Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Well, very good, Hongyi. I can see that you really put in some thought and effort. You are a well-rounded talent."

Xu Qidi's words were spoken from the heart.

Liu Hongyi said modestly, "Secretary Xu, I was mainly inspired by Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li. I think their concerns are justified."

"Reform and opening up have brought our country not only earth-shaking changes in production, economy, science and technology, and national strength, but will also inevitably trigger major debates and clashes in the fields of thought and theory."

"We do need to vigorously develop production, the economy, science and technology, and enhance national strength, but we must not abandon the socialist system. This is the foundation of our country's strength."

"So, in the realm of ideology and theory, it is very necessary to make advance preparations and give our comrades a shot of prevention."

"But Hongyi, have you ever considered that we've just begun reform and opening up, and there are still many cadres in the country, including many leading cadres, who haven't completely liberated themselves ideologically. If we start to impose such strict requirements and implement strict governance now, won't it scare those comrades, making them hesitant and hesitant to move forward?"

Liu Hongyi nodded and said, "Secretary Xu, this possibility definitely exists. There may even be people who take advantage of our determination to strictly govern and oppose reform and opening up and emancipating the mind."

"But nothing is perfect in this world."

"I've reported to you before that any drastic social change progresses in a spiral, never in a straight line."

"So my personal opinion is that we cannot and should not go to extremes."

“It can’t be an either/or situation.”

"It seems that since we are carrying out reform and opening up and promoting the emancipation of the mind, we shouldn't focus on cadre development and strengthen disciplinary inspections. There is no contradiction between the two."

"As for those few cadres who are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, who frighten themselves in their hearts, dare not liberate their minds, and only cling to the old ways, then we can only gradually eliminate these people in the future, gradually marginalize them, and give up their positions of real power."

"And I believe that as long as we remain steadfast in the general direction of reform and opening up, more and more people will emancipate their minds. So there's really no need to worry too much about this."

“Only when the waves wash away the sand can its true nature be revealed.”

"The wheel of time is rolling forward and will help us complete this elimination task."

Xu Qidi burst into laughter, reached out and tapped him, saying, "You, have you always been so confident in what you insist on?"

Isn’t that right?

I've been there...

Liu Hongyi smiled and bowed, saying, "Secretary Xu, I'm young and may not be thoughtful enough, so I'd appreciate your criticism and correction. But as a Party member, I believe I can and should stick to my ideals and choices."

"You are right. As a Party member, you should have your own persistence and responsibility."

"Hongyi, these suggestions you've made are very good. I will carefully consider them. When the time is right, I will report to the leadership and communicate with those veteran comrades as necessary."

"You're right about Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li. They're also working for this team and this country. They just focus on different things."

"While we adhere to reform and opening up and stride forward, we also insist on strengthening team building and strengthening discipline inspection. I believe that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li will also recognize this."

Yes, Secretary Xu!

What I want to strive for with all my strength is their recognition of you, Xu Qidi.

"By the way, Hongyi, has Wenxin contacted you since she went to MIT?"

After talking about business, Xu Qidi talked about personal matters in a more relaxed manner.

Liu Hongyi quickly replied, "Yes, Wenxin writes to me about once a month, sometimes every twenty days or half a month. It depends on how busy she is with her studies."
