Chapter 9 postscript

The protagonist of this article, Liang Yurun, was appointed as the deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Letters and Calls Bureau. difficult" problem.Due to the space limit of the article, the author cannot describe them one by one.But during the interview days, wherever I went, what impressed me the most was the high prestige of Comrade Liang Yurun among the common people, which made me always admire and be moved. Beijing. On October 10, when the author was talking with Liang Yurun, someone came to report to him in a hurry: several people from Shanxi made trouble at the gate of the office of the central government, and no one could persuade him. "Then I'll go." Liang Yurun didn't even bother to say hello to me, and got up and left.

More than an hour later, he came back dripping with sweat. "I'm sorry..." Liang Yurun apologized to me while wiping off his sweat, "I sent some petitioners to the train back to Taiyuan just now, and I wasted your time." I was always nervous about the sudden incident. Nervous, I smiled relaxedly: "What on earth do you have? What the police and others can't solve, you can solve it so smoothly as soon as you go?" Liang Yurun showed a gratified smile on his face: "Because I You can talk to the masses." "How can you talk?" "Of course, first of all, you have to have a common language with them, and you have to have skills in speaking, so that they can listen to you, feel that you have no airs, and you are on an equal footing with them, and you must Treat problems fairly and fairly, think about their problems and opinions from their perspective, and dare to make judgments, take responsibility, and put forward ideas and suggestions for solving problems. Treat the masses with the same attitude..." Liang Yurun said it very casually, but after listening to it carefully, I was very impressed.So there are also the following conversations between the author and him-"In real life, many of our cadres just can't do what you said." I said. "It's mainly a matter of feelings. See if he has basic feelings for the common people, especially those who are vulnerable. Without basic feelings for the common people, you won't feel that other people's affairs are so important and urgent, so you just I won’t deal with it seriously and responsibly.” Liang Yurun said that every time he saw ordinary people coming to him, especially when they saw them crying and kneeling down to beg him, he would feel worried.

"A person's whole life and a family for decades, who can guarantee that there will be no ups and downs? Even if you have power and power today, you can't guarantee a smooth life, not to mention that you have offspring, relatives and friends, and they won't make any mistakes. Problem? Thinking about this, we will treat those who have difficulties and need help with a better attitude, work harder, or have a better attitude and make things more detailed. It doesn't have to take so long..." "Civil servants don't do real things, and cadres don't think about the masses. They are afraid of trouble and trouble. This is a common phenomenon in our current society, and it is also the main reason for social disharmony and tension between cadres and the masses in some places. " Liang Yurun said with deep understanding, some things, if you discover and deal with them early, there will be no contradictions and conflicts.You procrastinate, don't deal with it, are insensitive, even say some ugly words, and do things that hurt people's feelings. It's no wonder that the masses are not in opposition!A small problem becomes a big problem at once, and a local problem becomes a global problem at once; a personal matter or a unit matter may become a major issue of the country and the government at once! "So the harmony issue, I think, the important issue is to improve the governing philosophy, diligent ability, and their quality and level of the majority of cadres and civil servants. Of course, it does not mean that the people themselves have no problems, but the contradictions between the masses and the rulers and the When there is a disagreement, those in power are the main factor and the main aspect of solving the problem."

I often say to some officials, if you treat less guests, travel less, and go abroad once less, the money you save can solve the difficulties of one or even several people.In fact, cadres and leaders in some places now say that they have no money and no money when they need to solve some economic difficulties for the masses.It should be admitted that our country is not yet rich, and some places are not financially well off.But are we really powerless?no.Let me give you an example: In an area in Shanxi, there was a petitioner who had been arguing with the government for several years over a matter of 15,000 yuan. The local cadres spent as much as 150,000 yuan just for this person to go to Beijing to pick him up. !If the cadres and leaders there would settle accounts, wouldn't the problems of the masses have been resolved sooner?Regrettably, the cadres and leaders in some of our places do not count such accounts. They only calculate how much money they will spend to solve the difficulties of the masses. costs incurred in the process.Countless manpower and financial resources are spent in dealing with and handling mass petitions all over the country in one year, and the amount is astonishing!

"It's all the country's money, the people's money, and the taxpayer's money! We should learn to feel sorry for the wealth we have earned through sweat and hard work, otherwise no matter how strong the country is, it will sooner or later be poor and empty! And there is no problem to be solved. Solve the problem that can be solved with a few thousand yuan or ten thousand yuan, but in the end it cannot be solved with hundreds of thousands of yuan or hundreds of thousands of yuan!" Establishing social harmony, judicial fairness and openness are very important links.Now some people have opinions and make troubles because the judiciary is not so fair and open, and there are many favor cases.The flaws in some laws themselves are also one of the reasons for the problems.Therefore, in order to improve citizens' awareness of the rule of law, we must first solve the problem of the judiciary itself, which is the key. "Finally, I would like to say a word to ordinary people: Today our country is in a period of comprehensive social progress and development, entering a historical juncture of transformation, and various interest relations and social contradictions are also constantly emerging. The pursuit of social harmony, the past It is the good wish of each of us to live a prosperous, peaceful, and happy life. But in real life, there are inevitably some unsatisfactory things. Every one of us living in reality should face the possible problems correctly with a healthy attitude. For the problems and conflicts that arise in you, learn to deal with them calmly, and especially understand the difficulties of the government and the country. When considering problems and handling things, you must proceed from reality. When getting along with others, you should carry forward the spirit of humility and humility The traditional Chinese virtues, even if you are on your side, you have to be reasonable. In this way, we 1.3 billion people can truly live in harmony.” Liang Yurun, who practiced it personally, thinks more maturely and profoundly than when the author wrote , we have reason to believe that this person who once touched China can move you, me and him even more today...

When I finished writing a book, I was attending the Seventh National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association.At the meeting, I was honored to listen to the report made by General Secretary Hu Jintao. He advocated that "all progressive literature and art originate from the people, for the people, and belong to the people" and called on writers to "use full passion, vivid brushwork, beautiful melody, and moving images" To create, and "progressive literature and art, engraving the hope of a nation, heralding the future of a country, deeply affecting the spirit of a nation and the fashion of an era" have echoed in my ears for a long time.What is contemporary progressive literature and art for?What direction should our writers' creation take?General Secretary Hu Jintao once again gave us a profound explanation of these issues.When I was encouraged, I felt a sense of relief: Looking back on the literary creation process I have gone through in the past ten years, I checked myself, and I feel that I am basically practicing towards this goal, and I have not stopped.In the past ten years, I have created more than a dozen works with nearly three million words. Although I feel very tired, and friends often advise me not to be so tired.It’s really tiring—as a non-professional writer, and as the editor-in-chief of a large literary journal, it’s already tiring to find time to write. The problem is that the work must also have a certain impact, which is destined to be even more difficult thing.But I have never listened to the advice of my friends. The reason is very simple. The work responsibility of the unit cannot be shirked, and writing is a part of my life - let alone give up.Especially after I have been relatively more and more proficient in writing practice, I feel that there are too many tasks to write and can be written or pressured by others... It is by no means greedy, it is not random, and it is definitely not a writing that wants to enter "industrialization" The state, but there are too many things to write about in our society, and others are chasing after you and waiting for you to write.Some people think that when a person writes to a certain stage, he can earn his living. This may be the case for novelists and poets, but for a reportage writer, this possibility hardly exists—unless your literary passion and sense of journalism are gone.

It is impossible for a reportage writer full of literary passion and sense of journalism to stop paying attention to society and stop writing career in every minute of your life... This is a kind of wealth and life that our era has given today's reportage writers unremitting drive.You can exhaust your energy, you can shorten your lifespan, but you can’t throw yourself into the fiery life again and again with passion, pick fresh materials, and create intensely—like a soldier’s desire for victory in war.I really don't know when I will be able to weaken this passion for reportage creation. I love reportage too much and I am suitable for it. Reportage has caused me to lose many precious things in my life, and it has made me regain more spirit Wealth and spiritual satisfaction - this kind of wealth and satisfaction is what has been responded to by readers after the work is published.Writing about Liang Yurun is an example.I have always maintained that reportage must have the object of "reporting" and the effect of "reporting".

For a piece of reportage, if we test whether it is excellent or not, if we do not consider the feedback from readers, society and the market, we will lose the meaning of the style itself.Works that have no readers and no influence, first of all, have lost the textual effect that reportage should have, and no matter how many awards they win, it is of no use.By the same token, works that cannot be published one edition after another and read by batches of readers for a long time cannot be called excellent reportage, let alone talk about its "literariness".Today, with the expansion and development of various media, reportage is increasingly squeezed by similar text styles (such as news on TV and "documentary" things), and the creation of reportage is facing a more difficult situation and development trend.Because of its unique news materials, reportage is often overtaken and cloned by TV and newspaper news, and is naturally downplayed and ignored by the public.

If the problems of creation itself are added, reportage will undoubtedly face the situation of "death".In order not to "death" this genre and to redistribute its unique charm, we can only achieve it by paying more labor and superb wisdom than writers and journalists engaged in any literary category.It is impossible for us to have the powerful conditions of journalists who have more and more complete modern means, nor can we have the leisurely and unrestrained lifestyle of novelists and poets. Reportage writers are charging warriors and galloping knights. He is a passer-by at the station of life!

We are always tired, we are always passionate, and we are always young, so we can always maintain the existence value of its style and the significance of creating this style! This is determined by readers' requirements for reportage writers and the style itself.Today's people are still very willing to read excellent reportage, and like to read reportage works that are closely related to their real life. Therefore, I continue to love reportage fanatically, and I am willing to write more characters like Liang Yurun and write about the great era. Those exciting and important events that occurred.I love reportage as much as I love my own life...
