Yazhai listened to Xiao Xiaozhu, suspected to be the voice of the people's suffering. Some small Caozhou county officials, one branch and one leaf are always concerned.

——"Speech at the Special Democratic Life Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Lankao County Party Committee" and other articles

■Interpretation

Petty officials have a big role. Comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the role of grassroots cadres. On November 26, 2013, when he was discussing in Heze City, he also deliberately read a couplet to the secretaries of the city and county party committees present: "It is not honorable to gain an official, it is not disgraceful to lose an official, don't say that an official is useless, and the place depends on an official; Wear the clothes of the people and eat the food of the people, do not deceive the people, and you are also the people. He said that officials in the feudal era still had this kind of understanding, and today we communists should be much higher than this realm. Most of the cadres admired by Comrade Xi Jinping are not of high rank, and most of them serve at the grassroots level, but they all "work in a down-to-earth manner and walk in the forefront".

The interests of the masses are no trivial matter. The "little things" of the masses are the "cells" that constitute the "big things" of the country. Small "cells" are healthy, and large "muscles" are full of vitality. For ordinary people, every trivial little thing around them is a real big thing, and some are even urgent and difficult. If these little things are not addressed in time, it can affect their thoughts and emotions. There is also party spirit, principle, and personality in the handling of trivial matters.

■Original text

——(Qing) Zheng Xie, "Weixian County Bureau's Chinese Painting Bamboo Chengnian Bo Bao Dazhong Cheng Kuo"

■Definition

This is one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou" in the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie, an inscription poem, which was given to the acting governor of Shandong by him during his tenure as the governor of Weixian County, and was created in the 11th and 12th years of Qianlong. At that time, Shandong was flooded, and Weixian County was particularly fierce, and hunger was everywhere. Zheng Banqiao immediately ordered "to build a large number of buildings, and recruit hungry people from near and far to work and eat". Someone suggested that it should be reported to the court first, but he flatly refused: "When is this?" After the declaration, the people have no left. Really, I'll let it go! ”

This poem cleverly uses the sound of bamboo as a metaphor. The first sentence writes that he was resting in the study of the government office and heard the sound of bamboo leaves blowing outside the window. The word "listen" highlights the author's state of mind that is worried and sleepless at night. The second sentence is associated with the sound of wind and bamboo in nature and the suffering of the people crying out for hunger and cold. The word "doubt" expresses the author's love for the people and the meaning of diligence. The third sentence "some small Caozhou county officials" means that we are just small state and county officials. Small: Tiny. Wu Cao: My generation, refers to oneself and including. The fourth sentence, "a branch and a leaf" on the surface of bamboo, a metaphor for the suffering of the people, not only corresponds to the title of the bamboo painting and the poem, but also embodies the author's deep emotion: the people's warmth and safety always affect our hearts!
