This year is the 60th anniversary of Comrade Zheng's instruction to study and promote the "Fengqiao Experience", and it is also the 20th anniversary of the General Secretary's instructions to adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao Experience". Not long ago, when visiting the Fengqiao Experience Exhibition Hall, the first general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao experience" in the new era, adhere to the party's mass line, correctly handle the contradictions among the people, closely rely on the people, and solve problems at the grassroots level and resolve them in the bud.
Over the past 60 years, it has always adhered to the leadership of the party as the backbone, the grassroots masses as the main body, the harmonious culture as the main line, and the grassroots society as the main field, that the "Fengqiao experience" has been continuously enriched and developed in vivid practice and clues, showing enduring charm and vigorous vitality. On the new journey, adhering to and developing the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era is a necessary test paper for us to build a solid foundation for good governance and gather the strength to forge ahead.
The party's leadership is the backbone. In the early 60s of the 20th century, under the leadership of the party, the cadres and masses of Fengqiao Town, Zhuji County, Zhejiang Province, created the "Fengqiao experience" of "mobilizing and relying on the masses, insisting on not turning in contradictions, resolving them on the spot, and achieving fewer arrests and good public order". After the reform and opening up, the broad masses of cadres and masses adhered to the party's leadership and innovated the "Fengqiao experience" in the new period of "small matters do not leave the village, major matters do not leave the town, and contradictions are not handed over", which provides an effective method for resolving all kinds of contradictions and disputes that affect the stability of grassroots society. Entering the new era, the cadres and masses in many places have solidly promoted the construction of grassroots party organizations, given full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party members and cadres in grassroots governance, extended the service management tentacles of party organizations to the front line of the grassroots level, and developed the "Fengqiao experience" in the new era of "no contradictions, no accidents, and no lack of services" in the inheritance and promotion, so as to provide institutional guarantee for promoting the modernization of social governance.
The grassroots masses are the main body. An important part of the "Fengqiao experience" is to do a good job in mass work. Without the wisdom and creativity of the masses, there would be no "Fengqiao experience". Over the past 60 years, the "Fengqiao Experience" has gathered a strong synergy of grassroots governance by adhering to the mass line and relying on and benefiting the grassroots masses. Relying on the masses is where the strength of the "Fengqiao Experience" lies. Party members and cadres should always put the masses in the main position of social governance, be good at finding solutions and methods to solve problems from the masses, activate the "nerve endings" of grassroots governance, and then improve the effectiveness of social governance. Benefiting the masses is the foothold of the "Fengqiao Experience". From resolving contradictions on the spot, to strengthening comprehensive social management, to promoting the equalization of basic public services, party members and cadres must firmly grasp the main task of creating a general environment for the masses to live and work in peace and contentment, better unite all groups and strata in society, and achieve a good situation of social activity and order.
Harmony culture is the main line. As the birthplace of the "Fengqiao Experience", Zhuji has a history of more than 2,000 years and has a profound cultural heritage of harmony and Confucianism. The culture of harmony embodies the concept of Chinese civilization that seeks coexistence and development in the midst of difference and diversity, and provides an effective way to coordinate the relationship between people and between people and society. For thousands of years, the culture of harmony has forged the character of the Chinese nation of advocating chivalry, paying attention to benevolence, being good at reasoning and advocating virtue. The same strong Confucian tradition of cultivation and reading has cultivated a large number of village sages, who not only dare to be the first in the world, but also have a strong sense of responsibility, dedication and cooperation. It is the organic combination of the Marxist concept of mass history and the excellent traditional Chinese culture that has given birth to the "Fengqiao Experience" with both local characteristics and universal significance, and will continue to burst out with great effectiveness in the fiery social practice.
Grassroots society is the home field. Grassroots society is not only the "source" of conflicts of interest and social contradictions, but also the "gate" for coordinating interest relations and channeling social contradictions. The 60 years of enrichment and development of the "Fengqiao Experience" has always focused on the home of the grassroots society, and injected a new connotation of the times with the changes and development of the grassroots society. For example, since the reform and opening up, the cadres and masses of Fengqiao have set up a leading group for comprehensive management at the grassroots level, attaching importance to the construction of the mass prevention and mass management team and the construction of various norms, grasping early, small, initial, and source in their work, and striving to resolve contradictions and disputes in the bud. Entering the new era, Fengqiao cadres and masses focus on the main position of urban and rural communities, strengthen the construction of various social organizations with adjustment functions, and mediation brands with local characteristics such as "Laoyang Mediation Center", "Sister Jiang Mediation" and "Hongfeng Vigilante" in Jiyang continue to emerge, and the grassroots social safety network under digital conditions is becoming denser and denser.
Embarking on a new journey, we must work hard and explore unremittingly, continue to write a new chapter of the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, consolidate the "governance of China" with "governance at the grassroots level", let the people gain more sense of gain, happiness and security, and provide stronger support for promoting Chinese-style modernization.
