"Without investigation, there is no right to speak, let alone decision-making power." Following the practical footsteps and ideological guidance of the General Secretary, CCTV's "Idiom Reading" specially planned "Xi Jinping's Way to Success", taking you from the people's leaders. Learn and comprehend the general secretary's style of governing the country from the charm of language and working methods.
Insisting on proceeding from reality is the starting point and foothold for us to think about problems, make decisions, and do things. Investigation and research is the key to going deep into reality, understanding reality, better discovering problems, and solving problems.
At the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) in the fall semester of 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that to understand the reality, one must master the basic skills of investigation and research. It is necessary not only to "enter" the grassroots, but also to "heart" to the grassroots, to listen to the truth, to observe the truth, to really study the problems and study the real problems.

Enter the game with a bow and take responsibility, only then can there be hope for success. In the investigation and research, the expression of the deep and progressive relationship between "body in" and "heart in" vividly reflects the general secretary's methodological exposition and the essence of his thoughts on the investigation and research work.
"Personal entry" is the premise of doing a good job of investigation and research. The purpose is to go among the masses and grasp a large number of first-hand, intuitive and vivid real situations in detail. And "heart to heart" is the key to doing a good job of investigation and research. It is not only necessary to have true feelings for the people, but also to work hard on in-depth analysis and thinking, from the outside to the inside, to find the essence and laws of things, and to find solutions to problems. ideas and methods.
Solving real difficulties, relieving long-term difficulties, and working hard to seek accuracy and effectiveness are the consistent goals of General Secretary Xi Jinping's investigation and research.
On February 3, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yuangudui Village, Weiyuan County, Gansu Province. In the adobe house of the villager Ma Gang's house, the general secretary scooped up a ladle of water from the water tank at the base of the wall and tasted it. The taste of the brackish water made him frown. He said to the villagers: "The party and the government will care about and help you. Let's work together to make life more prosperous."
After tasting the bitter taste of salt water, the general secretary empathized with the real life difficulties of the local people, and urged the responsible comrades of the local and accompanying relevant departments to "put the people's livelihood first and water control first." Since then, the construction of the "Tao Yin Project" that has benefited millions of people in Gansu has accelerated, and the work of targeted poverty alleviation in Yuangudui Village has gradually begun, and sweet tap water has flowed into every household.
The visit to Yuangudui Village is just a microcosm of General Secretary Xi Jinping's daily investigation and research, which seeks depth, detail, and truth. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Liangjiahe Village in Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province, Desheng Village in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, Sanhe Village in Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province, and Fengnanyuan Village in Huozhou City, Shanxi Province... For more than a decade, many villages They all left the footprints of the general secretary's investigation and investigation.
"Looking at it, I have a little bottom in my heart", which expresses the general secretary's working principles and inner adherence to "entering" the grassroots, but also "hearing" the grassroots.
As the leader of a major country leading the struggle of more than 1.4 billion people, General Secretary Xi Jinping still finds time to go among the masses and understand their ailments and worries. Lift the lid of the pot to see what the people eat, touch the bedding to see if it is thin, see if the bathroom can be flushed, ask how much the drug expenses of the hypertensive patient are reimbursed... feel every detail of the life of the people, and carefully calculate every "account book" ", clarify the key ideas to solve the problem.
"What else do the masses need, what else can we do?" has always been the starting point and end point of General Secretary Xi Jinping's investigation and research. Looking back at the general secretary's grassroots work experience, it is not difficult to find that insisting on conducting investigations and researches based on reality is his consistent work style.
During his more than three years in Zhengding, Hebei, Xi Jinping traveled to 25 towns and 221 villages in the county; in Ningde, Fujian, he visited 9 counties within three months after taking office; Throughout the province's 90 counties and urban areas...
Only in-depth practice and investigation and research can we find out the truth and the whole picture of the matter, discard the dross and select the essence, discard the false and keep the true, grasp the essence and laws of the problem, come up with ideas and methods to solve the problem, and truly "enter" the grassroots and "heart" the grassroots , Unity of knowledge and action.
Without investigation, there is no right to speak, let alone decision-making power. Investigation and research, connecting the original intention and action, linking information and decision-making, linking the party's heart and the people's heart, is the foundation of planning and the way to get things done.
Just like what Xi Jinping often said when he was working in Zhejiang: "If you don't eat pears, how do you know the taste of pears?" As he once emphasized when working in Ningde City, Fujian Province: "Don't be afraid of the questions raised by the masses. Don’t avoid it, you must go deep into the grassroots to discover problems, face them, and solve them.”
