First, the main way: According to the survey, there are more than 5,000 retired cadres in XX County. The ranks of veteran cadres are huge, widely distributed, experienced, influential, healthy and energetic. Their role mainly takes the following forms: First, they act as "senators" of public welfare undertakings and transmit positive energy. Lu Xuekong, Zhang Baoting and other veteran cadres who once held leadership positions, with their rich political experience, were invited to attend and attend important party and government meetings and participate in major decisions, and put forward many valuable opinions and suggestions on strengthening party building, developing economy and social progress, and were praised as "political advisers" by the society; Han and Zhang, relying on the Working Committee of the Committee on Aging, the Association for Promoting the Aged and other organizations, went deep into the community, towns and other grass-roots units to investigate and study, put forward suggestions on strengthening youth education and promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, and made suggestions for the development of various undertakings in our county, which was well received by people from all walks of life. In recent years, the county work committee has helped poor outstanding students 1000, senior high school students/600 and primary and secondary school students 1200, and donated more than 4 million yuan. Focusing on the overall deployment of the county party committee and the county government on "Three Cities Co-creation", the County Association for the Aged insists on the value orientation of adding positive energy to the party's cause through the work of veteran cadres, giving full play to the role of veteran cadres, expanding the volunteer service team of "Three Cities Co-creation", promoting the work of "Three Cities Co-creation" in the county, and contributing to the construction of a harmonious, rich and beautiful new xx. The second is to act as a "counselor" to train the next generation and pass on positive energy. In recent years, the propaganda group for veteran cadres, with Bi Xinnian and Shi Yongde as the backbones, went deep into communities, villages and schools and gave 20 lectures on revolutionary tradition, patriotism, national defense knowledge and legal knowledge, with 530,000 people educated. Lv Xuekong, Yuan and other old education experts use their summer vacation time to go deep into communities such as tsinghua campus, Mingjun and Xindi Sunshine City every year to carry out publicity and education activities of "safety education into communities, and young and old work together to build peace"; At the same time, various thematic practice activities were carried out in Tomb-Sweeping Day, June 1 and National Day, and the active participation of the majority of veteran cadres played a positive role in promoting the healthy growth of young people and social harmony and stability; The County Association for the Aged invited Thompson, a national model of "three elders", police officers and judicial personnel to educate students on the "Three Principles", broadcast more than 380 patriotic education films, educated more than 20,000 teachers and students, registered more than 20,000 left-behind children/kloc-0, and issued 4,000 proposals to primary and secondary schools in the county. More than 2,400 child stars were selected and 45 outstanding teachers were selected in the child star selection campaign for respecting the elderly. The third is to act as a "mediator" of contradictions and disputes and pass on positive energy. Shi Yongde, Wang Xuezhi and other retired cadres take the County Association for the Aged as a platform, and form "Five Old Mediators" from veteran cadres, old teachers, old party member, old soldiers and old models with good mass foundation and good health, and go deep into villages, groups and communities with many contradictions and disputes and public security cases to mediate civil disputes, educate the masses to change their customs and advocate guiding them to live a positive and healthy lifestyle. Over the years, there have been 6 13 associations for the aged in counties, townships and villages, with nearly 10,000 members, mediating more than 20,000 civil disputes. It has solved the problems of supporting some elderly people, family planning, civil conflicts and disputes, protected the interests of the masses, and effectively promoted the county's economic development and social stability. This experience has been fully affirmed by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and has been popularized in the whole city, the whole province and the whole country. The fourth is to act as a "propagandist" of the elderly culture and pass on positive energy. With Zhao Jing 'an and Du Baiquan as the backbones, painting and calligraphy lovers of veteran cadres actively organize and carry out colorful cultural and artistic exchange activities for the elderly, such as painting and calligraphy exhibitions on the Double Ninth Festival every year, and painting and calligraphy exhibitions with different themes on National Day and important festivals to show the good spirit of "learning, doing and having fun" of veteran cadres; It has promoted the cultural pension of veteran cadres and enriched and enlivened their cultural life. It has further stimulated the enthusiasm of veteran cadres to strive for waste heat and build a Chinese dream together, ensuring that veteran comrades are politically firm, their ideals last forever, and their ideas are always new. In addition, some retired cadres of calligraphy and painting in China volunteered to write and paint for the masses on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival and the Spring Festival, which was generally welcomed by the masses. The county's elderly painting, calligraphy and poetry research society has become a beautiful landscape in the construction of civilization. The fifth is to be a "counselor" of continuing education for the elderly and pass on positive energy. Xx County University for Retired Veterans has been a place for ideological and political work of veteran cadres for 25 years, a classroom for learning modern scientific and cultural knowledge, a place for cultural and recreational activities, and a platform for serving the society, which has made the school develop continuously and attracted more and more people. The number of students in the school has increased to more than 700, which has been praised by the provincial and municipal bureaus of retired veteran cadres for many times, and has been praised by the organization department of the provincial party Committee and the bureau of retired veteran cadres as "the advanced collective of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the provincial school for retired veteran cadres". Comrade Li Haishan, the former executive vice president, was awarded the honorary title of "Advanced Individual in the Work of Retired Veteran Cadres in the Province" by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the honorary title of "Excellent party member" by the organization department of the provincial party committee and the bureau of retired veteran cadres of the provincial party committee, and the honorary title of "Advanced Individual in the Work of Aging in China". Second, there is a problem. Our county has achieved good results in giving full play to the positive energy role of veteran cadres, but there are also some shortcomings, mainly in the following aspects: First, the ideological understanding is not in place. According to the survey, the leaders of a few departments and units don't know enough about the role of veteran cadres in playing positive energy, and think that old comrades are old and have little effect, which will also bring health problems; Besides, there are many people now, so it's not good to come back after retirement. In addition, some old comrades are bound by ideas and lack the initiative to play their role. They think that they have been busy for most of their lives, and now they are old, and their health and energy are not as good as before. The main task after retirement is to have a good rest and keep healthy and happy. Second, the organization and guidance are not enough. Insufficient unit support. Some units only verbally support the role of veteran cadres, but they have not put it into action. In terms of housing, equipment, books, newspapers and magazines, transportation and expenses, there is not much support for veteran cadres to play their roles, which limits their desire and conditions to play their roles. Third, the knowledge and ability of veteran cadres can not be updated and improved in time. After retirement, some veteran cadres have a narrow life circle, so they can't keep abreast of new situations and changes, and can't understand and absorb advanced experience from other places. Over time, especially a group of retired cadres with professional knowledge, their original knowledge can no longer meet the needs of social development, which makes them feel unable to play their role. Fourth, the social atmosphere is not strong. First, the news media's coverage of the role of veteran cadres is not deep enough, and the propaganda of typical training by the old-related departments is not strong enough, lacking public opinion guidance. Second, family support is not enough. Support from the families of veteran cadres is the most rare and effective. However, some family members believe that they should provide for the elderly after retirement and should not serve the society any more. These concepts restrict and influence the role of veteran cadres. Fifth, there is a lack of evaluation and incentive mechanism. At present, there is no evaluation and incentive system for veteran cadres to play their roles in provinces, cities and counties, and most of them play their roles out of the spiritual realm of not seeking returns and being indifferent to fame and fortune. As a work that needs to be carried out for a long time, it is obviously not in line with the rhythm and requirements of the times to rely only on the dedication of a few respected veteran cadres. Relying only on the coordination of a few units such as the Bureau of Retired Veteran Cadres, there is a long-term lack of an effective evaluation and incentive system at the provincial, city and county levels, which is not conducive to making a scientific and effective evaluation of the role of veteran cadres, nor to promoting the advanced and mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties. Third, suggestions and reflections First, educate and guide, and lay a solid theoretical foundation for veteran cadres to play an active role. Pay attention to strengthening the education of political consciousness, earnestly implement the rights and interests of veteran cadres such as the right to know, the right to participate and the right to supervise, pay attention to the education of political theory, policy and current affairs and political discipline, and educate and guide the majority of veteran cadres to stand firm, take a clear-cut stand, take care of the overall situation and support development. At the same time, we should attach importance to pre-retirement education and provide education and training for cadres who are about to retire. The original unit should carry out positive energy education, guide the learning activities after retirement, overcome the negative thought that "retirement is rest" and lay a good foundation for adding positive energy. We will continue to expand the coverage of education for the elderly, and gradually promote the construction of the education system for the elderly in villages and towns, so that the vast number of veteran cadres and veteran comrades living in rural areas can receive re-education conveniently, learn new knowledge, increase new skills, keep up with the times, and improve their ability to participate in society. We should often hold special reports on veteran cadres, or invite them to participate in various situation analysis meetings and reports, so that veteran cadres can always maintain their political firmness, fresh ideas and eternal ideals. The second is to stimulate enthusiasm and create a humanistic environment for veteran cadres to play an active role. To give full play to the role of veteran cadres, we should create a good environment, build a platform for veteran cadres to actively participate in economic development and the construction of socialist three civilizations, build a bridge for veteran cadres to be active and exert their waste heat, and create a good activity room and exchange mechanism for veteran cadres. Create a strong atmosphere of respecting the elderly, vigorously publicize the advanced deeds of veteran cadres who have contributed to building a harmonious society, publicize the excellent quality of selfless dedication of veteran cadres to social and economic development, set up an advanced model of "doing something for the elderly", carry out advanced personal activities, and inspire veteran cadres to make new contributions and make new contributions to promoting the leap-forward development of county economy and society. The third is to build a platform to broaden the service areas where veteran cadres play an active role. It is necessary to combine the reality of veteran cadres, take the opportunity of enriching their spiritual and cultural life, give play to the role of veteran cadres in various activities, innovate ways to play their roles, and mobilize their enthusiasm. For example, organize group entertainment activities, organize regular travel in different places every year, organize regular health lectures, organize square dance, Tai Ji Chuan and other networking and exchange activities, so that they can enjoy their old age in a healthy and positive state. At the same time, build a community service management platform. Make full use of community resources, increase service connotation, and give play to the role of veteran cadres in community construction, community party building and community spiritual civilization construction. Let the old cadres study, move, be cared for and play a role nearby. The fourth is to improve the mechanism and provide logistical support for veteran cadres to play an active role. Improve the organizational guarantee mechanism and give full play to the role of the leading group for the work of veteran cadres in overall planning and coordination. Formulate preferential policies to form a positive energy pattern of veteran cadres led by the government, absorbed by the society and developed independently. Establish a multi-channel mechanism to attract veteran cadres to participate in social services, and provide demand information and necessary help for veteran cadres to actively participate in activities. At the same time, establish a funding guarantee mechanism. It is necessary to set up an old-age fund through financial subsidies, fund-raising by units, social donations and other channels to provide necessary venues, facilities, transportation and other support for veteran cadres to play their roles, meet their reasonable needs, and protect their work enthusiasm. At the same time, it is necessary to provide reliable security for veteran cadres to play their roles, and take necessary safety insurance measures according to their physical conditions to ensure the personal safety of veteran cadres. Adding positive energy to the party's cause is an important mission entrusted by our party to the work of veteran cadres under the new situation. In the historical journey of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, ×× County will organize retired cadres to release more positive energy and make greater contributions.
