Dear Mr. Mayor:
Hello!
Although the police of the Xincheng Police Department in Suiyang District illegally arrested me across districts late at night;
Although they threatened me and humiliated me;
Although I was forced to flee;
Although I boldly reported on the Internet and wrote to the leaders of various governments in Shangqiu to disclose and ask for help, I was ignored by government officials at all levels.
But as a member of the general public in Shangqiu, I still love the land of Shangqiu deeply.
I would like to express to you my expectations for the work of the government and hope that the government will pay more attention to the importance of the Internet and social media.
With the rapid development of information technology, the Internet has become an indispensable part of our lives, and social media is an important channel between the people and the government. Through this letter, I hope to emphasize to you the importance of online public opinion, and call on the government to listen carefully to the voices of netizens and at the same time recognize the power of netizens.
First of all, the Internet and social media have a huge influence in today's society. Whether it is information dissemination, expression of public opinion, or social interaction, it is inseparable from the platform of the Internet. More and more people are expressing their opinions, needs and dissatisfaction on the Internet, and this information has important reference value for government decision-making and policy formulation. Therefore, the government should recognize the importance of online public opinion, take it into consideration in decision-making, and understand the needs and expectations of society in a more comprehensive and objective manner.
Second, social media has built a bridge of direct communication between the government and the public. By actively interacting with the public, the government can understand the opinions and feedback of the public in a more timely manner. This timely interaction can effectively enhance the trust and understanding between the government and the public, and shorten the distance of information transmission. At the same time, the government's positive response and problem-solving attitude can also establish a good image of being pragmatic and close to people's livelihood.
Also, I hope the government can recognize the power of netizens. The spread of public opinion on the Internet has the characteristics of high speed and wide range, and a small incident may cause widespread concern in a short period of time. Therefore, when dealing with the problems reported by netizens, the government should attach great importance to them and take timely and effective measures to solve them. At the same time, the government must also consider the opinions of netizens when formulating policies, because Internet public opinion reflects the concerns and needs of the people. Only by truly thinking about issues from the perspective of the people can we formulate policies that are more close to the hearts of the people.
Finally, I hope that the government can strengthen network governance and establish a more complete information supervision mechanism. Netizens' letters and suggestions are expressions of their innermost feelings and trust in the government. The government and relevant functional departments should give a timely and clear reply. Otherwise, if the mailboxes of governments at all levels and functional departments are hung high on the Internet, wouldn't they become decorations? Not only a waste of resources, but also lost the hearts of the people.
Mr. Mayor, I firmly believe that by paying attention to the Internet and social media, listening carefully to the voices of netizens, and recognizing the power of netizens, the government will be more closely connected with the people, effectively respond to social needs, and promote the prosperity and development of Shangqiu.
Thank you for reading this letter.
Best regards!
