摘要 General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly quoted the famous sayings and aphorisms of Su Dongpo, a great literary figure of the Song Dynasty, on various occasions to explain the governing philosophy of Communists. Su Dongpo is not only a monument in the literary and cultural history of China and even the world, but also a good official with outstanding political reputation. Throughout the legendary life of Su Dongpo, despite his bumpy career, he remained steadfast, caring for the people when serving as a high-ranking official in the court and the country when exiled to a remote place. He adhered to the principle of prioritizing honesty in personal conduct and prioritizing integrity in governance. In the new era, we can draw wisdom from Su Dongpo's thought of clean government, never forget our original aspirations, remember our missions, and firmly establish and practice the "correct view of political achievements".
