Checking the people’s feelings is the focus of the grassroots and the first step to relieve the people’s worries. Only when people’s sentiments are “checked” comprehensively and “checked” accurately, can the people’s thoughts, worries, and hopes be transformed into a list of problems, tasks, and effects, so as to provide first-hand information for accurate problem solving.
Observe the people’s feelings and find out what the people need. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “What is a good fact must be considered from the immediate needs of the people, not subjective, simplistic or one-sided.” To carry out practical activities to go to the grassroots level, observe people’s conditions, relieve people’s worries, and warm people’s hearts, we must first fully Understand the real and specific needs of the masses, not “the needs that are fancied in our minds”. Taking it for granted, wishful thinking and working behind closed doors will not work; it will not work to change the position and count the routine work of the department as a practical project; it will not work to make it big and replace individual problems with common problems. Otherwise, even if you have good wishes, your work will not be grounded, good deeds will not be recognized, and even the image of the party and the government will be affected, and the hearts of the common people will be chilled.
To observe the public sentiment, we must do a good job in the “basic skill” of investigation and research. Looking back a hundred years, the party’s line, principles, policies, and major decisions and deployments all came from adhering to the mass line and relying on investigation and research. In this practical activity, we must fully carry forward the glorious tradition of our party, let the masses speak, listen to the opinions of the masses, seek problems, work on difficulties, discover and solve a group of people’s “urgent and worrying” problems, and must not scribble and decide. You can’t be high, and you can never engage in “fake big empty”. Through meticulous and small investigation and research, we can truly discover the urgent and specific problems faced by the masses, collect the opinions of the masses that are inconvenient and unsatisfactory in production and life, and summarize the replicable and generalizable experiences created in practical activities. .
To observe people’s conditions, we must adhere to problem-oriented, goal-oriented, and effect-oriented, and form “three lists”. It is necessary to collect, analyze, study and judge in a timely manner through various methods such as on-the-spot visits “cha”, on-site research “cha”, and forum communication “cha”, regularly sort out the list of problems reported by the masses, study and determine the task list for serving the masses, and track the formation of tasks. The list of effects implemented, so that the things done are “in harmony” with the expectations of the masses, and the results can be “reviewed” by the masses. Respect the dominant position of the masses, insist that the masses are the masters of the masses, what to do, how to do it, and how to do it, you must ask the people for their needs, ask the people for their plans, and ask for the benefit of the people, and never do stupid things with good intentions or do stupid things. , do bad things.
The cover of the book “Xi Jinping in Zhengding” is an impressive photo: In 1983, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee of Hebei Province, put his desk on the street, directly listened to the opinions of the people, and solved problems on the spot. The mass line is the first plan among thousands of plans; it is not difficult to ask the masses for a plan. The mass line is both epistemology and methodology. From an epistemological point of view, it is to “do everything for the masses and rely on the masses for everything”, take the satisfaction of the masses as the starting point, end point and work in accordance with regulations, and rely on the masses to create great historical achievements; from a methodology perspective, it is to “come from the masses, reach “Go among the masses”, gather the opinions of the masses to form correct decisions, and then go to the masses to mobilize and organize, so as to test the effectiveness of practical activities. What do the masses expect, what do we do? Only in this way can we, through the solid development of practical activities, come up with a number of practical and tough tricks for the people, benefit the people and the people, and accomplish a number of good facts that the masses are satisfied and recognized, and let the political style community The wind is fresh and blowing, making the party’s heart and the people feel warm and blended.
