People's Daily: "What books should cadres read" is a serious outlook on life.

"He who governs the world governs himself first, and he who governs himself governs his heart first". In order to heal the mind and nourish nature, you should study. Reading and studying is an important way for leading cadres to strengthen their party spirit, strengthen their ideals and beliefs and enhance their spiritual realm. What books should cadres read? This is not only a personal hobby, but also a serious world outlook, values and outlook on life.

Books are still medicine. Books have coexisted with good and bad since they came into being, and the essence and dross coexist. Study hard, study hard needs to study hard. Reading can make or break a person. Throughout the ages, some officials who have fallen off the horse are nothing more than two reasons. On the one hand, they don't study or study, indulge in official desires and are satisfied with the status quo. Such "officials" are either "ignorant and blind" and heading for the point of no return, or they are not tolerated by the people and are eliminated by the times. On the other hand, I love reading, but I don't read serious books, but some messy books. Such "officials" often end up with lost faith, moral degeneration, moral corruption, and even moral integrity as prisoners.

It is also a skill for leading cadres to read some books quietly and selectively after busy work. Nowadays, the times are changing rapidly, and new situations and problems emerge one after another, which puts forward new requirements for the ruling ability of leading cadres. Only by studying more, reading more and reading good books after work can we be better qualified for this job. As a cadre in party member, what books to read and what books to read are not only personal hobbies, but also directly affect the party's ruling ability and advanced nature. Mao Zedong was not born in a scholarly family. His love for books all his life is out of the need to think about society, life and truth. Zhou Enlai loved reading all his life. Before he became rich, he learned many languages. A high-minded cadre who breaks away from vulgar tastes depends on reading books about life accomplishment constantly.

Reading good books can cultivate morality, nourish and transform. Reading good books can purify people's minds, cultivate people's sentiments, enrich people's knowledge and enhance people's talents. For leading cadres, it is especially necessary to read more books on new theories, new knowledge, new skills and new rules related to their own work, instead of "pulling" books and studying ways to seek power and govern people, which will only be spurned by people in the end.
