"Only when thousands of families do well can a country and a nation do well." "A good family style leads to prosperity and happiness; If the family tradition is bad, it will inevitably bring harm to our children and our society." Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has mentioned family and kinship on many occasions. From his childhood until he became a national leader, his devotion to serving the country was unswerving.
Parents are children's best teachers
"All families need to help their children buckle the first button of life and take the first step of life by teaching them knowledge and morality through their own actions." Xi is keenly aware of the importance of family tutoring, and his sense of responsibility and mission for the country was nurtured in his family when he was young.
Xi Jinping walks with his mother in unison
It is mentioned in Literature Affection of General Secretary Xi Jinping that when he was five or six years old, Xi was exposed to traditional Chinese culture under the influence of his mother. At that time, there were two versions of the comic book about Yue Fei's story. One was the biography of Yue Fei, and the other was a set of many books, among which one was the tattooed character of his mother-in-law. Another version is devoted to the story of loyal service to the country. After her mother bought it, she told the young Xi Jinping a story about his loyal service to the country and his mother-in-law's harsh words. "I say, stab on the word, how painful ah! My mother said it hurt, but she remembered it." "I have always remembered the words" loyalty to serve the country "and it is also the goal of my life," Xi recalled later.
Xi is also heavily influenced by his father, Xi Zhongxun. In the eyes of his father Xi Zhongxun, all the big and small things in the family have to give way to one thing. The biography of Xi Zhongxun has such an account. Once, Xi Jinping's mother told her children in unison: "Little things at home can't affect work." When Xi Zhongxun heard this, he said sternly, "Even major events cannot affect our work!" Xi Zhongxun told his sons and daughters with the persistence and selflessness of a Communist that they should be people with firm beliefs and benefit the people. No matter where they are and what position they are in, they should put national affairs first, serve the people wholeheartedly, and never forget the people, let alone be divorced from the people.
Teach by example. It is his parents' words and deeds that have a profound impact on the formation of Xi Jinping's values. After he became a leading cadre, he would tell his relatives and friends every time he went to work: "Don't engage in any business activities in the place where I work. Don't do anything under my banner. Otherwise, don't blame me for disowning all my relatives."
Peace in the home is the best wealth
"No matter how The Times change and how the economy and society develop, for a society, there is no substitute for the family's support for life, its social function and its role in civilization." Xi said when meeting with representatives of the first National Civilized Family.
It is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to value family and affection, and this is especially true of Xi Jinping, who is remembered in the Chinese people's mind.
In his office, several pictures of his family from different generations are prominently displayed: he is pushing his elderly father in his wheelchair, he is walking with his mother's hand, he is taking a group photo with his wife Peng Liyuan, he is playing with his young daughter on his bicycle...

On his father's 88th birthday, Xi, then governor of Fujian province, was unable to return home because of work. Ashamed, Xi wrote a letter to his father. In the letter, Xi Jinping mentioned the noble qualities he hoped to inherit and learn from his father: one is to behave like his father, two is to do things like his father, three is to learn from his father's persistent pursuit of faith, four is to learn from his father's pure child feelings, five is to learn from his father's simple life. "This is the family tradition of an exemplary old Bolshevik and Communist," Xi said in the letter. Such a good family tradition should be passed on from generation to generation."
As a military singer, his wife Peng Liyuan often had to accept the task of visiting other places for performances. Xi Jinping was always very concerned about her. As long as conditions allowed, no matter how late it was, he would call his wife at least once a day. In the past, Peng Liyuan would perform in the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and Xi Jinping, who works out of town, would make dumplings while watching the show when he returned to Beijing for the Spring Festival. He would cook dumplings with her when she returned home after the show.
"A harmonious family leads to social stability, a happy family leads to social harmony, and a civilized family leads to a civilized society. We should realize that only when thousands of families do well can a country and a nation do well."
Family tradition is a good inheritance
"All families should carry forward the fine family traditions and support the good morals of the whole society with the good family traditions of thousands of families." "Leading cadres at all levels should take the lead in the family traditions and set an example in the construction of family traditions." In the Book of Rites · University, it is said, "To run a country, one must first keep his family in order. There is no one who can teach others but his family cannot teach him."
The family style of leading cadres is not only related to their own families, but also related to the conduct of the Party and government.
"I am a farmer's son," is a phrase Xi Zhongxun often says at home. Xi Zhongxun often taught his children to rely on their own ability to eat, and encouraged them to go to difficult places, to the grassroots. In his last days, Xi Zhongxun said to his children many times, "I didn't leave you any wealth, but I did leave you a good reputation!" All this has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Mr Xi.

Talking about his father's influence, Xi said in a letter to his father: "You have influenced people around you with your great love. You are like an old cow working silently for the Chinese people. It also inspires me to devote all my life to serving the people, and to serving the beautiful country and the folks who raised me."
Not only did he say so, but he also did so. In January 2015, President Xi Jinping had a discussion with students of a training class for county Party secretaries of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee. When talking about his work experience in Zhengding County, Hebei Province, Xi said, "When I went to Zhengding, I was very worried when I saw the poor people living and the backward level of economic and social development. I do have a passion and an ambition to change this situation as soon as possible." Riding an old-fashioned Phoenix "28" bicycle, Xi often ruses the countryside of Zhengding County, crossing the north and south sides of the Hutuo River, conducting solid research and listening to the opinions of the masses.
In Ningde, he traveled to nine counties within three months of his arrival. Later, he traveled to most of the towns. After his arrival in Zhejiang, he spent more than a year in the province's 90 counties.
During his revisit to Lankao, Xi Jinping repeatedly praised Jiao Yulu for her good family style and strict demands on her children. When Jiao Shouyun, a descendant of Jiao Yulu, mentioned "family tradition", the General Secretary nodded thoughtfully and repeated three times: "Family tradition! Dan! Dan!"
The Chinese nation has always valued the family. As the saying goes, "the foundation of the world is at home". Aged respected, a good wife, Ann, mother and children, brother, brother friend GengDou family heirloom, thrifty, book of rites, law-abiding, under one roof and other traditional family virtues of the Chinese nation, in the heart of Chinese life, into the blood of the Chinese people, is a perennial, the new generation of support of the Chinese nation important spiritual strength, is the precious spiritual wealth of family civilization construction.
