First, we should nail down the key points. We should grasp the main contradictions and the main aspects of the main contradictions, use “Lego thinking”, emphasize system integration, concentrate our strength on the key points, and promote the overall situation from the point to the whole. Second, we should nail down the key points to the end. We should clarify the reform path and be determined to bite the “hard bones”. Third, we should not use brute force. We should combine the actual situation and local conditions, start from the overall situation, find more down-to-earth methods, and hold a pragmatic and effective meeting.
