Wang Anshi, a politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, served as the county magistrate of Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province (now Yinzhou District, Ningbo City) at the age of 27, built water conservancy, developed production, loaned grain to the people, suppressed the strong and strong, respected teachers and education, and cultivated talents. In the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong, a writer who passed on to later generations with "Yu Shi Ming Yan", "Warning World General Words", and "Xing Shi Heng Yan", was a very bumpy road to the imperial examination, and only made up for Gongsheng at the age of 57, and only served as Shouning Zhi County in Fujian at the age of 61, and served for 4 years. He alleviated forced labor, reformed the rule of officials, clearly adjudicated lawsuits, eliminated bad habits, rectified the style of study, promoted profits and eliminated harms, and created a Shouning where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Both county orders and meritorious deeds, Wang Anshi and Feng Menglong's lives echo each other, forming a symphony across time and space. Wang Anshi was a fledgling and dedicated the best time to the people of the realm; Feng Menglong is in his twilight years, still warming the people under his rule with the last rays of brilliance of the setting sun.

Wang Anshi was a famous thinker and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was once called "China's 11th-century reformer" by Lenin. As soon as he arrived in Yin County to be the magistrate of the county, he began to investigate the local agricultural production situation, and believed that the people of Yin County were most afraid of drought, so he "greatly controlled the canals and rivers, so that the water could be drained, and there would be no shortage of water." In the second year of his arrival in Yin County, in the spring when there was no harvest, Wang Anshi lent the grain stored in the granary of the county government to the villagers, and agreed that after the autumn harvest, Ghana would pay a small amount of interest to the county. This laid the foundation for the reform of the "Seedlings Law" in the future. Wang Anshi also attached great importance to education, and took the Confucian Temple in Yinxian County as a school, "Yinxian County has a county school", which had a significant impact on the Eastern Zhejiang School of Chinese culture.

"Four years of Shou Ning's political achievements, Mr. is not the only article." Feng Menglong was a famous writer and scholar who lived in the Ming Dynasty. When he was in Shouning County, he also started his work from field investigations. He cared about the food and clothing of the common people, and achieved the agricultural production goal of "chiseling stones into fields, high and low, with a little sandy soil, and all crops". He also attached great importance to the construction of water conservancy, because "most of the fields are nourished by water, the water veins are blocked, and the fields are fertile and barren." Feng Menglong also attached great importance to changing customs and spreading culture, so that the relatively backward Fujian region at that time could be bathed in advanced culture. Feng Menglong also pursued fair law enforcement, simple government and clean punishment, and his four-year term of office left a reputation of "simple government and clean punishment, the first literature, kindness to the people, and courtesy".

Wang Anshi and Feng Menglong, not frivolous because of their youth, not abandoned because of their age, one in the first half of their lives, and the other in the second half of their lives, jointly outlined the image of officials who pay attention to hard work.

Xi Jinping has stressed that the vast number of grassroots cadres are the steel bars in the foundation of the party's ruling edifice, "the position is not high, but the responsibility is great". In the spring of 2014, the second batch of the party's mass line education and practice activities were in full swing. Its main target is the majority of grassroots party members and cadres; The main purpose is to extend the results of the first batch of activities to the grassroots level, so that the party's fine work style can penetrate into the hearts of every grassroots party member and cadre. Xi Jinping integrated the grand theme of the second batch of activities into a visual story, which is to explain the value of paying attention to hard work and serving the people to the majority of grassroots cadres with wonderful stories in history.
