How do the poverty alleviation cadres in the county without hats take vacation? Sidelights on the Status of Grassroots Cadres in Ziyun County, Guizhou
Around August, when the weather is hot, there has always been a relatively concentrated period for public officials to take vacations in accordance with the law.
In a poverty-stricken county that is in the critical period of poverty alleviation, what is the situation of the frontline poverty alleviation cadres taking leave?
How to deal with the relationship between vacation and poverty alleviation work?
What are the local care and incentive measures for them who have been fighting hard for many years?
With these questions, the reporter from Banyue Tan came to Ziyun Miao Buyi Autonomous County in Anshun City, Guizhou Province.
Located in the Mashan area of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it is one of the 9 poor counties in Guizhou and 52 uncapped counties in the country.
Increase in the number of cadres on leave:
Have confidence in getting rid of poverty, have confidence in vacation
After visiting several towns and villages in Ziyun County, the reporter from Banyue Tan found that compared with previous years, the number and proportion of front-line poverty alleviation cadres on leave has increased.
Wang Desheng, secretary of the party committee of the four major villages, said that there are 187 cadres engaged in poverty alleviation in the township. Last year, the number of applicants for vacation was 14 and this year it was 61.
As of September 10, 42 people have taken vacations in batches this year, and the remaining 19 people have completed vacations in batches before the end of the year.
"As long as you apply for a vacation and arrange for others to take care of their work during the period, we will support it." Wang Desheng said.
When the Banyuetan reporter came to Baishiyan Township, he saw the three forms that had been counted, the vacation time was concentrated from late July to September, and the replacement responsible personnel for this post was noted.
In 2019, the number of poverty alleviation cadres in the township including those sent from higher levels was 126. Last year, 28 were actually on leave; in 2020, there were 129 and 118 were eligible for leave. By the beginning of September, 85 were on leave. people.
Since the fight against poverty, a large number of cadres have given up weekends and public holidays on the front line of poverty alleviation, and "white plus black" and "five plus two" have become the norm.
Some have physical overdrafts and mental loads reaching their limits, and some have long-term lack of family care for their families.
At the Guizhou Provincial People's Congress at the beginning of 2020, Governor Chen Yiqin said that since 2012, 142 comrades in Guizhou have sacrificed their lives on the front line of poverty alleviation.
After the meeting, Li Qingping, a 30-year-old young cadre in Weining Yi Hui and Miao Autonomous County, died in poverty alleviation.
This year, many departments in Guizhou requested to further standardize the paid leave system for officials and employees of government agencies and institutions.
“In the past, we advocated vacations in general. This year we have increased our efforts to require every grassroots cadres to know about vacations and let them consider them.” said Yuan Yuan, director of the Organization Department of the Ziyun County Party Committee.
"I have confidence in poverty alleviation, and I have confidence in this year's vacation." Ban Zugang, Party Secretary of Baishiyan Township, said that through the improvement of infrastructure in recent years and the development of industries such as 10,000 acres of red core sweet potatoes, the effectiveness of poverty alleviation has been significantly improved.
"We also hope to implement vacations to relieve everyone's nervousness that has been under high-pressure work, and to invest in the final battle against poverty with a fuller mental state."
The "Three Littles" phenomenon:
Occupy the hill, but also need to clean the battlefield
Although the superiors encouraged the implementation of vacations and even adopted urging measures, according to the survey of the reporters from Banyuetan, there are many cadres who give up vacations due to poverty alleviation work in poor counties, which can be summarized as the phenomenon of "three few".
Compared with general cadres, the county and township leaders take fewer vacations.
"Although victory is in sight, the hilltop is occupied, but we must continue to'guard the hilltop' and clean up the battlefield." said Chen Germany, deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge of poverty alleviation in Ziyun County.
Not only Ziyun, but many county and township officials in many impoverished counties in Guizhou said frankly that although they can take vacations and want to take vacations, they have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders and can't let go of them, so they just keep going.
Ban Zugang supported cadres to take reasonable vacations, but he worked for 26 years. Except for three years in the county CPPCC, he stayed in towns and villages all the time and never took vacations.
"It's not that I don't want to take a vacation, because I'm afraid of delaying official business because of the vacation."
Compared with ordinary poor townships, cadres in deeply impoverished townships take fewer vacations.
Daying Town, located in the southeast corner of Ziyun County and at the junction of the three counties, is one of the 20 extremely poor towns in Guizhou Province identified in 2016.
According to Chen Kai, Secretary of the Party Committee of Daying Town, 98 cadres in Daying Town should take leave this year. As of September 10, no one has applied for leave.
"Energy is highly concentrated and mentally tense." Chen Kai, who has worked in towns and villages for a long time, said, "The second half of the year is a critical period for the final battle. We must turn like a spinning top and do more for the people."
Compared with municipal and county officials, township officials take fewer vacations.
The Banyuetan reporter learned that the proportion of poverty alleviation team members sent directly by the city and county to the villages in Ziyun County is higher.
The reasons are that they are far away from home and spend less time with their families compared to rural cadres. The second is that the vacation atmosphere of government agencies has always been better than that of "thousands of lines above and a needle below". Be thicker.
More than vacation support:

It is understood that Ziyun County currently has a total of 2,728 cadres and employees fighting on the front line of poverty alleviation in 162 villages.
There are only a handful of cadres left behind in county and township agencies, and their work tasks have also increased dramatically.
Since April this year, the Guizhou Provincial Leading Group Office for Poverty Alleviation and Development and the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee Organization Department have once again requested that the policy of caring for frontline cadres in poverty alleviation be implemented, paying attention to the physical and mental health of cadres, and implementing humanistic care.
In response to the failure of some cadres and employees to take vacations, the Organization Department of the Ziyun County Party Committee stated that it will fully supervise and urge the implementation of the payment of subsidies for non-leaves.
"Further care and care for cadres can inspire frontline cadres." Yuan Yuan said that in addition to advocating the implementation of vacations, Ziyun County also tried every means to explore various ways to ensure and encourage frontline cadres.

In Ziyun County, while establishing heart-to-heart talks between superiors and subordinates, and strengthening communication and assistance mechanisms, it also invited psychologists in poverty-stricken counties in Guizhou to go to towns, towns and sub-districts to conduct lectures and "one-on-one" answering questions.
In 2018 and 2019, more than 300 front-line cadres and more than 1,200 people were trained.
In 2020, it will also cooperate with universities to open a psychological counseling hotline.
"The role of psychological expert counseling may be difficult for leaders within the system to give." Yuan Yuan said.
-Promotion.
Ziyun County gives full play to the promotion and incentive role of civil servants and prefers front-line cadres in poverty alleviation.
In the past three years, a total of 236 front-line cadres for poverty alleviation in the county have been promoted, accounting for about 80% of the county’s promotion.
At the same time, 32 front-line cadres in poverty alleviation were promoted or exchanged to important positions; 11 village cadres with outstanding work performance were given economic treatment policies to deputy section-level cadres in towns and villages.
The proportion of township cadres who were excellent in the year-end assessment reached 30%, which was 5% higher than that of county-level officials.
-Life guarantee.
On the one hand, Ziyun County invested nearly 100 million yuan in the renovation of 162 administrative villages and village-level activity venues, improving the living and working environment of frontline cadres from the basics of food, clothing, housing and transportation; on the other hand, a number of safeguard measures were taken for their treatment and personal safety, such as improving The amount of personal accident insurance has increased from 500,000 yuan last year to 1 million yuan this year.
Chen Bin, 54 years old this year, is the captain of the poverty alleviation team in Shaiwa Village, four major villages.
He said that when he was in the village, he deeply felt the concern of his superiors.
"The mountains are cold in winter, and electric blankets and heaters were distributed for us; the canteen in the village is equipped with disinfection cabinets, refrigerators and induction cookers; a small medicine cabinet is also provided."
Chen Kai told Banyuetan reporters that when the poverty alleviation is officially accepted, he also wants to take a few days off.
"I want to visit those places that have done a good job in rural tourism, and do some homework for our town's future rural revitalization."
