Open the door(dà kāi fāng biàn zhī mén)

Open the door

It comes from the fourth chapter of Feng Weimin's the accomplice of monks and nuns: "anyone who wants to patrol the master, open the door and let me return to the common customs will become a spouse."

"Open the door of convenience" is an editorial published in the first edition of people's daily on June 2, 1958. The editorial calls on the national service industry to learn from Beijing Dongsi post office. In 1958, Dongsi post office took the lead in breaking the style of yamen, went out of the counter to serve users, and set an example for the window service industry. There was a strong contrast with the prevailing business ideas of "Jiang Taigong fishing" and "waiting for customers to come" in the post and telecommunications departments at that time. For half a century, Beijing Dongsi post office has been cherishing this editorial, keeping in mind the service tenet of "people's post for the people", constantly paying attention to social hot spots, and always maintaining the true colors of red flag units.

background of times

In the past eight years, great achievements have been made in China's post and Telecommunications work. According to statistics not long ago, the total length of postal and telecommunication lines across the country has more than doubled that of old China. 98.4% of townships have access to postal lines and 75% to telephone lines. The number of Posts and Telecommunications institutions has increased five times over the total number built in the past 70 years. The capacity of telephone in the city also exceeds the sum of 50 years' construction in old China. The circulation of each issue and magazine is more than 30 million. This has never happened in history. However, the post and Telecommunications work also has serious shortcomings. It should be pointed out that for a long time after 1953, especially in the second half of 1956, the post and telecommunications departments were seriously affected by the mistake of "anti rash advance". Under the control of this negative business thinking, the "yamen style" left over by the post and telecommunications departments in old China has not been fundamentally transformed, and "waiting for customers to come" rules and regulations abound, which seriously hinders the post and Telecommunications work from serving the country and the people better.

Break down barriers

The post and Telecommunications Department is a service department for the broad masses. The great leap forward of post and Telecommunications work, in the final analysis, is how to better serve the country and the people. How can posts and Telecommunications work make a great leap forward and better serve the country and the people? According to the experience of Beijing Dongsi post office and other advanced units, and according to the understanding of the four level cadre conference of the Ministry of Posts and telecommunications, the most important thing is to thoroughly criticize the business idea of "Jiang Taigong fishing", break a series of stereotypes dominated by this business idea, and change "waiting for customers" into "opening a convenient door". The business idea of "Jiang Taigong fishing" comes from a specious understanding of post and Telecommunications work, that is, the development of post and Telecommunications work is based on social needs, and no one can force anyone to send a letter or order a newspaper. Therefore, post and Telecommunications work can only be "waiting for customers" and post and telecommunications workers can only be "Jiang Taigong". This understanding is undoubtedly incorrect. It is true that the development of post and Telecommunications work is based on social needs, and it is always wrong to force and apportion. However, this does not mean that post and Telecommunications work can only be "waiting for customers" and that post and telecommunications workers can only be "Jiang Taigong". The development of post and Telecommunications work is based on social needs. It is not the unique personality of post and telecommunications departments, but the common characteristics of different social division departments since the social division. Not to mention the departments that do not produce material wealth, such as posts and telecommunications, transportation and commerce, but the departments that produce material wealth, such as industry, agriculture and handicraft industry. Which department does not produce and work on the premise of social needs? The post and telecommunications department can't force people to send letters. How can the industrial department force people to use some kind of machine? If it is right to say that the post and telecommunications department can only be "Jiang Taigong", then shouldn't all departments in the society be "Jiang Taigong"? Everyone is "Jiang Taigong" and does not actively improve production and work. Everyone is "waiting for customers". How can society progress! Production and demand always complement each other. Production is based on needs, and production also affects needs. Before the invention of the automobile, there could be no car buyers. It seems that there is no need for the automobile in the society. However, after the automobile is produced, it becomes popular immediately, which is exactly what the society needs. When things are more expensive, fewer people buy them, for example, the social demand is very small; when prices are lower, business is booming, and the social demand is greatly increased. These are the laws of development of things. Society needs to promote the development of social production, which in turn drives the improvement of social needs. Although the post and Telecommunications Department is not a department producing material wealth, its relationship with social needs is the same as that of the Department producing material wealth. Before the invention of the telegraph, people also survived, as if the society did not need the telegraph; but after the invention of the telegraph, it became an indispensable means of communication. Before January 1 of this year, the price of telegrams was high and the telegraph equipment was well-off. It seemed that the social demand was very small. Later, the telegram fee was reduced and the social demand increased as more telegrams were sent. It can be seen that although the development of post and Telecommunications work is based on social needs, the growth and reduction of social needs are always influenced by the work of post and telecommunications departments themselves. "Jiang Taigong fishing" business thought only reflects the passive side of the post and Telecommunications work which has been the premise of social needs, but does not see that the post and Telecommunications work has a broad subjective initiative in front of social needs. Therefore, this kind of thought is one-sided and wrong. It supports the right conservative thought, protects the backward phenomenon of post and telecommunications enterprises, and rejects the enthusiasm and creativity of some workers to actively develop their business. It is impossible for the post and Telecommunications work to make a great leap forward without removing the stubborn stone of "Jiang Taigong fishing" from the way forward. In addition to criticizing Jiang Taigong's business idea of fishing, we should also use the revolutionary spirit to break the old rules and regulations. Rules and regulations are the necessary means to establish and consolidate social order, and the rules and regulations of post and telecommunications departments are the important methods to ensure the rapid, accurate and safe post and telecommunications communication. It should be said that most of the current rules and regulations of the post and telecommunications departments have positive effects, but a considerable part of them hinder the post and Telecommunications work from serving the country and the people better. For example, some rules and regulations only consider the convenience of the internal work of the enterprise, but not the convenience of the masses; some rules and regulations only consider "just in case", but not from the convenience of the masses. On the contrary, they add trouble to the masses and make people "angry with hope". In order to "open the door easily", we should abolish and revise these old rules and regulations, and establish new rules and regulations that not only guarantee the safety of Posts and telecommunications, but also facilitate the people.

Reform and development

"Opening the door easily" not only solves the ideological and institutional problems, but also solves the technical problems. The work of post and Telecommunications depends on the equipment. If the equipment is insufficient, such as too few lines, ineffective telephone, etc., no matter how good the service attitude is, it will not make people feel convenient in the end. This requires a technological revolution to completely change the technical situation of post and telecommunications enterprises. To achieve this goal, on the one hand, posts and telecommunications departments need to have a great plan for technological development, and use the most advanced technology and equipment in the world to transform China's Posts and telecommunications enterprises; on the other hand, it can be said that the most important and urgent aspect is to follow the mass line, mobilize the staff of Posts and telecommunications in Guangzhou University to continue to carry out in-depth technological innovation movement, learn technology, improve technology, and improve equipment In order to improve efficiency, eliminate and reduce errors, and serve the country and the people better and more widely, we should prepare, improve tools, improve operation methods, improve the organization of communication networks, and correspondingly improve production and labor organizations. With the upsurge of industrial and agricultural production and cultural upsurge, it is urgent for post and Telecommunications work to catch up. All over the country, from south to north, from east to west, where is not the battlefield of leap forward? Which battle is not fighting for time? How many people are there by the telephone in these endless battlefields and day and night fighting? How many people are waiting for the postman? The post and Telecommunications work at present is closely related to the development of combat, just like the wartime signalmen. "Where there is a telephone, there will be a climax." this is one of the experiences of the CPC Xushui County Committee in leading the agricultural great leap forward. This experience seems to be an over praise for the work of Posts and telecommunications. In fact, it reflects the close relationship between the work of Posts and telecommunications and the work of various departments. It also reflects the urgent hope of the broad masses of the people for improving and developing the work of Posts and telecommunications. The staff and workers of the post and telecommunications departments should work hard to meet the needs of the climax of industrial and agricultural production, the emerging technological and cultural revolution, and better serve the country and the people! Recently, the post and Telecommunications work is very vigorous. Following the gathering of the advanced press distribution workers in Beijing and the competition proposal of "everything for the convenience of readers", which was widely responded by the press distribution workers all over the country, Beijing Dongsi post office has boldly broken the stereotypes and facilitated readers in many ways, attracting the National Posts and telecommunications workers to follow suit. In the post and telecommunications sector, how to strengthen political work, improve enterprise management and organizational technological innovation, there have been many grass-roots enterprises to create noteworthy experience. Not long ago, the four level cadres' meeting of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications criticized the negative mood of "Jiang Taigong fishing" and the right conservative thought, which greatly inspired the revolutionary energy of the post and telecommunications workers. A vigorous situation of great leap forward in post and Telecommunications work has begun to take shape.
