Several ＂Strange Images＂ in Investigation

Investigation and research is the foundation of seeking things, the way to accomplish things, and an important heirloom of our party. However, in some places at the grassroots level, the formalism problem in the investigation has existed for a long time and needs to be paid attention to.

Set out for a car, a meeting room, a speech and a manuscript.

-avoid "formalism on tiptoe"

In some places, it was reported that individual leaders were ill-prepared and careless before investigation and study. As for "where to go?" Investigate what? How to investigate? " I don’t have a bottom in my mind. Not only can I not travel lightly, but I also roam around, which leads to a cluster of grassroots research and increases the burden on the grassroots. The masses call it "formalism on tiptoe".

Leading cadres push the door open and take their legs apart, which is certainly worth promoting. However, if you just sit in the car and ask people’s feelings and look at the grassroots through the window, you will only be satisfied with turning around, listening and taking a look, without bringing questions and rushing to solve problems … So watching the fire from the other side can only be reduced to formalism with the word "virtual" as the head and the word "empty" as the head. Even if you "body" into the grassroots every day, you can only grasp the empty hands, empty your mind and hang up your problems.

What is even more puzzling is that "formalism on tiptoe" seems to be a "real work" at the grass-roots level and at the front line, but it is actually a "new wine in old bottles" of formalism:

-Go without questions and treat the "scene" of investigation as a "show". Under the banner of research, a gust of wind came and went, leaving a car, having a meeting all over the room, speaking and reading manuscripts, with hands off the mud and feet off the ground. It seems to be vigorous, but in fact, a cursory look and reading will only increase the trouble at the grassroots level.

-there is no way to get back, neither "investigation" nor "research". Take the "planning route", look at the "recreating bonsai", and listen to the highlights without touching the pain points. In the end, no live fish was caught, and holding a pile of empty materials could neither "suit the symptoms" nor "prescribe the medicine".

Formalism is the enemy of our party and the people. It erected a "wall" between the party and the masses, eroding the credibility of the party and the government and consuming the masses.

Whether the research work is true or not directly determines the quality of decision-making and relates to the effectiveness of economic and social development. Therefore, the harm of "toe hurricane" should not be underestimated, and we must take a clear-cut stand against it and take effective measures to rectify it.

Stopping the "tiptoe hurricane" is a "deep" word. Going deep into the grassroots, we must sink down, take a step, put down our airs, be more pompous and less crowded. With the attitude of "dissecting sparrows" and the spirit of "crouching down to see ants", we plunged into places with many difficulties, complicated situations and sharp contradictions, moved the "table" to the masses, listened to the truth, explored the truth and dug up the crux of the problem.

The key to stopping the "toe abuse" lies in the word "real". Not only is the style practical, but also practical. When you find a problem, you must rush to solve it. If it can be solved, it will be solved on the spot, and if it is not easy to solve, it will be solved as soon as possible. Especially for urgent difficulties and worries, we should hold on to them and focus on solving problems.

Stop the "toe abuse" and pay attention to the word "effect". The success of the research does not depend on the scale, frequency and summary, but on the effectiveness. Everything should proceed from reality, improve the scientific understanding, the pertinence of decision-making and the effectiveness of work.

Investigation and research is like a bridge, connected with true knowledge and action, and also connected with the party’s heart and people’s hearts. It is not only a working method, but also a big issue related to the success or failure of the cause of the party and the people. Standing on the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, we should make good use of this family heirloom, avoid "formalism on tiptoe", really move and sink, take the quasi-social pulse in problems, understand the law of development in solving problems, create achievements that can stand the test of practice, people and history, and answer the answers of the new era with heart and emotion.

Too busy with "key to key" to "face to face"

-avoid "formalism at the fingertips"

The development of digital technology has accelerated the pace of government affairs, which should have been a good thing to simplify grass-roots work. However, dozens of government apps on a mobile phone have changed the "convenience at the fingertips". Since 2020, some "zombie groups" have been disbanded, and some apps have been offline, which has reduced the burden for the grassroots. Recently, however, the "fingertip burden" has risen again and spread:　　

—— There are too many government apps, and you have to log in to your mobile phone one by one. An APP for emergency, an APP for environmental protection, an APP for people’s society, and an APP for civil affairs. Each department has an APP, and at most dozens of them should be downloaded; Punching in, ranking points, taking photos and forwarding, etc., overwhelmed the cadres and trapped them at their fingertips.　　

—— Some apps excessively pursue "leaving traces" and alienate them into "assessment tools" for holding grassroots cadres. In order to avoid naming and criticizing, grassroots cadres have to hold their mobile phones and turn around full-screen apps. People are overstaffed and their minds are all taking pictures. "I was still filling out a form when I went to the toilet." Many people are miserable about this.　　

Some cadres reported: "The APP has been brushed all over, but the problem has not been solved." "It is a mere formality and trapped at the fingertips."　

"Formalism at the fingertip" is in the form of "fingertip" but rooted in "head". The original intention of "government affairs on the cloud" was to simplify the workflow and improve the efficiency, so that grassroots cadres could have more time and energy to do practical things for the people. However, in some places, the frequency and performance of grassroots cadres’ activities on the government APP are simply taken as a yardstick, focusing on "fingertip kung fu", which makes grassroots work deviate from the focus and spends a lot of time and energy at the fingertips, resulting in the majority of grassroots cadres being exhausted and exhausted.　　

Just because the photos are posted doesn’t mean things are done. The slogan has been forwarded, which does not mean that the work is in place. The "fancy" innovation of "only flowering without fruit" and the face of self-entertainment do not mean that the problem is solved and the people are satisfied. On the contrary, when cadres hold their mobile phones all day, they are busy with "key to key", regardless of "face to face" and turn around "finger assessment" instead of turning around the people, the result is bound to be close to utilitarianism, far from people’s concern, close to formalism and far from getting down to work.　　

The government APP should not be a tight grip on cadres. No matter how lively the "flower work" is, it can’t compare with the solid implementation of a matter on the minds of the people. No matter how glamorous the "show" is, it can’t erase the contradictions and problems that are urgent and anxious. "Formalism at the fingertips" will not only hinder the principles and policies from going deeper and deeper, but also erode the operational efficiency and competitiveness of economic and social development. It will also stifle the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of grassroots cadres and officers and damage the feelings of the party and the masses.　　　

To stop the "fingertip unhealthy trend", we must correct the concept of political achievements and keep in mind the starting point of "satisfying the masses". Grass-roots work, if it is ineffective, the process will be lively and the masses will not buy it. Cadres in communist party must seek truth from facts, work hard, always put people’s promises, dissatisfaction, happiness and unhappiness in the first place, speak with actions, do practical things in the hearts of the people, and effectively improve people’s satisfaction, sense of gain and sense of security.

On the occasion of Daxing’s investigation and research, we must make great efforts to rectify the "formalism at the fingertips" and merge the government affairs apps, so that the "fingertip affairs" can be streamlined and streamlined, so that cadres can be freed from their mobile phones, open their doors and open their legs, and go to the masses and the scene to solve practical problems.

The truth "shrinks", opinions "dive" and data "water injection"

-Prevent "formalism on the tip of a pen"

In the interview and investigation, some grassroots cadres reminded us to pay more attention to "formalism on the pen tip".　　

In recent years, the written report has become more and more "rolled". Many materials are brilliant, the data cases are comprehensive and detailed, and the packaging forms are colorful. However, if you look closely, you will find that some manuscripts talk about achievements, and they are not understated; Some tell only half the truth and let the masses "dive"; Some even do not hesitate to "water" the data and "paste gold" on their faces. Other units, in order to avoid responsibility, engage in layers of approval, complicate simple issues, implement documents with documents, and implement meetings at meetings, and pick themselves up completely when problems arise. The formalism pattern on the pen tip is constantly being refurbished, which causes more and more interference to the work.　　

The "counterfeiting" of the pen tip has been repeatedly banned. In the final analysis, it is because formalism and bureaucracy are deeply rooted. Some people’s outlook on political achievements is still sick. Spend a lot of time writing summaries, planning and calculating data. If you just want to "paint powder", instead of looking in the mirror, dressing your clothes, taking a bath and treating diseases, it is easy to distort your thoughts.　　

Building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is an unprecedented great cause, and there are many new, complex and special contradictions and problems, which put forward higher requirements for the ability of cadres and officials to start businesses. If bureaucracy and formalism are allowed to run rampant, our judgment of risks may be inaccurate, our thinking on strategies may not be deep, we may be insensitive to the opinions of the masses, and it will be difficult to accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, and take the initiative to change.　　

Try to avoid formalism on the tip of the pen and cure "lazy political thinking". Some cadres lack the spirit of seeking truth from facts, don’t think deeply about their work, and ignore the actual situation. In order to complete the materials, they copy and paste, and make a patchwork. This material has a "table top" but can’t get off the street. It is a waste of time. There are still some cadres who do not use the old methods in their work, do not use the new methods, dare not use the hard methods, and can only use the "pen tip" to cope. Some copied the documents of other departments and forgot to modify the time. Some year-end debriefing is exactly the same as other units, and some civilized slogans have not even changed the place names, which is ironic.　　

Fear and unwillingness to tell the truth is also one of the reasons for formalism on the nib. Reform has entered the deep water area, and some problems have touched on stronger barriers of interest. Some cadres are also very clear about the deep-seated contradictions in their areas of responsibility, and they can still talk about it, but the risk of writing in black and white is too great. It is not as good as hello, I am good, everyone is good, and the real problem is "buried underwater" and the fake data is "braving the wind and waves". Some cadres don’t take responsibility and do nothing. They hand over their work and troublesome problems to the materials, submit them for approval layer by layer, and throw the pot step by step. If there is a problem, it is the above thing. When the "board" comes, the people below will be punished, and they will protect themselves and be immune to it.　　

If the "counterfeiting" of the pen tip becomes a trend and becomes a turbulent flow, it will inevitably lead to poor work and lax work style, which may further damage the implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, erode the motivation and enthusiasm of the whole society, and even affect the process of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.　　

Work is done, not written; Performance is done, not said. We should vigorously advocate telling the truth, doing practical things, thinking about practical actions, paying attention to practical results, and trying to avoid "counterfeiting" of the pen tip and putting an end to boasting.

Dozens of research tasks are pressed to "a pen"!

-Can "step-by-step investigation" become "step-by-step materials"

Investigation and research is a fine tradition and style of our party and a family heirloom of the party. After the promulgation of "Work Plan on Investigation and Research in the Whole Party", the reporter recently found that various localities and departments are carrying out investigation and research, and many leading cadres have changed their work style, taken the lead in going deep into the grassroots, studied new problems and solved new contradictions, and made gratifying new changes.

However, the author also found that in some places, there are some bad tendencies, and the process of decomposing tasks into "layers of overweight" and "layers of important materials". There is a grass-roots department that has to undertake dozens of research tasks, which has caused a few units to "pen".

In the interview, the author found that there are three manifestations in investigating the signs of alienation:

First, some grassroots cadres "received dozens of research tasks a month", and "step-by-step research" was alienated into "step-by-step materials".

A deputy of a unit in a city poured out bitter water to the author. "At least one or two similar tasks are received every day, and the relevant red-headed documents are smashed." In the past month, he has received dozens of tasks related to investigation and research, some to provide research reports, some to provide written materials, and some to provide relevant materials.

There are three sources for these research tasks:

First, the subject investigation of the superior leaders of this system. The higher-level departments and offices that undertake specific tasks will issue a notice to them, and the lower-level departments and leaders will receive similar topic research or decomposition tasks.

Second, thematic research from local leaders. Tasks will also be broken down to relevant departments.

3. Research undertaken by departments at the same level. A propaganda system cadre said that the research undertaken by the brother departments in the fields of ruling the city according to law, cooperation between departments and schools, traffic safety, etc., as long as they can be related to propaganda, will let them provide materials.

Some cadres admit that leading cadres have many general affairs, meetings and activities, and some cadres have received tasks, but they have no time to investigate, so they can only "decompose and outsource" the tasks through "arrangement, layout and audit". And this "material collection and integration" is the "most efficient" way, and step by step research has become "important materials at different levels".

Second, many research tasks are mostly on the heads of a few "pens" at the grassroots level.

There are many departments at the grassroots level, and some are "one-person rooms" with only section chiefs and no staff members. Most of the research tasks received by the leaders fall on the head of the "pen" section chief. In order to complete these "exclusive tasks" with reversed construction period, on the one hand, they sent a notice to the lower departments to advance the task time and ask for "supporting materials" as soon as possible, on the other hand, they could only "5+2" and "white plus black" by working overtime. A section chief said that many research tasks eventually became "pots" for a few "pens". Due to the limited energy, except for the tasks of the main leaders, other research materials have to be "degraded" to cope with the job.

Third, those who do not write materials for research are not qualified for research.

When the leader of a certain place led the responsible comrades of relevant departments to finish the investigation, held a meeting to discuss and arrange the task of writing the report, he said helplessly: "Don’t arrange it, everyone here doesn’t write materials, and the people who write materials are those who didn’t go."

Respondents generally said that these signs of alienation, such as "material circulation", "investigation and rejection" and "seeking quantity instead of quality", deviated from the original intention of investigation and research, and it was difficult to play its due role, which was a new formalism divorced from the masses.

The effectiveness of investigation and research can not be achieved without the hands-on efforts of leading cadres. Only through in-depth investigation and research in person, can we directly and truly feel and understand social conditions and public opinion, and we can close the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people; Only by mastering the first-hand research materials with your own hands, using your brains to study and think, and comprehensively analyzing, can you find the ideas and countermeasures to solve the problem.

We should pay attention to these phenomena in grass-roots investigation and research.
