Practicing the general secretary’s concept of youth, 4,000 cadres in Zhejiang measured ＂youth sentiment＂ with their footsteps.
Learning youth theory
"Where is the youth, where is the youth league organization built; If young people have any needs, the league organization must carry out targeted work and strive to make the league organization a strong fortress for contacting and serving young people. " In accordance with the important requirements of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the Communist Youth League conveys the warmth of the Party and serves the development of young people, and truly becomes a bosom friend of young friends, an enthusiastic person in youth work and a guide for young people.
After a busy day’s work, Wang Jian, secretary of the Yuecheng District Party Committee of Shaoxing City, did not go home directly, but made an appointment with an old friend and the head of Shaoxing "E-net E-Work Group" to get together in the cafe.
Under the same night, around the topics of comprehensive environmental improvement in small towns, beautiful countryside, industrial development, poverty alleviation and so on, Ke Zi ‘an, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Tiantan Township, Xianju County, is having a "night talk" with young people around the table.
Since last year, such a scene is not uncommon in Zhejiang. In order to deepen the contact with the youth, the youth league cadres in Zhejiang province used the evening time to go into the youth, conduct thematic night interviews, and measure the "youth sentiment" with their footsteps.
According to the statistics of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, in the past year, 4,260 cadres of the Communist Youth League took advantage of the evening time to "go to the grassroots", visited 73,400 youth league members and collected nearly 20,000 problems, which have helped solve 16,000 problems so far.
Where the youth are, the league cadres will go.
"Visit the youth, understand the group situation, and communicate with the society." Linsen Zhu, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, said that "going to the grass roots with the sole of one’s foot" not only enhanced the feelings of the cadres and the youth, but also improved the level of skills in doing youth work, and really became a bosom friend of young friends, an enthusiastic person in youth work and a guide for young people.
Fuming Street, located in the new town in the east of Ningbo, is the seat of Ningbo’s economic, political and cultural centers. In recent years, a large number of high-end buildings have sprung up, which has also become a gathering place for young people in Ningbo’s emerging industries. However, Liu Yuxi, secretary of the Youth League Committee, found that the traditional hierarchical and administrative mode of youth league organization could not effectively attract young people.
During a night visit, a young man told Liu Yuxi that because of the nature of his work, he sat for more than eight hours every day, and his lumbar and cervical vertebrae were not good. "I really hope to exercise, but I can’t find a partner."
In fact, after several night visits, Liu Yuxi has learned that many young people in the business building have this idea.
"What young people need is exactly what the group organization does." Liu Yuxi immediately decided to form the "keep life" Youth fun run Group, and through Weibo, WeChat and leaflets, a group of young people who love healthy life joined in, with more than 300 people at present. Because of the Youth fun run Group, more and more young people in the business building also fall in love with the healthy lifestyle.
Yan wang, 26, and his parents opened a shop in the ancient street of nianbadu Town, Jiangshan City. It is located at the junction of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. "There are fewer young people at home, and there is no place to go at night. They can only play games or watch TV at home." He said. The dull life gave yan wang the idea of going out to work. He hopes to have more friends to communicate with.
In the interview, the Town Youth League Committee found that among the rural youth left behind in nianbadu, there are many young people who are as confused as Wang Yanyou. Soon, "how to guide young people to have a healthy nightlife" has become the key research item of the town youth league Committee.
Villages (communities), enterprises, schools, mountainous areas and islands, whether poor children or entrepreneurial youth, where there are young people, where there is "youth sentiment", there are cadres in the league.
"Shalijia Good Life" is a homestay founded by sha li, a young woman born in 1990s, who returned to her hometown. During the night visit, Luo Yue, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Taohua Town, Putuo District, learned more about the construction situation, development plan and existing difficulties of the hotel, introduced a series of policies for youth entrepreneurship to sha li, and set up a bridge for her. Luo Yue mobilized town and community group cadres to use WeChat and Weibo to promote and publicize local homestays, and at the same time, made efforts to create an entrepreneurial and innovative atmosphere among the youth.
Luo Yue believes that young people should get something from the night visit, even if it is a valuable message. In her view, night visits are also the best opportunity to serve the youth under the background of the Communist Youth League reform.
"The figure is low, the way has changed, and it is close to the hearts of grassroots youth."
Organizations at all levels in Zhoushan organized a concentrated night visit to Japan. "On the night of the concentrated night visit to Japan, the full-time group cadres will chat and have heart-to-heart talks with their respective pairs of young people." The relevant person in charge of the Zhoushan Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League said that "going to the village to enter the household" and "taking care of the worries" enhance the feelings between the cadres and the youth.
"The figure is low, the way has changed, and it is close to the hearts of grassroots youth." Yu Yuhong, secretary of the Youth League Branch of Haizhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. said that such face-to-face communication is very grounded and can resonate with young people. In her eyes, night visits are more like a "catalyst" that leads grassroots youth to be positive.
"League cadres contact with young people, many of them are ‘ Once upon a time ’ After a few years, I seem to know a lot of people, but few really keep in touch, and even fewer can talk. " Li Mengjia said that the purpose of the night visit is to enter the lives of young people in the nearest distance, get through the "last mile" of contacting young people, truly understand their needs and help them solve problems.
In the view of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, in order to make the Communist Youth League rooted in the youth and become a force that the majority of young people can afford, find and rely on when they encounter difficulties, "the key is to make the cadres of the Communist Youth League become bosom friends of the youth".
Since the beginning of this year, on the basis of the theme interview night for cadres of the Communist Youth League, the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League has organized the whole province to organize a large-scale study, research and implementation. Linsen Zhu led a team to stay on the spot in Jingning, Lishui, and wang zheng, Wang Huilin and Zhou Suhong, deputy secretaries of the Communist Youth League Committee, led teams to Xiangshan, Deqing, Anji, Yuecheng and Pan ‘an, and went deep into the youth to make friends with ordinary league members. While understanding the needs of youth growth and development, they found the weak links and outstanding problems faced by grassroots work.
"How can youth league members help rural revitalization", "How can part-time league cadres further play their role" and "How to strengthen the construction of the education league working committee", together with the topic, the secretary team and the topic research group, conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges with grassroots youth.
"These topics are the voices of young people salvaged from the interview night. The Communist Youth League Committee hopes to find the answer in grassroots practice through centralized research." Linsen Zhu said that the system of Zhejiang Communist Youth League cadres’ normalization sinking to the grassroots level, thematic interview nights and regular exchange meetings of Communist Youth League Committee secretaries is becoming a three-dimensional interactive network for Zhejiang Communist Youth League organizations to directly contact the youth of grassroots league members, forming a virtuous circle of "grassroots reflection-provincial research-grassroots practice".
