The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that the red gene should be inherited and the red blood should be continued. Looking back on the course of our party's struggle for more than 100 years, the red gene has a long history, and in the great practice of revolution, construction, reform, and rejuvenation, its connotation has become richer and brighter under the historical background and realistic observation.
Firm ideals and beliefs are the soul of the red gene. The way to govern the army is to cast the soul first. Lofty ideals and firm convictions are the "soul" of revolutionary soldiers. This is the red factor in the blood of our army, which is absolutely pure and cannot be polluted in any way, and it is also the red factor that every member of the revolutionary army must loyally maintain and absolutely believe. Under the leadership of the party, our army has strengthened its own ideals and beliefs, forged its inner soul, and always maintained the essential nature of the revolutionary army in different historical periods and in different living and development environments.
Serving the people wholeheartedly is the foundation of the red gene. This is the foundation of our army's invincible position. Comrade profoundly pointed out: "The deepest roots of the greatness of war are found in the people. "Over the past 97 years, our army has fought bravely for the liberation of the people, bravely shouldered heavy burdens for the happiness of the people, stood up to protect the safety of the people, and made the true colors of the "people's soldiers" shine with practical actions. As a victorious division with a glorious history, only by always adhering to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, consistently planting the red gene, and continuously cultivating the natural roots between the army and the people, can we always maintain the original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and gather the source of motivation to promote the rejuvenation of the country and the army.
The fighting spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death is the power of the red gene. The strength is not only in the material, but also in the spirit. An important magic weapon for our army to defeat the enemy is the fighting spirit of not fearing hardship and death. This spirit comes from the red gene flowing in the blood of our army. In an extremely arduous environment and on the battlefield where bullets and bullets are raining, our party and our army have defied all difficulties and defeated all enemies with the spirit of not fearing hardship and death, and have created countless miracles, inspiring officers and men to consciously inherit this fighting spirit no matter what kind of opponent they hold in their hands and what kind of opponent they face, take the initiative to temper their faith and confidence in daring to fight and win, forge the will and quality of courage to sacrifice, and always maintain the bloody courage of revolutionary soldiers.
Revolutionary discipline with a high degree of consciousness and prohibition is the power of the red gene. The power of the red gene comes from the revolutionary discipline of our army, which is highly conscious and prohibitive. Our army has continued to inherit the glorious tradition of "three major disciplines and eight points of attention," constantly established and perfected laws and regulations, armed their minds with the party's innovative theories, and enlightened officers and men with meticulous ideological and political education, so that officers and men will consciously strengthen their sense of command and organizational discipline, and always ensure that all actions are obeyed by commands and that they can win victory in unison.
The innovative consciousness of flexibility and the courage to reform is the enzyme of the red gene. This enzyme is the enzyme of vitality, the enzyme of innovation, and the enzyme that adapts to the environmental task of continuous metabolism and innovation. It is precisely because of the abundant innovative enzymes contained in the red gene that our army has always been able to actively adjust and adapt itself in different periods and in the face of different environmental situations and tasks, and has achieved self-innovation and self-improvement in terms of ideology and organizational structure, from institutional establishment to strategy and tactics, and has made firm progress toward building a world-class army.
While deeply understanding the rich connotation of the red gene, we should closely follow the vivid practice of strengthening the army and rejuvenating the army in the new era, find the right starting point for work, and constantly promote the integration of the red gene into the bloodline and sustainable inheritance. It is necessary to thoroughly study and implement the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the idea of strengthening the army, continue to carry out traditional education on party history and military history, and effectively enhance the ideological consciousness and action consciousness of continuing to inherit the red gene. The standard of combat effectiveness runs through all aspects of the entire process of training and work of the troops, combined with major drills, competitions and other tasks, constantly exercise the ability to fight and win battles, promote the integration of red gene inheritance into training, enter the combat position, hone the will to quality, and cultivate the fighting spirit. It can optimize the integration of military and local red resources, educate officers and soldiers through various forms, and ensure the inheritance effect of red genes.
