CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection organ newspaper： it is a language bribe to call ＂deputy＂ as ＂chief＂

　　When the author went to the countryside for investigation, some people quietly asked me: "How many directors and directors do you have?" How come it is not the director or the director when it is introduced? " I had to say truthfully: "Some are deputy directors and deputy directors, and some are just ordinary cadres in the organs."

　　At present, the vulgarization of appellation within the Party has been obviously improved, but it is still common for some job appellations to like to "wear a top hat". Some ordinary cadres at the grassroots level have also been introduced as so-and-so directors and so-and-so section chiefs, giving the masses the impression that "all the officials from above are immortal" and increasing the sense of distance between party member cadres and the masses. If the introduction is changed to "This is a certain comrade in a unit in our county", wouldn’t it be closer to the masses? Wouldn’t it be better to carry out the work?

　　The most common way to address "wearing a top hat" is to call "deputy" as "principal". Some comrades deliberately omit the word "deputy" in their titles in order to "please" their superiors, so as to show their respect for them. But there is also a "flattery" mentality, which is also a kind of "language bribe" to some extent.

　　Some leading cadres were flattered by the title of "wearing a top hat" at the beginning, but accepted it with peace of mind after a long time and enjoyed the superiority of being "wearing a top hat". Many party member cadres have become complacent in the name of "overstating", which breeds bureaucratic style.

　　In my opinion, the phenomenon of "wearing a top hat" will not only encourage the wind of flattery and dispel the seriousness of inner-party relations, but also have a negative impact on the relationship between the party and the masses and the overall image of the party, which is not conducive to the change of the style of cadres in party member. In the process of dealing with the masses, "call a comrade nearly one point, and call a post every other floor." Saying "Comrade" often brings us closer together, warms the hearts of the masses, and reminds party member cadres not to forget their true colors and purposes.

　　It is no small matter to call names within the party. The "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party" clearly stipulates that all party member in the Party are equal comrades and comrades-in-arms, despite their different division of work, and they should call each other comrades instead of official titles. For a time, it was difficult to hear the voice of calling each other comrades in party activities. Even in the party committee meeting, even in the party group meeting, party member also called each other official titles, not comrades.

　　Calling each other comrades within the party is an important indicator of a good political ecology within the party, an important political rule of the party, and an important embodiment of serious political life within the party. Party member cadres should overcome feudal privileged thoughts and hierarchical concepts, enhance the concept of equality, create a good atmosphere of inner-party democracy, keep a clear head, put down the leadership shelf, be pragmatic and honest for the people, and be down-to-earth officers. Leading cadres, in particular, must set an example, take the lead in resisting abnormal inner-party appellations, vigorously advocate matching comrades, purify inner-party appellations, and make "comrades" the mainstream of inner-party interpersonal communication.
