  Go back in time to 32 years ago.

On February 20, 1991, at the work meeting of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, made it clear to the city's cadres for the first time: "We must vigorously promote the work spirit of 'do it right away', pay attention to work effectiveness, and improve work efficiency. , make less empty talk and pay close attention to implementation in the city to further form the atmosphere, form habits, and form rules."

  On May 8, 1992, Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Sixth Fuzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China: "Last year we advocated 'do it right away' and achieved very good results. I think this year, in addition to these four words, there are more I need to add four more words, that is, 'really work hard'".

"'Do it right away' and 'do it hard', we can actually change our style of work, implement the work in real terms, and create a new situation."

  Since then, the good style of "doing it right away and working hard" has brought about great changes in Fuzhou's economic and social development.

  During the work in Ningde, "four downs to the grassroots", in Fuzhou, he proposed to practice the fine style of "doing it immediately and doing it hard". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has proposed "empty talk will harm the country, and hard work will rejuvenate the country" "one point of deployment, nine points Implement" "carry forward the spirit of nailing nails", "grasp iron with marks, step on stones to leave marks", "roll up your sleeves and work harder", "down-to-earth, hard work" and other style construction requirements...From the local to the central, General Secretary Xi Jinping advocates hard work The work style is consistent.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping personally advocated and practiced the excellent style of "doing it right away and working hard", which embodies his public servant feelings of not forgetting the original aspiration and putting the people first, the view of the masses who are connected by flesh and blood, and the spirit of forging ahead and overcoming difficulties The spirit of hard work, the never-waiting, never-slack responsibility, has the spiritual value and the significance of the times across time and space.

  On March 13, the first National Two Sessions after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China successfully concluded.

The blueprint has been drawn, and the focus is on implementing it.

Embarking on the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, the practical pertinence of the good style of "doing it right away and working hard" has become more prominent, encouraging the entire party, the army, and the people of all ethnic groups to remember that empty talk is harmful to the country, and hard work will rejuvenate the country, and strengthen confidence , with one heart and one mind, work hard and forge ahead.

["One building" office reduces official seal "travel"]

  In the early 1990s, as one of the first 14 open coastal cities, Fuzhou's soft environment for development was not satisfactory.

Some party members and cadres were lazy, procrastinated, and inefficient for a time. Enterprises and the masses were difficult to enter and handle affairs to varying degrees.

  The proposal of "doing it immediately and working hard" has brought a new look to the work of Fuzhou City.

In just a few years, the work style of the organization has changed significantly, and it has become the conscious action of cadres at all levels in Fuzhou to focus on execution, efficiency, and effectiveness.

  "Do it right away and work hard", aiming at the development reality of slow progress and retreat.

In Fuzhou at that time, attracting investment was one of the most important tasks.

Focusing on the areas of investment project approval that are most strongly reflected by businessmen, Fuzhou has created a precedent for centralized approval in China by targeting the "one building" office.

  Hu Xiaohui, then deputy director of the Foreign Economic and Economic Affairs Department of the Fuzhou Municipal Government, told the "Outlook" News Weekly reporter: "At that time, foreign businessmen who wanted to set up companies and invest in factories in Fuzhou had to register with the departments of industry and commerce, taxation, and customs, and then went to land, construction, etc. Waiting for departmental approval. These departments are scattered in different corners of the city, and you have to go one by one. Under normal circumstances, at least 140 official seals are required to complete all the procedures, which takes more than a year."

  In response to these phenomena, on March 27, 1991, at the on-site office meeting in the Rongqiao Industrial Zone, Xi Jinping proposed for the first time to adopt methods such as "one building" office and relevant departments entrusting agents and door-to-door services to reduce the "travel" of stamps and official seals. .

  At that time, there was no precedent for "one building" office in China.

"At the beginning, many powerful departments were reluctant to enter." Wang Wengui, then member of the Standing Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and head of the Organization Department, recalled.

  In order to protect the interests of the masses and to facilitate the business affairs of enterprises, Xi Jinping will not compromise.

At several meetings of the foreign investment leading group, he firmly supported the construction of "one building", believing that as long as it is convenient for enterprises to handle affairs and conducive to attracting investment, reforms should be boldly implemented.

Xi Jinping also promoted the municipal party committee to form a resolution to coordinate and supervise.

In the end, all the departments that should be moved in were moved in.

  Established in Fuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone in Mawei, a foreign investment service center was established, which gathered more than 20 government departments and social service units in the city, and implemented joint office work, which greatly improved the speed of project approval.

  In 1991, a Korean businessman came to Mawei Development Zone to open a diamond factory.

In just 2 days, the staff completed all the procedures for him, including the examination and approval permit, business license, and customs registration.

"This kind of immediate change was unimaginable before." Hu Xiaohui said.

  "Do it right away and work hard", aiming at the pain points and difficulties of the masses in handling affairs.

On January 14, 1991, the second page of "Fuzhou Evening News" published a piece of news - "We also need a "Guidelines for Citizens Handling Affairs"", which reflected the public's call for improving the service level of government agencies.

This inconspicuous "tofu block" article has aroused Xi Jinping's great attention.

  Xi Jinping immediately instructed the Political Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee to take the lead in compiling, and immediately published the news in the newspaper to give feedback to the masses. It took only 50 hours before and after.

  In the following month or so, the Political Research Office of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee collected 477 contributions from more than 60 departments and units, and completed the 260,000-word "Fuzhou Handling Guide" and the 190,000-word "Fuzhou Citizen Handling Guide". Published.

The two guides include various systems, procedures, regulations, and precautions closely related to government departments and the people, which are concise, clear, popular and practical.

  Xi Jinping called it "enhancing the transparency of handling affairs, promoting the construction of a clean government, strengthening the relationship between the party and the masses, and improving the soft environment for investment."

  "Do it right away and do it hard", aiming at the supervision and supervision of the way of doing things.

In 1991, Xi Jinping proposed that the key to "doing it right away" is to do a good job in supervision and inspection, and to "look back".

Only by supervision and inspection can we really work hard, otherwise we will be "scarecrows".

  Since then, a whole set of inspection and supervision mechanism has been gradually established in Fuzhou.

These include: matters decided by the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, and the work deployed in the important speech of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee must be decomposed and approved, and assigned to various departments for implementation; The investigation agencies and municipal departments and offices all have special supervisors; for any matter, there are responsible persons, research, deployment, and inspection, and the progress and effects of completion are supervised by someone.

  "Do it right away and work hard", these eight characters are engraved on the outer wall of the auditorium of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Subsequently, many service mechanisms such as the "initial inquiry responsibility system", "limited time completion system", and "whole process agency system" were continuously introduced and have persisted to this day.

  "'Do it right away, do it hard' has captured the key points of the style of Fuzhou's cadres and the soft environment of economic construction at that time, so that the spirit of diligent and clean government and strict implementation will take root among the city's leading cadres." Deputy Secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Committee at the time , said Jin Nengchou, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

[From "a building" to "a window"]

  Recently, a reporter from this magazine walked into the hall of the Mawei District Government Service Center, and saw that the people who handle affairs use the electronic ID card in the "e Fuzhou" app to get a number, and they can handle related business by showing the code in front of the window, realizing the "one-stop" government service center hall. code pass”, no need to carry ID card.

  Zhuang Yongzhi, secretary of the Mawei District Party Committee, said: "Mawei is the first to carry out a pilot program of digital ID cards. The information of the masses is integrated and collected, and people can do things without ID cards. At present, more than 1,600 businesses in 21 departments can be handled through digital ID cards."

  From the earliest "one building" office to today's "one center" handling affairs, "do it now" has continuously expanded from the field of investment promotion to the field of government services and people's livelihood services.

The mass service has realized the transformation from "going to departments one by one" to "only entering one door" and then "only looking for one window".

  The reporter saw at the Fuzhou Municipal Affairs Service Center that the large screen in the center displayed the waiting situation at the window in real time.

Through the calling system, the public can clearly know "which window to handle and how long it will take", and there is rarely a long queue in front of the window.

  "Many businesses can now be handled on the palm of the hand through the mobile app. 97.85% of the approval items can be applied online, pre-examined online or approved online. The people who handle the work 'only use one network' and do not need to go to the site." Management Committee of Fuzhou Municipal Service Center Chen Bin, director of the approval department, said.

  In front of the "Packing and Doing" window, Mr. Zhu, who has just purchased a second-hand house, is applying for the "one thing to buy a house" package.

After submitting the relevant materials, he completed the second-hand house transfer, the renaming of the special housing maintenance fund account, and the water and electricity transfer in just half an hour in a "one-stop" manner.

  This is due to the "packaged" government services created by the Fuzhou Municipal Service Center.

Chen Bin introduced that the service center selected 118 groups of matters such as new enterprises, newborn births, and employment, and collected materials at one time through a joint acceptance method, and implemented "one thing" at one time, greatly reducing the number of people running errands.

  "Establish a unified government service integration platform for the whole city, promote the expansion of service scope, integration of service models, and diversification of service forms, and continuously improve the efficiency of 'do it now'." Lin Cairen, deputy director of the Fuzhou Municipal Service Center Management Committee, said, At present, 98.84% of the city-level "one trip at most" items have been realized, and 84.31% of the "one trip without running" items have been achieved.

  In 2022, Fuzhou's GDP will increase by 4.4% year-on-year, achieving a regional GDP of 1,230.8 billion yuan, leading the province. Compared with 10.24 billion yuan in 1990, it has increased by more than 100 times.

As a cadre who grew up in Fuzhou, Wu Xiande, the mayor of Fuzhou, witnessed the great changes in Fuzhou. He said: "The achievements of Fuzhou's economic and social development are due to the inheritance and continuous development of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government over the past 32 years. "Do it right away, work hard" has a good style of work, one term after another, dare to take responsibility, innovate the working mechanism, transform the government's functions, and improve the efficiency of work."

  Good style of work has taken root—not only in Fuzhou, but all departments in Fujian have regarded the good style of "doing it right away and working hard" as a precious spiritual wealth, and they have made unremitting efforts to let it take root in the land of Fujian.

  Xiamen City has built an "one-network" platform for commercial entities and promoted "smart + business registration", which has significantly improved the convenience and experience of enterprises; Zhangzhou City has broken down data barriers, established alliance agreements, and unified platforms to effectively solve the strong complaints of the masses. Difficulties in handling affairs; Fujian Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau took the lead in building a provincial-level medical insurance "dual-channel" electronic prescription circulation platform, which solved the pain points and difficulties of insured patients in purchasing medicines...

  Guided by the excellent work style of "doing it right away and working hard", Fujian Province has vigorously promoted the reform of "decentralization, regulation and service", and the business environment has been continuously optimized.

At present, 80.4% of Fujian province's government services are handled online, and 90.3% of them do not need to run for one visit.

  Integrating into habits and forming rules - on the first day of construction in the new year of 2023, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee will deploy and implement the action of "deep learning to strive for excellence, dare to be the first, and work hard to achieve results". The latest measure of the good style of hard work.

  The Fujian Provincial Party Committee clearly stated that the entire province should further sound the clarion call of "doing it right away and working hard", enhance the awareness of striving for excellence, striving for the first, and striving for effectiveness, improve the initiative, creativity, and effectiveness of work, and put the hard work into practice. The standards of requirements and effectiveness are reflected in all work, and we will win the initiative, win the victory, and win the future in the process of seeking truth and being pragmatic, and paying close attention to implementation.

  In January this year, the State Council approved the establishment of a China-Indonesia Economic and Trade Innovation Development Demonstration Park.

Recently, the reporter walked into Fuqing Yuanhong Investment Zone, Fuqing, the Chinese park of China-Indonesia "two countries and two parks". Rows of new factories are lined up, and a number of key projects are under construction. At present, 44 projects have been completed and put into operation, with a total investment of 21.4 billion yuan. Key projects.

  Lin Baojin, member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, said that "doing it right away and doing it hard" means focusing on the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the work requirements of the Provincial Party Committee, taking immediate action, formulating a work plan based on the actual situation, and adhering to the front-line work method and project work method , Typical work method, promote the effective implementation of target tasks from point to area.

  "Do it right away and work hard" is not only a spiritual pursuit and conscious action, but also a normal and long-term working mechanism in Fujian Province.

  In 2018, the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Fujian Provincial Party Committee successively issued the "Several Regulations of Fuzhou City on "Doing it Immediately and Doing It Hard" (Trial)" and "Fujian Province Carrying Forward the Fine Traditional Style of "Doing It Right Now and Doing It Hard" (Trial) "Trial Implementation)" (revised in 2021), concretizing and institutionalizing the good style of "doing it right away and doing it hard".

  Continue to innovate and keep pace with the times - implement the "power list system", all levels and departments comprehensively sort out the list of administrative powers and public service items, scientifically compile service guides, make them public, and provide convenience for the masses;

  Establish a "fault tolerance mechanism" to encourage party members and cadres to take responsibility, as long as they are dedicated to the public, allow mistakes, and avoid "fear of doing wrong things, don't do things";

  Strengthen supervision and inspection, carry out special supervision and daily inspection of the implementation of "doing it right away and doing it right away" on a regular basis, and make the implementation of "doing it right away and doing it right away" an important content of the annual performance evaluation of departments at all levels;

  Aiming at the pain points of people's livelihood such as the difficulty of parking in the city and the difficulty of noise pollution control, carry out "point-and-point rectification" to break through the blocking points...

  Over the past 32 years, various departments in various parts of Fujian have expanded the connotation and extension of the style of "doing it right away and working hard". According to the situation and tasks in different periods and stages, they have innovated working mechanisms, responded to the demands of the masses and enterprises, and improved their sense of gain and satisfaction.

  Looking to the future, the excellent style of "doing it right away and working hard" is continuously injecting strong impetus into accelerating the construction of a new Fujian with "active mechanisms, excellent industries, rich people, and beautiful ecology".

【Continue to struggle hard to rejuvenate the country】

  From Xi Jinping's advocacy of "doing it right away and doing it hard" in Fuzhou, to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has been working hard to improve the work style. , Advancing with the times in keeping upright and innovating.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the conditions of the world, the country, and the Party have undergone profound changes.

It has strong practical significance to carry forward the fine style of "doing it right away and doing it hard".

  Strengthen the construction of style of work and advocate hard work to rejuvenate the country.

"'Do it right away and do it hard' advocates a work style that works hard to rejuvenate the country." According to Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration), "do it right away" requires cadres to be anxious about the people. What is urgent, think what the people think, and solve the "urgency, difficulty and anxiety" of the people.

"Real work" requires cadres to seek truth and be pragmatic, seek truth from facts, discover real problems, and solve practical problems from the actual point of view, without putting on airs or engaging in formalism.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized on many occasions that "empty talk harms the country, and hard work rejuvenates the country", "advocates hard work, and pays close attention to implementation". Requirements, advocating "carry forward the spirit of nailing", "grasp the iron mark, step on the stone to leave a mark", "roll up your sleeves and work harder", "keep your feet on the ground and work hard", this is in value with the fine style of "do it right away and work hard". The concept is the same.

  Zhang Yantao, a professor of the School of Marxism at Xiamen University, believes that the good style of "doing it right away and doing it hard" on the one hand aims at the phenomena of inaction such as mediocrity, laziness, laziness, and procrastination. The voice of the masses; on the other hand, cadres are required to be based on reality, to know the truth, tell the truth, make practical moves, do practical things, and seek practical results.

  Prominent problem-oriented, Daxing research style.

In January 2020, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervision Commission announced the summary of the national investigation and punishment of mental problems that violated the eight central regulations in December 2019. One change is striking—the data on formalism and bureaucratic problems were released to the public for the first time.

  "Endless meetings, endless forms, and endless inspections" once made many grassroots cadres exhausted.

The Party Central Committee combined solving the outstanding problems of formalism with reducing the burden on the grassroots, and promoted the grassroots cadres to travel lightly, and achieved good results in promoting development and serving the people.

  Behind this is a distinct way of thinking and working methods—persist in investigation and research, focus on outstanding problems, pay close attention to reality, and achieve results.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the whole party has vigorously promoted the style of investigation and research, promoted the whole party to advocate hard work, refrain from empty talk, and make precise efforts, and promoted the Party Central Committee's major policies and decision-making arrangements to take root at the grassroots level.

  Shi Hongmei, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Marxism at Xiamen University, believes that each stage of development faces different situations and tasks.

In the 1990s, it was proposed to "do it right away and work hard", the main purpose of which is to solve problems such as the difficulties of the masses and enterprises in handling affairs, and the lazy style of some cadres.

As we embark on a new journey, party members and cadres must keep the "two overall situations" in mind, strengthen historical initiative, not avoid problems, and deal with various difficulties and challenges on the way forward with a practical attitude, and take the initiative and courage to take responsibility.

  Improve the system design and form a closed loop of supervision.

In 2022, the 11th Inspection Team of the Ninth Supervision of the State Council inspected Tanxia Township, Leiyang City, Hunan Province, and found that some rural drinking water projects lacked feasibility demonstration in the early stage of construction, and lacked maintenance and management after completion. Water pipes, but no running water available.

Since then, Leiyang City has made reforms, formulated a rectification plan of "one problem, one measure, one responsible person", implemented the time limit for rectification, and once again "looked back" at the city's rural drinking water safety project to ensure that the rectification is in place.

  Since 2014, the State Council has carried out a major inspection every year to strictly and practically deal with a number of problems in the implementation of major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee.

The localities and departments that have been inspected shall list rectifications, detail rectification measures, clarify rectification time limits, and implement rectification responsibilities to ensure that "everything is settled and everything is answered."

  Promote special inspections for poverty alleviation, supervision and inspection of food waste behaviors, supervision and inspection of the implementation of various policies and measures that benefit and enrich the people and promote common prosperity, strengthen supervision and inspection of deployment requirements such as agricultural and rural modernization, and strengthen supervision of "top leaders" and leading groups Supervision... Wherever the Party Central Committee's major decisions are deployed, supervision will follow up.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have strengthened accountability for the implementation of the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, such as formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance. The main responsibility for work style construction is to promote the normalization and long-term effect of work style construction.

  Establish mechanisms such as target responsibility system, first-inquiry responsibility system, time-limited completion system, and performance evaluation system... The reporter found in many interviews that the excellent style of "do it right away and work hard" has promoted the system exploration of various departments across the country , formed a relatively complete supervision system.

  Standing at a new starting point for a new journey, the fine style of "doing it right away and working hard" not only reflects inheritance but also has the characteristics of the times. It not only shows the work style of the Communist Party of China "seeking truth and being pragmatic", but also reflects that our party is people-centered The development thought, showing the world the new style of the Chinese Communists in the new era.
