2025-11-28   

Frugality nurtures virtue, while extravagance easily corrupts virtue. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle, advocating for simple living, and maintaining the true nature of a Communist Party member. On the new journey, party members and cadres should combine the "low requirements" of material life with the "high standards" of spiritual life, and pursue a lofty spiritual realm. The beginning of extravagance and the gradual decline of danger. Many fallen party members and cadres reflected in their confession letters that they could not resist temptation and loneliness. Starting from paying attention to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, they gradually became ostentatious and extravagant, falling into extravagance and unable to extricate themselves, ultimately paying a painful price. From this, it can be seen that bad habits such as extravagance and indulgence often grow from small to large and from hidden to obvious. It is necessary to catch the small early and prevent the gradual spread. Party members and cadres must cultivate moral integrity, maintain a serious lifestyle, and cultivate a healthy interest in life in order to walk a steady and far-reaching path in life. In particular, they must enhance self-discipline and be cautious and meticulous. Advocating a simple life is an important way to cultivate oneself, cultivate morality and self-respect. It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to be frugal, to abstain from extravagance, and to be simple and thrifty. It is also the nature and fine tradition of the CPC. Comrade Chen Yun made a report in the Yan'an period, and put forward a famous saying, "Look in the mirror when eating", which means not only finishing the meal, but also taking up the plate, drying the oil in the plate with Mantou, so that you can see your own face, in order to promote economy and criticize extravagance and waste. In 1958, Comrade Zhou Enlai accompanied foreign guests to visit the Hongqi People's Commune in Yingcheng. During the meal, the Yingcheng County Committee had prepared a sumptuous dish, but he explicitly requested that only four dishes and one soup be allowed. After dinner, he instructed to give all the other prepared dishes to the nursing home, maternity home, and kindergarten. In the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "no matter what level of development our country reaches, no matter how much the people's lives improve, the ideas of hard work, diligence, and frugality must never be lost." Taking with moderation and using with restraint, being frugal and simple, being rich without extravagance, being frugal with clear aspirations and cultivating virtue, this is one of the important passwords for our party to grow from small to large, from weak to strong, and constantly move from victory to new victories. Simplicity is a way of life, an attitude towards life, and a noble realm. Party members and cadres advocate a simple life, not for show. The attitude demonstrated by Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, in daily life details is by no means a trivial matter. The lifestyle and taste of Party members and cadres not only reflect their own character and image, but also relate to the Party's prestige and image among the masses. They have a demonstrative effect on the formation of social atmosphere and the cultivation of the public's taste in life. Party members and cadres work hard, are diligent and frugal, and take the lead in living a tight life, in order to promote the maximum social and livelihood benefits of limited financial resources, and enable the broad masses of the people to live a better life. Advocating a simple life is also an inevitable requirement for cultivating party spirit. Party members and cadres should not be burdened by material desires, always maintain the lofty aspirations of "revolutionary ideals above heaven", always maintain a positive and upward state, and continue to struggle for the cause of the Party and the people. Never give up on trivial matters, never give up on any achievements. Party members and cadres should always tighten the string of "advocating simple life" with the spirit of nailing nails, set an example in practicing frugality and opposing waste, start from cherishing small things such as a grain of rice, a drop of water, a kilowatt hour of electricity, and a piece of paper, and truly cultivate the good habit of frugality and avoiding extravagance. They should persist in doing everything diligently and frugally, and achieve self-cultivation and prosperity through frugality. At the same time, we should also be advocates and promoters of a simple, moderate, green, and low-carbon lifestyle, and use practical actions to educate and lead relatives and children to be diligent and frugal in managing their homes, reject extravagance and waste, and promote the trend of diligence, thrift, and frugality throughout society.
