Consolidate the Rule of China with the Rule of Grass Roots —— A Summary of Adhering to and Developing the ＂Fengqiao Experience＂ in the New Era
A strong grass-roots unit makes the country strong, and a secure grass-roots unit makes the world safe. Whether the grass-roots governance is good or not depends on the grass-roots party organizations and the cadres in party member.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly given important instructions to uphold and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era at the grassroots level.
In the new era, "Fengqiao Experience" puts more emphasis on the leadership of the Party, highlights the thinking of the rule of law, highlights the support of science and technology, and pays more attention to social participation, showing timeless charm and becoming a "golden signboard" for promoting grassroots social governance in China.
Rejuvenate in persistence and carry forward in development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era has been adhered to and developed, the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing in China has been further improved, and the mechanism for correctly handling contradictions among the people under the new situation has been further improved. The grassroots party member cadres have resolved contradictions and disputes at the grassroots level in time, and the effectiveness of social governance has been further improved, and the people’s sense of gain, happiness and security has been continuously enhanced.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong’s instruction to study and popularize the "Maple Bridge Experience" and the 20th anniversary of the instruction of the Supreme Leader General Secretary to uphold and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience". Rooting in the fertile soil of history and culture, striving for a new journey, and adhering to and developing the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era will surely further promote the modernization of China’s grassroots social governance system and governance capacity, and will surely more effectively ensure people’s livelihood, social stability and order, and long-term stability of the country.
Pay more attention to the party’s leadership, and constantly transform the party’s political advantages, organizational advantages and close ties with the masses into the effectiveness of grassroots governance.
In the birthplace of "Maple Bridge Experience" — — In Fengqiao Town, Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province, there is an old party member, who always likes to take a small bench and sit in the middle of the neighborhood, chatting at home, helping many people solve their "bumps".
His name is Yang Guangzhao, a retired policeman of Fengqiao Police Station. After retirement, he has been committed to mediation of grassroots disputes. He has recorded more than 100 "mediation diaries". In Yang Guangzhao’s words, "Mediation lies in using the wisdom of the people to resolve their contradictions. Let’s work together to handle a small matter well, and Fengqiao Town will be more beautiful. "
Over the past 60 years, the "Fengqiao Experience" has already gone out of Zhejiang and moved to the whole country, and it has been enriched and developed continuously in practice.
Xianlin Street, Qixia District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, where there were frequent letters and visits and frequent contradictions. There are not only high-grade residential areas, but also demolition and resettlement residential areas, well-known universities and many "five small industries" in the street jurisdiction, with diverse subjects and diverse objects, which brings great challenges to governance.
"Take the clothes and the collar, and lead the cow by the nose." Xianlin Street vigorously promotes party building to lead grassroots governance and thoroughly implements the "Five One Work Laws" — — "One flag" strengthens political guidance, "one net" weaves a dense organizational system, "one line method" promotes the sinking of cadres, "one family" gathers regional resources, and "one heart" works together with the party and the masses to do a good job of letters and visits, so that the masses can feel at ease.
The foundation is not firm, and the ground shakes. Grass-roots units are the foundation of the Party’s governance and the source of its strength. In 2021, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Strengthening the Modernization of Grass-roots Governance System and Governance Capacity, and made special arrangements for "improving the Party’s overall leadership of grass-roots governance system".
In recent years, all localities and departments have adhered to and developed the "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era, and have always regarded strengthening the party building at the grassroots level and consolidating the party’s ruling foundation as a red line running through social governance and grassroots construction.
In some places, the tentacles of party organizations are constantly extended to all corners of the jurisdiction by means of "grid party building", so that "things are done in the network, but it is difficult to solve them in the network";
In some places, in the form of "regional party building", government agencies, enterprises and institutions are jointly built with township (street) and village (community) party organizations to consolidate the ability to resolve conflicts and disputes on the spot in time;
Some places actively explore the normal and long-term mechanism for the sinking of cadres in party member, maintain close ties with the people in their jurisdictions, and find and solve problems in time;
In some places, Party organizations are embedded in modern property, which improves the participation efficiency of business entities in community public affairs and improves the happiness index of community residents with better property services … …
A big country is as big as a big country. A myriad of things, in the final analysis, are the business of thousands of families. The key to thoroughly practicing the "Fengqiao experience" in the new era and vigorously strengthening the construction of grass-roots party organizations is to adhere to and implement the party’s mass line well, and to solve the problems of the people’s urgent difficulties and worries with heart and affection.
In recent years, Beijing has innovated and carried out the reform of "Party building leading the handling of complaints". The secretary of the municipal party committee holds a monthly special meeting of the municipal party committee and a monthly work review meeting of the secretary of the district party committee (departmental party group). The secretary of the district party committee holds a monthly review meeting of the secretary of the street township party committee, and the secretary of the street township party committee directly dispatches the secretary of the village community party organization. The vast number of cadres in party member go to the grass-roots level, run work orders, go through the process, wait for the position, and turn around the front line, the masses and the problems. Nowadays, as long as the masses call 12345 to reflect the problem, someone will immediately respond and accept it, and strive to do it quickly and do it well.
Party building leads and gathers strength. Nowadays, in the fields, in the streets and alleys, and in the buildings of business districts, the party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal are fully exerted, and the party’s political advantages, organizational advantages and close ties with the masses are constantly transformed into grassroots governance effectiveness.
More highlight the thinking of the rule of law, and form a strong atmosphere of doing things according to law, finding ways to solve problems, and resolving contradictions by law.
Entering a new era, social governance is facing new challenges. How to adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era and resolve all kinds of contradictions and disputes with high quality?
The rule of law is the basic way of governing the country. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party put forward: "Promote multi-level and multi-field governance according to law and improve the level of legalization of social governance."
In 2022, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Regulations on Letters and Visits, which brought letters and visits into the track of legalization, and guided all localities and departments to persist in understanding problems with the rule of law and solving problems with the rule of law.
Nowadays, whether it is land acquisition, house demolition, labor relations mediation, residential property management, ecological environment protection and business environment optimization, the majority of cadres in party member insist on strengthening the use of the rule of law thinking and judging cases by the rule of law, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the people and maintaining social harmony and stability.
In a criminal complaint case of intentional injury in a certain place, in order to help the complainant solve the "knot" and repair the neighborhood relationship in the community, the procuratorial organ invited lawyers, mediators, representatives of street workers, etc. as hearing officers to hold a public hearing in the complainant’s community, and successfully stopped the complaint. In recent years, in order to reduce the complaint burden of petitioners, local procuratorial organs have vigorously promoted simple public hearings; At the same time, in order to allow the petitioners who are physically inconvenient or live in remote areas to participate in the public hearing, the procuratorial organs have also innovatively used the new form of "on-site hearing" to resolve the contradictions at the "doorstep" of the petitioners.
The construction of the rule of law should not only grasp the end, cure the disease, but also grasp the front end and cure the disease. Nowadays, many places are exploring and innovating, putting the non-litigation dispute resolution mechanism at the forefront, pushing more forces of the rule of law to exert force on the guidance and guidance end, and strengthening the source prevention, front-end resolution and control of contradictions and disputes.
Shanghai has built a unified platform for online and offline mediation work, set up non-litigation dispute resolution centers at the city and district levels, and hundreds of mediation organizations have settled in. Other mediation organizations and notarization, arbitration, administrative adjudication, administrative reconsideration and other institutions have settled in regularly to resolve conflicts.
Guangdong Province actively promotes commercial mediation. There are 330 commercial mediation organizations and 2,232 registered commercial mediators in the province, and 25,000 commercial disputes have been mediated since 2022.
Zhejiang courts have vigorously promoted the construction of "online diversified solution platform for contradictions and disputes", provided online consultation, mediation, litigation and other through-train services for the masses, and achieved "funnel-type" hierarchical filtering of contradictions and disputes, with a total of 3.276 million mediation disputes … …
As a legal system with China characteristics, people’s mediation plays a fundamental role in the diversified solution mechanism of contradictions and disputes. Statistics from the Ministry of Justice show that there are 693,000 people’s mediation committees in China, basically forming an organizational network covering urban and rural areas, key fields and key units. In 2022, the National People’s Mediation Organization mediated 14.94 million contradictions and disputes.
Wu Jingjing, director of the People’s Mediation Committee of Xiangyun Town, wen county City, Henan Province, has been engaged in mediation for 11 years. She said: "When people find me, they trust me. It is my goal to properly solve the troubles of the masses. "
In 2021, Wu Jingjing obtained the legal professional qualification certificate. In recent years, she has used her professional expertise to publicize legal knowledge, answer legal questions and write legal documents, and has received more than 2,800 legal consultations. "Mastering legal knowledge adds a kind of ability to do mass work. If it is reasonable and fair, the people will be convinced. " Wu Jingjing said.
Using the rule of law thinking, preventing contradictions at the source, and focusing on cultivating a profound rule of law culture. Everyone believes in Dharma, and everything is taught, so there are naturally fewer contradictions.
A unique mock trial was held in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, a demonstration training base for legal intellectuals. The protagonist of the trial was "legal intellectuals" who were mainly village cadres. In interpreting the law by case, "people who understand the law" gradually understand how to safeguard their rights and interests reasonably and legally. Since 2015, Chongren County, Fuzhou City has been exploring and cultivating a "legal understanding person" in the county, and the rural customs are one of the new ones.
Nowadays, the implementation of the rural (community) "people who understand the law" training project has been included in the national "Eighth Five-Year Plan". As of June this year, more than 3.83 million "people who know the law" have been trained nationwide, basically achieving full coverage of "people who know the law" in all administrative villages. They are like "seeds of the rule of law" sown. The concept of the rule of law, which is to act in accordance with the law, find ways to solve problems, and resolve contradictions by law, has taken root in rural grassroots, and the grassroots governance system combining autonomy, the rule of law and the rule of virtue has become more sound.
Give more prominence to the support of science and technology, and improve the grass-roots governance platform supported by grid management, refined service and information.
For the people, social governance should be good at combining the party’s fine traditions with new technologies and new means, and innovating mechanisms to benefit the people, do things for the people, and solve worries for the people.
"Someone in the community is grabbing a parking space with me, please deal with it quickly." A few days ago, Ms. Wu, who lives in Qinglongtan Community, Decheng District, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, reported a contradiction and dispute online through a small program in her mobile phone.
It turned out that Ms. Wu parked her car in a public parking space in the community, but neighbor Zhang Dage said that the parking space was occupied. The two men refused to give way to each other and had an argument. After receiving the situation report, the grid governance platform in Decheng District will send the order as soon as possible. The grid mediator immediately went to the scene to talk, reason and talk. In the end, things were settled properly and the two sides shook hands and made peace.
The unity of manpower and science and technology is one of the most distinctive features of the "Fengqiao Experience" today.
In recent years, in the process of adhering to and developing the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, many localities and departments have made full use of big data, cloud computing and other technologies to innovate the ways and means of grassroots governance, and made efforts to build a grassroots governance platform with perfect grid management, refined services and information support to make governance smarter and more efficient.
Kaifeng City, Henan Province has built a three-dimensional social governance supervision system with multi-network integration, realizing command, dispatch and verification anytime and anywhere, and greatly improving the efficiency of resolving contradictions and disputes;
The People’s Court of Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province has developed the "e-platform for good governance of Pufa", and through online mediation, conflicts and disputes can be resolved at any time.
Jimei district, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, built an online platform of "Smart Jimei" social governance command center to coordinate resources from all sides and respond to the demands of the masses in a timely and efficient manner & HELIP; …
The best way of social governance is to eliminate contradictions before they happen. The application of scientific and technological means not only improves the efficiency of resolving contradictions and disputes, but also enhances the ability of early warning, prediction and prevention, making urban and rural areas more peaceful and the people more at ease.
"Liu Shuji, the intelligent prevention and control system issued a fire warning, and the location is in Cao’s compound. Please go and understand the situation immediately, and we will arrive later." Not long ago, the intelligent prevention and control system of "Pingan Village Zhihui Huinong Family" in Guantian Police Office of Zhongyi Police Station of Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County Public Security Bureau in Chongqing issued an early warning message, and the police on duty contacted Liu Chengyong, secretary of the Party branch of Pingba Village in the jurisdiction for the first time.
After on-the-spot investigation, it was found that the wire of Cao, a villager in the jurisdiction, was short-circuited to ignite the firewood pile. Thanks to the timely warning of the intelligent prevention and control system, the relevant personnel arrived quickly and put out the fire source in the first time to avoid losses.
From early warning and containing a hidden danger to judging and deploying a class of problems, many places also use big data to analyze the overall situation and outstanding problems of public security in their jurisdictions and take targeted measures.
A phone call from the "police" made Ms. Li in xinqiao town, Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province nervous: for fear of involving a "very serious" economic case, Ms. Li went to a hotel in the county to "negotiate and solve" according to the other party’s prompt. Just as she downloaded the APP provided by the other party to prepare the transfer, the police of Xuyang Police Station of Rongxian Public Security Bureau rushed to the hotel and successfully prevented a telecom fraud.
What kind of people are easy to be deceived, and which area has more police situations … … Relying on the construction of public security big data application, Rongxian Public Security Bureau integrated the prevention of telecom fraud into grassroots governance, promoted the construction of "Skynet" and the creation of "smart community", quickly checked and accurately judged the clues of key personnel involved in fraud, and promptly reminded and dissuaded the deceived people.
Nowadays, similar intelligent platforms and intelligent terminals are widely used. Through the digitalization and informatization of the actual situation and various business work in the jurisdiction, a series of models are constructed, a series of indicators are set, and the dynamic monitoring, judgment and analysis of various potential risks are strengthened. The ability of early warning, command and dispatch and closed-loop disposal of social contradictions is effectively improved, and efforts are made to realize the transformation from "contradictions are not handed over" to "contradictions occur less and do not occur".
Pay more attention to social participation and improve the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing.
Nowadays, when you walk into Fengqiao Town, you can always see a group of people wearing red vests, walking around the streets, asking questions with the masses and helping them solve problems. Although they are different in age and occupation, they have a common name — — Red maple vigilante.
Since the establishment of "Hongfeng Volunteer Police" in 2017, the volunteer team has been growing all over the administrative villages of Fengqiao Town, helping to carry out public security patrols, legal publicity, dispute mediation and other work, and has been called the "new police force" of Fengqiao by the masses.
Grass-roots affairs are very complicated, so we can’t just rely on government departments. We must give full play to the role of all aspects of society and stimulate the vitality of the whole society. We should consult with the masses more about their affairs and everyone should participate in their affairs.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all localities and departments have insisted on being upright and innovative, paid more attention to social participation, and further improved the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing.
In some places, party member has played an exemplary role, promoting in-service party member to report to the grid party branch, taking the lead in participating in community governance, carrying out volunteer service, and implementing promises and promises;
Some places give full play to the advantages of being close to the masses and familiar with the situation, such as grid workers and security guards, vigilantes, Xinxiang Xian, "five old people" (retired veteran cadres, veterans, experts, teachers, old models, etc.) and Ping An volunteers, extend their work tentacles and improve the effect of preventing and resolving contradictions and disputes;
In some places, measures such as the "points system" reward and the selection of building leaders are adopted to stimulate the enthusiasm of the masses to participate in grassroots governance, and the masses are widely mobilized to carry out voluntary service activities such as infrastructure management and protection, public security patrol prevention, conflict resolution, safety hazard investigation, and care for special people;
In some places, the market mechanism is used to guide market players and social organizations to take advantage of their professional advantages and participate in resolving conflicts and disputes … …
Nowadays, a group of prevention and treatment teams, such as "Chaoyang people" in Beijing and "alley housekeeper" in Tianjin, have continued to grow and develop, and a social governance community with everyone’s responsibility, everyone’s responsibility and everyone’s enjoyment has been gradually established.
Social participation should not only gather wisdom and strength, but also listen to the voice of the people and conform to public opinion.
"What are your opinions and suggestions on environmental improvement" and "What are the problems in industrial development" … … As night falls, in the central village of Yelaowu, Liangting Township, Huaining County, Anhui Province, the cadres and the masses sit on a stool together, talking about their parents’ shortcomings and seeking common prosperity in the countryside, thus opening a "village night talk".
Huaining County actively promotes the normalization and long-term effect of "village night talk", and the majority of party member cadres insist on visiting relatives and chatting among villagers, collecting village conditions and public opinions, and listening to opinions and suggestions, so that villagers can "play the leading role" in rural governance. Since the beginning of this year, "Village Nighttalk" has been held in 232 local villages (communities) for more than 1,400 times.
The people are the "source of living water" for grassroots social governance. Only by mobilizing the enthusiasm and initiative of the broad masses of the people to the greatest extent can we form the greatest synergy of grassroots social governance.
Haikou City, Hainan Province set up a "community discussion hall", Chongqing promoted "courtyard autonomy" in rural neighborhood disputes, and Yueyang City, Hunan Province carried out "judging right from wrong" … … In the process of adhering to and developing the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, all localities have promoted civil discussion, civil administration and civil administration, effectively guiding public opinion, rallying people’s hearts, promoting the prevention and resolution of contradictions and disputes, and forming a vivid situation in which everyone participates, everyone tries their best and everyone has a sense of accomplishment.
On the way forward, all localities will comprehensively study and implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, make unremitting efforts, and continue to write a bright chapter of the "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era, so as to enrich the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security, and create a stable, United, harmonious and stable social environment for promoting Chinese modernization.
