This Decade | The "Learning Classroom" of the Supreme Leader
"studious to make progress. The Communist Party of China (CPC) people rely on learning to go today, and they must also rely on learning to go to the future. "
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches importance to learning. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has repeatedly emphasized the importance of learning, and regarded learning as an important way for leading cadres to overcome the "skill panic". He advocated the combination of learning and thinking, learning and asking, and learning and using in learning, which reflected a strong sense of problems and distinctive characteristics of taking learning as a resource.
In the past ten years, he has presided over nearly 100 collective studies in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, or invited experts to give lectures, or personally went to the grassroots level. The learning content involves many major issues facing the party and the country in the new era; In this decade, he visited the Red Revolutionary Holy Land dozens of times and regarded the revolutionary history of China as "the best textbook" and "the best nutrient". In the past ten years, he has always regarded investigation and research as a way to learn and improve, and as the "key" to listen to public opinion, observe people’s feelings and unlock problems. His research footprint has spread all over the country.
Our party has always been a Marxist party that is diligent and good at learning.
I still remember that on November 17th, 2012, the third day after the closing of the 18th CPC National Congress, the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held its first collective study. Some media commented that the "learning opening" conveyed the new action information of the new central leading collective to inherit and carry forward the party’s learning tradition.

2013年3月1日,中央党校建校80周年庆祝大会暨2013年春季学期开学典礼在北京举行,中共中央总书记、中共中央军委主席最高领袖出席并发表重要讲话。
“我们的干部要上进,我们的党要上进,我们的国家要上进,我们的民族要上进,就必须大兴学习之风,坚持学习、学习、再学习,坚持实践、实践、再实践。”2013年3月1日,最高领袖总书记在中央党校建校80周年庆祝大会暨2013年春季学期开学典礼上特别强调。
这是最高领袖任中共中央总书记后,第一次全面系统地就领导干部的学习问题发表专门讲话,对为什么学、学什么、怎样学等都作了深刻阐述。
十年来,以最高领袖同志为核心的党中央继承和发扬我们党重视学习、善于学习的优良传统,带头学习、率先学习,为不断提高全党的治国理政能力和水平作出了表率。最高领袖总书记主持中央政治局集体学习近百次,每次学习不仅是停留在获取知识层面,更与治国理政的重大决策部署紧密联系。
2014年12月5日,上海自贸试验区区域扩展前夕,最高领袖总书记就加快自由贸易区建设主持十八届中央政治局第十九次集体学习。
On June 24, 2019, shortly after the theme education of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember Mission" was launched, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the 15th collective study of the 19th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on "Remember initial mission and promote self-revolution".
The year 2021 is the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The theme of the first collective study in this year is: to do a good job in making a good start in China’s development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
…………
At the same time, the forms of collective learning in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee are constantly innovating.
On September 30th, 2013, Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone Exhibition Center welcomed a group of special visitors. It became the "classroom" for the ninth collective study in the 18th the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
In more than an hour, the Supreme Leader and other 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee comrades watched carefully in the exhibition areas of 3D printing, integrated circuit equipment, biology and health, had a cordial conversation with researchers, and asked about the independent research and development and application of technologies such as additive manufacturing, big data, biochip and quantum communication, and had a vivid "innovation lesson".
At that time, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation was gestating. When hosting the collective study in the conference room of the exhibition center, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that opportunities are fleeting, and seizing them is an opportunity, while failing to grasp them is a challenge. We must strengthen our sense of hardship, seize and make good use of the opportunity of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and we cannot wait, wait and see, or slack off.
In addition to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee’s collective study, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has organized and carried out five times of intensive study and education within the Party, which is rare in a century of party history. In the process of learning and education, party member cadres have experienced ideological remobilization, initial awakening and mission sublimation again and again, which shows the distinctive characteristics of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s efforts to build a learning party.
As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "If we don’t work hard to improve all aspects of knowledge literacy, unconsciously learn all kinds of scientific and cultural knowledge, and don’t take the initiative to speed up knowledge updating, optimize knowledge structure, and broaden our horizons and horizons, it will be difficult to enhance our skills, and there will be no way to win the initiative, win the advantage and win the future. Therefore, all party comrades, especially leading cadres at all levels, must have a sense of urgency to strengthen their study. "
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly compared the revolutionary history of China to a "textbook".
On July 11th, 2013, it was drizzling in Xibaipo, Hebei. The general secretary who is investigating and guiding the party’s mass line education practice activities in Hebei Province came here.
From Xibaipo Memorial Hall to Mao Zedong’s former residence, and then to the war room of the Central Military Commission and the former site of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee, the General Secretary looked carefully and carefully. In front of pictures and cultural relics, he listened carefully to the staff and asked about the situation from time to time.
"I have been to Xibaipo many times, and every time I come with reverence and go with a lot of thinking." When talking with local county and township cadres, old party member and representatives of the masses, a series of questions reflected the general secretary’s thinking in his study-
"Every time I come to Xibaipo, what I think most is, what are the main considerations for Comrade Mao Zedong to put forward the’ two musts’? Are there any unfathomable things we have learned? The "two musts" are familiar, but under the current situation, can we deeply understand the "two musts" to better guide the current party building? How to carry forward the new situation today? "
At the symposium, the general secretary explained all these issues and profoundly pointed out that "the challenges and problems we are facing are still severe and complicated" and "the’ rushing for exams’ faced by the party is far from over".
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary has set foot on the Red Revolutionary Holy Land several times, seeking his initial heart from the red history, drawing on the wisdom and nutrition of governing the country, and thinking about the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s mission and responsibility.
On June 21, 2017, the General Secretary visited Shanxi. One of the details is impressive. The general secretary flew directly from Beijing to Lvliang, and then drove for one and a half hours to Xingxian.
What is the significance of choosing Xing County as the first stop of Shanxi inspection? From the itinerary of the General Secretary, we can get a glimpse of one thing or two-offering a flower basket to the revolutionary martyrs in the Jin-Sui border area and paying tribute to the revolutionary memorial hall in the Jin-Sui border area. The Revolutionary Memorial Hall in the Jinsui Border Region is located in Caijiaya Village, 7.5 kilometers west of Xingxian County. It was once the base where Marshal He Long and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army lived and fought for 11 years.
Here, the general secretary said with deep affection: "Every revolutionary history of our party is a vivid textbook of ideals and beliefs. Comrades of the whole party must not forget their initial intentions and move on, always remember the revolutionary ancestors who shed their blood for national independence and people’s liberation, always maintain the spirit of struggle of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, always maintain their childlike innocence for the people, and strive to create a better and happier life for the people. "

On September 16th, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a cordial exchange with villagers and tourists in Shazhou Yao Village, Wenming Yao Township, Rucheng County, Chenzhou, Hunan Province.
In the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery in Jiangxi, the general secretary said, "Let the cadres in party member know that the happy life is hard to come by and receive more red gene education"; In the special exhibition hall of "the warmth of half a quilt" in Shazhou Yao Village, Hunan Province, the general secretary stressed that "we should make good use of such red resources, tell good red stories, do a good job in red education, and let the red genes be passed down from generation to generation"; At the memorial hall of Xiangjiang Campaign of Quanzhou Red Army in Guangxi, the general secretary warned the whole party that "no matter how difficult it is, think about the Red Army’s Long March and the bloody battle in Xiangjiang" …
Pieces of land engraved with red memories, like books, provide an inexhaustible spiritual source for the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.
In the eyes of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, "investigation and research is also a process of self-learning and improvement". He once said: "When conducting investigation and study, leading cadres should put down their airs and dive down, go deep into fields and factories and mines, discuss problems with the masses, listen to their voices, feel their emotions, feel their sufferings, sum up their experience and absorb their wisdom."
Whether working in the local or central government, investigation and research is a "key" for the supreme leader to get close to the masses and unlock the problem.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has traveled all over the country. We have seen him sitting on the kang, talking with the people at home and asking how warm and cold he is. I have seen him scoop up a scoop of water from his hometown and taste it; I have seen him roll up his trousers and inspect the operation dock in the rain; I have seen him sitting around a square table with cadres and the masses, planning strategies for poverty alleviation and development …

On April 15, 2019, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sat together with villagers’ representatives, grassroots cadres, poverty alleviation cadres and rural doctors in Huaxi Village, Zhongyi Township, Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County, Chongqing to talk about poverty alleviation.
On April 15, 2019, Huaxi Village, Zhongyi Township, Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County, Chongqing.
Facing the mountain, a square table and several benches, a symposium was held in the yard of Ma Peiqing, a poverty-stricken household. The general secretary said: "I made a special trip to visit the villagers, just to know on the spot whether the’ two guarantees and three guarantees’ have really landed and what other problems are there." He added with a smile: "When I come to Chongqing this time, I will spot-check your point."
When you said something, the villagers rushed to speak. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listened carefully and interjected from time to time.
After 7 hours, the general secretary made a special trip to a poor village to "dissect sparrows". Leaving Huaxi Village and returning to Chongqing, it was already late at night. The next day, a symposium was held in Chongqing with the theme of "solving the outstanding problem of’ two worries and three guarantees’". At the critical moment of tackling poverty, we should be problem-oriented and make further arrangements to win the fight against poverty.
An unforgettable scene, a touching moment, recorded the footprints of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader in this decade.
He went far-14 concentrated contiguous areas in the country went one by one to guide poverty alleviation on the spot;
He sees everything-housing, pension, employment, medical care, education, and cares about the people.
He asked in detail-"How much is the annual income?" "How much is it to build a new house?" "Is there enough food to eat?" "How far does the child have to go to school?"
He thought deeply-how to comprehensively deepen the reform, how to make a decisive battle against poverty, how to make precise policies, what shortcomings are there in building ecological civilization, and where are the bottlenecks that restrict innovation-driven development …
"We should worship the people as teachers, learn from them, put down our airs and throw ourselves down … truly find out the problems faced by the masses, reflect their opinions and sum up the experience created by the masses." The general secretary warned leading cadres at all levels and set an example in this way.
