In the 2015 Spring Festival Gala, there was a character named Hao Jian. What was the name of the skit about corruption and anti-corruption?

It is a sketch that satirizes people who flatter their bosses and flatter others in order to get a promotion, which was well received by the audience and netizens. On the one hand, this proves that the sketch pokes at the pain point with humor and sharpness, triggering an uproar; on the other hand, it also proves that this kind of flattery and speculation behavior is not uncommon in reality and needs to be vigorously rectified.

The behavior of flattery and speculation has been around since ancient times. It has to be said that the stubborn and evil habit of flattery and flattery in pursuit of fame and fortune still exists in today's officialdom. The much-hyped anti-corruption sketch of the Spring Festival Gala, "Following the Flirtatists," finally met with hundreds of millions of viewers, portraying the ugliness of those who flirt with others. While the public is laughing at the "sycophant" section chief, it is even more thought-provoking.

In fact, in China's officialdom for two thousand and hundreds of years, in addition to honest officials who can uphold Confucian teachings and act independently, sycophants are "politicians" that cannot be underestimated in the officialdom. He Shen in the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is known as the "King of Corruption", and he can be said to be a representative figure of "sycophants". Nowadays, in the sketch "Follow His Hobbies", "The leader likes fishing, so I dive to the bottom of the sea and hang it on the fishhook for him; the leader likes to play mahjong, so I give him the money to light the firecrackers; the leader likes cultural entertainment, I’ll take my great-grandfather’s relics and give them to him.”… From this point of view, “slapping butts” is a specialty of “sycophants”. Although it is despised by ordinary upright people, it is often useful.

As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of the leader's principles, you are afraid that the leader will not be interested." For example, in the sketch, the section chief with "flattering skills flowing in his blood", in order to persuade his subordinates to accompany the director who loves to play table tennis, used "a good opportunity for your ancestors to cheat" as bait, and lured a "whole-hearted" The image of "Serving the Leaders" is vividly portrayed. The reason why Lai Changxing was crazy about smuggling and the Yuanhua Group remained standing was because he tried every means to "advance to the leaders' favor" and targeted the "weak spots" of leading cadres, often maximizing his personal interests. Once this unhealthy trend prevails, the conduct of the party, government, people, and society will inevitably become unhealthy.

Before the Spring Festival Gala, the sketch actors also went to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and other departments to collect materials. From this point of view, anti-corruption has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Putting anti-corruption themes on the screen once again demonstrates the Party Central Committee’s firm determination to fight corruption with an iron fist. In fact, similar bad habits in official circles have long been seen in online newspapers. Look at those "flatterers" who "hold umbrellas for leaders", "help leaders carry bags by car doors", "carry leaders on their backs", etc., to please leaders in public. , look at those disgustingly flattering superiors, and endlessly provide mental massage for the leaders without surprising words. These are even more satirical sketches with practical significance.

Officials should be wary of "sycophants" who "do what they want" and "rectify others first". On the contrary, the reason why some leading cadres can be dealt with by "doing what they want" is because the leading cadres themselves "cannot afford to speak harshly." In order to make those who "just follow their own preferences" "heroes useless", leading cadres must strengthen their party spirit, keep in mind the purpose of serving the people, strictly control their "social circles", and treat those who have personal goals of cheering, flattering, and speculation. Those who work in the camp should remain highly vigilant and do not get into "small circles", let alone form "small circles". At the same time, the "cage" of the system must be tightened so that there are no "loopholes" to exploit in the "hidden rules". Only in this way can a good official political ecology be created.
