In the TV series "County Party Committee Compound", Sanbao played by Ren Chengwei is undoubtedly an eye-catching supporting role. His image is like a grassroots cadre who has come out of reality, bringing the audience into the complex world of grassroots governance. Sambo's first impression is that of an experienced and capable grassroots worker, but if you look closely, you will find that he has both admirable traits and frowning flaws.
There is no doubt about the abilities of the Three Jewels. He is well versed in the situation at the grassroots level and is able to skillfully deal with various contradictions and problems. However, he always put the interests of Shangling Village first, and although this stance reflects his sense of responsibility to the villagers, it also leads him to often adopt a protective attitude when facing problems.
As shown in the play, whether it is right or wrong, Sanbao will always take the interests of Shangling Village as the first priority, so he has done a lot of things to protect the calves. When dealing with problems, Sambo's eyes often shimmer with shrewdness, and his words are always just right, not to offend his superiors, but also to benefit the village.
But attentive viewers will find that under his peaceful appearance, there is a complex inner world, full of helplessness and compromise on grassroots governance. The two-sided nature of the three treasures is reflected many times in the play.
For example, in the case of the flange factory pollution incident, he had to consider the economic development of the village, but could not completely ignore the environmental issues; In the fireside night talk incident, he skillfully opposed Li Laiyou's approach, but he did not show any traces.
This way of dealing with things in a left-right way is precisely the practical dilemma faced by many grassroots cadres. However, Sambo's way of doing things also poses problems. During the illegal logging incident in Changling Village, he turned a blind eye for a long time, until the problem was so serious that he had to face it, and then he realized that he had fallen into a dilemma.
The image of Sambo is neither a flawless hero nor a heinous villain. He is a flesh-and-blood grassroots cadre who struggles to find a balance in the midst of complex realities.
Through the Three Treasures, we have seen the difficulties and complexities of grassroots governance, and also given us a deeper understanding of the situation of grassroots cadres.
At the beginning of "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee", we have seen the clever way of dealing with problems with the three treasures. The issue of pollution in the flange factory has become a thorny issue, and Sambo has shown his resourcefulness and ability to weigh things as a grassroots cadre. The cause of the incident was that the pollution problem of the flange factory attracted the attention of the superiors.
Faced with this situation, Sambo did not inspect it directly, but adopted an ingenious strategy. He arranged for Baogen and other villagers to petition, which seemed to reflect the problem, but in fact it was a hidden mystery.
Sample has a clear aim: to give the green light to the flange factory so that it can continue to operate without the pollution problem getting completely out of control. He carefully arranged the "chance encounter" between Baogen and Mei Xiaoge, trying to alleviate the conflict in this way.
This arrangement is so ingenious that even the experienced Li Laiyou is kept in the dark. In this process, Sample seems to be actively reflecting the problem on the surface, but in fact it is secretly fighting for the interests of the flange factory.
In this way, he hopes that the superiors will not be too strict in their investigation of the pollution problem, and give the flange factory some breathing space. This approach of Sambo reflects his dilemma as a grassroots cadre.
On the one hand, he needs to respond to his superiors' concerns about environmental issues; On the other hand, he could not ignore the importance of the flange factory to the local economic development. In this case, he chose a compromise plan that would not offend his superiors and gain space for the village's economic development.
This incident fully demonstrated the political wisdom and ability of the Three Treasures. Rather than adopting a direct confrontation or passive attitude, he tried to find a balance between environmental protection and economic development through clever arrangements.
This kind of handling is exactly the strategy that many grassroots cadres often adopt when faced with complex problems. However, this approach of the Three Treasures also raises the question: is it possible to ignore the more important issue of environmental protection in the pursuit of balance? This question may be exactly what the screenwriter wants to provoke the audience to think.
As the plot deepens, Sanbao in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee" once again shows his wisdom and skill as a grassroots cadre, this time when dealing with Li Laiyou's "Fireside Night Talk" activity.
Li Laiyou, played by Yu Wentong, as a cadre who is very happy, launched a fireside night talk activity. His intentions may have been good, and he wanted to make some achievements that made a name for himself. However, this activity caused a lot of complaints from the people below, which completely went against the original intention of the fireside chat. In the face of this situation, Sambo has shown great political wisdom.
He knew that direct opposition might offend Li Laiyou, so he chose a roundabout way to solve the problem. Sanbao seized an opportunity - heavy rain weather, and took the opportunity to have a rare close contact with Mei Xiaoge.
In this contact, Sanbao skillfully exposed the problems of the "Fireside Night Chat" activity. He did not directly criticize or accuse, but made Mei Xiaoge himself realize the seriousness of the problem by describing the actual situation.
This method not only avoids direct conflict with Li Laiyou, but also achieves the purpose of solving the problem. Mei Xiaoge, played by Hu Ge, decisively stopped the fireside night chat after learning the truth.
This outcome is exactly what Sambo wants to see, but on the surface, it doesn't seem like he's directly involved. Sanbao's approach can be described as extremely ingenious: he took people to rescue Mei Xiaoge trapped in the mountains, let the villagers who went up the mountain have a meal, and even stopped the villagers who wanted to express their dissatisfaction.
This series of behaviors seems to be doing good deeds, but in fact, they are secretly promoting the solution of the problem. The best thing is that even if Li Lai realized that this might be Sanbao operating behind his back, he couldn't say anything.
Because on the surface, all of the actions of the Three Jewels are beyond reproach. This way of dealing with the problem not only solves the practical problem, but also maintains the face of all parties, and reflects the superb skill of Sam Bao as a grassroots cadre.
Sambo's performance in this incident fully demonstrated his political wisdom. He did not directly oppose the decision of his superiors, but by creating opportunities, the problem naturally surfaced.
This approach not only avoids head-on conflicts, but also achieves the goal of solving problems, which can be said to be a model of grassroots work. However, this approach also raises a question worth pondering: Is it always necessary to solve problems in such a roundabout way in grassroots governance? Is direct communication and being open about problems also a possible option? This may be the deep question that the screenwriter wants to arouse the audience's thinking through the role of Sambo.
As the plot progresses, Sanbao in "County Party Committee Compound" faces a more thorny problem - the illegal logging incident in Changling Village.
This problem not only exposed Sambo's tendency to protect his shortcomings as a grassroots cadre, but also pushed him into a dilemma. In fact, the problem of illegal logging in Changling Village has been around for a long time.
As a grassroots cadre, Sam Bao has always taken a blind eye to this issue. He may have considered that many of these villagers were his relatives, and that logging was also a source of livelihood for the villagers.
However, this tacit attitude eventually led to more serious consequences. The situation worsened when the villagers' logging actions smashed power lines, causing widespread power outages.
Not only that, but the long-term logging activities have also led to damage to the road surface. This series of problems finally attracted the attention of the superiors, and they decided to investigate the matter strictly and hold them accountable.
Faced with this situation, Sambo's handling once again showed his characteristics. At the meeting, he repeatedly stressed the objective difficulties, but could not come up with any practical solutions. What's even more interesting is that when Lin Zhiwei, played by Zhang Xincheng, wanted to give an opinion, San Bao immediately interrupted him.
The consideration behind this behavior is that Sam Po is worried that Lin Zhiwei may come up with some effective solutions, and if these plans are adopted by his superiors, then Sam Po will have to carry them out, which will put him in an awkward position.
However, the development of events was beyond the control of the Three Jewels. When the investigation team found the homes of the villagers who had logged the trees, a question of historical legacy surfaced. It turned out that the reason why these villagers were so bold in logging was because when the land was expropriated, the government promised that they could use the trees from the back mountain as compensation.
But then the policy changed, and that promise was not properly addressed, which eventually led to the current situation. In the face of this complex situation, Sambo's attitude is even more dilemma.
On the one hand, he needs to face pressure from his superiors, and on the other hand, he is unwilling to completely offend the villagers. In this case, Sambo has chosen a rather risky approach. In front of everyone, he handed a message to the villagers of Changling Village, telling them: "If you don't steal, you don't steal, if you don't cut down the tree, you don't cut the tree, if you steal, the public security will look for you and carry it yourself."
The implication of these words is very obvious: Sam Bao is suggesting to the villagers that if they can insist on denying it, the problem may not be too big, and he may also help to deal with it. But if the villagers admit to breaking the law, then even if the Three Jewels want to take refuge, there is nothing they can do.
Although this practice of the Three Treasures may help the villagers avoid punishment in the short term, it is actually taking advantage of the loopholes of the law, which is undoubtedly a dangerous behavior.
Instead of addressing the root cause, it may encourage violations of the law, which can ultimately lead to more serious consequences. This incident fully exposed the limitations of Sambao as a grassroots cadre.
He has focused too much on safeguarding local interests and personal networks, while neglecting greater social responsibility and legal constraints. At the same time, it also reflects some deep-seated problems in grassroots governance, such as how to deal with problems left over from history, and how to balance development and environmental protection.
As the illegal logging incident in Changling Village continued to ferment, Sanbao found himself in an unprecedented predicament.
He realized that if his superiors really made up their minds to investigate the matter thoroughly, then both buyers and sellers could be caught in the net. This realization made Sambo's face appear with deep worry.
Sambo began to reflect on what he had been doing for a long time. His attitude of turning a blind eye and always trying to fight with the mud and forcibly protect the calves may temporarily calm things in the village in the short term, but they have buried a greater hidden danger.
Now, these problems have accumulated to the point where they have to be faced. This dilemma is not only a personal problem for Sambao, but also reflects the complexity of grassroots governance.
As a grassroots cadre, Sam Bao needs to find a balance between the requirements of the superiors, the interests of the villagers, and the law. Every decision he makes may affect the interests of many parties, and this kind of pressure is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Through the experience of the Three Treasures, we have seen the real dilemma faced by grassroots cadres. They need to find a balance between defending local interests and implementing higher-level policies, a process fraught with challenges and pressures.
The story of the Three Treasures has given us a deeper understanding and reflection on grassroots governance. This case also reminds us that grassroots governance needs to be more standardized and legalized.
Only by establishing a sound system can individuals avoid being caught in a dilemma when dealing with problems. At the same time, it is also necessary for higher-level departments to pay more attention to and solve the practical difficulties at the grassroots level, rather than simply issuing targets and requirements.
Only in this way can we truly achieve the benign development of grassroots governance.
