Fang Guogang served as the governor of Qionghai, but his mother-in-law was ill and was in the Union Hospital. Fang Guogang never had time to take care of him, so he could only stay in Beijing for a few days during the Spring Festival to take care of his old mother-in-law. Lu Weimin also learned this news from Xia Lixing

.

Fang Guogang also took good care of Lu Weimin when he was working in Changjiang. Fang Guogang also supported Lu Weimin in many of his works, and he was also considered a ministerial-level cadre who came out of Changjiang. Now that he is in Beijing, Lu Weimin wants to visit him due to emotions and reasons.

one time.

Sun Zhen was also very happy to contact Sun Zhen. When Lu Weimin visited Africa in December, Lu Weimin went to visit Sun Zhen because the Ministry of Culture needed to send people. However, Sun Zhen was also busy at that time and the two of them did not have much time.

We wanted to chat, so we only talked in the office for about ten minutes. It would be better to wait until Lu Weimin came back before we could get together. But as soon as he came back, Lu Weimin was very busy, and it was about to be the Spring Festival, so the two of them couldn't make up the time.

, so we couldn’t get together in the end, so we had to make an appointment during the Spring Festival.

But that’s okay, everyone can arrange their time better during the Spring Festival and have plenty of time to do it.

Sun Zhen should be a cadre with a relatively smooth official career. After serving as Secretary of the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee, he first served as the Vice Governor of Qing Province, and later was promoted to Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee/Secretary of the Xihai Municipal Party Committee, and then @≠

As the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he concurrently served as the secretary of the Xihai Municipal Party Committee, and then naturally became the governor of Qing Province. During the change, he was transferred to the central government as the minister of culture, which was regarded as officially joining Beijing as a Beijing official.

When Lu Weimin arrived at Sun Zhen's house, he didn't bring anything with him but the Four Treasures of the Study in Futou.

Fu brushes, ink brushes, oral paper, and fort inkstones are the things that best reflect the cultural character of Futou now. All four are pure Fengzhou local specialties. Sun Zhen served as the municipal party committee secretary in Fengzhou, and Lu Weimin

I also served as the mayor of Fengzhou and the county party secretary of Futou, so it was just right to bring these four exquisite things to visit the Minister of Culture.

Sun Zhen was very happy when Lu Weimin came to visit, but when he saw Lu Weimin bringing gifts from home, Sun Zhen was even happier.

"Hey, Weimin, you brought gifts when you came to the house. Do you want the Discipline Inspection Commission to register you?" Sun Zhen happily took the things from Lu Weimin's hands and joked.

"If the Discipline Inspection Commission has such free time, then it can only be left to them." Lu Weimin also looked indifferent, "You are now a cultural person, and I have to think about the gift when I come to visit you. It must be in line with your status as a cultural person.

I'm afraid you won't like it if I bring some vulgar things to my door. You can buy them now in Futou County. They are also available in Changzhou City. A good set only costs a few hundred yuan. You can also buy a lower-grade one for 200 or 300 yuan.

, again. You can get a set for just a few dozen yuan. Of course, if you want to talk about expensive ones, there are also thousands and tens of thousands. I don’t have the money. I can only bring you, the Minister of Culture, a set that costs a few hundred yuan. You

If you feel uncomfortable accepting it, you can just give me five hundred yuan. Or you can bring me a bottle of wine back, which is fine."

Sun Zhen laughed out loud at Lu Weimin's tricky response, and Sun Zhen had not been so happy for a long time, "For the people, okay, I went to the Central Political Research Office to study policies all day long, and then I thought about how to deal with the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

"Minister Sun, you can say so. The Political Research Office has to study everything, both problems and countermeasures." Lu Weimin also laughed.

"Come, come and sit down. It's just the two of us today. Let's have a good chat. We haven't had this opportunity for many years. Now that we are all in Beijing, we still have a lot of contacts. It's time to pick up this habit. Before the holiday, I and I

Secretary-General Xia also said that if we have the opportunity, we can communicate more and discuss together, improve together, make progress together, and do a better job." Sun Zhen was quite emotional, "I remember the working atmosphere when I was an assistant to Secretary-General Xia.

It's pretty good. I'm still recalling what happened back then. More than ten years have passed. I can't believe how fast time flies. My temples are turning gray, and the forehead of Weimin, who was still a young boy back then, is also gray.

The wrinkles are showing."

"Minister Sun, you are too polite. Why are you so tactful? It's not an exaggeration to say that my forehead is covered with wrinkles. Why are they looming?" Lu Weimin was also amused by Sun Zhen's words.

The atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious. Sun Zhen also asked about Lu Weimin's visit to eight African countries. Lu Weimin also gave a brief introduction and also talked about some ideas on cultural exchanges.

"Cultural exchanges are easier said than done. Our cultural and artistic exchanges with Africa actually have mechanisms, but you and I both know how effective this artistic exchange is." Sun Zhen was not too polite when talking about work, "Exchanges

The purpose is to enhance understanding so that both parties can understand each other's culture and history, but in fact the exchanges in this way are superficial, or just a formality. You said that our cultural and art groups have communicated in the past, and ordinary African countries

How many ordinary people can understand and know about it? Similarly, when cultural and art groups from African countries come to perform here, how many people here can understand and appreciate the charm of African culture and art? There are very few, so I think this form

It’s not quite in line with reality.”

"Yes, the premise of cultural exchanges should be based on a certain basis. At least it must create a cultural atmosphere that can be understood and accepted. Europe and the United States have done a good job in this regard. Look at our country, opera/

Symphony/stage plays are very popular, and these are largely the result of the erosion of mainstream European and American culture. That’s not to say that these European and American cultures should not come in, but how is our national culture doing? Is it possible to achieve the same in Europe and the United States?

Treatment?" Lu Weimin sighed and said: "This itself is an asymmetry. The weak will be weakened and eroded to a greater extent. Therefore, when talking about cultural exchanges, we should consider the inheritance and promotion of national culture.

.”

Lu Weimin's words were greatly recognized by Sun Zhen, and the two discussed the inheritance and promotion of national culture. They also talked about how the tourism industry can be organically combined with national culture/folk culture, and how the central government should create a strategy to enhance cultural soft power.

, On these topics, Lu Weimin felt that Sun Zhen's thinking was quite clear, and he also had a sense of crisis. However, China's current situation is such that how to cultivate cultural soft power. Lu Weimin felt that Sun Zhen was very urgent on this point, but he could not find it.

to the appropriate entry point.

"Minister Sun, the improvement of cultural soft power also requires a process, and it requires a fairly long-term plan from the central government. I think the Chinese studies and Confucius Institutes promoted by the state can be more diversified, and they are not suitable in the official atmosphere.

So strong, otherwise when we promote and expand to the outside world, it will easily arouse doubts and resistance from the outside world. I think we might as well consider supporting the establishment of some non-governmental cultural exchange foundations, or cultural cooperation plans. There are non-governmental organizations

To promote people-to-people exchanges and private-government assistance, Americans, Japanese, and Europeans are better than us in this regard. They do it subtly but persistently, and the effect is that every drop of water will penetrate the stone. And the cultural soft power

Once an infiltration invasion is successful, it will be very difficult to eliminate and reverse it. Look at the situation in Taiwan. After being colonized by Japan for decades, the Japanese forced colonial education and cultural infiltration in Taiwan. There are still many

Slave thinking permeates the brains of many Taiwanese people, which shows how difficult it is to eliminate this negative influence."

Lu Weimin's words once again aroused Sun Zhen's interest. Sun Zhen felt that he had finally found someone he could talk to. Although Lu Weimin was still a very young tree more than ten years ago, it has obviously grown into a towering tree now.

Shu, on many topics, will not just leave it to chance. Instead, he has his own opinions and ideas, which are even very reasonable.

The tea and water were changed, and the discussion between Lu Weimin and Sun Zhen continued until it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, before Lu Weimin reluctantly left Sun Zhen's house.

It is rare to find a colleague and leader who has a common language on many topics. Sun Zhen is one of them, and Lu Weimin believes that Sun Zhen will feel the same way.

Lu Weimin did not return to Changzhou during the Spring Festival this year, but he did not expect that there would be so many people coming to the capital to visit or pay homage to him that he would be overwhelmed.

On the Qilu Lan Island side, Xiang Wendong, Dong Jianwei and Jing Zhizhong came. On the Changjiang side, they also came in a group, like Song Dacheng and Guan Heng, Zhang Mingquan/Qi Yuanjun plus Tian Weidong and Feng Xihui, and

Yang Dajin, Li Youjun, Chang Lan, there is an endless stream.

Lei Zhihu and Tan Weifeng also came together. Lu Weimin was a little surprised by the arrival of these two people, but he still welcomed them.

These two people are now in charge of Changxi Prefecture, and it is said that they can cooperate well. However, Lu Weimin knows that the styles of these two people are actually not in sync with each other. It is just that both of them are people with a lot of knowledge and background, and can control it well.

They must live up to themselves and endure each other for the sake of the country, so outsiders cannot see the slightest difference. Only insiders understand that the two people have considerable differences in opinions at work, but they can control the differences, seek common ground while reserving differences, and advance the work. This is the ability of the two people.
