The Freedom of a County Party Secretary
I despise those who, after becoming minor officials, call themselves or each other "parents of the people." They eat the people's food, drink the people's drinks, and wear the people's clothes. How is it that when they wear a hat and decorations on their heads, they suddenly claim to be the "parents of the people," becoming the "parents who provide food and clothing" of the "parents of the people"? Power comes from the people, and official hats are issued by superiors. Promotions, demotions, and disgrace are decided by superiors, not by the people. That is the essence of the issue.
