Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

As he spoke, Chu Shijun's gaze swept over all the youth representatives, leaders at all levels, and invited guests, and he said in a serious tone:

"I have repeatedly emphasized that the essence of development is for the people. GDP is cold and project data is static, but the responsibility of our cadres, the warmth of people's livelihood, and the sense of gain of the masses are real."

"This year, our province's performance evaluation system has been completely restructured. People's livelihood achievements, grassroots work, and public reputation have become the core criteria for selecting and appointing cadres. In the future, those who are superficial, detached from the masses, obsessed with empty fame and achievements, and indifferent to people's livelihood will have no future. On the contrary, those who are rooted in the grassroots, deeply engaged in practical work, concerned about the people, and silently dedicated will have a platform, opportunities, and a future."

"Here, I propose that all levels of the organizing committees across the province regard young grassroots cadres, selected graduates, and college students serving on the front lines as the core reserve force for the long-term development of Baijiang. We should look at their commitment, their achievements, and their public support, not their age or background."

"Targeted assistance must not be a passing fad or a formality. This is our political responsibility to empower others and promote mutual progress in Baijiang. It must not be a training ground for cadres to gain experience or a stepping stone for temporary assignments. We must regard the front line of cross-provincial targeted assistance as the main battlefield and testing ground for young cadres to temper their original aspirations, hone their skills, and take on the responsibility of serving the people."

"All young comrades who voluntarily cross provincial borders to dedicate themselves, take root in other places, provide effective assistance, and benefit the people will be given priority attention, training, and use by the Provincial Party Committee. Those who are physically on the front line of assistance but whose hearts are in local government offices, who are just trying to coast along, accumulate seniority, and do only superficial work, will be subject to strict assessment, timely adjustment, and zero tolerance."

"The young comrades who were just commended have proven with their actions that our cross-provincial assistance is not a grandiose or empty task, but a real commitment. Working at the grassroots level in other places is not a hardship, but a brand new stage."

"They may not have any earth-shattering achievements, but they have been steadfastly working in other places day after day, doing solid work in helping others, and implementing practical measures to improve people's lives. But it is precisely these small things and practical things that have polished our reputation for being pragmatic and serving the people, solidified the foundation of mutual assistance and counterpart support, and warmed the hearts of the people."

"Serving as an official in one's term means bringing benefits to the region, and helping a place develop its economy. Our efforts to develop industries, optimize governance, improve people's livelihoods, and promote counterpart assistance are, in essence, aimed at both strengthening the foundation of people's livelihoods in Xinjiang and empowering underdeveloped areas with the strength of Xinjiang to help people from other provinces live better lives."

"We hope that all cadres in the province will take these outstanding team members and youth pioneers as role models, immerse themselves in grassroots work, and focus on improving people's livelihoods. They should do less paperwork and more practical things that benefit the people, upholding their original aspiration of hard work. Let practical work for the people become the most enduring, distinctive, and deeply rooted new ethos in Baijiang, and let tangible results in improving people's lives support Baijiang's long-term high-quality development!"

'Pa pa pa pa'

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.

……

After the meeting, everyone spoke in hushed tones and left in an orderly fashion.

The university presidents present, such as the president of Tianhe University, were all smiles, walking with a swagger. Touching the medals and certificates of their outstanding student Ye Fan, they looked at him with the expression of "my precious son," and said to the students from the university who came with them, "We should learn from your senior. You all see, under the wise leadership of Secretary Chu, as long as you are pragmatic, responsible, and work hard, you will not be overlooked."

"Understood, Principal Jiang, we will definitely learn from Senior Ye." The students looked at the medals with envy.

"Studying alone is not enough. After returning, each person should write a 2,000-word reflection on today's conference."

After saying that, Principal Jiang ignored the students' crestfallen faces and turned to Ye Fan, saying, "Ye Fan, you took five days off, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Alright, I'll trouble you to go back to the school these next couple of days and talk to the younger students about your work, so they can understand," the principal paused, "Also, the school is organizing a student activity the day after tomorrow, you should go with them too. I'll change the address, the school will pay, you'll go climb Mount Tai, step by step, and tell them about the hardships of grassroots workers, is that alright?"

Mount Tai?

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, but seeing the principal's earnest gaze, he nodded. "Principal, I am honored to have this opportunity. I will definitely do my best to pass on my experience to the younger students and share my real work experiences."

"Good, very good, excellent. You truly deserve to be an outstanding student of our school." Principal Jiang nodded in satisfaction.

There are many more scenarios like this.

Five of the award recipients were students from universities in Xinjiang, and the principals or secretaries of those students who were present were all beaming with joy.

But the other university presidents weren't so happy; they all left with long faces.

the other side.

Chu Shijun walked in front, with Ye Wentao and Lin Xiangjun walking beside him.

"Xiang Jun, today you received the only honor from outside the province, the Special Honor for Outstanding Youth in Grassroots Work in Xinjiang Province," Chu Shijun said calmly. "Let me ask you privately, what are your true feelings as you stand on the podium and receive this medal?"

"Secretary Chu, to be honest, I never expected to receive this award from Baijiang. When I first heard the news, I was caught off guard and very excited."

Lin Xiangjun smiled faintly, holding the certificate in one hand and touching the medal on her chest with the other.

"After standing on the stage, my biggest feeling was not how glamorous the honor was, but that I felt that doing things diligently would really be seen, and that my perseverance in a foreign land would not be in vain."

"For the past two years, I have been stationed in remote villages in Agui. The mountain roads are long and the conditions are harsh. Many of the tasks are trivial and complicated. We repaired roads and brought water, helped farmers sell their products, took care of left-behind children, and mediated neighborhood disputes. There were no earth-shattering events. Every day was about sticking to our posts in the villages. To be honest, sometimes I worried that my efforts in helping others in other places and working hard in silence might go unnoticed and unrecognized."

"But standing on this platform today, I fully understand that the organization's orientation has never been about who stands close or high, but about who is deep and hardworking. This medal is not an embellishment to my resume, but more like a weighty recognition and a responsibility that I must always be vigilant about."

"I am a graduate of Handong University. I was deeply influenced by you and other seniors of Handong University. When I took the initiative to participate in the external assistance work of Handong, I have now gained recognition. This does not represent myself, but the style and pragmatic image of thousands of grassroots cadres."

"Going forward, I will continue to dedicate myself to the front line of poverty alleviation, earnestly help the people solve their problems and help the local area develop. I will turn this honor into motivation, put my pragmatic work style into every little thing, and never let you down. I will carry forward the practical responsibility of students from Wuhan University."

After listening to the entire text, Ye Wentao had only one thought: If you can't succeed, who can? This is just like writing a long essay.
