With the city gates closed, how can we serve the people?

But as early as before the Cultural Revolution, it was a common state in the country for the authorities to set up doorposts. It can be said that, without exception, they used to be soldiers, security guards and doormen, but now they are soldiers and security guards. Strict access control, even one after another, is the gate scene of almost all power organs. Regrettably, all the institutions that say serve the people at the door are precisely the people, that is, the places where ordinary people can't get in or even stop to look around; Screen wall, also called screen wall, is designed to block the line of sight. Therefore, the screen wall serving the people is actually used to specifically block the people's sight. This, I have to say, is a kind of irony. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, the masses were indeed able to squeeze into many organs of power, but the purpose of going in was to overthrow and crush them. No matter who was inside or rushed in, they could not serve the people. After the "all mountains and rivers in the country are red", especially after the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, although new power organs and new power figures have stepped onto the historical stage, access control remains the same. At that time, class struggle was the key link, and "tightening the string of class struggle" was the characteristic of the times. Guards are more vigilant than before, and suspicion and vigilance against strangers are the norm all over the country. Therefore, the door of the authorities is absolutely closed to strangers. For decades, if someone wants to enter the office, they have to go to the reception office to fill in the visitor list, and the question before filling in the list is "Who are you looking for", which shows that people must first have acquaintances in the office, and those who have no relationship, don't know acquaintances or have not received the notice of the meeting can't get in at all. When filling out the form, there must be a reception room. Call the acquaintances and acquaintances inside first. If you don't get permission, you still can't enter. The doorpost of the power organ is heavy and the access control is strict. As a result of cross-examination in the reception room, there is no possibility for the public, the people and the people to enter. In recent years, the new organs of power buildings are magnificent, with high steps, magnificent gates, magnificent halls and stricter access control, which makes the people more afraid and increases their sense of distance. Today, many power organs have opened service buildings and comprehensive service halls, and finally established communication channels between the people and power organs. This is because the market economy forces people to go to the authorities to go through formalities in many ways, and the various procedures formulated by the authorities themselves have to face a large number of people coming in. But in the past, especially before the reform and opening up, in the era of planned economy, all things of ordinary people were solved in their own units, their own streets, their own neighborhood committees and their own production brigades. They are management and control. If they want to contact the authorities, they must report to the leaders of their own units step by step and then approve them step by step, so there is no service at all. The only way for ordinary people, that is, the people, to contact their superiors or higher authorities is to petition. Petition is a long queue outside the small door opened by the side door or back door of the organ, or sleeping underground or against the wall. People who receive petitions can take a reason or ignore them, and their attitudes are mixed. Most of the petitions are transferred back to the local area or even the unit where the petitioners work, and the petitioners come in vain. Few people are lucky enough to be chosen, and only when their fate changes will they be dealt with. If they get instructions from the top leaders, it will be grace. If petitions affect festivals, celebrations and important meetings, or hinder the "good situation", all petitioners will be detained, sent home, and taken away by the unit like children taken back by their parents. Before the 1980s, there were important events in Beijing. It was an important measure to buy tickets to stay in Beijing with letters of introduction at or above the provincial level and clean up all visitors in hotels and guest houses. Those interviews have nothing to do with serving the people. It can be said that the existence of letters and visits is actually caused by the lack of service for the people by power organs at all levels. The decision to go down to the grassroots level and take the mass line is still in the hands of power organs and power owners. If you want to go down, you can't help it. Moreover, the access control of all power organs makes people have to doubt: people at the grass-roots level come up, and the masses want to come in, but they are all turned away, blocked by doorposts and blocked by access control. What is the significance of the grassroots? In fact, people who come out of the grassroots and want to enter the power organs are the people who really need the power organs and power figures to solve them. Receiving them and doing things for them belong to service; What is going on is a survey to check the service distance from Wan Li. I often travel in America and Europe. Once in Richmond, I caught up with the internal emergency and looked around for the toilet with my companions. Finally, I met a policeman. He pointed to a nearby building and we ran in. After solving the problem, I found that there are offices in the building, and everyone is working, not to mention the past, and there is no reception room. I didn't know it was a government agency until I asked. Walking in the streets of Bern, Switzerland, I saw an ancient building. When I went in, I saw a service desk at the door. I asked if I could visit it. I replied that it was a government agency, but it was also a cultural relic. We can't stop it if you want to visit it. When traveling in many countries in Europe and America, you rarely see the city's doorposts. Some doorposts are still being renovated, and the parliament and the court can freely enter and leave and visit at will. For decades, we are used to looking at people, society, problems and things from what we have said, written and advocated, and even from the beauty of calligraphy. But have we done it? How much have we done? Are there institutional guarantees and institutional guarantees? If not, what is the monitoring mechanism? But few people consider it.
