examination of the detachment. If he misses this pre exam, he will miss out on his dream of attending a military academy. The leader of the detachment learned that Xiao Huang has excellent military and political qualities, and decided to build a ladder for his personal growth. After consulting with the headquarters and meeting the requirements, the detachment arranged a make-up exam specifically for him. Xiao Huang worked hard all the way and finally achieved a good result of fifth place in the overall team, and was admitted to the military academy as he wished. A powerful lift changed Xiao Huang's life path and won the sincere trust of officers and soldiers in the organization. I still remember the day when Xiao Huang received the admission letter from the military academy, he was thrown up high by his comrades and cheered, and the sunlight shone through the dense leaves on his smiling face. At that moment, I felt that political work was not about how high the tone was, but about how much practical work had been done; The value of political cadres does not lie in how big an official they are, but in whether they truly cultivate, shape, and guide people with heart and emotion. The work they do can boost military morale, stimulate motivation and vitality, and win trust and confidence. The smile of officers and soldiers is the most beautiful medal in political work, and their recognition is the greatest praise for our political cadres. As long as it is something welcomed and laughed at by the people, it must be done to the end no matter how difficult it is; As long as it is something that the people are unhappy about or keep their mouths shut, we must never do it! ”President Xi's words have strong guiding significance for us to do a good job in political work. For the political work of the military, whether a matter should be promoted and how effective it should be implemented, grassroots officers and soldiers have the most genuine experience and the most say. Adhering to the principle of 'doing things that make officers and soldiers smile until the end, and resolutely refusing to do things that make officers and soldiers sneer' is not only a leadership art and work method, but also a direct reflection of whether political cadres have firmly established the concept of the masses and whether they have a sense of service. Political work is not cold instructions, but a sincere response to the expectations of officers and soldiers by exchanging hearts; Holding high the torch of faith and belief, illuminating the path forward for officers and soldiers. Changing work style cannot wait for the wind to come, but must face the wind. The "facial expressions" of officers and soldiers should become a "barometer" for us to test political work - whether it is sunny or cloudy, whether it is happy or worried, all directly reflect whether the direction of work is correct, whether the methods are practical or not, and whether the results are good or not. Since the continuous deepening of political training, I have also constantly reflected on the work style deviations and guidance misconceptions that exist in government agencies on a daily basis: some political cadres always feel that they have put in a lot of effort, but the officers and soldiers do not recognize or buy it, and even "do bad things with good intentions". One important reason is the separation of the internal unity between being responsible to superiors and being responsible to subordinates, which only acts based on the "looks" of superiors and not the "faces" of officers and soldiers, leading political work into a vicious cycle of self design, self circulation, and self-service. The problem of political work spinning around has existed for a long time and is an urgent issue that we need to address. As a grassroots political official, every move of the officers and soldiers is observed. We should take the initiative to lower our bodies, shift our gaze downwards, and focus our thoughts downwards: run more to the grassroots level to understand the real situation on the front line; Ask more officers and soldiers, listen to their true demands; Go to the scene more often and always sit on the same bench with the officers and soldiers thinking about problems. We should fully respect, trust, and rely on officers and soldiers, combine ideological education, humanistic care, and psychological counseling, and build a platform for officers and soldiers to grow and succeed, create conditions for accomplishing tasks, and create an environment for fair competition. Do more concrete actions that ignite passion, inspire motivation, and help realize dreams, so that officers and soldiers can see the direction clearly in their struggle and accumulate strength in their progress. Transforming from "waiting and observing" to "forward service", and from "passive response" to "active coordination", we aim to be in front of the officers and soldiers in everything and handle every matter in our hearts, making political work more warm and practical.
