Striking the “Loudest Note” for Development and Unlocking the “Master Switch” of Thought | The Party Committee of China Air Separation Kicks Off a Thrilling Wave of Broad Discussions on Liberating Minds

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China—a pivotal year for our company to seize opportunities, build momentum, empower ourselves, and accelerate high-quality development through innovation. To thoroughly implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party and the spirit of the mid-year work conference, starting in August, the Party Committee of China Air Separation has taken ideological liberation as its guiding principle and practical, diligent action as its compass, launching a vigorous campaign of broad-based ideological discussions titled “Focusing on Goals, Confronting Challenges, Seizing Opportunities, and Overcoming Difficulties.” This initiative has encouraged all cadres and employees to directly face problems, engage in brainstorming sessions, and sound the clarion call for overcoming obstacles and achieving victory, thus propelling the company forward toward even higher goals.

Collide intellectual sparks, and turn the “main valve” of thought open.

At the mid-year work conference, Comrade Lou Jiangning, Party Secretary and Chairman of the company, posed four piercingly profound “soul-searching questions”—Are we steadfastly committed to our strategic goals? Are we persistently striving in the right direction? Are we bravely confronting problems, overcoming difficulties, and securing victory? Are we building a positive, trust-based organization? These four questions struck like heavy hammers, resonating deeply in the hearts of every cadre and employee. Faced with this critical period of riding the momentum and pooling efforts to tackle tough challenges, the entire company sprang into action upon receiving the call, swiftly making arrangements and fully launching the campaign for a broad discussion on liberating minds. Leading Party members and cadres set an exemplary example by going deep into the grassroots, personally mobilizing others, and fully initiating the campaign for a broad discussion on liberating minds—demonstrating their sense of responsibility and commitment through concrete actions. Meanwhile, each Party branch adopted various approaches to ensure that the spirit of the campaign reached every corner of the organization, enabling all employees to forge a shared intellectual consensus and laying a solid ideological foundation for the broader discussion.

After thorough deliberation and careful preparation, a series of vigorous discussions aimed at liberating minds have officially kicked off. At these discussion sessions, focusing on key tasks and objectives and guided by the “Four Questions of the Soul” and the “Three Requirements,” every cadre and employee engaged in deep and enthusiastic exchanges, closely tied to their actual work. Everyone tackled issues head-on, thoroughly identified shortcomings and weaknesses, and offered insightful suggestions and ideas. Sparks of wisdom kept igniting through lively exchanges and collisions, instantly unlocking the “main valve” of thought and ensuring that the keynote of practical action and steadfast implementation continued to resonate powerfully, swiftly propelling the campaign of liberating minds into a vibrant climax. From the photos taken at the meeting sites across various sectors and from the heartfelt reflections penned by employees, we can clearly see everyone’s enthusiastic participation and focused expressions.

Forge a shared vision for development and clearly define the “battle plan” for our endeavors.

In this extensive discussion, everyone is directly involved—there are no bystanders. Participants confronted the issues with a serious attitude, proactively proposed solutions and measures, and clearly defined their goals and directions for effort. From building a learning organization to strengthening core competitiveness, from closely aligning with national strategies to enhancing internal management, and from market expansion to technological innovation, participants offered comprehensive and multifaceted recommendations and decision-making references that will powerfully support the company’s long-term development.

Ideas transform through liberation, and perspectives are refreshed through collision. Building on the full integration of collective wisdom, various departments have engaged in further in-depth discussions. Representatives from each department have presented their research findings, covering such diverse areas as market expansion, technological innovation, and management enhancement. With detailed data, vivid case studies, and profound insights, these presentations have drawn up a clear “battle plan” for the company’s future development. From these meticulously crafted battle maps, we can almost glimpse the bright prospects for the company’s future growth.

Accurately diagnose the situation and clarify the direction—playing the “strongest note” for development.

After careful organization and summarization, the “Collection of Achievements from the Company’s Great Discussion on Liberating Minds” was officially released in September! It comprehensively includes the most insightful perspectives, innovative ideas, and concrete initiatives from the great discussion. This collection not only serves as a profound retrospective on the company’s development but also provides an important guide for its future growth. Since the release of the “Collection,” all employees have responded enthusiastically, expressing their commitment to turning the rich outcomes of the great discussion into a powerful driving force that will propel the company forward. From this “Collection,” we can also see the vigorous strides taken by all employees as they move ahead with determination.

Comrade Lou Jiangning, Party Secretary and Chairman of the company, gave full recognition and insightful comments on this extensive discussion activity. He conducted a comprehensive assessment of the research findings from each business segment and put forward specific requirements as well as earnest expectations. He called upon all cadres and employees to take this major discussion on liberating minds as an opportunity to further deepen the building of a learning organization, broaden their horizons, and step up to the challenge with a spirit of indomitable determination and unwavering conviction, thereby driving the company toward its goal of high-quality, sustainable, and healthy development.

This extensive discussion on liberating minds is not only a clash of ideas but also a fusion of wisdom. It represents an important practical step taken by the company’s Party Committee to foster a learning-oriented and combat-ready organization. Every cadre and employee has been encouraged to free their minds, think innovatively, and share their wisdom. As a result, the atmosphere within the company—where everyone works together in unity and collaborates for common development—has grown even stronger. Moving forward, the company will actively follow up on the outcomes achieved, ensuring that these results are translated into concrete actions and that employees remain consistently united, positive, and driven. We firmly believe that as long as all employees work together with one heart and one mind, we will surely propel the company to new heights of development and carve out a vast and promising future for ourselves in the fiercely competitive market.
