Always maintain integrity and strength within yourself.

        "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself." Recently published, the book "Loyal Guardians: A Chronicle of Outstanding Role Models from China's Discipline Inspection and Supervision System" highlights 34 exemplary individuals who have earned national honors since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. These role models have been at the forefront of efforts to uphold Party integrity and combat corruption—demonstrating unwavering loyalty to the Party, bravely stepping up to tackle tough challenges, boldly engaging in decisive struggles, while maintaining strict discipline and personal integrity. Through their actions, they truly embody the qualities of loyalty, honesty, and responsibility. All discipline inspection and supervision officials are encouraged to take these outstanding examples as their guide, anchoring their conduct firmly in Party principles, honing their resolve, building unshakable resilience, and mastering real skills. By strengthening self-supervision and self-discipline, they must consistently ensure that they remain upright and capable, setting a shining example for others to follow.

　　Taking advanced role models as our guide, we forge unwavering loyalty with resolute integrity. Loyalty is the inherent political DNA of disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies—and it stands out as the most distinctive political quality of those working in this field. To maintain integrity and strength within ourselves, the paramount requirement is absolute loyalty to the Party. Yet loyalty does not arise spontaneously; it demands both genuine emotional attachment and a rational, conscious commitment to the Party. We must persistently embrace Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, using it to unify our minds and fortify our souls. This will help us firmly uphold our ideals and beliefs, leading by example in cherishing, trusting, being loyal to, and safeguarding the core leadership of the Party. Above all, we must translate our profound understanding of the decisive significance of the "two establishments" into concrete actions that genuinely embody the "two safeguards." Loyalty to the Party is not abstract—it is deeply rooted in practice, reflected in our ability to fulfill our duties effectively and deliver tangible results in our daily work. We must strengthen political oversight, ensuring the thorough implementation of the CPC Central Committee’s decisions and plans, while upholding the Party’s unity and cohesion. With a mindset of dedication—devoting ourselves wholeheartedly to the Party and the nation—we must proactively shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to us by the Party and the people. In the ongoing efforts to enforce discipline, rectify conduct, and combat corruption, let us demonstrate our commitment through concrete actions and measurable outcomes, truly embodying loyalty in every step we take.

　　Taking advanced role models as our guide, we must shoulder the urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy responsibilities with unwavering resolve and unyielding determination. In this new era, both anti-corruption efforts and Party conduct building face fresh challenges and critical tasks, placing increasingly higher and more stringent demands on the competence and qualities of the discipline inspection and supervision teams. Discipline inspectors and supervisors must not only be politically steadfast but also highly skilled in their professional capabilities. They must remain resolute in their commitment to fight bravely—never shying away from difficulties, nor evading responsibility when duty calls. Upholding integrity, fearlessly confronting wrongdoing, refusing to kowtow to power or intimidation, and maintaining moral fortitude at all costs, they must stay focused on their mission without hesitation or self-doubt, leaving no room for retreat. To succeed in this relentless battle—whether short-term or long-term—they must consistently lead the charge. Employing effective working methods such as deep learning, practical research, and robust implementation, they should seamlessly integrate study, reflection, and application, ensuring that knowledge, belief, and action are aligned. By dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to their work, they demonstrate loyalty and honesty; by tackling tough issues head-on, they showcase courage and accountability; and by delivering tangible results, they prove the effectiveness of their efforts. Moreover, it is essential to strengthen their awareness of the rule of law, procedural rigor, and the importance of evidence. We must intensify efforts toward standardization, legalization, and institutionalization, while continuously advancing comprehensive training programs and hands-on practice sessions. Simultaneously, deepening theoretical research into the foundational principles of discipline inspection and supervision will help enhance their ability to perform duties in strict accordance with regulations, discipline, and the law—enabling them to fulfill their responsibilities with even greater confidence and strength.

　　Take advanced role models as our guide and always uphold integrity and honesty. To be strong oneself, one must first remain廉洁 (honest and upright). Integrity is the very foundation upon which disciplinary inspection and supervision officials rely to establish their credibility and authority, as well as the source of courage that drives them to combat corruption and wrongdoing. We must perpetually embrace the spirit of self-revolution, cultivating a keen sense of self-reflection—recognizing our own shortcomings with humility—and proactively identifying, openly admitting, and courageously addressing our weaknesses and imperfections. Above all, we must resolutely fight against any problems or negative tendencies within our own ranks. Always keep the Party and the people at the highest priority in our hearts, firmly upholding the correct views on power, achievements, and career. We must vigilantly guard against being "lured" or "targeted," continuously strengthening our willpower, resilience, and self-control. Uphold unwavering political principles, strict disciplinary boundaries, and unshakable ethical standards. Consciously submit ourselves to the most rigorous constraints and oversight, exercising power with utmost caution and maintaining the strictest self-discipline. Act impartially in enforcing discipline and law, using power with integrity and transparency. By doing so, we can safeguard ourselves against political pitfalls, maintain proper control over our responsibilities, foster healthy interpersonal relationships, lead disciplined lives, and nurture harmonious family bonds—ultimately setting an exemplary standard for upholding discipline, improving work styles, and resisting corruption and moral decay.

　　The disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies are the Party's "discipline force," and the cadres working in these agencies are loyal guardians of the Party and the people—possessing a glorious mission and肩负重大责任. The greater the trust and high regard they enjoy from the Party and the people, the more they must remain humble and prudent, avoiding arrogance and impatience, and maintain a constant sense of vigilance, as if standing on the brink of an abyss or walking on thin ice. We must consolidate and expand the achievements of thematic education, striving with even higher standards and stricter discipline to thoroughly advance the education and rectification campaign among the national disciplinary inspection and supervision teams. This will continuously strengthen political loyalty, weed out corrupt elements, refine the rigorous management system, and enhance the capacity for fighting corruption. Only then can we ensure that the power entrusted to us by the Party and the people is never abused, and that the sword of justice—used to punish evil and promote good—remains forever untarnished. Ultimately, we must earn the full confidence of the Central Committee of the Party and General Secretary Xi Jinping, while earning the unwavering satisfaction of the people.
