“雪中送炭”这则成语,是比喻在别人极端困难和危急时能给以帮助。笔者发现,每到岁末年初,各级机关便把给基层解决实际困难作为眼前的大事去抓,纷纷为群众“雪中送炭”,确实为群众解决了不少问题。但是,我们不妨从另一个角度思考一下：一年中有那么多天,为什么领导机关偏要选择在岁末年初之时,纷纷下基层送“炭”呢? This idiom, which is a timely solution, is a metaphor that can be helpful in times of extreme hardship and danger. At the beginning of the year and the beginning of each year, the author finds that organs at all levels take grasping practical difficulties at the grassroots level as an immediate event and one after another has done a lot to solve for the masses. However, we may as well try to think from another perspective: So many days of the year, why should the leadership choose to send carbon at the grassroots level at the beginning, the end of the year and the beginning of the year?
