BEIJING, June 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For Chinese
President Xi Jinping, words and deeds of his father Xi Zhongxun
(1913-2002) embodying the principle of "being a public servant of
the people" are a great family heirloom that runs deep in his
outlook on life, work, and philosophy.
In the exhibition hall of the premises of the former prefectural
Party committee of Suide of northwest China's Shaanxi
Province , one line of words is particularly striking: "sit
upright on the side of the people," which was said by Xi Zhongxun
who was once also the Party chief of Suide County.
"My father required us to live a simple life. Our clothes were
not only all patched up, but also were hand-me-downs from elder
brothers and sisters. Elder brothers handed down their clothes to
younger sisters, and then the younger sisters handed them down to
younger brothers. We were not allowed to leave a grain of rice on
the plate. My family has strict revolutionary traditions," said
President Xi.
Xi Zhongxun taught his children through words and deeds, and
required them to remain true to their original aspirations. He was
"from the people" and had the people in his heart, practicing the
mass line throughout his life.
Xi Zhongxun's words and deeds had a profound impact on Xi
Jinping. From a small village to the Party Central Committee, and
from village Party secretary to the general secretary of the Party,
Xi Jinping has always cared about the people and the country,
devoted himself to the people and regarded the people's aspiration
for a better life as his ultimate goal.
"His requirement is to work well, study well, and handle
everything well. For us, it's a motto that we must pass on to
future generations. When Xi Zhongxun joined the revolution, he
did not regard himself as a cadre, but as an ordinary person, doing
mass work village by village, household by household," said Qi Xin,
mother of Xi Jinping.
"He had always believed that I should be a part of the people,
and should never separate from them. My grandfather was a farmer,
my father joined the revolution as a farmer, and I myself worked as
a farmer for seven years. The concerns of the people are what I
have always cared about. Things of the people are the most
important things," said President Xi.
"From the people, for the people, benefit the people." These
words and deeds of Xi's father are the relay, inheritance, and
promotion of the revolutionary spirit of the two generations of
Chinese communists. They convey the deep love between father and
son, and the commitment to being a public servant for the
people.
