To Be a County Party Secretary Means to Be a Jiao Yulu-style County Party Secretary

The Qiushi magazine published on July 1 republished an important article by Xi Jinping, "Be a County Party Committee Secretary Like Jiao Yulu." The article points out that the county level occupies an important position in the governance system of the Party and the country, serving as a key link between the higher and lower levels, and that county party committee secretaries shoulder important responsibilities such as promoting development, safeguarding livelihoods, and maintaining stability. The article emphasizes that when Jiao Yulu dealt with issues such as windblown sand, salinityalkalinity, and waterlogging in Lankao, he went deep into the front lines, rooted himself at the grassroots level, and led the people in hard work and practical action, forming the valuable Jiao Yulu spirit. His style of keeping the people in mind, being pragmatic and responsible, and remaining clean and honest still has practical significance today. The related content, by reviewing Jiao Yulu's experience working in Lankao, echoes the requirements of "having the Party in one's heart, the people in one's heart, responsibility in one's heart, and discipline in one's heart," and emphasizes that Party members and cadres, especially county party committee secretaries, must take the people as the center and ensure that practical things are done in the people's hearts and at the grassroots front lines.
