奉献如炬照山河 ■谭婷婷 ●军人无奉献,便无使命之担当;军队无奉献,便无山河之安宁 习主席强调:“要积极弘扬奉献精神,凝聚起万众一心奋斗新时代的强大力量。”奉献是融入中华民族血脉的精神追求,更是人民军队与生俱来的精神特质、永不褪色的红色基因。军人无奉献,便无使命之担当;军队无奉献,便无山河之安宁。 回望人民军队近百年峥嵘岁月,奉献如炬,照亮了一代又一代军人的初心之路,成为人民军队薪火相传、生生不息的精神密码。革命战争年代,奉献是枪林弹雨中的舍生取义,是生死考验前的义无反顾;和平建设时期,奉献是边关一线的寸步不让,是基层岗位的默默耕耘,是危难时刻的挺身而出。无数军人以赤子之心赴家国之约,以血肉之躯筑钢铁长城,用一言一行诠释着“以身许国、无私奉献”的铮铮誓言,共同铸就了人民军队的精神丰碑——从军当守土,奉献铸忠诚;初心映山河,热血赴使命。 奉献,对于我军官兵而言,从来不是空洞的口号,而是融入血脉、刻进骨髓的信仰坚守,是护我山河的磅礴力量,更是强国强军征程上永燃不熄的精神火炬。它是“以身许国,何惧生死”的赤胆忠诚,是“默默坚守,不计得失”的境界格局,更是“守土有责、守土负责、守土尽责”的使命担当。海军某舰载航空兵部队一级飞行员张超,在驾驶歼-15舰载战斗机训练时,飞机突发电传故障,危急时刻,他果断处置,尽最大努力保住战机,不幸壮烈牺牲,用29岁的青春诠释了军人的奉献与担当。从“为了新中国,前进”的董存瑞,到“为了胜利,向我开炮”的于树昌;从隐姓埋名扎根戈壁数十载、毕生奉献国防科技事业直至生命最后一刻仍坚守岗位的林俊德,到战斗在喀喇昆仑高原、为守护国土不惧牺牲的新时代卫国戍边英雄群体……无数英雄模范用气壮山河的行动证明,奉献从来不是遥远的、抽象的,而是融入每一次站岗、每一次训练、每一项任务中的忠诚实践,是军人最动人的底色、最崇高的追求。 然而,在市场经济与多元思潮的冲击下,少数同志渐渐丢失了奉献精神。有的在利益取舍中心态失衡,把个人得失看得过重,淡化了责任担当;有的耽于享乐、畏难怕苦,渐渐丢掉了艰苦奋斗、甘于奉献的优良作风……这些现象的存在,本质上都是奉献精神弱化的表现,不仅影响作风形象,更背离初心使命。这警示我们,奉献之于精神世界,犹如火炬之于暗夜,没有火炬,前行之路便会失去光明与方向。 “功崇惟志,业广惟勤。”军人必须将奉献精神作为终身必修课,以恒心修之、以笃行践之,让奉献之魂融入血脉、让担当之力扎根心底。要筑牢信仰之基,深入学习党的创新理论特别是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,深刻领悟奉献精神的时代内涵,筑牢信仰之基、补足精神之钙、把稳思想之舵,坚定“以身许国、无私奉献”的信念,让奉献成为一种自觉追求、一种价值观;要锤炼奉献之德,以英雄模范为镜汲取精神力量,以反面典型为戒时刻警醒自省,在艰苦环境中磨砺意志,在诱惑考验面前坚守底线,不慕名利、不计得失,始终坚守初心使命,永葆政治本色;要恪尽担当之责,切实履行好军人的职责使命,立足本职岗位,脚踏实地、真抓实干,把责任扛在肩上,把每一项工作都做到极致,让奉献精神融入日常、化为经常,用实干诠释忠诚,用付出书写担当。 新时代新征程,强国强军号角催征,革命军人使命在肩。强化军人的奉献精神,是推进国防和军队现代化建设的必然要求,是应对风险挑战、筑牢国家安全屏障的重要保障,也是凝聚军心士气、实现民族复兴的强大动力。让我们以奉献为炬,燃忠诚之火、聚强军之力,以赤子之心守家国安宁,以钢铁之肩担时代使命,把奉献精神刻进骨髓、融入血脉,用青春与汗水守护好祖国的每一寸土地,用热血与忠诚捍卫国家的主权与尊严,书写属于新时代革命军人的奉献华章。愿奉献之光照亮强军征程、辉映万里山河,愿每一名军人的坚守都有回响、每一分付出都体现价值,以枕戈待旦的战斗姿态、无私奉献的精神品格,向着实现建军一百年奋斗目标、建成世界一流军队的宏伟目标奋勇前行。

Summary

Machine summary

A political work essay in PLA Daily calls on officers and soldiers to internalize the 'spirit of dedication' (奉献精神) as a core military virtue, invoking Xi Jinping's framing, historical martyrs from Dong Cunrui to Lin Junde, and the death of naval aviator Zhang Chao—a Grade-One J-15 pilot killed during a fly-by-wire malfunction while attempting to save his aircraft—as exemplars. The article explicitly acknowledges a concrete morale problem: that market-economy pressures and 'diverse currents of thought' have eroded dedication among a subset of personnel, manifesting as preoccupation with personal gain and avoidance of hardship. This is standard political work content, but its diagnostic value lies in the candid admission of motivational erosion at the individual level, which fits a recurring pattern in PLA political education of using ideological campaigns to address institutional problems the institution cannot solve through material incentives alone.
