This spring, the wind of innovation is blowing vigorously. DeepSeek emerged, and quantum technology, embodied intelligence, 6G, and "artificial intelligence +" were written into the government work report... General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized scientific and technological innovation many times during this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. When the new round of scientific and technological revolution reshapes the map of the times in a fission way, how can the abilities of leading cadres match it?
On March 29, 2004, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out in the article "Strive to have a knowledge structure that meets the requirements of the times" in the column "Zhijiang New Language" that "In today's era, science and technology are developing rapidly, and various knowledge is emerging one after another. It is urgently required that every comrade, especially leading cadres, strengthen their learning", and requires that "we must strengthen the idea of living and learning until they are old, take the initiative to carry out a 'learning revolution', and effectively transform external requirements into internal consciousness, and become one's own interest, a habit, a spiritual need, and a way of life." This requirement is still forward-looking today.
Comrade Xi Jinping loves learning. In Liangjiahe, he often stayed in front of the kerosene lamp for a long time and even his nostrils were blackened. In Zhengding, his desk and bedside were filled with books. In Zhejiang, he often "encourages learning" and requires leading cadres to seek knowledge and read well, and be knowledgeable and have great attention. Because of his rich knowledge and forward-looking vision, Comrade Xi Jinping personally deployed and implemented major scientific and technological innovation strategies such as "Digital Zhejiang", leading Zhejiang to take the lead in high-quality development.
"Our party has created history through learning, and must rely on learning to move towards the future." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has further started from the overall situation and guided leading cadres to overcome the problems of insufficient skills, panic in their skills and backward skills through learning.
Today, revisiting the strategic value of "taking the initiative to have a 'learning revolution'", the important call is becoming increasingly prominent. Looking at the world, artificial intelligence empowers thousands of industries, and the "technological singularity" has given birth to a new track. Zhejiang continues to deepen the "Eight Eight Strategy", and scientific and technological innovation is fruitful. It is making every effort to accelerate the construction of innovative Zhejiang, develop new quality productivity according to local conditions, and build a modern industrial system with Zhejiang characteristics, striving to be ahead in promoting the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. When thousands of sails compete and do not advance, they will retreat. Leading cadres strengthen their learning, and it is time to go without time.
Practice what you learn and integrate knowledge and action. As the innovation passion of Zhejiang enterprises and new scientific research institutions is surging, only by studying hard and studying in depth can leading cadres understand the technical language of scientists, understand the pain points and difficulties of entrepreneurs, and accurately deliver services to the "acupuncture points" of the innovation chain. We must aim at cutting-edge fields, take the initiative to enter the laboratory to perceive the computing power leap of quantum computers, go deep into the future factories to understand the system reconstruction of intelligent manufacturing, take root in the free trade pilot zone to explore the implementation path of institutional openness, grasp the logic of technological change in practice, and understand the laws of industrial leap in real scenes. At the same time, we will build an open and diverse learning ecosystem, learn from experts and scholars and ask questions from grassroots people, summarize local practices and learn from international experience, study professional works and master AI learning tools, enhance learning ability and improve learning efficiency.
In the road of learning, and to cultivate fertile ground for innovation with the tenacity of "hard gardeners", Zhejiang will surely be at the forefront of shaping new development advantages through scientific and technological innovation. (Commentator Zhang Ping)
