Working in the countryside, we found a phenomenon: some village cadres are fully capable of solving things well. The masses do not look for village cadres, but for the main leaders of villages and towns, even the county party secretary and county magistrate. This phenomenon deserves great attention. This shows that the distance between village cadres and the masses is widening and trust is in crisis. In the long run, it will not only affect the stability of rural development, but also affect the image and work enthusiasm of village cadres. Effectively resolving the "trust crisis" between village cadres and the masses has become a brand-new topic faced by party organizations at all levels.
First, the main manifestations of the masses' distrust of village cadres
Why do people distrust village cadres? The analysis shows that there are five situations: first, questioning the moral quality of village cadres. Some people think that the current national policies are all good, but they are unfair in the distribution of interests involving the masses. Existence is determined by close relationship. Good relations are low-income households, special care households and relief households. If the relationship is not good, no matter how difficult it is, it can only "stand aside." The second is to question the ability and quality of village cadres. Now many people work outside the home all the year round. While working, they learned knowledge and increased their knowledge. After returning home, they saw little change in the development of their hometown. In addition, some village cadres themselves have low academic qualifications, shallow knowledge and poor ability, which is not as good as themselves. The third is to question the implementation of the work of village cadres. There are some differences in the implementation of the policies that some people see and hear through the media. They think that although the superior policy is good, the village cadres have discounted it in implementation. The fourth is to question the performance of village cadres. Some people have seen development projects, livelihood projects and strong infrastructure construction in neighboring villages. They think that village cadres are incompetent and have poor ability. The fifth is to question the honesty and self-discipline of village cadres. When we see and hear that village cadres violate the rules and regulations, we think that our village has a similar situation and is suspected of being "unclean" in the process of implementing the policy of benefiting the people. The collection of these problems has become an insurmountable gap between village cadres and the masses.
Second, the causes of people's distrust of village cadres analysis
The crisis of trust between the masses and village cadres is caused by both village cadres and the masses.
Village cadres factors:
1, village decisions are not widely listened to, and the masses are "indifferent". A large number of rural people go out to work, so it is difficult to hold villagers' meetings or villagers' representative meetings normally, and the decision-making and implementation of village affairs lack the extensive participation of the masses. Most of them were decided by several village cadres at a meeting. Even if they participate, because some village cadres are dishonest and can't hear their opinions, the people's right to participate in decision-making is not respected, their enthusiasm is frustrated, and then they don't care, participate or support.
2, arrange work less listen to the voice of the masses, the masses "puzzling". Due to the lack of research consciousness of village cadres, they only pay attention to promoting their work, and the policy explanation is not thorough and the work is not thorough and meticulous. Some people who don't understand the policy think that village cadres are disorderly and complain that their own interests are damaged. When village cadres need to occupy people's land in the implementation of the project, some people do not support it. Village cadres think that it is difficult and simple for the masses to do things, so they "do something and don't do something" or "don't do something", which leads to the obstruction of the masses and even the occurrence of mass vicious incidents.
3. There are black-box operations in dealing with things, and the masses "see flowers in the fog". With the gradual enhancement of people's democratic consciousness, they are eager to be treated fairly in village affairs, especially in people's livelihood and social security. Due to the imperfect democratic management, decision-making and supervision mechanism at village level, the research, decision-making, implementation and publicity of village-level collective matters are not in place, which creates conditions for village cadres to "operate behind the scenes" and "practice favoritism and malpractice". Furthermore, the decision-making process is influenced by "human relationship" and "interest-driven", and the problem of "no relationship can not be treated fairly" still exists in rural areas, which breeds the selfish and profit-seeking behavior of village cadres. What's more, the consciousness of "acquaintance society" and "relationship society" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The masses can't see the democracy in the decision-making process in the village, and naturally lose trust in the village cadres.
4. The ability and quality are generally not strong, and the masses think that "he is not as good as me". Judging from the overall quality of current village cadres, there is still a gap in development ability, educational level and age structure. Some village cadres have a weak sense of development, limited ability to get rich, and are willing to help the masses increase their income but unable to do so; Some village cadres have low academic qualifications and limited policy theory level, so they cannot accurately convey the policy spirit of their superiors when doing mass work; Some village cadres are older and have outdated ideas, which are not suitable for rural work under the new situation. In contrast, people's awareness of development and personal quality are constantly improving. Some capable and basic people have embarked on the road of getting rich by going out to work and starting a business at home. They think that village cadres are not as good as themselves, and even satirize village cadres.
5. The working method is simple and rude, and the masses hate it. With the adjustment of various interests in rural areas, contradictions and problems have gradually increased. When dealing with village affairs and coordinating the interests of the masses, some village cadres have unclear working ideas and found the wrong ways and means. Some unilaterally attribute the causes of problems and contradictions to the low awareness and poor quality of the masses; Some sacrifice and suppress the expression of interests of vulnerable groups for the sake of short-term interests balance, and bury hidden dangers that affect long-term stability; Some oversimplify the problem, and the work is not meticulous and thorough, which leads to the delay in solving the problem and the long-term fundamental solution, which leads to major contradictions. These similar phenomena have harmed the interests of the masses. In rural areas, some people's antipathy to village cadres is beyond words, and they often go against them.
6. Individual township cadres "exceeded their authority" and the masses "went straight to the secretary". Since the reform and opening up, the traffic and communication conditions in the vast rural areas have been greatly improved. It is more convenient for township cadres to work in the village, and the frequency of people going out to work in the village is getting higher and higher, which objectively distances the relationship between cadres and the masses. Traffic is more convenient, cadres go to villages and households, eat and live with the masses with less labor, and leave after work; Communication is getting smoother and smoother, and township cadres can communicate directly with village cadres and the masses by telephone. Some cadres are used to "telephone arrangement" and "remote command", and communication with the masses is getting less and less. Some township cadres go to the village, regardless of whether they should be in charge or not, they are always "leverage" and directly express their views over the village cadres, which indirectly leads to misunderstandings between the masses and village cadres. The masses trust township cadres only when they have something to do. If they have something to do, they will go directly to the secretary and township head.
The reason of the masses:
1, the collective concept is not strong, and the "interest-driven" way of doing things causes contradictions. The accelerated development of rural economy, society, infrastructure and people's livelihood has benefited most people, but their ideological awareness and moral quality have not improved much. Some people improperly handle the relationship between collective interests and personal interests, which leads to contradictions between village-level organizations and the masses, village cadres and the masses, and the masses and the masses. In rural areas, economic development often goes against the interests of the masses. On the issues of industrial development, land occupation for infrastructure construction, house demolition, etc., the masses have a weak collective consciousness, are unwilling to give up their vested interests, and openly oppose and resist the start of village-level collective projects. In the implementation of the policy of benefiting the people, it is not surprising that the people's "self-interest" thought caused trouble, and even gathered people to make trouble in the village. Under the guidance of "interest-driven" thought and behavior, the prestige of village cadres was greatly reduced and became the object of discussion and criticism, and the crisis of trust followed.
2. The sense of gratitude has faded, and the idea of "taking it for granted" is widespread. The national policy of benefiting the people is getting better and better. While greatly improving the happiness index of the masses, it has objectively caused some people to think about waiting, relying on and wanting. I don't compare the changes in the quality of life brought by the country's good policies vertically. I like horizontal comparison. When I see that my boss has received the minimum living allowance and my family has received relief, I am indignant and judge. Some people even feel that the benefits given to them by national policies are "taken for granted" and have no gratitude. They enjoyed the subsistence allowance last year, but those who didn't enjoy it in the second year have opinions, others have comments, and those who don't have comments on themselves have opinions. In recent years, nine times out of ten letters and visits received are related to the implementation of livelihood policies such as rural subsistence allowances, relief and subsidies. Many people are seriously lacking in gratitude and haggle over every ounce. They are proud to enjoy policies such as subsistence allowances and relief. Those who get subsistence allowances live on subsistence allowances, and those who don't get them will try their best to fight for them.
3, partial belief in negative remarks, the extreme understanding of "no officials and no greed" is inciting people. Nowadays, in rural areas, every household has a TV, most people have a mobile phone, the Internet has been opened in places where conditions permit, and people have more and more channels to receive information. The news from all sides is becoming more and more diversified, which makes people's perception of some social phenomena more direct and easily leads to ideological extremism. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, anti-corruption efforts have been intensified from the central government to local governments, and some leading cadres have been dismissed, which has aroused strong social repercussions. In real life, the masses are more concerned and interested in those negative and extreme information and remarks, while those reports that convey positive energy are easily overlooked. Over time, the wrong understanding of "no official is not greedy" has a market among the masses and is deeply rooted in some people's hearts. As the first-line managers in rural areas, village cadres are naturally not spared and become the object of suspicion.
4. The desire to participate has declined, and the numbness of "staying at a respectful distance from others" has caused misunderstanding. There is a large outflow of rural population, and most of them are old people, women and children, which makes the relationship between the masses and village-level organizations and village cadres more and more alienated. People who go out can't go home for a year or so, and they don't care about village-level collective affairs, holding the mentality of "it's none of their business"; The passion and desire of the elderly, women and children at home to participate in village-level collective affairs are not strong, even far away from village-level organizations and village cadres, who have little contact and communication with the masses. People who go out to learn about the development and construction of their hometown have narrow channels, mainly through telephone communication with their families, or go home to listen to mass propaganda on holidays. However, family members do not actively participate in the discussion of village-level collective issues, do not care about decision-making, do not publicize comprehensively and objectively, have a little knowledge of superior policies, and are unclear about party affairs and village affairs, which easily leads to some unnecessary misunderstandings in information transmission.
Third, the way to resolve the crisis of public trust in village cadres.
The crisis of trust between village cadres and the masses is the "disease" and "cancer" of the current rural social development, which not only affects the enthusiasm of village cadres, but also hinders the sustainable and healthy development of rural areas. It is urgent to do a good job in "agriculture, countryside and farmers" and resolve the crisis of trust.
1, promote democratic construction, implement sunshine village affairs and make scientific decisions. "Popular support" is the cornerstone of rural development and construction. To solve the people's trust crisis, we must first start with "winning the trust of the people". In view of the current rural social situation, gradually establish and improve the village-level democratic self-government system of unified consultation, decision-making, implementation and supervision of village-level affairs, fully respect the people's right to know, participate and make decisions, and let the broad masses of the people widely participate in village-level collective undertakings. The first is to establish a system of "annual meeting" of village affairs, with village cadres taking the lead. Before and after the Spring Festival every year, taking advantage of the opportunity for migrants to return home for the holidays, organize village party member, group leaders, advanced figures, retired cadres and representatives of returning migrant workers to hold meetings, extensively listen to the opinions of the masses, collect issues of concern to the masses, openly formulate the annual development plan of the village, and the village cadres promise to put forward matters to the masses on the spot, and clarify the time limit one by one; If possible, brainstorming methods and ideas; Can not be achieved, explain the reasons and put forward opinions. The second is to implement the "monthly show" system for village affairs. All village-level collective decisions, major events, collective expenditures and other matters are counted on a monthly basis, publicized to villagers at home through billboards, villagers' meetings, and informed to outsiders through mobile phone text messages and letters. Let them fully perceive the changes in their hometown and support the construction of their hometown. Third, adhere to the "on-site evaluation" system of village affairs. Every time a town goes to the market, a "village appraisal desk" is set up in the activity room of each village to receive the masses and have a rest on the way. Village cadres and resident cadres are on duty, regularly listen to the opinions and suggestions of the masses on village-level development, carefully sort out and summarize, form a reference for village decision-making, and study and promote implementation in time. The fourth is to implement the "inquiry" system of village affairs, with the supervision Committee and the village board of supervisors as the leading factor, and accept the questions of the masses about village affairs through the establishment of suggestion boxes, individual visits and centralized discussion at meetings, and answer them according to the questions of the masses, solve problems and strive to satisfy the masses.
2, adhere to the mass line, pay attention to enter the masses, close to the hearts of the people. The masses are the main body of rural development and construction. Organizations and cadres at all levels must give full play to the effective role of contacting and serving the masses, approach the masses and people's hearts in serving the masses, and resolve the crisis of trust. It is necessary to further promote the work of "connecting cadres with the masses and synchronizing well-off" in rural areas. Adhere to the shift of work focus, organize cadres at all levels to take root in rural areas, go deep into the masses with village cadres, understand the masses, enhance feelings, solve problems and seek development. It is necessary to establish and improve the system of cadres' work in the village, clarify their responsibilities, provide projects, funds, information and other support for the work in the village, and implement it among the masses with village cadres as the main body. Cadres at or above the township level should fully respect village cadres when they work in the village, try to avoid negative influence on them and guide the masses to support and support them. It is necessary to take the service needs of the masses as the guide, establish a mechanism for cadres to directly contact and serve the masses, implement "one-on-one" assistance for problems, respond to the demands of the masses, help the masses solve practical problems, and strive for their understanding and support. Strengthen the education of village cadres' awareness of serving the people and actively play the role of a bridge. We should not only "put forward" the needs of the masses, but also "pass on" information and resources, and actively do a good job in serving the masses. We should not only be "family members" of the masses, but also be "contacts" and "waiters" of the masses, effectively enhance their image and increase their sense of identity and trust.
3, change the development mode, realize the industry strong village, party building and enriching the people. At present, the most urgent need of the masses is to speed up poverty alleviation and get rich. In the final analysis, it is the demand of rural economic development. The key to solving the crisis of trust is to make the masses rich. First, vigorously promote rural industrial party building. It is necessary to organically combine the construction of grass-roots party organizations and village cadres with the development of rural industries, enhance trust and improve relations in the cause of enriching the people. Implement the project of "Rural party member Leading a Well-off Family", guide and support rural party member, especially village cadres, to lead the industry and get rich first, enhance their influence and appeal among the masses, and lead the masses to get rich and run a well-off life through industrial development. The second is to implement the "three ones" project of rural economic development. That is, developing pillar industries, establishing professional associations and cultivating backbone teams. Give full play to the organizational and political advantages of village cadres, guide and organize the masses to develop village-level pillar industries around the unified planning of counties and townships, and implement "centralized contiguous and scale development"; Establish professional associations (cooperatives) of characteristic industries, change small production into large operation, concentrate on taking the road of marketization and specialization, improve industrial competitiveness and cope with market changes; Focus on the pillar industries in the village, build a professional backbone team, play a leading role among the masses, lead the masses to get rich together, and train the best among them into reserve candidates for village cadres. Once elected as a village cadre, he has both a mass base and work experience, and is easy to gain the trust of the masses. The third is to implement the "1+ 1+N" project for industrial development. The implementation of a village cadre, an industrial base and multiple households to help the masses, village cadres actively strengthen ties with the masses, keep abreast of the difficulties and problems of the masses, and help coordinate financial, technical and information support. Actively run the market, find information and find a way out, so that the rural economy can develop rapidly, the masses can get rich quickly and the crisis of trust of the masses can be solved naturally.
4. Establish a new team, constantly improve the quality and style. Village cadres are both cadres among the masses and cadres among the masses. Their working environment is at the grass-roots level, at the front line of the grass-roots level. Their ability, quality and work style are the focus of the masses' concern, and they are also an important factor in whether there is a crisis of trust. To resolve the crisis of trust, it is urgent to build a new team of village cadres. Starting from the reality of village cadres, strengthen training and improve their quality. In terms of training methods, in addition to special courses and centralized rotation training, it is important to take the training base as a platform to carry out observation and on-site teaching, improve practical ability and enhance the pertinence of serving the people; In terms of training content, we should consider all aspects and angles such as promoting development, serving the masses, rallying people's hearts and promoting harmony, and arrange training programs reasonably. We should not only vigorously improve the ability of village cadres to lead the scientific development of rural areas, but also base on the needs of the masses, start with convenient, fast and efficient service to the masses, and train them in terms of their initiative consciousness and working methods to improve service efficiency. Strengthen the construction of village cadres' work style, carry out the special action of "no matter what, they can't be treated fairly" in rural areas, focus on rectifying and dealing with unhealthy trends such as "acquaintance first", "interest first", "power first" and "smiling face first" in village collective affairs, deal with typical cases of dealing with village collective affairs against the wishes of the masses strictly and quickly, and shock village cadres' work style and establish a sense of serving the people. Effectively strengthen the supervision and management of village cadres, establish a restraint mechanism for village cadres, standardize behaviors, increase the investigation and punishment of violations of discipline and discipline of village cadres, improve the overall quality of village cadres, and further enhance the sense of identity and trust of the masses.
5. Pay attention to management according to law and build a legal environment and harmonious countryside. To realize the orderly management in rural areas, we must adhere to the organic unity of the people being the masters of the country and ruling by law. The key to the difficulty of rural management is the lag of rule of law construction and the low level of governance according to law. Creating a good legal environment is an important guarantee to resolve the crisis of trust. It is necessary to strengthen the publicity of the rule of law, strengthen the legal education of village cadres through centralized rotation training, special training, and training by meeting, focusing on learning knowledge such as party discipline and regulations, policies and regulations, and constitutional laws, and incorporating learning into the assessment of village cadres; Relying on moral lecture halls, radio and television and distance education, we will extensively carry out publicity activities on rural laws and regulations to raise the awareness of the whole people about knowing and abiding by the law. To improve the management system, based on laws and regulations, combined with village conditions, social conditions and people's feelings, we should formulate village rules and regulations in line with national laws and regulations, village conditions and public opinion, clarify farmers' rights and obligations, work responsibilities of various organizations, economic management, social security and other requirements, and use them as a guide for village management and villagers' behavior in the process of rural social governance and institutionalized management after collective discussion and adoption by villagers' congresses. It is necessary to standardize law enforcement, strengthen supervision over administrative licensing, administrative fees, administrative penalties, administrative confirmation, administrative enforcement and other processes, and ensure strict, fair and civilized law enforcement. We should pay attention to cultivating advanced models of law-abiding usage in rural areas, carry out model selection activities, implement incentive measures, guide social atmosphere, and create a good environment that is proud of law-abiding and ashamed of breaking the law. Intensify the rectification of illegal activities in rural areas, severely crack down on gambling and drug abuse in rural areas, punish village tyrants, eradicate evil forces in rural areas, and build a civilized and harmonious new countryside.
6. Strengthen publicity and education to cultivate people who know how to appreciate. Under the social background of freedom of public opinion, smooth social conditions and public opinion, and diversified values, only by improving the quality of the masses themselves can we correctly understand and rationally analyze the problems and thus resolve the crisis of trust. Strengthen the publicity of the theme of "knowing shame before courtesy, respecting morality and being good", educate and guide the masses to establish correct concepts and advocate and pursue socialist core values. Promote and innovate rural moral lecture halls, select moral figures and deeds from the masses for publicity, and purify the hearts of the masses through moral lecture halls. Carry out the activities of farmers' gratitude education, publicize the concept of gratitude to the masses through movies, plays, folk songs and other popular ways, raise their awareness, put collective interests in a prominent position, correctly handle the interests of collectives, individuals and others, obey the overall situation, support village cadres to carry out their work, and form a good atmosphere of unity and mutual assistance. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and education, guide farmers to express their demands reasonably, and protect their legitimate rights and interests according to law. Through the resources such as cadres' residence in villages and distance education, we will strengthen the propaganda of superior policies, development situation and positive models of village cadres, guide the masses to rationally understand the behavior of village cadres from the perspective of rural development, consciously resist the phenomena that affect unity, cliques, intrigue and mutual distrust, and strive to understand and thank the masses.
