When it comes to Zhu Rongji, the Chinese people probably have the impression of him that is tenacious, independent, and dares to speak. Especially in anti-corruption, Zhu Rongji is selfless and ruthless.
In 1998, after Zhu Rongji was elected Prime Minister, he expressed his determination to fight corruption at the first plenary meeting of the State Council: "Marx talked about 'cheap government' in " French Civil War ", which actually refers to a streamlined, low-cost government that does not waste people's blood and sweat. We must set an example and become such a government."
On March 24, 1998, in "Speech at the First Plenary Meeting of the State Council", Zhu Rongji mentioned that in the anti-corruption process, streamlining institutions is an indispensable part of it. In response to the reform of the State Council’s institutions, he said: “The Vice Premier of the State Council has reduced the number of six in the previous session to four now; the State Council’s number has reduced from eight to five, two of whom are part-time jobs. The Chief and Deputy Secretary-General of the State Council has reduced the number of officers from 10 to 5, half; the staff of the agency have reduced the number of officers from half.”
However, in the process of anti-corruption, Zhu Rongji’s reform of the State Council’s institutions has been questioned by some people. Faced with resistance, he said under great pressure: “I am doing this with the determination to be broken.”
He knew that doing this is beneficial to the people and the country.
After hearing about this, Mr. Jiang strongly supported Zhu Rongji's work. He encouraged the latter and said, "I am your backing."
Why did Zhu Rongji develop such a firm character is probably related to his growth experience.
1. After studying, he developed a righteous body
When Zhu Rongji was young, his parents passed away early, and he was raised by "Man Bo" Zhu Xuefang.
may be because he lost the protection of his parents since childhood that Zhu Rongji was very independent and strong.
In February 1941, 13-year-old Zhu Rongji was admitted to Guangyi Middle School, a prestigious Changsha school. According to his classmate Ren Yan recalled: "Zhu Rongji studied very hard. We once held a pi competition during self-study, with classmate Zhou Jixi as the referee. As a result, I memorized more than 40 people, and Zhu Rongji memorized nearly 100 people." It was precisely because of this hard work and tenacity that Zhu Rongji was later admitted to Chuyi Middle School as an outstanding graduate.
For this journey of study, Zhu Rongji later recalled: "I was in the first grade of high school at the Chuyi Industrial School run by Xinhua. When Changsha battles , Changsha fell. Then, National Eighth Middle School went to Xinhua to recruit students, and I transferred to National Eighth Middle School after the exam."
In 2006, when the 100th anniversary of the founding of Changsha Chuyi School, Zhu In a congratulatory letter sent to the school, Rongji wrote emotionally: "Although I have only been studying at the Xinhua campus of Chuyi, I am just one semester, but when the Japanese invading army captured Changsha and faced homelessness, the feeling of the country and the family will be destroyed for life. I hope that young classmates from my alma mater will work hard, study hard, be honest, and revitalize our Chinese nation. We have high hopes."
After entering university, Zhu Rongji eagerly learned professional knowledge in order to serve the motherland. His classmate and famous legal scholar, Guo Daohui, recalled: "When Zhu Rongji first entered Tsinghua , he concentrated on studying his homework and read a lot of books. The homework in the Department of Motors was the most difficult in the whole school at that time, but he dealt with Yuru and was one of the "business top" in the class. He was upright and sincere in his treatment. He was a class representative in the class, assisting teachers to promote students to learn their homework well, and having prestige among his classmates."
Zhu Rongji's upright and courageous personality had actually been revealed at that time.
2. The masses gave him confidence
Time came in April 1988. As the mayor of Shanghai, Zhu Rongji, facing 13 million Shanghai citizens, expressed his determination to build an "integrity, efficient and authoritative municipal government" with everyone.
At the beginning of his tenure, Zhu Rongji instructed the Municipal Supervision Bureau: "First of all, you should keep an eye on the bureau-level cadres of the municipal government."He asked the Commission for Discipline Inspection to cooperate and focus on the integrity of more than 1,000 leading cadres of the city, including the city's leading cadres.
Zhu Rongji's idea is that only these leading cadres are honest can the integrity of the style of integrity be established in the city. Not only that, Zhu Rongji is also ruthless in targeting those cadres who only promise not to do things.
Once, he found that during his inspection of a famous old factory, the factory's main products had not been updated for decades, and the efficiency declined severely. When he learned that the director in charge had not come to the factory for several months, he severely criticized: "As the director, his factory is almost unable to pass, but it is still not yet able to go down. Where is the sense of responsibility? "He asked someone to notify the director on the spot and immediately came to help the company solve the problem.
It is worth mentioning that 1989 On July 28, 2018, the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing Several Things Concerned About the People" was promulgated, which aroused a warm response. In order to punish corruption, the state put forward the following seven requirements: (1) Further clean up and rectify the company; (2) Resolutely stop the children of high-ranking officials from doing business; (3) Abolish the "special supply" of small amounts of food for leaders; (4) Strictly distribute cars in accordance with regulations and prohibit the import of cars (except for the implementation of the long-term trade agreement signed between the government and the technology trade contract approved by the state); (5) Strictly prohibit the inviting guests Giving gifts; (VI) Strictly control leading cadres to go abroad; (VII) Seriously and seriously investigate and deal with criminal cases such as corruption, bribery, speculation and counterfeiting, and especially to investigate and deal with major cases.
During this period, Zhu Rongji severely criticized the relevant responsible persons in response to the problem of "no water sprinkling in a certain street in Shanghai for a year": "I have repeatedly said that whether you decentralize your power or some reforms in the system, it cannot affect your original work... I don't care what you do, anyway, if you drive the sprinkler truck within three days, you can't drive it out, so don't be the director. "
Zhu Rongji said that the person in charge worked diligently and should not criticize him for this matter, but this matter itself reflects the work style of our municipal government organs. We should inform you that we can no longer do such things in the future.
After Zhu Rongji was later transferred to Beijing, a foreign reporter asked in an interview: "What is your biggest failure in Shanghai? "Zhu Rongji replied confidently: "No. "
The reason why he is so confident is that when he makes major decisions, he attaches great importance to the participation of the masses. After collective discussion by the municipal government, he adopts useful opinions among the masses.
comes from the masses and goes to the masses. It is the people who give Zhu Rongji the confidence.
People who are familiar with Zhu Rongji know that his voice is like a loud bell and powerful, and his eyes are very sharp. Regarding his own eyes, Zhu Rongji once explained: "About me... I have slapped the table and stared at me. If I don't stare, I am a vegetable. I have never beaten the bench, so it hurts to beat it. As for saying that I did this to scare the people, I don’t think anyone believes this. I never scare the people, I only scare those corrupt officials. ”
3. I went to do this with my determination to break into pieces
Two years later, he reiterated the issue of integrity and self-discipline of leading cadres. He said: "We must concentrate our efforts to break through a number of major cases, focus on investigating and handling violations of discipline and laws by government agencies at all levels and county and department-level leading cadres at or above, increase the investigation and punishment of violations of discipline and laws in the fields of finance, securities, real estate, land leasing and sublease, and material procurement, and earnestly investigate and handle cases of violations of discipline and laws by leaders of state-owned enterprises and serious loss of state-owned assets. ”
As mentioned above, in the process of repeated processes, institutional streamlining is an indispensable link.
As early as the end of 1997, Zhu Rongji had already begun to prepare for the institutional reform of the State Council.
He first asked dozens of ministers to talk one by one. The long-term conversation made him overly tired, and later it became difficult for him to stand up every time.
Although Zhu Rongji's behavior was questioned, due to the support of Mr. Jiang, he expressed his opinion when the Hunan delegation of the National -person Congress in 1998 said: "I am here to do this with the determination to be broken."
is like this. After reform, the State Council no longer retains 15 ministries and commissions, 4 new ministries and commissions were established, and 3 ministries and commissions were renamed. After the reform, except for , the number of departments of the State Council was reduced from 40 to 29, with a 50% reduction in personnel.
Then, he emphasized in his speech "Transforming Government Functions and Improving Working Methods": "To be specific, we are streamlining meetings and streamlining documents. Now we still have too many meetings and documents. It seems that if we don't send documents, things will not be done; in fact, if we send documents, many of them still cannot be implemented, which means that we have not sent them. It is better to take more practical things and learn more about the sufferings of the people."
Seeking truth from facts, putting things into practice, and understanding more about the sufferings of the people. This is what Zhu Rongji takes in mind.
In Zhu Rongji's view, for all major cases, no matter which department or person involved, they must be investigated to the end, never show favoritism, never mercy, and severely punish corrupt elements.
What is little known is that during his presidency of the State Council, he recommended a Ming Dynasty official motto recorded in the Xi'an Stele Forest to leading cadres more than once: "The official does not fear my strictness, but my integrity; the people do not obey my ability, but my public; the people do not dare to be arrogant, and the officials dare not deceive. Publicity makes people smart, Integrity makes people powerful ."
Zhu Rongji said that he has recited this motto since he was a child, and he hopes that every leading cadre can understand this truth.
4. Integrity and family style
Zhu Rongji rarely writes inscriptions, which has a lot to do with his low-key and pragmatic style. It is difficult to see his inscriptions in just a few words in official institutions or in the folk, even his alma mater, including the junior high school, high school, and college where he is studying.
But even such a prime minister who regards integrity as life, he wrote the inscription "Don't make fake accounts" for National Accounting Institute three times in a row.
Zhu Rongji, who was honest and dedicated throughout his life, once made three rules for himself: no inscriptions, no ribbon cutting, and no courtesy.
Zhu Rongji also strictly requires relatives and staff. He once mentioned in his speech at Tsinghua University that he has strict requirements for his children.
The thing that impressed him the most was that when his second son was in his teenage years, he liked the balcony upstairs very much. One day, the child took a piece of tangled felt cloth, covered with a layer of soil, and prepared to grow vegetables.
Zhu Rongji saw the felt cloth and asked his son where he came from. He slapped the child in the face and said, "No matter how poor we are, we can't take other people's things."
The son later said aggrievedly that it was not someone else's, but he picked it up from the garbage dump. Zhu Rongji said: "I regretted it very much at that time, but because of insisting on his father's dignity, he still asked him to send the linoleum back: even if it is in the garbage dump, he can't pick it up. I'm wrong to beat you, so we accompany you to send the linoleum back. So we walked from Sanlizhuang to the garbage dump and put the linoleum in the garbage dump in a regular manner."
is precisely because of such strict education that even though Zhu Rongji became the mayor of Shanghai later, his children rely on brushing dishes and working to make money when they study abroad. No one knows that their father holds an important position. Zhu Rongji was very pleased with the transmission of honest family traditions like
.
article at the end of the article, the author remembers that on March 15, 2000, at the Third Session of the Ninth People's Congress, Zhu Rongji said affectionately: "I just hope that after I step down, the people of the whole country can say that he is a clean official, not a corrupt official. If they are more generous and say that Zhu Rongji still did some practical things, I would be grateful."
tribute to Premier Zhu Rongji!
