After Zhao Zhijian finished speaking, Li Tianyi just smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "Mayor Zhao, before you became mayor of Nanping City, did you serve as mayor? Probably not, then do you think you can do a good job as mayor? If you think that you can do a good job as mayor for the first time, then I think I can also do a good job as the head of the United Front Work Department of the municipal party committee." Even if you think that you can't do a good job as mayor, I firmly believe that I still firmly believe that I can do a good job as the head of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee. ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

No one expected that in the answer to the first question, Li Tianyi actually adopted the method of attacking the shield with the spear of the son, and easily defused the first wave of Zhao Zhijian's attack.

Subsequently, Li Tianyi also went on to say: "As for what Mayor Zhao just said, some people in society think that the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee is an idle department, and they can't make achievements or problems when they say anything, I think that only people who don't know how to do united front work will say that.

Speaking of which, I am reminded of a joke that a friend of Baodao once asked me when he mentioned our United Front Work Department, whether your United Front Work Department is a unified operations department, which was established to unify our treasure island.

After hearing this friend's question, I felt very funny, but this treasure island friend did not know much about the system of our mainland, and it was understandable that this misunderstanding occurred.

However, in our society, and even within our officialdom system, some people have indeed developed the viewpoint just mentioned by Mayor Zhao Zhijian, who believe that united front work cannot produce results or major problems, and that it belongs to the marginalized administrative departments; some people even harbor the idea of "official position" and cannot listen to different voices outside the party, and some people even suffer from political "cleanliness syndrome" and despise the work of people outside the party.

What is more, some people cling to political bias confuse the multi-party system in the West with our political consultation system in China, and blindly squeeze out and suppress the living space of a small number of political parties.

Anyone who has this kind of thinking shows that they lack short-sightedness, still less understanding and understanding of united front work, and still less a correct study and judgment of the current situation in China.

In recent years, under the guidance of the ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, China's economy has entered the fast lane, and China has become the world's second largest economy.

However, the rapid development of the economy cannot hide some problems, for example, with the development of the Internet and the advent of the era of everyone is self-media, social contradictions are often magnified, the gap between the rich and the poor is increasing day by day, and some shortcomings in the system are becoming increasingly prominent, which has become a hindrance factor that restricts our Chinese dream.

In order to achieve the goal of the whole people running to the road of moderate prosperity, and to achieve the goal of reaching the level of moderately developed countries, it is obviously not enough to rely on our party alone, which requires the unity of all social strata, and everyone works together to promote the rise of China.

In this new social situation, united front work is particularly important. ”

Li Tianyi said this, paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Just some time ago, the Central United Front Work Conference was held in Yanjing City, at this work conference, the leaders made an important speech, and at the same time, the regulations on united front work were also introduced. are landmarked. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianyi's eyes quietly looked at Zhao Zhijian and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Zhao, I don't know if you understand, but I know that the essential requirement of united front work is great unity and great alliance, and what is solved is the problem of people's hearts and strength. In the past, united front work was one of the three magic weapons for our party to achieve revolutionary victories, and it will continue to be an important magic weapon for us to realize the Chinese dream and the rise of the Chinese nation in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianyi's tone became impassioned, and he said in a deep voice: "Mayor Zhao, do you know that our total population in China now exceeds 1.3 billion, but our party members only have more than 87 million, less than one-tenth of the total population, and most of the people outside the party are concentrated in teachers, doctors, persons in charge of the non-public economy, religious figures, People from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and expatriates as well as people from new social classes, they come from various fields and are representative, and have a profound impact on the development and direction of our Chinese social ideology.

Since ancient times, all countries that have pursued the idea of one family will eventually lose the support of the middlemen, resulting in a situation in which the rulers are "not very cold from above" and "isolated and helpless".

Because, how to unite and lead this huge force will inevitably form more positive social energy and influence the development of social ideology, and this force will also become the mainstay of social stability and smooth governance.

And this is precisely the very core of our united front work. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tianyi did not continue to speak, but looked at Zhao Zhijian coldly and said: "Mayor Zhao, I have said so much about my understanding of the united front work, I don't know if you are satisfied, do you still need to be further tested?"

When Li Tianyi spoke, Zhao Zhijian had been listening silently, to be honest, she was very shocked by Li Tianyi's performance, after all, Li Tianyi was the first time to take over the united front work, even if he usually paid attention to the united front work, but he should not have such a deep and thorough understanding of the united front work.

However, what Li Tianyi is talking about now is not much inferior to the knowledge of a normal head of the United Front Work Department of the municipal party committee.

However, Zhao Zhijian was still a little unhappy, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Li Tianyi, let me ask you one last question, if you can answer it, it means that you really have some understanding of united front work, but if you can't answer it, it means that you are not qualified at present." ”

Li Tianyi didn't say anything, but raised his head and said provocatively, "You ask, right?"

At this moment, Li Tianyi no longer had the low-key and restrained expression he had before, but instead had a mockery of Zhao Zhijian on his face, and his face was full of strong confidence.

Zhao Zhijian asked: "Li Tianyi, you also said just now that the united front is an important magic weapon for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, accelerating socialist modernization, and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, so why is this?"

As the head of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee, you must not only know the conclusion, but also know why such a conclusion was made, and on what basis?"

Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said: "Comrade Zhao Zhijian, you have asked this question very well, I have consulted some veteran leaders on this issue, and I have also thoroughly studied the regulations on united front work, and the reason why there is such a formulation is because at present, China is in the critical stage of coordinating the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout and striving to achieve the "two centenary" goals, and is closer than ever to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and at the same time is also carrying out a great struggle with many new historical characteristics. To achieve the ultimate victory in this struggle, it is impossible for our party to "walk a thousand miles alone" alone, and we must be good at pooling the wisdom and strength of the people.

If we want to improve people's livelihood and make the country rich and the people strong, we must promote economic development, which requires all members of the united front to contribute together and participate in innovation and creation. The United Front is the largest non-Party think tank that recruits non-Party talents and gathers wisdom from outside the Party. Every year, members of the united front from all quarters, such as democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and personages without party affiliation, put forward a large number of opinions and suggestions, which are of great benefit to the scientific and democratic decision-making of the party and the government. The number of non-public economic organizations has accounted for 90 percent of the main body of the market, contributing more than 60 percent to GDP and more than 80 percent to employment, making it the most active entity in the socialist market economy. Among the non-party intellectuals, there are a large number of outstanding talents such as Wang Xuan, the "contemporary Bi Sheng", and Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", whose inventions and creations have produced immeasurable economic benefits and social wealth. Only by mobilizing these groups and giving full play to their roles can we achieve economic and social scientific development.

In order to comprehensively deepen reform, it is necessary to build consensus on reform with a united front and guide members from all walks of life to understand, support, and participate in reform. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, people's ideological concepts have been markedly strengthened, with their independence, differences, diversity, and variability. In particular, at present, the comprehensive deepening of reform has entered a period of deep water and tackling tough problems, and the profound adjustment of the pattern of interests will inevitably bring about profound changes in ideology and concepts, touch the "cheese" of some people, and trigger deep-seated contradictions and problems. Some people, either influenced by Western ideas or proceeding from their own interests, have a vague and erroneous understanding of the issue of reform. A small number of people have seized the opportunity of reform to trumpet the "universal values" and "constitutional democracy" of the West. The united front is built on a common ideological and political foundation, and it has a heavy responsibility in gathering the greatest common divisor of reform and gathering positive energy.

In order to maintain social stability, it is necessary for the united front to actively coordinate relations, resolve contradictions, and ensure the harmony of the "five major relations." The harmony and stability of society cannot simply rely on blocking pressure, but must be good at soothing the liver and regulating qi, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. The united front has its own advantages in straightening out emotions, coordinating relations, and resolving contradictions, focusing on starting from the source and starting from the hearts of the people, and soothing and releasing social tension through communication and consultation, education and guidance, and taking care of interests.

In particular, as China's comprehensive national strength has become stronger and stronger, foreign hostile forces have intensified their Westernization and division of China by taking advantage of the so-called democracy, human rights, ethnicity, religion, and border issues. In recent years, ethnic separatist forces, religious extremist forces, and violent terrorist forces have colluded with each other, and mass incidents and even violent terrorist cases involving ethnic and religious factors have occurred frequently. The united front is at the forefront of the struggle against separatism, infiltration, and subversion, and it must be responsible for defending the territory and fulfilling its responsibilities in safeguarding national unity, ethnic unity, and social stability.

In particular, to promote the reunification of the motherland, it is necessary for the united front to extensively unite Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese compatriots to form a powerful joint force to oppose "independence" and promote reunification. Adhering to the principle of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems" is, in a certain sense, to realize and safeguard national reunification with the concept and method of the united front. At present, the trend of long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao is irreversible, and the trend of peaceful development between the two sides of the strait is irresistible, but the tasks in all fields are still very arduous. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to enhance the ties between Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and mainland compatriots, to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between compatriots on both sides of the strait, to intensify exchanges and cooperation, to enhance the national sense of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and the awareness of the Chinese nation, to extensively unite with Taiwan compatriots, to unite with all forces that favor and support reunification, and to realize the Chinese dream of the reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the joint efforts of the sons and daughters of China at home and abroad. ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking in one breath, his face was calm and calm, and he looked at Zhao Zhijian coldly and asked: "Mayor Zhao, what do you think of my answer, are you quite satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you are welcome to help me point out the errors in my answer, and I am willing to accept your opinion." ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking, Zhao Zhijian's face was flushed with anger, but he was secretly shocked in his heart, in fact, the question he raised just now, he himself only has a general outline and impression, if he is asked to answer this question, he can only answer a limited number of points, but it is impossible for him to answer as comprehensively and accurately as Li Tianyi's answer, but Li Tianyi's answer is very accurate, and it can even be said that Li Tianyi's answers can be regarded as standard answers, and these answers have basically covered what Zhao Zhijian can imagine, including what he did not imagine。

At this moment, in the entire conference room, Zhao Zhijian was not the only one who was surprised, and the other Standing Committee members who remained in the conference room and just watched Li Tianyi and Zhao Zhijian fighting there were also secretly surprised.

Although they are not in charge of united front work, after all, they have reached the position of a member of the Standing Committee, and they still know a little about united front work; if at the beginning, none of them took Li Tianyi, the newly appointed young head of the United Front Work Department of the municipal party committee, in their eyes, because none of them thought that Li Tianyi could do this work well, but now, many people have begun to slowly take off their colored glasses and look at the young colleague in front of them with a new look.

Li Tianyi didn't care about the eyes of everyone around him, his eyes were focused on Zhao Zhijian's face from beginning to end, his gaze was solid and sharp, without the slightest compromise or concession.

Li Tianyi looked at Zhao Zhijian with a smile and asked, "Mayor Zhao, why don't you speak?" Could it be that the answer I just made asked so many questions that you can't even talk about it?"

Although it was just a few simple words, it pushed Zhao Zhijian directly into the corner, and he must now give Li Tianyi a clear answer.

If he affirms Li Tianyi's words, then this also means that in today's game, he said that he lost completely, and if he denies Li Tianyi's words, then he must come up with enough evidence and materials to prove that what Li Tianyi said is incorrect.

The whole scene was silent, and everyone was waiting for Zhao Zhijian's answer.
