Thanks to the efforts of countless revolutionary martyrs and people with lofty ideals, our lives have long been far away from the smoke of war. Some young people feel that the Long March spirit and revolutionary feelings have become "past tense", which is incompatible with the emphasis on "interests" and "pragmatism" under the market economy. Money worship and hedonism have become popular ... How should contemporary young people view the Long March spirit in a peaceful environment in the new era? How to carry forward and inherit the spirit of the Long March? A few days ago, the reporter interviewed some members of the All-China Youth Federation and student representatives on this topic.
"Forgetting the spirit of the Long March is betrayal"
"The indifference to the spirit of the Long March is first of all due to the deviation in understanding the spirit of the Long March." On October 25th, 65438/KLOC-0, when visiting the exhibition in China People's Revolutionary Military Museum, some members of Beijing All-China Youth Federation told reporters.
Some people mistakenly understand the spirit of the Long March as the spirit of hard struggle. In an interview with reporters, many members of the All-China Youth Federation believed that the spirit of the Long March was first and foremost a persistent spirit of communist belief. Zhou Jingping, member of the All-China Youth Federation and director of the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, has contacted a large number of economic criminals because of his working relationship. He has a deep understanding of the spirit of the Long March: "Judging from the large number of economic crimes we have investigated in recent years, almost all the criminals have shaken their revolutionary ideals and beliefs. Under the temptation of interests, they lost their will, ignored the party discipline and state laws, and fell into the abyss of crime, becoming a note of social disharmony. I believe that vigorously advocating the spirit of the Long March among contemporary youth and establishing firm revolutionary ideals and beliefs are the vital ideological foundation for us to build a harmonious society, and we must consolidate this foundation. "
The Long March has gone far beyond the simple historical concept, and it has become an important source of spiritual motivation for the whole nation. "The spirit of the Long March is the highest embodiment of the great national spirit with patriotism as the core in the historical background at that time." Wu Richev, member of the All-China Youth Federation and dean of the Sculpture Art College of Inner Mongolia Normal University, said. In his view, the spirit of the Long March is a firm belief, an indomitable spirit of self-improvement, a collective spirit of sharing life and death, solidarity and mutual assistance, and a spirit of hard struggle that is not afraid of difficulties and brave in struggle.
"In the arduous war years, countless revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their heads and shed blood for national independence and people's liberation, created a miracle on earth that engulfed mountains and rivers, and showed unparalleled revolutionary heroism. This great national spirit with patriotism as the core still has a powerful force to inspire people to forge ahead, and it is a powerful driving force and precious wealth that always inspires us to overcome difficulties and forge ahead. If you forget the spirit of the Long March, it means betrayal. " Zhang Juan, deputy director of Beijing Green Cross Ecological Culture Communication Center, and Huang Haijun, professor of School of Economics and Management, Beihang University, two members of the All-China Youth Federation expressed their feelings to reporters after the visit.
At the scene, a young mother who visited the exhibition said to her young son, "I brought you to the exhibition not only to tell you that our life is hard-won, but also to make you a China person who will never stand up like those uncles of the Red Army."
"The spirit of the Long March is the precious wealth left by the older generation of revolutionaries and revolutionary martyrs to our whole nation." Uzhchev said, "Today's younger generation often lacks some perseverance and a little style of taking care of the overall situation. I have no objection to the younger generation enjoying the fruits of reform, opening up and modern civilization. But I think if we study hard, work hard and live frugally like the older generation of revolutionaries, our life will be better. "
Liu Kai, vice chairman of the All-China Youth Federation, chairman of the All-China Federation of Students, and a student from Peking University, spoke on behalf of young students at the conference commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March on122. He told reporters: "Today's young students may still be looking for the spiritual essence of the Long March, looking for that kind of character that is more or less lost but very important today. Because it is the boiling blood of our nation. "
"Now is the new century, the new Long March"
Dr. Zuo Chuanchang, member of the All-China Youth Federation and deputy director of the Macroeconomic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, told reporters: "Now is the new century and the new long March. The new era has a new theme, and the times have given the spirit of the Long March a new connotation. The CPC Central Committee proposed that Scientific Outlook on Development was one of them. Independent innovation is also the requirement of the times, but it is not a simple matter. It needs policy support and people's support. "
For the new Long March, his understanding is: Now we are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges in history, and the task of reform and development is very arduous. There is no mature experience for economic development, such as macro-control, which is as difficult as capturing a fortress in the war. Therefore, we should mobilize the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to make joint efforts. This is a new long March that we must carry out in the new century. "Unswerving ideals and beliefs, indomitable pioneering and innovation, and unswerving hard struggle are the embodiment of the Long March spirit in the new era." Liu Kai said, "In today's globalization and informationization, creativity is the first competitiveness to some extent. Innovation means learning more, thinking hard and daring to challenge. The completion of a paper and an activity may be easy or difficult. In fact, it depends on whether we think hard, dare to find another way, or even dare to challenge the existing authority. Innovation is the soul of a nation and the most precious spiritual wealth of a group of passionate young people. " "I don't need to see other exhibitions. No matter how busy I am, I will come to see this exhibition. It is very important to carry forward the spirit of the Long March, specifically to carry forward the spirit of the times of hard struggle, reform and innovation today. " Qin, member of the All-China Youth Federation and chairman of Beijing Renchuang Technology Group, has a deep understanding of this: 1985, he proposed to use aeolian quartz sand from Inner Mongolia desert instead of zircon sand imported from Australia as a precision casting material. At that time, the cost of importing zircon sand from China was 7,000 yuan a ton, while the price of quartz sand from Inner Mongolia was only 10 yuan a ton. However, at that time, most people thought that this idea was impossible. However, he started his scientific research with confidence and determination. He used his salary to buy materials for research, failed more than 6,000 times in three years, and used more than 9,000 kilograms of sand, finally overcoming many difficulties. 1990 successfully developed the technology of "high-temperature-resistant coated sand" and its products, which filled a gap in the international foundry industry. Thanks to independent innovation, they have the current automation equipment and production base, developed more than 50 scientific research achievements with independent intellectual property rights, became the first batch of innovative pilot enterprises in China, and gradually formed the current "sand industry".
"The spirit of the Long March will benefit us for life"
This summer, more than 80 college students from the capital went to six provinces and cities, including Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Beijing, to carry out social practice activities with the theme of "Re-taking the Long March Road and Promoting Love for China". Following the footsteps of the Red Army's predecessors, we have a deeper understanding of the Long March spirit and how to inherit it. "Re-taking the harvest precipitated by the social practice of the Long March Road, this personally felt Long March spirit will benefit us for life, and I feel the heavy responsibility on the shoulders of contemporary youth more and more deeply. Looking back on the Long March, we saw the shabby clothes and eager eyes of children in poor mountainous areas, and saw the simple houses of farmers and deep wrinkles on their faces. What poor and remote areas lack is not only the resources to promote economic development and the space to develop economic products, but also the technology and high-quality talents to promote economic development. " Yang Guo, a student at China Communication University, said.
Zuo Chuanchang was once a member of the doctoral group sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to Luzhou, Sichuan, and walked many places during the one-year Red Army Long March. He said with emotion: "Many of these places are poverty-stricken areas, and Xian Yi, old and young, has made outstanding contributions to the victory of the Long March. In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and building a harmonious society, the development of the border areas of the old and the young is a weak link. If the economies of these areas are underdeveloped, then a harmonious society will be incomplete. "
In 2003, the print "Canglang White Deer Plain" created by Uzhchev won the gold medal, the highest prize in China Art Exhibition. "As an art educator and creator, I will cultivate students with artistic morality, educate future generations with quality, express tragic and wonderful history with unique art, and also show the prosperity of the present and the future and promote the development of harmonious culture." Canglang Bailuyuan embodies a harmonious culture and a concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. I want to carry forward the spirit of the Long March through further excavation of this cultural heritage and continuous innovation in its forms of expression, and make my modest contribution to the construction of a harmonious society. "
Zhou Jingping said: "As a younger generation, we should cherish it even more, run the class well with practical actions, pass on the spirit of the Long March forged by the older generation forever, make active efforts to realize the unfinished business of revolutionary martyrs, and build our motherland and socialist cause even better. Preventing and cracking down on economic crimes, maintaining economic security and promoting social harmony are the legal duties of the economic investigation police in China. We must base ourselves on our own duties, constantly inspire and spur ourselves with the spirit of the Long March that is not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, always be loyal to the people at all costs, strictly enforce the law, and work hard to build a democratic and legal system in a harmonious socialist society. "
"What we have is young enthusiasm, firm belief and rich knowledge. This spiritual wealth is endless. Perhaps our personal energy is insignificant, but together we can make a single spark start a prairie fire. In the future, whether it is a high-quality teacher fighting in the front line or a worker committed to the development of science, education, culture and health in the motherland, we will never forget to inherit the spirit of the Long March. " Yang Guo said.
Liu Kai said: "On the new journey, I think the Long March spirit has left young people not only thinking and learning, but also a kind of practice, which has been transformed into an act of firm belief and hard study, into a character of learning to cooperate and not being afraid of difficulties, and into an optimistic, open-minded and brave and innovative character. I believe that casting the spirit of the Long March in our youth will be particularly dazzling. "
Luo Dongchuan, member of the All-China Youth Federation and deputy director of the Supreme People's Court Research Office, said in an interview that the difficulties and problems we are facing now cannot be compared with the life and death of the Long March. People should aim high and strive to make contributions to the country and society in order to realize the value of life. In the process of developing market economy, we should not only see economic benefits and interests, but also jump out of individualism, truly establish ideals and make contributions to the country's prosperity and national rejuvenation. In this way, when I look back on my life in the future, I won't regret wasting my life.
