In early October of this year, in accordance with the municipal Party committee’s deployment of the Party’s mass line education and practice activities, I, along with hundreds of leading cadres and staff from various municipal institutions, were dispersed to designated villages across the city’s townships to carry out a three-month “Three Services” initiative aimed at serving the grassroots, the frontlines, and the masses. I was assigned to ** Village in ** Town, responsible for the work in two village groups, ** and **. Below is a summary of my personal work during this period:

1. Consistently Adhering to the Core Purpose of Serving the Grassroots, the Frontlines, and the Masses

To actively implement the requirements of the “Three Services” initiative, it was essential to thoroughly study and understand the principles, purposes, and specific requirements of the activity. Through in-depth lectures by leaders at various mobilization meetings organized by the municipal Party committee, ** Town committee, and the Tianxin working group, as well as studying relevant documents issued by the municipal Party committee, I gained a clear understanding of the background and objectives of this initiative and developed high expectations for the “Three Services” work.

To genuinely serve the grassroots and the masses, I immersed myself in the village groups under the Tianxin Village Committee, living and working alongside the villagers, overcoming some inconveniences in daily life, and staying in the village throughout the entire “Three Services” period. I strictly adhered to the municipal Party committee’s “Five Prohibitions” principles: not leaving the assigned village post without permission, not accepting any gifts from villagers, not accepting banquets from grassroots units, not reimbursing any expenses in the village, and not misusing support funds. I dedicated myself wholeheartedly to serving the villagers. To address accommodation and food issues, I adopted methods such as renting, subsidies, and paying for labor, with all funds coming from the overall subsidy allocated to each individual.

2. Meticulously Completing the Survey of Villagers’ Production and Living Conditions

The primary task of the “Three Services” initiative was to conduct a thorough survey of the production and living conditions of grassroots villagers. The two village groups I was responsible for were located 4 kilometers away from the working group’s daily office and accommodation site. To better conduct the survey, given the lack of paved roads to these village groups, I brought a bicycle from the city to use as a daily commuting tool, aiming to get closer to the villagers and gain their support.

Due to their unfavorable geographical location, the two village groups I was responsible for were far from both the village committee and the town center, with no roads leading in or out. Additionally, frequent disturbances from rats and wild boars in the fields made it difficult for many villagers to stay in the village year-round. To comprehensively survey the production and living conditions of these two village groups, I conducted door-to-door surveys during the day and contacted absent villagers by phone during evenings or other free times.

One challenge in surveying villagers’ production and living conditions was that they often could not provide exact figures for their income or accurately define disputes with neighbors or their opinions and suggestions regarding relevant departments. To address this, while actively studying the “Three Services” survey guidelines, I also referred to Fei Xiaotong’s Rural China and other books that analyze rural economic issues. I helped villagers scientifically and reasonably calculate their labor and income, defined their actual production and living needs, and recorded their suggestions and opinions for follow-up work.

3. Actively Helping Villagers Solve Practical Problems Identified in the Survey

The issues identified during the survey were categorized into three types: those that could be resolved or answered immediately, those requiring assistance from other departments, and those difficult to resolve through existing channels. For villagers’ inquiries about subsistence allowances, social security, medical insurance, and legal issues, I provided on-the-spot explanations and answers whenever possible. For issues such as rat and wild boar disturbances affecting production, I actively contacted the leaders of the village working group and coordinated with other village cadres to plan a unified pest control action with the Agriculture Bureau in the coming year. For road construction issues raised by villagers, I coordinated with the ** Town government and the Road Bureau to initiate project surveys and explained the specific funding arrangements to the villagers, striving to help them overcome practical difficulties. During the survey, it was the autumn harvest season, and many young and middle-aged villagers were away working. Some villagers reported difficulties in harvesting late rice, so the entire village working group temporarily set aside time to personally help these villagers with the harvest. These efforts provided tangible assistance to the villagers, alleviating many of their production and living difficulties.

4. Harmonious Colleague Relationships and Mutual Assistance in Completing All Tasks

Each member of the “Three Services” village working group was not an isolated individual. We all lived together in the same village committee, eating and staying together like a big family. We cared for and helped each other, all striving to complete the tasks assigned by the municipal Party committee for the “Three Services” initiative. During field surveys, due to differences in the village groups each person was responsible for and the diverse composition of the working group (with older and younger colleagues, men and women), there were inevitable differences in our workloads. Older colleagues were unfamiliar with computers, younger colleagues were less experienced in mass work, and female colleagues faced difficulties going out alone at night. However, we all focused on completing the entire working group’s tasks as our core mission, not only within our own responsibilities but also actively helping other colleagues in need. We united as one, aiming to achieve the working group’s goals.

The first phase of the “Three Services” initiative is coming to an end, and I have gained a lot from this experience. Not only did I successfully complete the tasks assigned by the municipal Party committee, but I also honed my work abilities. More importantly, I got to know many leaders and colleagues: we came from different units with different work responsibilities, but this initiative brought us together to strive for a common goal. After the first phase of the “Three Services” initiative concludes, the next phase will continue vigorously. The Party’s mass line education and practice activities will extend to more grassroots villages. Under the correct leadership of the municipal Party committee, I believe the upcoming activities will be carried out effectively, fully achieving the municipal Party committee’s goals and objectives, and thoroughly implementing the essence of our Party’s spirit of serving the people by serving the masses, the frontlines, and the grassroots.
