**:People**.
No matter how the economy and society develop, the heart-to-heart resonance generated by face-to-face communication and zero-distance service cannot be replaced at any time.
The white clouds are rolling, and the mountains are verdant. Walking into the Huang Zhenfang Family Forest Farm in Houyang Village, Qibu Town, Zhouning County, Ningde City, Fujian Province, the lush trees spread out into a vibrant green picture. In those years, when Comrade ** was working in Ningde, he came here three times to conduct research, and on the basis of in-depth research, he creatively put forward the scientific thesis that "the forest is a reservoir, a money reservoir, and a grain reservoir". Over the years, Zhouning County has been moving forward with greenery and ushering in development changes. Huang Zhenfang's son Huang Chuanrong became rich by developing the economy under the forest, and Huang Zhenfang's grandson Huang Yubin also returned to his hometown to start a business, plunged into the forest farm, and started live broadcasting. A forest, three generations, ecological protection, relay work, this story of "turning green into gold" reflects the practical power contained in the "four grassroots".
35 years ago, in Xiapu County, Ningde City, Comrade ***, then secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Party Committee, led the leaders at the prefectural and county levels to enter the party school of the county party committee and launched a face-to-face exchange with the masses in front of a large rectangular table made of four small tables. It was also from that time that the "four grassroots" took root and passed on the torch, writing a moving story of "weak birds flying first" and dripping water through stones between the mountains and seas.
Propaganda the party's line, principles, and policies at the grassroots level, and the "theoretical propaganda light cavalry" went up the mountains and down to the sea, spreading the party's voice with the local voice, and letting the party's voice enter the hearts of the people; Under the investigation and study of the grassroots level, groups of cadres went out of the organs, turned "foot strength" into "ability", and asked the people what they needed and what they wanted; Letters and visits are received at the grassroots level, and visits are "set up stalls" in markets and squares again and again to solve urgent and difficult problems for the masses; Under the on-site office, one by one, the work team is stationed in the enterprise, and the industrial development is leveraged through the front serviceToday, in the land of Fujian, the "four grassroots units" urge the majority of party members and cadres to look downward and step downward, which not only broadens the road of development, but also builds a bridge between the hearts.
Over the past 35 years, the "four grassroots units" have been continuously carried forward and become an important starting point for improving governance capabilities. The changes in the Qixing Sea area in Xinan Town, Xiapu County, Fujian Province are a vivid case of party members and cadres using the "four grassroots" work method to promote high-quality development. A few years ago, the aquaculture methods in this area were extensive, the fishing rafts were disorganized, and the sea drifting garbage was everywhere. Party members and cadres of Xiapu County went to the island and village in a timely manner, entered the household, and promoted the comprehensive improvement of marine aquaculture to achieve practical results with sea research, policy propaganda and on-site office. Today, a series of new plastic fishing rafts spread out on the sparkling sea, and the red-roofed and white-walled sea dwellings are spectacular. The environment has improved and the equipment has been upgraded, but it is still inconvenient for fishermen to live at sea. What to do? Xiapu County explores the establishment of a "maritime community" and organizes party members and cadres to sink to the front line to serve the masses. Today's Seven Star Maritime Community, Party and Mass Service Center, Volunteer Service Station, Marine Comprehensive Management Center, etc., are readily available, and fishermen can enjoy various services without leaving the fishing raft. Practice has proved that by standing firmly on the people's position, adhering to systematic thinking, taking investigation and research as an important path, and solving difficult problems as the key orientation, we can continuously enhance the pertinence, scientificity, and effectiveness of grassroots governance.
At that time, eastern Fujian, known as "the old, the young, the border, the island, and the poor", had high mountains and long roads, and it was time-consuming and laborious for the masses to do things and report problems. The birth of the "four grassroots units" is precisely for the sake of the masses. Today, why do we still advocate "four grassroots units"? No matter how the economy and society develop, the heart-to-heart resonance generated by face-to-face communication and zero-distance service cannot be replaced at any time. The sincere feelings for the people, the pragmatic style, and the responsibility of hard work will not be outdated at any time. Only by constantly innovating the way of "four grassroots" and deepening the connotation of "four grassroots" can we better practice the purpose of the party and never forget the original intention of serving the people.
During the interview in the Seven Star Sea Community, it coincided with the Xiapu County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision to carry out the "Heart-to-Heart Day" activity. At sunset, the staff sorted out and archived the collected opinions and suggestions for bringing back to the shore for research and implementation. Under the "four grassroots" is the grassroots, and what is reached is the people's heart. Only by inheriting the fine style of "going down to the grassroots" and doing a good job of solving people's worries and benefiting the people's livelihood one by one, can we live up to the heavy expectations of the masses.
