保持本色 安守本分 ■归 涛 本者,根也,本立而道生。习主席强调:“领导干部特别是高级干部必须头脑清醒、严格自律,始终保持本色、安守本分,如临如履、谦虚谨慎。”贯彻落实这一重要讲话精神,要求军队领导干部特别是高级干部带头开展思想整风,破除投机取巧心理,把本色融入血脉灵魂、把本分刻进岗位职责,自觉做到懂法纪、明规矩、知敬畏,以实干实绩开创强军事业新局面。 本色,即本来面目;本分,即责任义务,二者相辅相成、辩证统一。“我们共产党人的本,就是对马克思主义的信仰,对中国特色社会主义和共产主义的信念,对党和人民的忠诚。”保持本色、安守本分,不仅要做好分内之事,更要守住信仰之“本”、信念之“本”、忠诚之“本”。有了这个根本,领导干部就能把分内之事升华为对人民的赤诚、对事业的担当,清清白白做人、干干净净做事,做到克己奉公、以俭修身、多作贡献。 保持本色、安守本分,是领导干部必须具备的政治觉悟和道德品质。徐向前同志一生坚守理想、爱民为民、廉洁奉公,被誉为“布衣元帅”;张达志同志作风正派、严于律己、生活俭朴,从不搞特殊,人称“布衣将军”;林俊德同志“铿锵一生,苦干惊天动地事;淡泊一世,甘做隐姓埋名人”,被官兵称为“布衣院士”……他们一生恪守对党忠诚、心系人民的政治品格,弘扬艰苦朴素、清正廉洁的优良作风,秉持律己从严、守纪如铁的自律精神,靠实干立身、凭实绩进步,为我们树立了保持本色、安守本分的标杆。 胜人者有力,自胜者强。现实中,反观一些落马官员,因为投机取巧、攀附钻营而丢了本色、失了本分,最终身败名裂、自尝苦果。这再次警示我们,今天不守规矩、投机取巧的一小步,也许就是明天违纪违规、滑落犯罪深渊的第一步。当前,正值“十五五”开局起步时、攻坚建军百年关键处,更需要领导干部保持本色、安守本分,以良好形象和实际行动取信官兵,让更多新风正气充盈军营。 万物得其本者生,百事得其道者成。保持本色、安守本分,离不开正心明道、怀德自重。政德是为官者政治品质、道德操守、作风品行的综合反映。领导干部权力运行是否规范、履职尽责是否真正指向人民,主要取决于政德。领导干部做到一心为公、一身正气、一尘不染,就要坚持以党性标尺律己修身,牢固树立科学的世界观、人生观、价值观和正确的权力观、政绩观、利益观,明大德、守公德、严私德,看淡个人得失、看开功名利禄,力戒特权思想和特权行为,管好身边人身边事。 保持本色、安守本分,要自律,也要他律。纪律规矩是“紧箍咒”,也是“安全带”,严守纪律、按规矩办事,是对自己最大的保护。这就要求领导干部带头学纪、知纪、明纪、守纪,以懂法纪筑牢思想防线,以明规矩砥砺政治品格,以知敬畏规范权力运行,做到法规制度面前人人平等,遵守法规制度没有特殊,执行法规制度没有例外,既在守纪上“管住手脚”,又在干事上“放开手脚”,不断把强军事业推向前进。

Summary

Machine summary

An article in what appears to be a PLA political education outlet, authored by Gui Tao, calls on military leading cadres—especially senior officers—to conduct ideological rectification, reject opportunism, and reinforce discipline as the PLA enters the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan period and approaches the centenary-strong military milestone. The piece invokes Xi Jinping's directives on self-discipline alongside historical exemplars including marshals Xu Xiangqian and Zhang Dazhi, framing anti-corruption compliance as inseparable from political loyalty and military readiness. The article is consistent with the PLA's sustained post-2012 pattern of using political education campaigns to reinforce behavioral norms among the officer corps, and contains no new policy content or organizational announcements.
