【词义解释】

反腐倡廉（to combat corruption and build a clean government），即反对腐败，倡导廉政。2012年12月4日，十八届中央政治局（Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee）审议通过《关于改进工作作风、密切联系群众的八项规定》，此后，从部署党的群众路线教育实践活动，聚焦“四风”问题，到开展“三严三实”专题教育，再到启动“两学一做”学习教育（studies on the theoretical and practical issues of party building），让全体党员经常性地学习党章党规党纪……党中央把贯彻落实八项规定精神作为“抓手”，一以贯之，步步深入。

当前，一部反腐倡廉电视剧《人民的名义》（In the Name of People）正在热播。该剧讲述了当代检察官维护公平正义和法制统一、查办贪腐案件的故事。

【背景资料】

十八大（18th CPC National Congress）以来，中央反腐力度之大，行动态度之果决，前所未有，引发国内国际舆论的强烈关注。为充分展现中央反腐工作的坚定决心，贯彻习近平总书记“坚持以零容忍态度惩治腐败”（zero tolerance to corruption / no tolerance to corruption）的反腐精神，《人民的名义》应运而生。该剧响应党中央反腐主题，刻画和展示中央反腐过程中的曲折经历和感人故事，为实现中国梦凝聚精神动力。
