in the autumn morning light, a shuttle bus drove into the camp of a brigade of the 74th group army. duan congcong, a cadre of the brigade's political work department, got off the bus and had a brief conversation with his colleagues, then went directly to the repair camp without going to the office building. according to the work plan, he was to organize a symposium for officers and soldiers in the camp that day to listen to feedback from the grassroots on the development of political work during the field training, and widely solicit opinions and suggestions on "innovation of political work methods under dynamic conditions."

during the interview, the reporter learned that the brigade, based on the summary of previous experience, continues to follow the mass line of the new era. the cadres of the party committee have strengthened their relationship with grassroots officers and soldiers by integrating into the grassroots, and have honed their ability to build and build by working with the grassroots to solve problems, effectively improving the level of grassroots governance.

arriving at the repair company of the battalion, duan congcong carefully read the duty log at the gate post, asked the sentry about the relevant situation, and then went straight to the second floor. in the equipment room, after checking the field cultural equipment that needed to be carried on the mission, he randomly walked into the dormitory of the third squad and talked with the soldiers about the organization of field cultural activities.

"in the past, in order to understand the feedback from the grassroots, the agency was accustomed to distributing questionnaires and collecting reports. this single working method not only failed to fully understand the voices of the officers and soldiers, but also increased the workload for the grassroots." duan congcong told reporters that now, they are more concerned about the work from the perspective of the grassroots, and strive to do the work more meticulously and thoroughly. in many cases, the agency adopts the "four no and two direct" method to go directly to specific points and randomly find officers and soldiers to understand the situation, which not only avoids interfering with daily work, but also can grasp first-hand data and find out the real situation.

"grasping the grassroots situation is the basic prerequisite for the organs to plan work and deploy tasks. only when the organs have a thorough understanding of the actual situation at the grassroots level, can the guidance and assistance be more targeted." a leader of the brigade introduced that they have always advocated the fundamental style of adhering to the mass line at all levels. when encountering difficult problems, they fully rely on, trust and mobilize the officers and soldiers. they consciously ask for advice from the officers and soldiers, pool wisdom from the officers and soldiers, and seek solutions from the officers and soldiers. they use their good style and image to unite the officers and soldiers, and form a joint force from top to bottom to promote work. the overall construction of the brigade has seen gratifying changes.

the good work style of the cadres not only builds a good image for themselves, but also further boosts the morale of the grassroots officers and soldiers. the reporter found in the interview that the officers and soldiers pay close attention to the construction and development of the unit, especially the regular work of the company, and the officers and soldiers are very enthusiastic about participating. when encountering problems, they are willing to make suggestions and solve them with wisdom.

in the dormitory of the second platoon of the communications company, several backbones are carefully reading the company construction situation analysis report. according to wu yifu, a cadre of the company, after each construction situation analysis, the company party branch will issue the resulting written report to the squads and platoons. the squad leaders and backbones will work with the soldiers to make suggestions and come up with countermeasures for the existing problems and deficiencies. finally, they sorted out and summarized the suggestions by platoon and reported them to the party branch for research. after repeated revisions and improvements, the report is more scientific, and each squad receives tasks based on it and implements them according to the division of labor and time limit.

it was lunch time, and the reporter saw in the canteen of the maintenance battalion that the closed-circuit television was playing the "battle blue micro video". in the video, first sergeant zhang renyong was performing equipment maintenance while explaining the operating essentials to his comrades. zhou yu, a cadre of the brigade, told reporters that the "battle blue micro video" is broadcast every two weeks, and the material is mainly selected from the footage of the daily training and life of grassroots officers and soldiers. after regular summaries by the relevant departments of the headquarters, the content is edited and processed according to the subject demonstration, equipment support, and advanced figures, and then broadcast on the closed-circuit television.

"officers and soldiers with expertise in photography and videography in each battalion and company actively participated, which not only provided teaching materials for the brigade's training, but also created a good atmosphere for learning from and catching up with role models." zhou yu said that they carefully selected relevant videos collected and shot by grassroots officers and soldiers. some of them became auxiliary teaching materials for backbone training and new platoon leader training, and some were included in the brigade's political education database.

in the meeting room of the maintenance company, liu xinyu, a cadre of the brigade, was guiding the company to carry out party and league activities. during this time, he could not only accurately call out the names of the party members and backbones, but also be familiar with each comrade's job, profession, hobbies, specialties and advantages. "now, we are not only familiar with each other's situation, but also the officers and soldiers will take the initiative to ask for help from cadres at all levels when they are confused or encounter difficulties. the positive interaction brings each other closer." liang xiaohui, a cadre of the company, said that cadres ask soldiers for advice when they encounter problems, and the grassroots can get help in time when they have difficulties. the opinions and suggestions of officers and soldiers are taken seriously. everyone pays more attention to collective construction and actively participates in it. in overcoming difficulties, internal relations have been further strengthened and comradeship has been strengthened.

the military camp is full of new winds and new scenes. the more in-depth the interview, the more the reporter was impressed by the series of changes in the brigade.

the branch meetings and decisions incorporate the wisdom of the officers and soldiers. before the introduction of new measures and new systems related to the work and life of the officers and soldiers, the brigade headquarters fully respected the dominant position of the grassroots officers and soldiers, and insisted on listening to the grassroots voices and soliciting suggestions through multiple channels such as conversations and on-site visits.

in the education classroom, soldiers are invited to take the stage to "be the protagonists". when organizing activities such as "strengthening the army story club" and "soldiers' lecture hall" at all levels, soldiers are invited to the podium and stand in the center to share their own experiences and tell stories around them, so as to strengthen the conscious awareness of "i participate in company affairs and everyone is the master".

more "officers and soldiers elements" were incorporated into the construction of the camp. during work, they invited officers and soldiers to participate in designing the camp window display boards, making propaganda slogans, naming the camp roads, and launching the "i write the lyrics and i compose the music" activity around the collection of brigade songs, so that officers and soldiers can strengthen their sense of collective honor through participation.

go down to work, build up your image; work together to seek development. from taking on too much responsibility to pooling resources, from checking soldiers' situation in reports to understanding soldiers' minds, from work planning agencies having the final say to everyone actively participating in making suggestions... listing the new changes one by one, a leader of the brigade told reporters: "practice has proved that only by being good at listening to soldiers' complaints, whispers, and polite words, and understanding their needs and responsibilities, and by influencing and driving the grassroots with a pragmatic style of 'taking off shoes and going to the fields' and practical actions, can we gather a powerful force to promote construction and development."

"the grassroots are like mirrors, and the soldiers' hearts are like scales. the grassroots are the end of implementation. when encountering difficulties, we insist on relying on officers and soldiers to implement them, and we have grasped the root." duan congcong introduced that at present, they have adopted measures such as setting up suggestion boxes in the camp, building service stations, and opening online comment columns to further broaden the channels for soldiers to interact with each other, and at the same time strengthen system construction, and try to establish a mechanism for smooth expression of suggestions, analysis and judgment of problems, and joint planning and solving problems, so that good traditions can be more powerful in the fertile soil of the grassroots.

short review

"take off your shoes and go to the fields" to rally the soldiers' morale

■li hao

the mass line is the lifeline and fundamental working line of our party. for the people's army, adhering to the fundamental style of the mass line is not only an inherent requirement for enhancing the effectiveness of political work, but also an important magic weapon for the army to defeat the enemy and move from victory to victory. only by firmly establishing the concept of the masses and always coming from the officers and soldiers and going to the officers and soldiers can we keep the vitality of political work and continue to carry forward the fine traditions of our army's political work in the relay inheritance.

the ancients said: "if you can use the power of the masses, you will be invincible in the world; if you can use the wisdom of the masses, you will not be afraid of the saints." the grassroots are rich in wisdom and strength. respecting the dominant position and pioneering spirit of officers and soldiers, and fully mobilizing their enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity, all aspects of work will have a continuous source of motivation. to this end, planning and implementing work should mobilize officers and soldiers to find ways and offer good advice, carry forward the three major democracies of politics, economy, and military, "take off shoes and go to the fields" to ask for advice from soldiers, gather wisdom and strength, and further tap the kinetic energy of grassroots governance.

relying on soldiers to gather strength, we should also strengthen the service concept and win the trust of soldiers with sincerity, true feelings, and real help. in the work, all levels should consider the difficulties of the grassroots from a practical perspective, and find ways to reflect, coordinate, solve, and explain the problems that soldiers strongly reflect and the grassroots are unable to solve. we should really go deep into the front line to get down to earth, bend down to observe the facts, help and guide wholeheartedly, and build a "concentric circle" of joint efforts to overcome difficulties.
