Xi Jinping's Research Story Research

In March of this year, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a work plan and issued a notice to conduct investigations and studies throughout the party, as an important content of the study and implementation of Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the whole party, and promote the comprehensive construction of socialism. The modern country started well.

Investigation and research are the heirlooms of our party and the basis and way of success for generations of CPC from victory to victory.

The banks of the Hutuo River, the depths of the Taihang, the coast of the South China Sea, the snowy plateau ...... From the party branch secretary of the rural brigade to the general secretary of the Party Central Committee, Comrade Xi Jinping has never forgotten the fine traditions of the century-old party along the way, and has traveled all over the country, often among the people, setting a shining example for the whole Party's investigation and research.

The magic weapon for creating great achievements - "Investigation and research are the foundation of planning and the way to success. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, let alone decision-making power."

In May 2023, the vegetation was growing and everything was booming. General Secretary Xi Jinping set foot on the hot land of Xiong'an for the third time.

The first time I came to Xiongan was in the early spring of February 2017. The general secretary went deep into the core plot, unfolded the drawings, and investigated the planning of the new town on the spot.

For the second time, in January 2019, when we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, Xiongan was at a stage of transformation from planning as the center to construction as the center. The general secretary came to the construction sites in full swing to encourage the builders to "promote the planning and construction of xiong'an new area with high quality and high standards".

This time, General Secretary has conducted in-depth research in Xiong'an Station, Nanwenying Community in Rongdong Area, Xiong'an Intercity Station, and the construction site of the International Trade Center project, clarifying that Xiong'an New Area has entered a stage of both large-scale construction and undertaking non capital functions in Beijing.

From strategic planning, to the preparation of plans, to the promotion of construction, for more than 6 years, every important node of Xiongan construction, General Secretary Xi Jinping will always conduct field investigations in the new area, discuss the millennium plan with you, and personally promote a high-level modernization The city grows at jointing.

This approach stems from the fine traditions and style of our party.

It can be said that attaching importance to investigation and research is an important legacy of our party's leadership work in various historical periods.

He smiled and said, "I just arrived and haven't had the right to speak yet.". At that time, what I have to say.

It is said that "a new official takes office with three fires", why is this "new official" not in a hurry to "ignite the fire"?

"Only those who subjectively, one-sided, and superficially view problems, run to a place, do not ask about the environment, do not look at the whole thing, and do not touch the essence of the matter, and then arrogantly give orders. Such people are not without falling behind." I firmly remember Comrade Mao Zedong's wise saying.

Comrade Mao Zedong created the pioneer of our party's emphasis on investigation and research. He wrote the "Hunan Peasant Movement Investigation Report" and "Xunwu Investigation" through in-depth investigation and research, which had a profound impact on Comrade Xi Jinping.

In September 2020, during his inspection in Hunan, General Secretary mentioned the "Hunan Peasant Movement Inspection Report", which required cadres at all levels to closely contact the masses; In March 2022, facing a large number of middle-aged and young cadres, General Secretary talked about the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Investigation and Research" drafted by Comrade Mao Zedong in August 1941, emphasizing that "these requirements and methods still have important enlightening significance to this day.".

"There is no investigation, no right to speak" "When there is no way, go to investigate and study"... Mao Zedong and other older revolutionaries attach great importance to investigation and study and deeply practice it, affecting generations of CPC people.

In September 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on an inspection tour in Yulin, Shaanxi, walked into Haojiaqiao Village in Suide County.

Haojiaqiao Village was a model village established by the Suide Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China in the spring of 1943, after more than a month of investigation and research. 78 years have passed, and Model Village has once again been awarded the title of "Model": "National Poverty Alleviation Model".

Summing up the advanced experience, General Secretary Xi Jinping hit the point: "Investigation and research. Through real efforts, grasp first-hand information".

The style and spirit transcend time and space, and remain fresh over time.

On the morning of July 21, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Wuhan Xingang Yangluo Container Port for investigation and research.

The Huahang Hanya 2 cargo ship is docked at the Yangluo Container Terminal in Wuhan Xingang for container loading operations. Shen Jizhong

Braving pouring rain, General Secretary rolled up his pants, held an umbrella, and waded through the accumulated water while walking and asking, "Is there great potential for development in mainland ports? Are there many containers on the southeast coast?" "How can we solve the problem of investment funds?"

Two days later, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at a symposium held by some provincial and municipal leaders in Wuhan: "Investigation and research is the foundation of the plan and the way to get things done. Without investigation, there is no right to speak and no decision-making power. Research, thinking, and determining ideas and major initiatives for comprehensively deepening reform are not good for carving a boat for a sword, not for building a car behind closed doors, and even more for whimsical thinking, and comprehensive and in-depth investigation and research."

Looking back on the road we have taken, we can see more clearly that General Secretary Xi Jinping makes good use of investigation and research in governing the country, which is the working method and excellent character he has cultivated in his long-term work practice.

In Ningde, within three months of taking office, he traveled to nine counties and later to the vast majority of townships; After taking office in Zhejiang, I spent over a year traveling to 90 counties and cities throughout the province; In Shanghai, I traveled to 19 districts and counties throughout the city in just 7 months

"when the secretary of the county party committee must go to all villages, the secretary of the local party committee must go to all villages and towns, and when he is the secretary of the provincial party committee, he must go to all counties and cities." When working in the local area, relying on a "running all over", Comrade Xi Jinping mastered the grassroots and understood China.

"It takes a lot of effort to understand China. It is not enough to look at one or two places." After working in the central government, the investigation and investigation at the grass-roots level has occupied an important part of General Secretary Xi Jinping's busy schedule.

From the forests and seas of Northeast China to remote mountain towns, from urban communities to border checkpoints, General Secretary never avoids the cold and heat, tirelessly goes deep into the grassroots and the masses, listens to the truth, observes the truth, closely contacts the masses, and conducts in-depth investigations and research.

Lead by example, carry on the past and open up the future.

"Our aspirations for the New Nankai are nothing more than 'knowing China' and 'serving China'."

In January 2019, during an inspection tour in Tianjin, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Nankai University. In the school history museum, General Secretary Xi Jinping recited this passage softly, carefully pondering: "well said!"

Every in-depth research is a hands-on pursuit of knowledge. Only by continuing and carrying forward the fine tradition of investigating and studying this Communist Party member can we "understand China" deeper and "serve China" better.

The art of emphasizing methods - "We must maintain a realistic and pragmatic style, striving for depth, practicality, detail, accuracy, and efficiency."

On the afternoon of May 16, 2023, on the way to Xi'an, Shaanxi to host the China-Central Asia Summit, General Secretary Xi Jinping's special train stopped in Yuncheng, Shanxi.

Visit Yuncheng Museum and Yuncheng Salt Lake, understand the protection of cultural relics and the Yellow River Basin ecology ...... Halfway stop, walk more, take a look, the general secretary in the busy schedule "squeeze" out time to carry out investigation and research.

In the mind of General Secretary Xi Jinping, investigation and research has always been the basis for doing all kinds of work well.

A reporter who has been working in Zhejiang for a long time keeps a precious schedule. This is Comrade Xi Jinping's daily work schedule from October 12, 2002 to February 27, 2003. In the more than two months after assuming the post of secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial CPC Committee, Comrade Xi Jinping spent more than half of his working hours in municipal, county, and provincial departments, and often used weekends to conduct research in various localities and departments.

The article points out that in the research work of leaders at all levels in the province, they must maintain a realistic and pragmatic style, and strive to work hard in depth, reality, detail, accuracy, and efficiency.

Deep, practical, detailed, accurate, and effective-this is the "rule" that Comrade Xi Jinping has set for everyone's research work, and it is also a summary of his years of investigation and research experience.

"Go to the street!"

In October 1984, with the proposal of the county party committee secretary Xi Jinping, the first questionnaire survey in the history of Zhengding County, Hebei was officially launched. Xi Jinping, secretary of the county party committee, personally stood on the streets of the county to hand out questionnaires to the people.

"Public opinion survey," someone read aloud and, knowing what was going on, took the initiative to approach the secretary to talk. In no time, more and more people gathered around.

From designing questions to putting the table on the street and handing out questionnaires, Comrade Xi Jinping did it himself and with the staff of the county party committee.

Ask for the people, ask for advice from the people. More than 30 years later, the "opinion survey" went from the streets to the internet.

From April 15th to May 16th, 2022, the online solicitation of opinions on the work related to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was carried out. This is the first time in the history of our party that we have publicly solicited opinions on the work related to the National Congress of the party to the whole party and society.

In the mind of General Secretary Xi Jinping, investigation and research is "an art of method".

"Let's go talk to someone."

After more than 30 years, Li Yaping, who had worked in the Zhengding County Party Committee, still vividly remembers the sentence that Secretary Xi often said. "He is able to interact with talented people from all walks of life, which is also a way for him to conduct in-depth investigations into society," said Li Yaping.

After working in the front line of grass-roots education for 30 years, Pan Jiuren, vice principal of Tashan Yao Township Central Primary School in Changning City, Hunan Province, did not expect that one day he would be able to report to General Secretary Xi Jinping and put forward opinions and suggestions on the preparation of the 14th five-year Plan.

On September 17, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a forum of grass-roots representatives in Changsha, Hunan.

"Firstly, there is a shortage of teachers and a structural shortage of staff. Secondly, due to difficult conditions, good teachers cannot be retained..." Pan Jiuren admitted to the shortcomings in basic education in remote ethnic areas.

"The problem you reflect is very practical." The General Secretary responded.

30 grassroots representatives, including village branch secretaries, rural teachers, poverty alleviation cadres, migrant workers, grain growers, truck drivers, delivery drivers, restaurant owners, and legal workers, gathered together, and 10 representatives spoke successively.

In order to draft the "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal, from July to September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping hosted 7 symposiums like this.

In the field path, in the Jingjing campus, in the port dock, in the front line of scientific and technological research ...... General Secretary Xi Jinping used a variety of field contracts grass-roots people in-depth exchanges, listen to opinions, understand the truth.

Not only face-to-face communication with cadres and the masses, but also understanding the situation and promoting work through letters, materials, and books, it is also an important method for General Secretary Xi Jinping to carry out investigation and research.

In June 2016, Su Bai, Xie Chensheng, Huang Jinglue and Zhang Zhongpei, veteran experts in China's archaeological, cultural and cultural circles, jointly sent a letter to General Secretary Xi Jinping, saying earnestly: "We firmly believe that the Liangzhu site is a well-deserved witness of the five thousand years of Chinese civilization." They said that the early application of the Liangzhu site can "set a symbol for the five thousand years of Chinese civilization" on the international stage ".

This letter received a quick response.

In July 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued an important instruction: "The declared project should be conducive to highlighting the historical and cultural value of Chinese civilization, conducive to embodying the spiritual pursuit of the Chinese nation, and conducive to showing the world a comprehensive and true ancient China and modern China." Since then, Liangzhu's application for world heritage has entered the fast lane, and the "three benefits" have become an important follow-up of China's application for world heritage.

In Hebei, staying up late to read the annual report on the economic and social development of communes; In Fujian, when conducting research in rural areas, we specially invite county and local chronicles to light up and read at night; In Zhejiang, carefully read every grassroots research report of office officials and grasp the authentic grassroots situation; Not long after taking office in Shanghai, he asked the Municipal Party Committee Office to find relevant departments to provide him with a set of Shanghai local chronicles

Comrade Xi Jinping said: "Investigation and research is to understand the situation of a place and grasp the characteristics of a place, so that we can effectively guide work."

Huaxi Village, Zhongyi Township, Shizhu County, Chongqing City is located in a concentrated and contiguous extremely impoverished area of Wuling Mountain. The winding mountain roads, steep slopes, and deep ditches here are the "poverty in poverty" and "difficulties in poverty" that General Secretary often remembers, and they are the "hard bones" that are difficult to gnaw on during the decisive stage of poverty alleviation.

By plane, by train, by car ...... In April 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping changed to three means of transportation and traveled long distances to this small village deep in the mountains.

In just one day, from Beijing to the mountain village, all the way back and forth, with one rod inserted to the end, in order to dissect the "sparrow" of Huaxi Village and solve the prominent problem of "two worries and three guarantees".

"Dissect the sparrow, think deeply, think carefully, and think thoroughly about the problem. If there is any problem, it will be solved by whoever has the problem." The General Secretary has repeatedly stressed.

We need to dissect typical cases while also grasping the overall situation.

At the foot of Yanshan Mountain, along the coast of Bohai Sea and Taihang Mountains, spanning three provinces and cities, conducting research and planning on major strategies for coordinated development in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region; Upstream, midstream, and downstream, traveling throughout the 9 provinces and regions along the Yellow River, in order to ensure the safety of the river year after year; Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning, conduct overall research on the three eastern provinces, and sketch a picture of the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era; From Ganzhou to Nanchang, we will delve into enterprises and rural areas in Jiangxi, and include the major issue of promoting the rise of the central region in our inspection schedule

General Secretary Xi Jinping focused on major national strategies and carefully chose the route of investigation and research to make investigation and research more systematic and decision-making and deployment more scientific.

In May 2021, the land of Central Plains was in early summer.

General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on an inspection tour in Nanyang, Henan Province, got off the bus temporarily and walked into the wheat field to carefully observe the growth of the crops. Seeing the bumper harvest in sight, the general secretary was very happy: "with the bumper harvest of summer grain, the economy of the whole year will be bottomed out."

Four months later, the autumn breeze is blowing gently on the Loess Plateau.

In Gaoxigou Village, Yinzhou Street, Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, a bountiful harvest of farmland is in sight at the foot of the mountain.

"Can the crops be watered?" "Is there any interplanting of beans in the field?" "A few people in the family went out to work"... The general secretary talked with the villagers.

Temporary parking and mobile research are conducted to gain a better understanding of situations where one is constantly feeling uneasy.

Attaching importance to research, being good at research, and in-depth research, General Secretary Xi Jinping used "research to open the way" to discover problems, understand national conditions, and seek laws, and gave the whole party a vivid research method class.

The key to solving problems - "The key lies in the effectiveness of investigation and research, the application of research results, and the ability to solve problems well."

The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to achieve the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society by 2020.

Shortly after the closing of the conference, the figure of General Secretary Xi Jinping appeared in Fuping, Hebei Province, deep in the Taihang Mountains, braving the severe cold of more than ten degrees Celsius below zero.

The most arduous and arduous task of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects is in rural areas, especially in impoverished areas. This time, there is only one purpose, which is to see true poverty, assist true poverty, and truly alleviate poverty.

The destination is selected as a poverty-stricken village located over 300 kilometers away from Beijing, with an annual per capita net income of less than 1000 yuan; The villagers kept their homes as they were, without even adding a new bench;

Only by understanding the bottom line of poverty can one have a clear understanding of poverty alleviation.

Through this investigation, General Secretary Xi Jinping found the "golden key" for Fuping's industrial development, and also issued a mobilization order for poverty alleviation to the whole party and the whole country, opening the curtain of realizing the miracle of poverty alleviation of nearly 0.1 billion people.

Check the pulse and diagnose the truth, and prescribe effective solutions to solve practical problems.

The reform of collective forest tenure system has expanded from small mountain villages in Fujian to the whole country.

So, he actively researched and promoted the provision of free vocational education for children in impoverished areas, and sought fundamental solutions to solve development problems in underdeveloped areas.

Afterwards, he went to Ningxia for multiple inspections and promoted the continuous transformation and upgrading of Fujian Ningxia cooperation based on new situations

Traveling back and forth through mountains and rivers, striving to observe the truth and foster a practical work style; A journey through thorns and thorns, heading straight to the difficulties and leading the way through them.

On May 24, 2020, in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People. The Hubei delegation's deliberation at the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress was filled with warmth.

In the face of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Representative Yu Cheng from Wuhan choked up as she spoke, and she stood up from her seat and bowed deeply: "Before you come, everyone has entrusted me to say 'thank you'! Thank you to the General Secretary, to the Party Central Committee, to all the people of the country and friends from all walks of life who support Hubei and Wuhan." In the meeting hall, applause was prolonged.

This scene is due to a careful reminder from over two months ago.

In March 2020, it was the most strenuous stage of the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, and General Secretary Xi Jinping flew to Wuhan to visit hospitals and communities to investigate and research the "two key positions" in the fight against the epidemic and direct the fight against the epidemic.

In the Donghu New City community, General Secretary Xi Jinping asked in detail about the difficulties in the procurement and supply of living materials for the people in the community. He told the accompanying cadres that Wuhan people like to eat live fish and should organize more supplies when conditions permit.

Small matters concerning people's livelihood are related to the overall situation of the epidemic prevention and control.

From the supply of living materials to drug research and development and production, from grass-roots prevention and control work to the resumption of production of enterprises, only more than half a year after the outbreak of the epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping made nine field visits to guide the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development work.

Not for pretending or putting on airs, General Secretary Xi Jinping uses investigation and research to investigate the facts, make practical moves, and do practical things.

In Henan, the first mention of the "new normal" profoundly indicates the overall logic of China's current and future economic development;

In Shanxi, a prescription for reform and innovation is being developed to alleviate the pain of local industrial structure imbalance and severe ecological damage, and to pave a new path for economic transformation in resource-based areas;

Talking about breeding on the coast of the South China Sea and farming on the coast of the Bohai Sea, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of grasping Chinese seeds and stabilizing China's rice bowl during investigation and research;

……

Do not seek easy goals, do not seek refuge in things, and focus on rectification and implementation.

"The best house in the village is the school." When working in Zhengding, in order to urge all towns and villages to renovate school buildings, Comrade Xi Jinping went to the school as soon as he had time, and which classroom was dangerous and to what extent it was dangerous. Record one by one.
