o: Best Practices for Nine-Sentence Dialogue

Chris Wat Wing Yin video: Best Practices for Nine-Sentence Dialogue 屈穎妍: 九句對白的最佳實踐

I once saw an advertisement on the Internet, and I was shocked, moved, and screamed. It was the first public service advertisement of the Communist Party of China. 曾經在網上看到一個廣告，感覺是震撼、是動容、是「嘩」一聲，那是中國共產黨第一個公益廣告。

Chris Wat Wing Yin: Hong Kong pro-establishment media person, pro-establishment media columnist, former deputy editor-in-chief of "Next Weekly" and worked in "Ming Pao", RTHK Radio 1's parent-child program "We Are Not" Former host of Monsters (January 8, 2012 – May 26, 2024) 屈穎妍: 香港建制派傳媒人，建制派媒體專欄作家，曾任《壹週刊》副總編輯和任職於《明報》，香港電台第一台親子節目《我們不是怪獸》前節目主持（2012年1月8日–2024年5月26日）

Does the Communist Party advertise? Yes, the world has changed, and the thinking of those who govern must also change. The way the advertisement is expressed is very un-Communist, but the underlying meaning is very Communist.

It was a public service announcement specially launched in 2016 for the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. It was one minute long and titled: "Who am I?" ", there are only 9 lines of dialogue: "Who am I? I am the one who left last, I am the one who started working earliest, I am the one who thinks of myself the least, I am the one who sticks to the end, I am action The fastest one, I am the one who cares about you the most. I am the Communist Party of China and I am always with you."

The Communist Party of China currently has more than 99.18 million members, more than 12 million of whom are under the age of 30. The number of members increases by more than one million every year. It is a ruling party that is getting younger, more energetic and responsible.

On average, one in every 15 people among the 1.4 billion people is a party member. Therefore, the behavior and style of these Communists around us is the best testimony of the implementation of those nine advertising lines.

For example, the recent floods in Hunan and the bursting of Dongting Lake's embankments, and the news that Communists are on the front line of disaster relief, have become touching scenes.

On this day, Tang Jiefeng, a secretary in Hengnan County, Hunan, discovered a large number of weeds blocking the entrance of the pond while patrolling, and the water level continued to rise. The situation was so critical that he couldn't wait for the engineers to come to repair it. Secretary Tang said, "I have been a special soldier and have good water resistance. Leave it to me." Without thinking, he dived to the bottom of the pond six times and finally cleared the blocked gap. The water level in the pond quickly increased. Falling, the entire village escaped disaster.

Youluxi Village in Taoyuan County was surrounded by floods and power was cut off. State Grid organized an "Electronic Mule Communist Party Service Team", led by manager Liu Guolin, who carried a 100-kilogram generator on their shoulders and walked 5 kilometers to bring light to the villagers.

Party members and cadres are not only on the front line, but also play a leading role. For example, in order to prevent floods from entering houses, the government has to distribute sandbags to residents. Where can there be so many sandbags at once? It turned out that the sandbags were made overnight by party members and the masses.

As soon as the flood came, many places immediately organized "Party member commandos". There were voluntary invitations everywhere such as "Party members come first" and "I am a Party member and I will do it." A disaster response is like an exam, which tests people's hearts, responsibilities, and even responsibility.

Looking back at Hong Kong, we do not have Communist Party members, and civil servants do not have the spirit of sacrifice to lead the way. In times of peace and prosperity, clear weather, and no disasters, it does not matter. Once adversity or even disaster strikes, everything will come true.

In recent years, Hong Kong's economy has been sluggish and the government's budget has been in deficit. However, there is no such thing as working together to tide over the difficulties among the 180,000 civil servants. The Executive Council has just approved a 3% salary increase for all civil servants this year, which will take effect on April 1 this year. Even retired civil servants will have their salaries increased by 2.3%.

With all industries in recession, how will citizens feel when they see this kind of salary increase that goes against the market? Legislative Council member Di Zhiyuan said this: "Citizens will ask: Such a civil servant needs a salary increase? I think this sentiment cannot be ignored."

If civil servants could be like the members of the Communist Party of China, "the one who sticks to it until the end and the one who cares about everyone the most," we wouldn't mind their salary increases every year. Unfortunately, disaster is the best test. Look at the black violence in 2019. Apart from the police force and some disciplinary forces, where have the other civil servants gone?

共產黨都打廣告？是的，世界變了，管治者的思維也要變，那廣告，表達手法很不共產黨，但內藏深意，卻很共產黨。

那是2016年中國共產黨成立95周年特別推出的公益廣告，全長1分鐘，題為：《我是誰？》，對白只得9句：「我是誰？我是離開最晚的那一個，我是開工最早的那一個，我是想到自己最少的那一個，我是堅守到最後的那一個，我是行動最快的那一個，我是牽掛大家最多的那一個，我是中國共產黨，始終和你在一起。」

中國共產黨目前黨員數目已超過9918萬，當中1千2百多萬是30歲以下，年增黨員人數過百萬，是一個愈來愈年青、愈來愈有活力有擔當的執政黨。

14億人口中，平均每15人就有一個是黨員，於是，這些身邊共產黨人的行為作風，就是實踐那9句廣告對白的最佳見證。

舉個例，近日湖南水災、洞庭湖決堤，共產黨人走在救災第一線的新聞，又成了一幕幕動人心弦的畫面。

這天，湖南衡南縣一位書記唐杰鋒在巡邏時發現大量雜草堵住塘口，水位不斷上漲。情況太危急，已等不及工程人員來搶修，唐書記說：「我當過特種兵，水性好，交給我處理。」然後不假思索，潛入塘底6次，終於把堵塞的缺口疏通，塘內水位迅速下降，整條村避過一刧。

桃源縣游鹿溪村因被洪水包圍，電力中斷。國家電網組織了「電騾子共產黨服務隊」，由經理劉國林帶領下，肩扛100公斤重的發電機，徒步5公里，為村民帶來光明。

黨員幹部不只衝在第一線，更發揮帶頭作用，譬如為阻止洪水入屋，政府要向居民分發沙包，一時間哪來這麼多沙包？原來，沙包都是黨員發動群眾連夜一起趕製出來的。

大水一來，很多地方立即組織「黨員突擊隊」，四處都有「黨員先上」、「我是黨員我來幹」之類的自動請纓。一場抗災，就如一次考試，考的是人心，考的是責任，考的更是擔當。

回頭看香港，我們沒有共產黨員，公務員也沒有這種身先士卒的犧牲精神，太平盛世、天朗氣清、沒災沒禍，不打緊，逆境甚至災難一來臨，一切就會見真章。

近年香港經濟低迷，政府財赤，但18萬公務員的字典卻沒有共渡時艱這回事。行政會議剛通過今年公務員一律加薪3%，並追加至今年4月1日生效，連退休公務員的長俸都有2.3%加幅。

百業蕭條下，市民看到這種逆市加薪會有什麼感覺？立法會議員狄志遠就這樣說：「市民會問：這樣的公務員，還要加薪？這種情緒我認為不能不留意。」

如果，公務員能像中國共產黨員一樣，是「堅守到最後那一個、牽掛大家最多那一個」，我們不介意他們年年加薪。可惜，災難是最好的考驗，看看2019年黑暴，除了警隊及部分紀律部隊，其他公務員哪裡去了？
