Constantly strengthening the Party’s construction is a necessary condition for the Party and the country to keep moving forward.From 1978 to 1985,Xi Zhongxun was in charge of Guangdong Province and served as Secretary of the Central Secretariat.During these seven years,on the one hand,Xi Zhongxun actively implemented the relevant decisions and instructions of the Party Central Committee to strengthen the Party.On the other hand,Xi Zhongxun went deep into the local grassroots,studied and investigated the actual situation,grasped the public mood and public opinion,and connected the Party’s strategic decisions with the actual local development,gaining new experience in Party construction work.Xi Zhongxun has made a more comprehensive practical exploration and an important contribution to the promotion of party building.An in-depth analysis of the theoretical sources,practical basis,basic content,main features,historical contributions and basic experience of Xi Zhongxun’s practice of promoting party construction after reform and opening up is essential for understanding and internalizing the Party’s comprehensive and strict management in the new era and continuously improving the quality of party construction.The theoretical sources of Xi Zhongxun’s party building practice are mainly Marx,Engels and Lenin’s theories on proletarian party building and the Chinese Communists’ ideas on party building.The objective basis is reflected mainly in the urgent need to catch up with the world development trend,the urgent need to advance the cause of socialist modernization,and the urgent need to put the Party-building issues in China in order.There are also Xi Zhongxun’s strong personal beliefs,rich experience and excellent qualities.After reform and opening-up,Xi Zhongxun’s practical exploration of party construction focused mainly on three aspects.In terms of ideological construction,breaking the rigidity of thought and promoting the emancipation of thought were his main tasks,using the Rectification Movement as an entry point to comprehensively promote the rectification of chaos,and openly supporting the discussion of the standard question of truth to re-establish the ideological line of emancipation and seek truth from facts.In terms of organizational development,Xi Zhongxun adhered to the principle of rectifying mistakes,vigorously vindicated unfair and false cases,implemented the Party cadre policy,and led the reform of Central Government organs,equipped the leadership at the provincial and ministerial levels,and participated in the Party’s rectification work to strengthen the cadre.In the area of style building,Xi Zhongxun took the opportunity of the Party’s rectification campaign to carry out criticism and self-criticism and investigation and research to transform and develop the Party’s work style.Xi Zhongxun’s practice and exploration of Party building has its own distinctive features,which are highlighted in adhering to the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts,carrying forward the reform spirit of practicing and pioneering,and following the working idea of relying on the masses and taking the people as the foundation.This practice has made important contributions to the advancement of the Communist Party of China,and his contributions are mainly in the following areas:enhanced the ruling ability of Guangdong’s party organizations and the rule of law in regional governance,accumulated experience in promoting party building in the early stage of Reform and Opening up and enriched the theory of party building of the Chinese Communist Party.This series of practices contains a wealth of experience in Party Building work:ideological emancipation is the basis for building a strong Party organization and promoting reform and development,and it is necessary to adhere to the Party’s ideological line and set the right direction for Party building,as well as to innovate means to strengthen ideological education and theoretical rearmament;building a high-quality cadre is an important task for strengthening the Party’s organizational construction,and promoting the unity of adhering to the Party’s leadership and applying the principle of Party-controlled cadres.It is important to promote integration and coherence between the people’s opinion and the Party’s strategic decisions.We must determine the people’s position and plan reform ideas;we must respect the people’s originality and draw wisdom from development;we must choose the mass road and go to the grassroots to solve practical problems.
