  Integrating theory with practice is one of the glorious traditions and fine styles of our party, and it is an important guarantee for our party to lead the people to win the revolution, construction and reform. Insisting on integrating theory with practice is of great significance to continuously improve the Marxist theoretical level of the whole party, consciously use theory to guide practice, and transform the party’s scientific theory into a powerful force to promote the realization of the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream of the Chinese nation.

  In the great practice of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we interviewed some cadres and experts in party member on how to further integrate theory with practice.

  Insist on seeking truth from facts and proceed from reality in everything.

  Inheriting and carrying forward the fine style of integrating theory with practice means insisting on seeking truth from facts and proceeding from reality.

  In all work, we must proceed from the actual situation, respect the objective facts, find out the inherent laws of things, and make our subjective understanding consistent with the objective laws, so as to do things well. China’s fight against poverty has won a comprehensive victory, creating another miracle in history, which is inseparable from the fine style of cadres and the masses to vigorously carry forward the integration of theory with practice.

  Eliminating poverty, improving people’s livelihood and achieving common prosperity are the essential requirements of socialism. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way by 2020. The reality is that there were still nearly 100 million poor people in China at that time, and the incidence of poverty in six provinces exceeded 20%. Only eight years, it is not easy to win the battle against poverty.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made a series of new decisions and new arrangements, and further promoted the theory and practice of poverty alleviation and development to a new height. In November 2013, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Shibadong Village, Huayuan County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province, and sat down with the villagers for in-depth exchanges, and put forward a precise poverty alleviation strategy for the first time.

  "Accurate poverty alleviation, emphasizing the shift of poverty alleviation targets from the past regions to poor families and poor people, is a major breakthrough in the existing poverty alleviation model. It is like a key to open a lock, adapting to local conditions and classifying policies to make poverty alleviation work more targeted and effective. " Chen Chun Qing, the first secretary of the General Office of Jiangxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference stationed in Pibian Village, Xunkou Town, lichuan county, was deeply impressed.

  Chen Chunqing further introduced that the situation of each poor household is different, some are poor due to illness, some are lack of technology, and some are lack of motivation for their own development. To this end, they went door-to-door to visit and investigate, understand the situation one by one, formulate assistance measures one by one, pay more attention to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, create more technical training opportunities for young people, and properly arrange public welfare posts for left-behind women.

  "The development conditions of each village are also different, some are weak in natural endowment conditions, and some are backward in infrastructure such as transportation. Compared with other villages, the grassroots party organizations in Pibian Village are weak and scattered, which once became a short board restricting the development of the village collective economy. " Chen Chunqing said that they specially set up party member Activity Day, reclaimed demonstration fields in party member, and played a leading role in demonstration by village cadres and party member, which not only mobilized the enthusiasm of poor households, but also enhanced the cohesion of grassroots party organizations. On this basis, Pibian Village adapted to local conditions, and developed special industrial projects such as planting and breeding cooperatives and flue-cured tobacco planting, and the villagers responded in succession. In 2020, the village collective income will reach 1,067,100 yuan.

  The process of adapting measures to local conditions and policies for households is the process of seeking truth from facts. In the past eight years, like Chen Chunqing, the majority of poverty alleviation cadres have taken root in the front line, been down-to-earth, found out the truth, made precise policies, and made efforts to achieve accurate support targets, accurate project arrangements, accurate use of funds, accurate measures to households, accurate dispatch of people from villages, and accurate results in poverty alleviation.

  "Accurate poverty alleviation is the magic weapon to win the battle against poverty. It embodies the integration of theory with practice, proceeding from reality and seeking truth from facts. This is the essence of Marxist theory, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s ideological line and an important guarantee for the smooth development of the cause of the party and the state. " Luo Pinghan, director and professor of the Party History Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said.

  Constantly promote theoretical innovation on the basis of practice.

  Theory originates from practice, and only when it is closely linked with practice can it play a guiding role in practice, be tested by practice, and be continuously developed in practice.

  During the National People’s Congress this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation. After hearing the introduction of Zhou Yizhe, a forest ranger in Daxinganling Forest Farm in Inner Mongolia, the General Secretary emphasized: "‘ Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets ’ This is actually value-added. " This has aroused enthusiastic response from the society. Besides the value of trees, a good ecological environment can also bring tourism and economic development under forests. The evergreen trees planted are actually "cash cows".

  For a long time, in order to pursue rapid economic development, some places have adopted extensive development models, resulting in resource loss and environmental pollution. People realize more and more that without green mountains and green hills, there would be no Jinshan Yinshan.

  Transformation and upgrading are imperative. At that time, Anji county, Zhejiang province, created a new development path of establishing an ecological county and strengthening an ecological county. They shut down a number of industrial enterprises, rectified the source of pollution, and at the same time relied on bamboo forest resources to develop industries such as eco-tourism and green agricultural products, and gradually realized the beauty of villages and the wealth of the people.

  Seeing the harmonious unity of Anji’s economic development and ecological protection, the then supreme leader comrade of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee clearly pointed out that caring for the environment means developing productive forces, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.

  The life of theory is nurtured in practice, and the value of theory is highlighted in practice. In recent years, a blueprint for the management of Mulan River in Putian, Fujian Province has been drawn to the end, and green development will benefit people’s livelihood; Three generations of Saihanba people struggled in relay, turning barren hills in sandy land into green mountains and green hills, and then developing into Jinshan Yinshan … … Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s ideas have been widely practiced and deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

  Fang Guoqiang is a big organic tea grower in Huangshan. In the 1980s and 1990s, Fang Guoqiang got rich early by selling timber. "First, cut down the trees along the road, and then cut them into the mountains. Excessive logging leads to serious soil erosion. " A mountain torrent washed away the tea factory that Fang Guoqiang later turned to run, losing several million yuan. "This is the punishment of nature," he said.

  In 2012, the pilot of inter-provincial ecological compensation mechanism was opened in Xin ‘anjiang River Basin. Fang Guoqiang used his own experience to persuade villagers not to cut down trees, and led everyone to plant 30,000 mu of organic tea.

  "How to deal with the relationship between green mountains and green hills, Jinshan Yinshan, in fact, we have experienced a process from practice to understanding to practice." Yuan Wuzhen, dean of the School of Marxism of Xi ‘an University of Posts and Telecommunications, said that it is also the proper meaning of integrating theory with practice to sum up practical experience in time, find out regular knowledge from it, and upgrade it into theory, thus providing scientific guidance for the next step.

  Focus on learning, understanding and doing.

  To make a new journey and forge ahead, we must adhere to the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era and carry forward the glorious tradition and fine style of integrating theory with practice.

  "Theory with practice, the premise is to learn to understand the theory, grasp the true meaning of thought, and lay a solid foundation in Marxist theory. Without scientific theoretical foundation and scientific world outlook and methodology, we can’t see the essence through the phenomena of things, and we can’t grasp the internal relations of things. " Yang Xiaodong, the person in charge of Xi ‘an International Port Area, said.

  Xi ‘an International Port Area undertakes the responsibility and mission of opening wider to the outside world for Xi ‘an, Shaanxi. "The CPC Central Committee proposes to accelerate the formation of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. How should we correctly understand it? How to position yourself? " Yang Xiaodong said, "Through in-depth study and implementation of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era and mastering the positions, viewpoints and methods contained in it, we feel that to build a new development pattern, we must not only seize the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, but also promote a higher level of opening up."

  According to Yuan Hegeng, secretary of Jiangxi Gaoan Municipal Party Committee, the key to integrating theory with practice lies in seeking truth from facts, seeking truth and being pragmatic, planning career and work from reality, and making decisions and proposals in line with actual conditions, objective laws and scientific spirit. "We often carry out theoretical study. The purpose of study is to apply it. We must adhere to the problem orientation, think deeply with problems, persist in applying what we have learned, study new situations and solve new problems."

  Epidemic prevention and control is not only a great war, but also a big test. There are so many things to do, how to catch them? "We have thoroughly studied and implemented the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and what we have learned is that we should take the vital interests of the people as the fundamental starting point and the foothold when thinking about problems, making decisions and doing things." Yuan Hegeng said that we went deep into the masses to carry out investigation and study, grasped the actual situation, found the combination of the central spirit and the needs of the masses, and found the way to solve problems and carry out work. For example, after the epidemic situation improved, the city immediately implemented the "business Commissioner" system, and sent 479 cadres at or above the department level to "point-to-point, one-to-one" enterprises to help enterprises return to work and resume production.

  "We deeply feel that if we carry forward the glorious tradition and style of integrating theory with practice, we can do our work in practice and make effective results, and we can be recognized by the masses." Yuan Hegeng said that after the epidemic stabilized, many enterprises came here. Last year, 106 domestic-funded projects were signed, and the contracted funds exceeded 60 billion yuan.

  The broad masses of cadres and people said that they should carry forward the glorious tradition and fine style of integrating theory with practice under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and push the cause of the party and the state to win new victories with practical actions.
