耀邦同志在领导工作中有一个极为务实管用的创举,就是持之以恒地抽出时间,亲自批阅大量群众来信。他强调指出:“每个领导干部平均每天都要看一两封有典型意义的群众来信,首长的秘书不能借口爱护首长而任意扣压。”耀邦同志真正是身体力行,不论是在出访之前,还是在中央重要会议的间隙,乃至在下基层视察的飞机和火车上,他都要挤出时间来批阅人民来信。 Comrade Hu Yaobang has taken a very pragmatic and pioneering initiative in his leadership work by persistently taking time out and personally reading mass letters from the masses. He emphasized: “Every leading cadre should read an average of one or two letters of the masses on a typical day. The secretary of the chief of staff can not be arbitrarily detained on the pretext of protecting the head.” "Comrade Yaobang really took the initiative, whether before going to a visit, He still needs time to read the people’s letters during the intervals between the important meetings of the Central Government and even on the planes and trains visited by the grassroots.
