Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

The old man's son was a narcotics officer who sacrificed his life in a narcotics operation.

At that moment, Qi Zhenwu regarded Qi Tongwei as his own child.

Qi Tongwei sat there without saying anything more.

He suddenly remembered the scene of kneeling on the university playground, and also thought of Zhao Lichun's family ancestral graves.

At that time, he valued promotion and position too much, believing that as long as he knelt down, the road ahead would open up.

Now, when I hear an old person speak, my chest tightens.

"Xiao Qi, do you feel like I'm lecturing you by saying these things?"

"no."

"That's good." Qi Zhenwu leaned back against the headboard. "I only have one question for you: from now on, who do you intend to give your power to?"

Qi Tongwei raised his head. "For the people."

Qi Zhenwu frowned and said, "Don't just shout slogans."

Qi Tongwei solemnly said, "We must rely on evidence in handling cases, follow the rules in our work, give those who have been wronged a place to seek justice, serve the people, and be a good policeman."

Qi Zhenwu nodded. "That sounds more like human language."

Footsteps sounded outside, and Hu Longshan stood at the door.

He reminded him, "Director Qi, the connection with the provincial authorities will continue immediately."

The two returned to the courtyard.

In the meeting room, the Standing Committee members had already taken their seats again.

Chen Yanshi placed the enamel mug in his hand on the table.

Qi Zhenwu returned to the front of the screen and nodded to everyone.

Song Yunhui spoke first, "Old hero, how are you feeling?"

"That's good." Qi Zhenwu sat down. "I've learned quite a bit from listening to you all talk."

Sha Ruijin picked up his cup. "Old hero, Elder Chen just shared his revolutionary experiences, and everyone learned a great deal. Do you have anything to add?"

"Yes," Qi Zhenwu replied without hesitation.

Chen Yanshi raised his head and held the enamel mug in both hands.

"Chen Yanshi just talked about the explosive charge and the sacrifices, which was well said," Qi Zhenwu said. "People shouldn't forget their roots, that's true. But after listening for a while, there's still one thing I don't understand."

Sha Ruijin put down his cup. "Please speak, old hero."

Qi Zhenwu posed the question, "Is this meeting about revolution or about ourselves?"

The meeting room fell silent.

Tian Guofu's smile faltered for a moment.

Chen Yanshi removed his hand from the enamel mug and placed it on his knee.

Comrades, I'm not saying these things can't be talked about.

But have you ever considered whether the comrades who sacrificed their lives had the opportunity to make demands?

"No!" Zhou Tiejun and Song Yunhui said in unison.

Qi Zhenwu nodded. "Yes, they're not coming back. They don't know if their families will be able to live a good life or if their children will be able to go to school."

They gave their lives to the revolutionary cause, and the names of their comrades are engraved on the stone tablet.

The organization has not treated those of us who survived unfairly.

The treatment and care you deserve are there.

We cannot, and should not, use our past achievements for personal gain.

Chen Yanshi raised his head, his chest heaving slightly.

It seems to be directed at myself.

Tian Guofu quickly chimed in, "The old hero is right, he's right. Party members and cadres should talk less about themselves and more about their contributions."

Qi Zhenwu looked at Tian Guofu on the screen and said, "Don't be so quick to applaud. I'm talking about everyone."

Tian Guofu stopped talking.

Li Dakang looked down and touched the pen. Tian Guofu was frustrated, but he felt good about it.

Qi Zhenwu continued, "I don't object to you talking about ranks and promotions."

It's normal for Party members to want to improve. However, the core of a democratic life meeting is democracy, which is not about making people bring up past achievements to force the organization to do things for them.

The organization will remember who makes achievements.

If anyone makes a mistake, the organization will investigate.

You can't use your past achievements to ask the organization for anything.

That's too narrow-minded.

No one spoke in the meeting room.

Chen Yanshi's fingers rested on the rim of the vat, remaining motionless for a long time.

These few sentences did not name names, but every word touched on his previous statement.

He talked about his time in the army, joining the Party, and participating in the elite platoon, and also mentioned that he was unable to enjoy the treatment of a vice-ministerial level official due to his age.

Qi Zhenwu did not deny those experiences, but instead steered the conversation back to the duties of a Party member.

Merit is merit, and treatment is treatment; they cannot be used as a way to settle personal favors.

Sha Ruijin sat in the main seat, originally intending to use Chen Yanshi's experience to put pressure on him, but Qi Zhenwu pointed out the problem.

Tian Guofu pursed his lips. "Old hero, your words are very thought-provoking for us. Some cadres these days do indeed place too much importance on personal gains and losses."

"Before criticizing others, ask yourself a question first," Qi Zhenwu replied.

The smile on Tian Guofu's face vanished completely.

Qi Zhenwu then looked at Chen Yanshi and said, "Comrade Chen Yanshi, I killed a lot of Japanese devils back then. How many did you kill?"

Many of my comrades fell in pools of blood, and I was seriously wounded myself. What about you?

Chen Yanshi sat up straight.

He had no connection with Qi Zhenwu; in fact, they didn't know each other at all.

Given his temperament, he should have retorted.

But what the old man was saying was the duty that a Party member should uphold.

It is true that Chen Yanshi participated in the war on the eve of victory and did not suffer too much hardship.

Chen Yanshi was not seriously injured in the war.

He couldn't argue with that, nor could he deny it.

"The old squad leader is right." Chen Yanshi picked up his enamel mug. "When I talked about my experience just now, I absolutely did not mean to ask the organization for special treatment."

"That's good." Qi Zhenwu nodded. "We are all veterans of the War of Resistance against Japan. We have pensions and subsidies. We can't let the young people laugh at us."

Chen Yanshi put down the jar, his ears turning red.

Qi Zhenwu then recalled his experiences in the War of Resistance against Japan and the liberation of Handong.

After he finished speaking, the old man was panting. Qi Tongwei patted the old man's back and brought him water.

Zhou Tiejun stood up and led the applause, saying, "The old hero spoke well!"

Applause erupted from both sides of the conference table.

Song Yunhui clapped along, "Comrades, Old Hero Qi's lesson was very insightful."

Cadres should acknowledge their achievements and admit their mistakes; organizational work should not be dictated by personal emotions.

"Governor Song is right." Gao Yuliang felt he had also benefited. "The old hero reminded us that revolutionary traditions cannot just remain in our memories, much less be used to decorate our image. What we really need to learn is to use power for the benefit of the people."

Li Dakang chimed in, "Governor Song and Secretary Gao summarized it well. The old hero's words were very insightful."

Tian Guofu desperately wanted to make his presence known, so he said, "To sum it up..."

Song Yunhui interrupted Tian Guofu, "Comrade Guofu, don't rush to summarize."

As the old hero just said, before talking about others, ask yourself questions first.

After the meeting, your discipline inspection commission will investigate the issues, and the standards must be unified.

Double standards are absolutely unacceptable!

Tian Guofu's finger stopped on the notebook. "Governor Song, rest assured, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely handle it according to the rules."

After listening to their conversation, Qi Zhenwu spoke again, "There's one more thing."

Sha Ruijin was quite magnanimous, saying, "Old hero, please speak."

"I'm getting old, and there are many things I can't and don't want to manage. But I've heard that some people use anti-corruption as a means to deal with their opponents, and some people use the promotion of cadres as a way to repay favors." Qi Zhenwu's words were truly thought-provoking.

That's incredibly outspoken.
