Editor's note:

"Without investigation, there is no voice, let alone decision-making." Following the general secretary's practical footprints and ideological guidance, CCTV's "Idiom Reading" specially plans "Xi Jinping's way of accomplishing things", taking you to learn and comprehend the general secretary's style of governing the country from the language charm and working methods of the people's leaders.

Insisting on proceeding from reality in everything is the starting point and foothold of thinking about problems, making decisions, and doing things, and investigation and research is the key to going deep into reality, understanding reality, better discovering problems, and solving problems.

At the opening ceremony of the training course for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) in the fall semester of 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that to understand reality, we must master the basic skill of investigation and research. It is necessary not only to "enter" the grassroots units, but also to "go to the grassroots units with our hearts" to listen to the truth, examine the true feelings, and truly study problems and problems.

Stepping into the game, standing up and being responsible, there is hope for success. In the investigation and research, the expression of the deep progressive relationship between "body" and "heart" vividly reflects the general secretary's methodological exposition and ideological essence of investigation and research work.

"Immersion" is the premise of doing a good job in investigation and research, and the purpose is to go among the masses and grasp in detail a large number of first-hand, intuitive and vivid real situations. "Reaching the heart" is the key to doing a good job in investigation and research, not only with a true feeling of the masses of the people, but also in making efforts in in-depth analysis and thinking, from the surface to the inside, to find the essence and law of things, and to find ideas and methods for solving problems.

Solving real difficulties, relieving difficulties, and working hard to seek accuracy and efficiency are the consistent goals of General Secretary Xi Jinping's investigation and research.

On February 2013, 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yuangudui Village, Weiyuan County, Gansu Province. In the adobe house of villager Ma Gang's house, the general secretary scooped up a spoonful of water from the water tank at the root of the wall and tasted it, and the taste of brackish water made him frown. He told the villagers: "The party and the government will care about and help everyone, and we will work together to make life more prosperous." ”

After tasting the bitter taste of salty water, the general secretary felt the real difficulties of the local people's lives, and advised the responsible comrades of the local and accompanying relevant departments to "put people's livelihood first, and water management is the priority." Since then, the "drainage project" benefiting millions of people in Gansu has accelerated the pace of construction, and the idea of precise poverty alleviation in Yuangudui Village has gradually unfolded, and sweet tap water has flowed into every household.

The inspection of Yuangudui Village is only a microcosm of General Secretary Xi Jinping's daily investigation and research to seek depth, detail and truth. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Liangjiahe Village in Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province, Desheng Village in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, Sanhe Village in Zhaojue County in Sichuan Province, Feng Nanyuan Village in Huozhou City, Shanxi Province... For more than a decade, many villages have left footprints of the general secretary's inspection and research.

"Take a look, there is a little bottom in your heart", which shows that the general secretary "enters" the grassroots level, and even more must "heart" the grassroots work principle and adhere to it in his heart.

As a leader of a major country leading the struggle of more than 14.<> billion people, General Secretary Xi Jinping still finds time to go to the masses and understand the people's urgent difficulties and expectations. Open the lid of the pot to see what the masses eat, touch the futon to see if it is thin, see if the bathroom can be flushed, ask the high blood pressure patients how much the drug fee is reimbursed... Personally feel every detail of the people's life, carefully calculate each "account book", and clarify the key ideas to solve the problem.

"What else do the masses need, and what else can we do?" It has always been the starting point and foothold of General Secretary Xi Jinping's investigation and research. Looking back at the general secretary's grassroots work experience, it is not difficult to find that it is his consistent work style to persist in proceeding from reality in carrying out investigation and research.

During his more than three years in Zhengding, Hebei, Xi Jinping traveled to 25 townships and 221 villages in the county; In Ningde, Fujian, Xi Jinping traveled to nine counties within three months of his arrival; In Zhejiang, Xi Jinping spent more than one year running all 3 counties and municipalities in the province...

Only by carrying out investigation and study in in-depth practice can we find out the truth and the overall picture of the matter, extract the fine from the rough, remove the false and preserve the truth, grasp the essence and law of the problem, come up with ideas and methods for solving the problem, and truly achieve the unity of knowledge and action at the grassroots level.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak, let alone decision-making. Investigation and research, linking the original intention and action, information and decision-making, and the will of the party and the people, are the basis for seeking things and the way to achieve things.

As Xi Jinping often said at the grassroots level during his work in Zhejiang: "If you don't eat pears, how do you know the taste of pears?" As he once emphasized during his work in Ningde City, Fujian Province: "Do not be afraid of the problems raised by the masses, do not avoid them, we must go deep into the grassroots to discover, face and solve problems." ”
