"Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh". The group wanted to start with the two Fuzhou delicacies of chicken soup and sea clams and Buddha jumping wall, and continue to see with the team members what changes have taken place in the city when Xi Jinping was the secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee.
Things should be done according to its laws
Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the transformation of all aspects of Fuzhou City, and can make overall planning and layout.
Regarding urban transformation, he gave a vivid example: Fuzhou has two very famous dishes. One is chicken soup with sea mussels, fresh sea mussels poured on chicken soup, you must eat immediately, otherwise it will be old, not delicious; one is Buddha jumping off the wall, this dish should be simmered for several hours on low heat, can not be eaten in a hurry. Therefore, we do a lot of things according to its laws. Sometimes we can only lay the foundation and can't be in a hurry; sometimes we have to race against the clock and slow down.
Xi Jinping believes that transformation must not damage the environment. Environmental protection is the "core" and can never be ignored. Inland river systems must be well protected. Road planning and green space must be left in abundance. Also pay attention to the rationality of planning, do not take up all the space. It is necessary to leave wealth and development space for future generations.
In the middle and lower reaches of the Fujian Minjiang River and along the coastal area of Fuzhou, for thousands of years there have been some "people" who take boats as their home. When Xi Jinping came to Fuzhou, there were dozens of "yan people" who were not used to living ashore and often ran back. But the typhoon came, and their boats couldn't resist at all. Xi Jinping asked cadres to conscientiously do ideological work for the masses and explain clearly the government's arrangements for them.
Later, the government "paid" all the resettlement costs of the "poor people" and arranged public housing provided by the Housing Authority. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping, the government has also arranged some work within its ability for the "people" who have been fishing for generations, such as security guards, cleaners, traffic counselors and so on. Slowly, the "people" were integrated into the lives of ordinary citizens, and there was no concept of a boat as a home.
Xi Jinping has also paid great attention to solving the problem of resettlement of laid-off workers. He proposed that there are many laid-off workers in Fuzhou, and the government should facilitate their re-employment. Xi Jinping has also waived all tuition and miscellaneous fees and book fees for the children of laid-off workers.
During Xi Jinping's tenure as secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, he visited the people in need every festival. For this kind of help, Xi Jinping has also had some specific guidance. He said that some cadres made their own decisions and brought supplements to difficult households, and people's stomachs were not yet full, what supplements to eat? Therefore, to solve the problem of special hardship households, it is not to look at it once, bring something, and the media will complete the task as soon as it is reported. Government support is a matter of course, but at the same time, it is also necessary to guide them to re-employment and help the special hardship households out of their predicament.
Controlling table pollution is also a key task grasped by Xi Jinping. At that time, some restaurants had very poor sanitary conditions. Xi Jinping said that whether the people eat is hygienic or not is not a small matter, it is a fatal thing. Cleaning tableware should strictly implement health standards, strict inspection, and be in place. The source of the food must be reliable, and in the event that a customer has eaten poisoning, the source of the food must be traceable. Moreover, every merchant must do a good job of fume transformation in accordance with environmental protection standards. These formulations were very advanced at the time.
Transforming the "Paper Paste Fuzhou City"
In 1987, the people's evaluation of Fuzhou still has "paper paste Fuzhou City". Because at that time, there were successive shantytowns in Fuzhou, so tattered that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow the whole house away. Due to the small space in the house, it is hot and stuffy in the summer, men, women and children can only set up a table at the door to eat, and many men take a bath on the side of the road bare-chested. On the other hand, most of the houses in shantytowns are made of fir planks, thin and flammable, and once burned, the fire spreads very quickly, often causing casualties among the people.
Therefore, after Xi Jinping came to Fuzhou, he immediately began to grasp the transformation of shantytowns. He instructed local cadres that the renovated house should be fully functional and easy to use, especially with a bathroom. Xi Jinping told the cadres involved in the transformation: "Don't be afraid to contact the masses, don't be afraid of them making demands. The demands of the masses are not high, they are all things that seek truth from facts, and it is enough to help them solve them within the scope of the policy. He also proposed "local resettlement" and opposed the practice of relocating ordinary people and bringing in wealthy people.
Xi Jinping's consideration is: of course, everyone likes the icing on the cake, but we should send charcoal in the process of transforming the old city, or do the icing on the cake in the future.
Of course, shantytown transformation will face many difficulties, the first of which is insufficient funds. Therefore, Xi Jinping used the leverage of municipal financial funds to leverage the shantytown transformation project. After the money was more, Xi Jinping instructed the cadres: spend money on the people, do not "cut and search", what should be taken care of should be taken care of, and the money should be spent on the blade.
During the transition period of demolition and relocation, the problems to be dealt with are also complicated. Xi Jinping also demanded: During the transition period, the government must provide transitional housing to the people. Demolitions must not displace people. If there is a relative or friend, he should be provided with a transition fee. Two years later, the transition fee will be doubled. Xi Jinping also thought about the issue of education, demanding that the matter of children's reading should not be delayed because of demolition. If the schools in the transitional resettlement areas of the demolished households are not ideal, their children must be allowed to return to their places of origin to study.
In the process of demolition, some ordinary people also proposed excessive compensation. For example, an old merchant in his 80s. He deals in kitchen knives and has been awarded the title of "Traditional Kitchen Knives" by the Ministry of Commerce. He resolutely refused to move, nor did he believe in the government's proposed conditions for compensation for demolition. The staff said to him: "Secretary Xi has requirements, we can't not talk about credit, and I will guarantee you all the commitments of the government." This finally won his trust, and things went relatively smoothly later.
Xi Jinping also instructed the cadres responsible for demolition and relocation not to do work with selfish intentions, to establish a sound supervision mechanism, and the "seven aunts and eight aunts" of local cadres should be included in the scope of supervision. Every demolition household must be publicized, whether it is a special hardship household or a five-guarantee household, it must also be publicized, and the people can only count after approval.
"Rest assured, they will do it"
In the eyes of the cadres who work with him, Xi Jinping has a great art of leadership. He demanded that cadres should never talk to the masses in an official manner and try to be realistic, but they should not be too earthy when talking to intellectuals, and they should be able to communicate with others after thinking.
Once, Xi Jinping went to the shantytowns that had not yet been transformed to investigate and solicit the opinions of the people. The people bluntly reflected many problems, which made the cadres standing next to them feel very embarrassed. But Xi Jinping said to the people: "Rest assured, they will do it, they will do it." His words made the cadres very comfortable to listen to. On the other hand, if you say to the cadres, "Have you heard the cries of the masses," the people will easily point the spearhead of the problem at other cadres, and the cadres will certainly feel very uncomfortable.
Xi Jinping is lenient and strict with cadres, caring for and caring for cadres, and strict requirements. He often said, "If you want to be an official, don't want to get rich, you can't have both fish and bear paws." Since you are eating the bowl of rice of civil servants, you must consider this matter well. "In his work, Xi Jinping will often convey some new ideas and new ideas to everyone through the meeting. He spoke very carefully, very realistically, would help everyone to think about it, and give some guidance. Although he has high requirements for cadres, he will fully foresee the difficulties and give necessary support.
Xi Jinping's explanation of what cadres do has never been an underground order with a split head and a face, but a calm and calm way. In some places that are not done well, he will not come up and criticize them, but will analyze them bit by bit and tell the cadres what they should do. If the work is done well, he will first give credit to the grass-roots cadres.
In 2001, Xi Jinping, who was already the governor of Fujian Province, visited Fuzhou New Town, and the people could not finish their words of thanks. They said: "Governor Xi, you have done a good job in the transformation of the old city, our ancestors have been looking forward to a good living environment for generations, and today it has finally been realized!" Xi Jinping replied: "This is all the credit of grassroots cadres!" Hearing these words, the hearts of the grass-roots cadres around them were warm.
