A remarkable style of Chen Yun's leadership work is to proceed from reality in everything and seek truth from facts. To achieve this, he believes that the most important thing is to make the actual situation clear, to do a good job in investigation and study, and to ensure that policy decisions are always based on facts and on an objective basis.
He said to his comrades:
"All correct policies are based on a scientific analysis of the actual situation. Some comrades, on the other hand, are busy deciding this and deciding that every day, and rarely investigate and study the actual situation. This method of work must change. This may seem fast, but it may actually be slower due to the constant change after decision making. It should be noted that one-sidedness always comes from being too busy deciding policies and neglecting to study the actual situation. ”
He said:
"In the past, we have made many mistakes, and the most important reason for this is that we look at the one-sided nature of the problem and regard the one-sided reality as a comprehensive reality."
In the years of revolutionary practice activities, Chen Yun practiced what he preached and summed up and formed a set of relatively complete and scientific investigation methods. To put it simply, it is Chen Yun often said, "Investigation and research must break the casserole and ask the end."
How to "end up"? Chen Yun believes that there are two methods that work:
One is to personally lead the working group or send the working group to the countryside and the factory to investigate, so as to hear various opinions and reactions;
One is to establish fixed and long-term contacts with close friends who dare to tell the truth and those who have worked around them, so that the real voices of grass-roots cadres and the masses can be often heard.
