Editor’s Note: In July, 1921, a boat in Nanhu, Jiaxing, stirred up the ripples of the China Revolution. In the past 95 years, it has been magnificent and vigorous, and the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s radiant light has illuminated the advancing years of the Chinese nation. From the founding of the Party, the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the reform and opening up, and now to the new journey of China’s soaring, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led the people to verify the truth of the Marxist road to China, to unite the party’s belief in saving China under the banner, and to fulfill the promise of serving the people in hardship. On the "July 1st" Party Building Day, China Youth Network specially launched a series of interviews with party member on the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Party by practitioners of "Chinese Dream" who "pursued their faith footprints and practiced their youth responsibility", sharing with young netizens the inspirational story of Chinese Communist party member, and drawing the strength for China’s rejuvenation journey.
The third issue of party member series interview on the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Party by practitioners of "Chinese Dream" who "follow the footsteps of faith and practice youth responsibility"
Sun Lin: Tell the story of the Party through the Internet.
"Teacher Dalin, do you believe in communism?" "Can communist ideals and beliefs really be realized?" Faced with a series of sharp and tricky sensitive issues, Sun Lin, a young teacher of the Party Construction Department of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, took his time and talked with Kan Kan.
What the students in the audience didn’t know was that the outstanding young man in front of them, who was calm and professional in conversation, went to the party school for an interview with the mentality of "playing soy sauce".
"At that time, there were more than 20 people, and I was ranked 11 th. I had to go to the interview in the afternoon. I decided to go back to school first. On my way back to school, I temporarily decided to talk about my doctoral thesis in the afternoon interview ‘ Research on the funding of political parties ’ Therefore, I urgently used the two hours of lunch break to sort out a speech of about 1500 words. "
Sun Lin did not expect that at 18: 30 that night, Liang Junping, then the general branch secretary of the Party Construction Department, called, "Do you want to work in the Party School?" "I do!" — — This firm reply spread through the microphone, turned into a passionate and youthful struggle oath, and also opened a gorgeous prelude to Sun Lin’s career as a party school teacher.
Firmly believe in the ideal and not be the "Cyclops" in the E era.
"On July 1st, I attended the commemorative meeting to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the Great Hall of the People". As an outstanding party member of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Sun Lin listened to the speech of the Supreme Leader on the spot and was "deeply educated, excited and unforgettable" — — This is Sun Lin’s deep feeling after listening to the speech.
Since working for four years, Sun Lin has mainly taught courses such as the interaction between the ruling party and new media, the governance of the ruling party and cyberspace, and the construction of grassroots service-oriented party organizations. He has independently undertaken and participated in many national and provincial-level topics, published more than 50 papers in domestic academic journals, and won many provincial-level awards.
"Our party has produced many stories in the practice of 95 years, including some very interesting and enlightening stories. The essence of telling party lessons is to convey the party’s theories, principles and policies to the audience through telling stories. Therefore, telling stories is a good way to teach party lessons well in the new period."
Sun Lin said, "China’s reform and opening up for more than 30 years is actually the largest modernization in history and the fastest modernization.". The modernization of our country has taken more than 30 years to complete the road that the west has completed in one or two hundred years, which has led to many differences in epistemology: optimists see great achievements for more than 30 years, while pessimists see great problems for more than 30 years. Pessimists "self-actualize" and take a close look at China with a magnifying glass. The more they see, the more problems they see, which leads to a vicious circle. "Not only have I been blinded by my own eyes, but I have also misled the young people with misinformation."
"This is the best time, this is the worst time; This is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity; This is a period of faith, this is a period of doubt "— — This passage mentioned by Dickens at the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities may be the characteristics of the present era. There are always people in it, confused and suddenly unaware.
"Observing the era requires two eyes, one eye to see the problem, the other eye to see the achievement, and the two eyes can’t be independent. Only by combining with each other can we see the era clearly. Cannot do ‘ Cyclops ’ It is not right to see only problems or achievements. "
In Sun Lin’s view, party classes should be vivid and lively. "We need to emancipate our minds and make more theoretical innovations.". Sun Lin hopes that his students can learn to analyze things with Marxist standpoints, viewpoints and methods instead of memorizing all kinds of rules and regulations.
Standing on the platform at the age of 28, Sun Lin knew that the traditional teaching ideas could definitely not satisfy the post-90s students who were aborigines in the Internet age, so he adopted a new teaching idea. "At present, the reason why some party member and cadres have shaken, weakened or even lost their ideals and beliefs is that they don’t believe that communism can be realized. The thoroughness of theory is the premise of belief, in other words, theoretical persuasion is the premise of ideal conviction. "
With the rapid development of network information technology, an era of "great wisdom moving to the cloud" with big data, intelligent Internet of Things, mobile Internet and cloud computing as important technical carriers and driving forces has arrived. The new era gradually shows the possibility of realizing the main exposition of Marxist ideals and beliefs about communism. "
Life is full of scenery, don’t win or lose by starting.
Sun Lin was born in an ancient city in northern Anhui. Before he was 18 years old, he thought that since he was born here and grew up here, he would naturally be older. At that time, he did not expect to go out in the future.
"When I was very young, I had only one ideal — — Be a chef, because you can not only get in touch with delicious food, but also cook it for your family, especially your mother. " When talking about her mother, Sun Lin felt distressed. "After my grandfather died, my grandmother couldn’t support her four children alone, so she sent her mother to a relative’s house and suffered a lot. So I made up my mind to be a chef and let her live a good life.".
The ideal change should start from Sun Linchu’s second grade in junior high school. "At that time, I went to a relative’s restaurant to help cook. Every morning, I was greedy and smoky, and even my diet was irregular. I realized that being a chef is not as easy as I thought, and my top priority is to learn and master cultural knowledge. I can no longer muddle along and muddle along! "
After the epiphany, Sun Lin began to study hard, and his grades soared. By the time he was divided into liberal arts and sciences in senior high school, he had achieved good results in liberal arts and science.
Chef’s dream is drifting away and blurred. The university dream is getting closer and clearer.
"I met with Waterloo in the college entrance examination, missed out on Nanjing University, the first choice, and was admitted to Qingdao University, the second choice. Grateful for college life, let me really get out of the confusion of youth and clarify the way to go in the future. "
When Sun Lin was studying international politics at Qingdao University, he was like a duck to water. "At that time, I set up a ‘ Association for the Study of International Relations ’ Regularly organize students to engage in newspaper reading meetings and seminars. " After the postgraduate entrance examination, Sun Lin entered the Beijing Institute of International Relations to study for a master’s degree in international relations.
"Interest is the best teacher", and Sun Lin set up the "131S" interest group with his classmates during his graduate study. "We often meet in Room 131 to discuss international hot issues, two of which are ‘ 1’ On behalf of two girls; ‘ in 131; 3’ On behalf of three boys including me; And s is the abbreviation of seminar. "
At present, Sun Lin is an assistant researcher at the Research Center of Contemporary Political Parties of Renmin University of China and a special researcher at the People’s Livelihood Research Institute of China.
"I’m more than ten years behind others in being a top student, but working hard also makes me feel good" — — Sun Lin’s road to study can be described as arduous and even tortuous. Along the way, he was deeply touched. "Only if you don’t work hard, you won’t work late." Life is always full of infinite possibilities and contingencies. A knowledge and an epiphany may change a person’s life track.
"Life is the starting line everywhere, ‘ Lose at the starting line ’ Words like that are too alarmist. "In 2009, Sun Lin became the first doctoral student in the class. During my Ph.D. in the School of International Studies of Renmin University of China, I studied under Professor Zhou Shuzhen. "Teacher Zhou is an authoritative expert in the field of party politics, and she has given me meticulous care, help and guidance in my study and life. To study state relations, we need to further study political parties, so I turned from international relations research to party politics research. "
Difficulties, hardships, ordinary things, keeping the bottom line and making a long-term goal
As a young post-80s teacher, how to pass on the Party’s thoughts to post-90s and post-00s students with critical spirit and even rebellious spirit?
"I have worked as an intern in an Internet company. I understand that the core of Internet thinking is user thinking, and encouraging users to participate is an inevitable requirement of Internet thinking." In the process of spreading the Party’s thoughts, Sun Lin encouraged the post-90s students to participate in the discussion and form a consensus by using the thinking of the Internet, instead of "cramming" one-way indoctrination, "telling the Party’s theory in the latest language of the times by using the words of the Internet; Tell the story of the party with internet technology through the internet. "
"Theory is gray, but the tree of life is evergreen". Sun Lin believes that the atmosphere for young students to learn Marxist theory is not strong, because theoretical innovation can’t keep up with the pace of practical innovation, and theory sometimes can’t fully explain practical innovation.
"The research on the characteristics, style and style of the Party school is not like the pure theory in the ivory tower of colleges and universities ‘ Gray ’ The research is not like the pure practice of functional departments ‘ Cyan ’ Research, but the combination of theory and practice, like ‘ Blue and white porcelain ’ Same, yes ‘ Blue gray ’ Research. "
Speaking of professional research, Sun Lin generously shared his experience and stressed that he must do the right things at the right time, "such as reading early in the morning, writing in the morning, watching professional news at noon, taking a lunch break at 13 o’clock, getting up at 14 o’clock, preparing lessons in the afternoon, exercising in the evening, writing at night and keeping a diary before going to bed".
The most important thing in the study of party politics is the knowledge structure. To study China’s party politics, we must have the knowledge reserves of traditional political history, China’s political party and party system history, western political party and political history, and Marxist political party history. We must read the classic books in these fields intensively and combine them with reality before we can succeed. "I am still only in the initial stage of this road."
"I especially admire Samuel Huntington, a famous contemporary American international political theorist, and admire his way of analyzing problems and his attitude of studying problems." The power of example is endless. Sun Lin inspires himself to keep moving forward with "difficulties and hardships, keeping the bottom line and making a long-term goal." He said, "Work is my firm belief all the time, and life is not just rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea, but also poetry and distance." (China Youth Network reporter Wang Jiale)
