"Four grassroots" (propaganda of the party's line, principles, policies under the grassroots, investigation and research under the grassroots, letters and visits under the grassroots, on-site office under the grassroots) is the general secretary vigorously advocated and the formation of the work methods and work system, since 1988 proposed, after 35 years, a group of party members and cadres in the practice of the "four grassroots" in the contact with the masses, service to the masses, for the benefit of the masses, "the people" has always been the "four grassroots" unchanged background.

A fine tradition that has been practiced for 35 years is still fresh in the land of Fujian.
In the coastal Xiapu County, a group of science and technology correspondents went to the grassroots level to move their work points to the sea to provide zero-distance technical support for farmers; In Fuding City, where the mountains are continuous, a group of cadres measure the tea garden with their footsteps, and the Fuding white tea that has grown and grown through research has become a business card of Chinese tea culture
In June 1988, when the general secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Party Committee of Fujian Province first took office, he started the following grassroots research and started the research trip to the nine counties in eastern Fujian. In the article "How the Weak Bird Flies First - Investigation and Feelings in Nine Counties of Eastern Fujian", ** wrote:
Everyone investigated, pondered, and studied while walking, and their thoughts were always focused on one question: under the situation of developing the commodity production economy of "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds can fly", can the "weak bird" in eastern Fujian fly first, and how to fly first?
He also stressed that local poverty and the concept cannot be "poor". * It also took the lead in Ningde to carry out the reception of letters and visits at the grassroots level, and went to the grassroots to work on the spot, and publicized the party's line, principles and policies throughout the grassroots level.
"Four grassroots" (propaganda of the party's line, principles, policies under the grassroots, investigation and research under the grassroots, letters and visits under the grassroots, on-site office under the grassroots) is the general secretary vigorously advocated and the formation of the work methods and work system, since 1988 proposed, after 35 years, a group of party members and cadres in the practice of the "four grassroots" in the contact with the masses, service to the masses, for the benefit of the masses, "the people" has always been the "four grassroots" unchanged background. Today, this working mechanism and work system, which originated in Ningde and flourished in Fujian, has gradually been promoted to the whole country and has become an important starting point for the second batch of theme education.
The needs of the masses are not visible from sitting in the office.
Many young cadres in Ningde are familiar with this passage: "Instead of the masses trekking through mountains and rivers, it is better for our cadres to go directly to visit, and a few cadres to go down is better than so many people coming up." ”
On December 20, 1988, the first visit reception day of the leaders of Ningde was held at the Party School of the Xiapu County Committee of the Communist Party of China. At that time, Ningde was one of the 18 concentrated contiguous poverty-stricken areas in the country, and 6 of the 9 counties under its jurisdiction were poverty-stricken counties, ranking first in the province in terms of the number of letters and visits. On this reception day, which was opened for the first time, 102 people walked into the interview room, sat down, and had face-to-face conversations with local and county leaders. Among them was Shu Suiying, who was working for the Xiapu County Bus Company at the time, who reported that a unit built a house near her house by the river, causing the river to silt up.
According to later statistics, a total of 86 questions were accepted on the day of reception, of which 12 were answered and resolved in person, and the rest were dealt with within one month. This kind of visits by leading cadres to the grass-roots level was later extended to the work method and work system of "going down to the grass-roots level."
What the masses want, we can't see in the office. Liu Duanbin, director of the Party and Mass Service Center of She Township, Kipmen Township, Fuding City, Ningde, sat in the office and also served as the first secretary of the village. In the "Four Grassroots" theme interview activities, he told the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network that in the office, you will often see a lot of materials, which are reported by the department, including project approval, land consolidation, etc., "All are words, but if you don't go down to the grassroots level, you don't know the specific situation."
This post-85 cadre remembers that during a survey in 2019, the villagers said "potatoes" in dialect, which was actually peanuts. It is precisely because of the grassroots level that Liu Duanbin is more and more aware of the whole process of project approval and project implementation, "It is not that a few departments circulate and the matter seems to be done, but it needs to be approved on the spot, sorted out relevant items, and solved problems on the spot."
Also in eastern Mindong, Zheng Guidong, deputy secretary of the Gutian County Party Committee of Ningde, has experienced the difficulty of promoting the photovoltaic mushroom shed project. **The general secretary has successively "seven into Gutian" research, for the local pointed out a vigorous development of the edible fungus industry to the agricultural road. The cultivation of edible mushrooms, which brings hope to mushroom farmers out of poverty, is also facing new "troubles" in more than 20 years of development. Li Mingfang, a villager in Shanyang Town, who has been growing mushrooms for more than 20 years, recalled that in the past, the cultivation of grass sheds was labor-intensive, inconvenient to use water and electricity, and there were also potential safety hazards such as burning (fungus) sticks.
This is also the situation investigated by the county cadres at that time, from the perspective of planting mode, the traditional grass shed planting only has the income of mushroom farmers, and the income is single and the benefit is not high. In addition, many mushroom sheds are built in the field, and to a certain extent, there is also a contradiction between mushroom and food.
The problems found in these surveys have promoted the implementation of the first batch of photovoltaic mushroom shed pilot projects. By 2022, when Zheng Guidong took over the second phase of the project, how to convince farmers was still a difficult problem for county cadres. "Many farmers are Xi to the traditional planting mode and environment, and they have to change the place and change the model, not to mention spending more money, and they are worried that the planting is not guaranteed. Zheng Guidong then tried to find ways to provide policies and supporting services, including giving farmers preferential rents for photovoltaic mushroom sheds, providing free insurance in the first year, and supporting some financial services and technical guarantees for farmers. "We also have an on-site office in the field to answer farmers' concerns anytime, anywhere. ”
Zheng Guidong introduced that after the farmers had the willingness to upgrade the fungus shed, the county began to study and formulate specific design plans, and specially invited the old farmers in the village to discuss the plan together. He said.
Today, the 8 photovoltaic mushroom shed bases born from the survey have taken root in Gutian County, 3700 million yuan invested in the construction of 450 edible mushroom standardized production sheds, with an annual power generation income of 13.5 million yuan and an annual rental income of 2 million yuan. In addition, it is expected to achieve other operating income and carbon sink income of 3.3 million yuan per year, with a total annual income of 18.8 million yuan.
Proceed from reality and recite the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the new era
From being trapped in the mountains and being poor to being among the top 100 cities in China, a set of data shows the transformation of Ningde: in 2021, Ningde's GDP exceeded 300 billion yuan, an increase of 57.4 billion yuan over 2020, the largest annual increase in the history of eastern Fujian, and the total economic output jumped from the eighth to the fifth place in the province. From January to September 2023, the city's industrial added value above the designated size increased by 214%。Among them, the added value of the four leading industries of lithium battery new energy, new energy vehicles, stainless steel new materials, and copper materials increased by 284%, driving the city's industrial growth of 231 percentage point.
How did Ningde transform from a "first-class fault zone" on the southeast coast to a "first-class growth point"? A consensus is to "proceed from reality and seek truth from facts," which is also the ideological method implicit in the "four grassroots units."
One of the practical issues that enterprises are concerned about is the problem of matching. Lei Biaohua, chief engineer of Ningde Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, told reporters that a supporting industry chain is a supporting system, including the introduction of upstream and downstream enterprises related to enterprises; Another kind of supporting facilities are food, housing and other living facilities, as well as producer service industry facilities.
In particular, he mentioned that when enterprises grow from small to large, and related industrial clusters are cultivated and expanded, the supporting facilities for producer services will gradually increase, "such as legal consulting, R&D and design, modern logistics, financial services, etc., will gradually increase, which also puts forward some requirements for our work." Lei Biaohua in recent years to the implementation of the special class service as an example, the service work in accordance with the "one industry, one work class, a development plan, a set of investment policy" requirements to promote, the composition of the class members not only from the industry and information technology, development and reform and other comprehensive departments, but also including the ecological environment, natural resources, finance and other elements of the security department, "will be based on the problems encountered in the construction process of the enterprise project, specially coordinated with relevant departments, included in the list, planned in advance, timely guarantee." ”
In October this year, Qiu Wenchun, deputy chief of the equipment section of the Ningde Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, began to settle in CATL, a leading new energy company, and he was the new resident commissioner sent to CATL by the Ningde Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology. In the next period of time, he will be responsible for the collection of demand information of the enterprise, sort out and classify the problems, and report to the special team to promote the relevant departments to participate in the solution of the problem.
Not long after serving as the resident commissioner, Qiu Wenchun was also "crossing the river by feeling the stones" according to the actual situation. He said that Ningde lithium new energy industry is a national advanced manufacturing cluster, whether it is for the first class, or for the entire industry, many problems encountered have no reference experience, "so we are also following the enterprise to explore solutions."
With the upgrading of the industry, the first-class service is also upgrading, but what has not changed is that cadres at all levels "go to the front line". This summer, the governor of Fujian Province stressed at the symposium on "Reading the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' in the New Era to Promote Regional Coordinated Development" that it is necessary to vigorously investigate and study, find out the situation clearly, put out the problems, sum up the experience well, and earnestly transform the research results into policy measures.
We do professional and technical services, we have to go to the front line to provide aquatic technical services for farmers, otherwise the work can not be promoted. Huang Qiang, who has experienced the upgrading of the local aquaculture industry, is the deputy director of the Xiapu County Marine Fishery Development Center in Ningde City, Fujian Province, and his other identity is better known to local farmers: the head of the Xiapu County Science and Technology Commissioner's Marine Workstation.
The offshore workstation, which was established in 2021 in the local Qixing Fishing Platoon in Xinan Town, now has 12 people. "Go to the front line" is the daily routine of this group of science and technology correspondents. In Huang Qiang's words, "the commissioners either check on aquaculture problems in fishing rafts or follow the seedling process at nursery companies".
Xiapu County, where the offshore workstation is located, is also one of the ten key fishery counties in Fujian Province, and is the largest in the province890,000 square kilometers). 11 of the county's 15 townships (sub-districts) are coastal, with a fishing population of 260,000, accounting for 64% of the county's agricultural population. Xiapu is more famous for its titles of "Hometown of Chinese Kelp", "Hometown of Chinese Seaweed", "Hometown of Sea Cucumber in Southern China" and "Hometown of Ecological Yellow Croaker in China". Every December, Huang Qiang's key patrol targets are sea cucumbers, kelp and seaweed.
According to the local industrial development situation and the expertise of the science and technology correspondents, the offshore workstation is divided into three working groups: large yellow croaker, sea cucumber, shrimp, crab, shellfish and algae, and the science and technology correspondents can provide technical services and disease prevention and control guarantees in a targeted manner. Huang Qiang told reporters that in recent years, with the increasing volume of sea cucumber breeding, farmers may not be able to achieve the ideal doubling of output based on past experience, "which requires scientific and technological personnel to provide corresponding marine green aquaculture services, including fishery disease detection, disease forecasting, fishery disease sitting and patrolling."
It is understood that Ningde City has built 1 municipal-level marine green aquaculture service center and 4 county-level marine green aquaculture service stations, 3 township-level marine green aquaculture service departments, and 6 village-level marine green aquaculture service points, one of which is located in Xinan Town, Xiapu County, Qixing Fishing Row. The management system of the service point stipulates that the patrol service is carried out every half a month from May to October every year according to the principle of "regular + on-demand"; From November to April of the following year, it will be carried out once a month, and the frequency of inspections will be increased according to the epidemic of the disease or the actual needs of fishermen.
Doing things for a business is not about asking for trouble.
Listen to appeals, solve problems, do practical things, from "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and sing mountain songs", developing forest, tea, and fruit industries, to "relying on the sea to eat the sea and recite the sea classics", promote the transfer of offshore aquaculture in the bay to the deep-sea aquaculture outside the bay, accelerate the improvement of the whole industrial chain of marine aquatic products from seedlings, breeding to processing, brand, and market, and inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of "four grassroots", which has developed from Ningde to many places in Fujian and to the whole country.
There are no backward industries, only backward products. Cai Meisheng, director of the Standing Committee of the Fuding Municipal People's Congress and executive deputy head of the tea industry development leading group, remembers that in 2004, the development of Fuding white tea was sluggish and once came to a crossroads. At that time, Cai Meisheng, who was the deputy mayor of Fuding City, was in charge of agriculture, and he and other leading cadres took relevant personnel in the enterprise to Anxi, Anji and other places for research, and repeatedly consulted industry experts. In the end, the opinion of a tea expert persuaded everyone, "In the 80s of the 20th century, Fuding white tea was awarded the title of 'National Famous Tea' three times. ”
A series of measures to support the development of Fuding's white tea industry were subsequently promoted, including the registration of relevant brand names, the protection of the mother tree, and the excavation of the Taimu culture, the ancestor of white tea. By 2018, the 11-year-old Tea Industry Development Leading Group in Fuding was renamed the "Tea Industry Development Leading Group", with 5 special classes and 1 inspection team, and 4 task forces. According to the 17 townships and towns of Fuding City, the team goes to the grassroots, farmers and enterprises every month to understand and grasp the first-hand information on industrial development. The group also set up a bimonthly dialogue system with enterprises, held exchange meetings, worked on site, listened to the demands of enterprises to help enterprises solve problems. Up to now, the group has held 25 bi-monthly analysis meetings of tea enterprises and collected more than 10 key issues.
Industrial development enterprises are the main force, and solving the difficulties of enterprises is the core problem. Cai Meisheng introduced that since the beginning of this year, I have learned that enterprises are currently facing some new difficulties: such as the rectification of excessive packaging, the overall recovery of the tea city market, the difficulty of land use for enterprises, the infringement of public brands, and the lack of public warehousing. After the enterprise reflects the problem, if the group leader cannot solve it on the spot, a special meeting of the municipal party committee or the standing committee of the municipal party committee will be held to study it.
In Cai Meisheng's view, inheriting and carrying forward the fine tradition of "four grassroots", one of the most important points is to go to the grassroots to understand the public opinion, and to understand the real situation after listening to the public opinion. In particular, he mentioned the importance of "going down" and being effective, "(cadres) go to the grassroots level not to go to the scene and listen to what they say, but to do it, and the effectiveness of going down to the grassroots level also depends on whether the enterprises recognize it and whether the masses recognize it."
The four grassroots units are "based on" and rooted in "people". How to "down" and promising, "down" and effective, enterprises in Jinjiang City can always feel the efficiency and reality of the best work. Liu Qingxian, general manager of the comprehensive management of the administrative department of Hengan Group, remembers that the earliest environmental impact assessment project enterprises involved in papermaking should be reported to the provincial environmental protection department for approval, and by 2014, the approval authority has been delegated to the Quanzhou Environmental Protection Bureau. Liu Qingxian believes that the gradual decentralization of approval authority will streamline the approval process to a certain extent and accelerate the promotion of enterprise projects. "* Seize time and win speed for the enterprise, which also reflects the concern for the overall development of the industry at the first level. ”
Having dealt with grassroots cadres in Jinjiang for many years, Liu Qingxian found that this group of post-80s and post-90s generations is reliable and has a strong sense of responsibility, "they can not only help enterprises do macro control in the general direction, but also be grounded in the interaction between government and enterprises, and understand the actual difficulties of enterprises."
This has also directly spawned more government-enterprise interaction. In 2021, the country's first private enterprise compliance construction service alliance was established in Jinjiang, led by 23 units, including the Jinjiang Municipal People's Procuratorate, the Jinjiang Municipal People's Court, the Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Municipal Taxation Bureau. A number of enterprises took the initiative to make appointments to participate in the compliance "physical examination" of system management loopholes and legal risks that were carried out free of charge for enterprises.
To participate in the physical examination, it is necessary to move the things within the enterprise to the front of the stage for multiple departments to do the overall examination, just like the physical examination of people. Xu Wenmo, vice president of Hengan Group, said frankly that an enterprise has developed for many years, more or less there will be some problems, and the service alliance provides financial management, job integrity, intellectual property rights, import and export, product quality, safety production and tax compliance, financing specifications and other physical examination items, which can help enterprises to view the existing risks and loopholes, and go further and more stable, "This is to help enterprises do things, not to find trouble with enterprises." Today, the service alliance has provided offline compliance physical examination services for 11 companies, including Panpan, 361°, Xtep, and Hengan, and put forward relevant suggestions.
From eastern Fujian, where there are mountains and seas, to the land of Fujian, where a new chapter of high-quality development is written, the historical echo of the "four grassroots units" is always enlightening reality.
Liu Duanbin, 36 years old this year, told reporters that he has been stationed in Baiyang Village, She Township, Kipmen Township, Fuding City for three and a half years, and he has moved more than a dozen times, but it is precisely because he lives in the camp of local nuclear power industry workers that he can hear the inner words of nuclear power workers, "Nuclear power workers always say that they are outsiders and drifters, and they will go to support the overhaul of the nuclear power plant, but in Ningde and Kipmen, they feel a sense of belonging."
Let the nuclear power workers feel the warmth of the town's popularity and life, thanks to the richness of the village's industrial formats and the improvement of supporting services, which is also the goal that Liu Duanbin wanted to achieve when he was stationed in the village in 2018. Nowadays, Baiyang Village has a series of small western-style buildings, parks, nursing homes, and cultural activity centers, "at night, there are 3 teams of square dancers in the square." He was happiest when a nuclear power worker told him that if two nuclear power plants were to be overhauled at the same time, "we would prefer to come here, even if the bid from that place was higher."
