"No investigation, no right to speak": The argument that shines the light of truth is born here.

From Ganzhou, Jiangxi, driving southeast along the Xiamen-Rong and Ningding expressways for about 3 hours, you will arrive at Xunwu County, where the Wuyi Mountain and the Jiulian Mountain intersect. As you can see, there are high mountains, mountains and ridges, and green eyes.

This is a red land. During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, Mao Zedong carried out an investigation and study that was recorded in the annals of history here. He wrote "Xunwu Investigation" and "Opposition to Bookism", and proposed that "there is no investigation, no right to speak" and "Marxism" The book is to be learned, however, it must be combined with the actual situation of our country. "The victory of China's revolutionary struggle depends on the understanding of China's situation by Chinese comrades.

Exploring the three basic points that have initially formed the living soul of Mao Zedong Thought

On the horseshoe hill of Changning Town, south of Xunwu City, stands a tall gatehouse. Above the gatehouse are 10 golden characters inscribed by General Zhang Zhen, "Mao Zedong Xunwu Investigation Memorial Hall. On the left and right doorposts, two famous words were written in "Mao style cursive script" -- "no investigation, no right to speak" and "creating a new situation in the struggle". The warm winter sun reflected, and the bright red handwriting was particularly eye-catching. Walking into the gatehouse and looking around, I saw a few quaint residential buildings enclosing a large courtyard, and the lawn trees in the courtyard were still green. This is the place where Mao Zedong held a symposium on investigation and research.

Chen An, director of the Research Center of the Central Soviet Area in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, introduced that in January 1929, Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the Fourth Red Army from Jinggangshan to southern Jiangxi and western Fujian to open up new revolutionary bases. With the changes in the revolutionary situation, the "Left" thinking and "Left" policies in the Party and the Red Army began to rise. Some party members and cadres are superstitious about dogma. When they see a little surface and a branch, they point out that this is not right, that is also wrong. They have lost the masses and cannot solve the problem. In order to solve the problem of the party's ideological line in time and formulate policies for the middle class and small and medium-sized businessmen, Mao Zedong very much hopes to find a representative place to conduct a detailed investigation.

In early May 1930, Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the army to Xunwu County. With the assistance of Gu Bai, then secretary of the county party committee, Mao Zedong conducted a large-scale social survey here for more than 20 days and held an investigation meeting for more than 10 days.

"I remember that there was no ceremony or sign-in during the meeting. Comrade Mao Zedong asked for his own notes." In May 1965, Liu Shushi, a township doctor and teacher in Longtu Village, Chenguang Town, Xunwu County, who had experienced a survey forum, recalled, "I asked about Xunwu's agriculture, industry, transportation, health, education, women, customs, landscapes, marriage, etc. I asked about the farmers' lives and debts, and asked how much the teachers' salaries were higher and lower."

Inviting county, district, and township Soviet cadres and teachers, businessmen, farmers, workers, intellectuals, soldiers and other people who are familiar with the local situation to discuss is the main method of Mao Zedong's investigation. Yan Shuhan, a professor at the Central Party School, said: "through the investigation of Xunwu, Mao Zedong made clear the commercial situation of the city and mastered the situation of land distribution. it provides a practical basis for formulating policies to correctly treat the urban poor and the commercial bourgeoisie and determining the policy of restricting rich peasants in land distribution."

According to the investigation, the "Xunwu Investigation" consists of 5 chapters and 39 sections with more than 80000 words. In this paper, there are not only statistics, but also historical explanations. There are both industry surveys and class analysis. Specific to the 131 kinds of foreign goods operated by grocery stores, how to divide the grain and meat during the holidays in rural ancestral halls are all reflected in detail. On the other hand, the philosophical work "investigation work" (later renamed "opposing bookism"), which is written on the basis of Xunwu investigation, has become an important cornerstone of the formation of the investigation and research theory of the Communist Party of China.

"Meticulous possession of materials, scientific analysis and comprehensive research are the most distinctive features of Mao Zedong's investigation of the search for Wu. Since then, the three basic points of the living soul of Mao Zedong Thought have been initially formed, namely, the important idea of seeking truth from facts, the mass line, and independence." Jiangxi Normal University Institute of the revitalization of the Soviet area chief researcher Peng Daobin said.

Inheriting the "one basket" investigation, successfully achieving poverty alleviation and hat removal, so that the masses have a greater sense of gain.

"Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of important expositions on investigation and research. Today, when we thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we must vigorously carry forward the spirit of the investigation and find ways and paths to solve difficult problems." Ganzhou City CPPCC Vice Chairman, Xunwu County Party Secretary Ke Yansong said.

In this red land, it has long been the consensus of the broad masses of cadres and masses to carry forward the spirit of Xunwu investigation and bring the good ideas, good practices, and good work style of Xunwu investigation to all aspects of economic and social development.

In order to carry forward the "in-depth and realistic" investigation spirit of Xunwu, from July to August 2017, the research team of the Central Propaganda Department carried out the "Xunwu Re-investigation". Centering on the theme of "carrying forward the spirit of getting rid of poverty and promoting the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization in rural areas," the research team of the propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee leaned down and sank to the front line, went deep into a number of villages in Xunwu for field research, interviewed 19 families at home, conducted 16 discussions with village representatives, and distributed 1000 questionnaires, the "one basket" of Xunwu's production methods, lifestyles, spiritual and cultural life, village customs, rural governance and other aspects were investigated, and the "Xunwu Poverty Alleviation Research Report" was finally formed. Supported by detailed data and cases, the report truly and vividly presents the current situation of Xunwu, points out 25 specific problems in four aspects of Xunwu County, and puts forward scientific countermeasures. In the "Investigation Report on Poverty Alleviation in Xunwu" submitted by the Central Propaganda Department, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions on doing a good job in investigation and research, pointing out the direction for Xunwu to win the battle against poverty and enhancing confidence. With the care and support of all levels and departments and all walks of life, as well as the joint efforts of the people of Xunwu, two years later, Xunwu County successfully passed the poverty alleviation with the excellent results of "zero missed evaluation, zero wrong withdrawal, and 99.2 satisfaction". Cap acceptance.

How to consolidate existing achievements and achieve high-quality development after poverty alleviation? Party members and cadres at all levels in Xunwu County make full use of scientific methods such as site research, field visits, visits and surveys, and dissecting sparrows to carry out investigation and research, and carry them through the whole process of decision-making and implementation.

Investigation and research itself is also a process of contacting the masses and doing practical things for the masses. In order to solve the problem of drinking water safety for the masses, Xunwu County took the Taihu Lake Reservoir Project as the first livelihood project. Due to the full preliminary research and demonstration and the ideological mobilization in place, the project received the support and response of the masses, and the overall relocation was successfully realized. The Taihu Lake drinking water project with a total investment of 1.256 billion yuan will officially supply water in 2019, and the drinking water safety of 187700 people in townships (towns) and Xunwu County along the line will be guaranteed.

"To inherit the spirit of Xunwu investigation, we must adhere to the mass line, have a thorough and comprehensive understanding of what the people are thinking, expecting, welcoming, and opposing, truly contact the masses, make friends with the masses, be grounded, observe the people's sentiments, and do practical things. Various decision-making arrangements can concentrate people's wisdom, reflect public opinion, reflect people's sentiments, and continuously meet the people's growing needs for a better life." Ke Yansong said.
