The Subject Connotation of Model Worker Spirit and Its Extension in the New Era
The model worker spirit is a great spirit formed through the CPC's uniting and leading the masses in the glorious course of revolution,construction and reform.To accurately grasp the essence of the spirit of model workers,it is necessary to answer the questions such as for whom the model workers"dedicate themselves to job and strive for the first-class",why they"struggle hard and have the courage to innovate",and how they become"indifferent to fame and wealth and willing to dedicate".The model worker spirit inherits and transcends the simple virtue of diligence among ancient Chinese laborers,and embodies the dedication and struggle of modern working-class people under the leadership of the CPC.It replaces primitive alienated labor with labor discipline under socialist conditions,and annotates the Chinese modemization with group collaboration.The extension of model workers in practice has blurred the boundary between the model worker spirit and capital ethics to a certain extent,reflecting the complex relationship between theory and practice and that between principle and strategy.Recognizing the inevitable trend of labor liberation and grasping the historical initiative within interim limits is the essence of promoting the spirit of model workers in the new era.
