Think calmly, judging from the basic functions undertaken by the secretary, this statement seems to have some truth, but it is not sarcasm.
To sum up briefly, there are two main functions of a secretary, one is to do things for others, and the other is to write articles for others. This "person" of course refers to leading cadres. Many specific tasks assigned by the leaders are basically derived from this "double generation".
There is a synonym for ghostwriting and ghostwriting, which has been said throughout the ages and is called "catching a knife". Now keep pace with the times, also known as the "gunner".
The theory of catching a knife was first put forward in Shi Shuo Xin Yu Rong Zhi. According to these data, Cao Cao, an Anhui native, first put forward the method of "catching a knife". At that time, he was already "Wei Wu wielding a whip", becoming the prime minister of the big fellow, holding the emperor as his ministers. He is a very respected figure.
Once an envoy met with the Xiongnu envoys, and Prime Minister Cao wanted to put on a show and put on a show to save the small Xiongnu countries that often made trouble in the town. But he has a heart attack, because he is not tall and burly enough, and he is afraid that the Xiongnu envoys will look down on themselves and destroy the glory of a great country.
So he thought of a last resort and found a handsome guy to be his body double. Anyway, the Huns are far away from the big fellow, and no one knows who it is. Who is the Prime Minister? The name of body double Cao Cao was looking for was Cui Yan, and he looked really good. Lao Cao was very satisfied and let him sit in the middle of the reception room, ready to accept the worship of the Huns. Cao Cao was afraid that Cui Yan was inexperienced and screwed things up, so he paid more attention to himself. He came to an on-site supervisor, dressed himself as a waiter, grabbed a knife and stood behind Ji. It seems to be escorting Cui Yan, but in fact it is to plug the leak.
When it was ready, the Xiongnu envoys came to visit and the diplomatic etiquette was successfully completed. It is estimated that there is no need to exchange greetings and gifts, and then we will say goodbye.
Cao Cao felt that the play he directed was wonderful, which made Cui Yan earn enough face for himself and feel a sense of accomplishment. So he sent someone to ask the Xiongnu envoys to see what their impression of "Prime Minister Cao" was. As a result, the Xiongnu emissary was a master with a discerning eye, and even said honestly: That Wang Wei, it seems, has a high voice and bright eyes, but that's all. Behind it is Wang Wei's knife catcher. He is really distinguished, magnificent and natural and unrestrained, and has a strong momentum. That is the real hero! When Cao Cao heard this, he realized that he had tried his best to "catch a knife", but he was caught by the envoys of the Little Xiongnu Kingdom, and he was busy in vain!
This is the origin of "grasping the knife" and "grasping the knife", which later became the allusion to dealing with people.
Of course, we understand the meaning of this allusion, but I am deeply puzzled that this story does not explain who caught the knife for whom. Is Cao Cao acting for Cui Yan or Cui Yan acting for Cao Cao? Either they are grabbing at each other's knives, Cao Cao is doing the servant's business, and Cui Yan is doing the master's business. In the end, he was caught by a knife anyway, and Cao Cao wanted to kill someone. I don't know if the Xiongnu envoys have escaped, and I don't know if Cui Yan has good luck.
This is acting for others. Let's talk about ghostwriting again. We watched the TV series Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth. Emperor Qianlong is arty. In addition to writing some romantic poems, he often asked Ji Xiaolan to write a ghost, and sometimes asked Xiao Shenyang to write a few words. This is all a joke. In fact, the "first knife catcher" used by Gan Long was not Ji Xiaolan or Xiao Shenyang, but an old minister named Shen Deqian.
Speaking of this Shen Deqian, it is really a cadre promoted by Emperor Qianlong. This Jiangsu native is an old scholar with little talent. What a pity! I didn't meet Gan Long until I was 67 years old. Seeing that he was honest and sincere, and sympathizing with his later experiences, the emperor extended his kindness to encourage those who learned from their age. Qianlong was a scholar for seven years, and later served as editor, bachelor of cabinet and minister of rites. Because he can write poems, Qianlong often asks him to write ghost letters, which is favored by him. In officialdom, "one word keeps one word" and in literature, "leaders blend".
Who knows that the old gentleman was a little confused later, and edited a collection of poems in the current dynasty, which included money and money poems. When Qianlong saw it, he was greatly annoyed and said that one of the "two money" was "Ming Dynasty surrender" and the other was "a famous sinner". It's ridiculous to collect their poems! Gan Long gave him a good scolding, and finally got old Shen Man out of trouble and stopped pursuing his responsibility.
Unexpectedly, however, in his later years, when Shen Deqian compiled his own anthology, he put away the poems written by Dai Qianlong, which was tantamount to exposing Qianlong's peep show. When Qianlong saw this anthology, Shen Deqian was already dead, but the emperor flew into a rage and ordered to tear down his tombstone, split his coffin, poke his bones, and finally copy his house. Mr. Shen Lao debuted at the age of 67 and finally won the title of "the first gunman in the world". I didn't expect it to end like this. It's really embarrassing. This also fully shows that it is risky to give people "grasping the knife".
Since this has been the case since ancient times, it is not an exaggeration to say that the secretary is difficult to get a knife. No matter where you work as a secretary now, if you often brag about what you do and write wonderful speeches, you will have the same qualifications as a leader. Which leader is actually incompetent, who may be at odds with whom, who is on the same line with whom, and so on. If it is known to the whole world, it seems that he is very capable and knows more inside information.
Fortunately, through the ages, there are really not many people with such unclear minds. These examples mentioned above are rare. Speaking of which, it seems that the job of secretary is not easy to do either. So, can we draw the conclusion that if we do it well, we will not be human? No, of course not.
First, the leaders let the secretaries do things, except corrupt elements, and won't let me do anything that violates the law and discipline. Otherwise the secretary is not a person, and the leader is not a person in the first place. Who wants to bet their reputation, life and bright future on something that is not worth it? To the old secret's relief, on the contrary, leading cadres often tell the secretary to be principled, to obey the rules, not to cross the line and not to do things indiscriminately. The leader is afraid that the secretary will make trouble for himself. How can the secretary take the initiative to dig a hole? If you can do what the leader often tells you, the leader will be very happy. As for other comrades, it's too late to look up to you if you are competent and follow the rules. Can you say you are not good?
Second, the central authorities have repeatedly asked leading cadres to be honest and self-disciplined, but they should also manage people around them, with emphasis on family members' children and secretaries. The Central Committee knows that some secretaries rely on big trees to enjoy the cool, rely on their power to do things, and collude with lawless elements in society to seek illegal interests. As a result, the central government issued a "golden hoop stick" to leading cadres at all levels and asked them to wear it on the heads of secretaries. From time to time, they chanted incantations, sounded alarm bells, and left the great sage's kung fu to the ministers, instead of going back to the foot of Wuxing Mountain for another 500 years! Isn't this external working environment a protection for secretaries? The more conscientious the secretary is, the more cautious she is, and the higher the social evaluation is. Can leaders not love them?
Third, in order to train secretaries, leading cadres always ask them to observe, think and practice more. "It is easier to see things than to do things", and they have to do it themselves to improve their practical work ability. Leaders always let secretaries spend more time studying. "An expert is bold" and "an expert is at a loss" provide a space and platform for secretaries to study and exercise. Some leaders also personally revised articles for secretaries, taught them experience in handling affairs, praised them when they saw progress, criticized them when they found mistakes, and sometimes even severely criticized them. What is there to worry about when a secretary works under this basic structure?
Fourth, not everyone can write materials, only some secretaries have expertise. However, a responsible leader is always cultivating and improving the secretary's writing ability. Always assign tasks to secretaries, encourage more writing and publishing, and inspire their confidence. If a secretary can write, it is the basic skill of a person's growth. Leaders are happy whether they are asked to "take a knife" or not.
At the same time, there is an indisputable fact that leading cadres are generally highly educated and no longer rely on secretaries to write manuscripts. The joke that "the secretary writes right and reads wrong, and the secretary writes wrong and reads wrong" has become history. Nowadays, many leaders do it by themselves, because their understanding of the problem, the depth of thinking and the strength of solving the problem are not written by the secretary. On the contrary, in many cases, it is not the leader who asks the secretary to "take the knife" to ghostwrite, but the secretaries learn from the writing experience of the leader. As for some important conference manuscripts that need to be discussed collectively, it is not necessary for leading comrades to make them themselves, but leading comrades also hand over their ideas, ideas and measures to the secretarial team for the secretaries to sort out, and after collective discussion and revision, the leaders will make their own reports. This is an open procedure with no secrets. Leaders and secretaries have no taboos, and everyone can complete their respective tasks.
Fifth, as far as secretaries are concerned, the post of secretary is a big school. As long as you are thoughtful and considerate, it is really a good place to study. As the saying goes, the master leads the door and practices in the individual. As long as individuals work hard, there is knowledge everywhere, and there is learning everywhere, which is endless. Behind every secretary, there is a master. All of them have been to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, and all of them have experienced seven disasters and eight difficulties and achieved positive results. The knowledge, ability and social influence of leading cadres are the intangible assets of secretaries. With such good conditions, as long as the old secretaries are modest and prudent, diligent and studious, with correct ideas and methods, they will certainly be able to do a good job. If we can do this, our leaders will be happy and the outside world will be satisfied. How can it not be human?
Old secretaries like us have been on the job for a long time and have seen more secretaries. Some people say that "secretaries are difficult to do", but they don't say that "secretaries are not people, and if they do well, they are not people". It seems that this is just a joke. It can't be true.
It's true: the secretary is not only a person, but also a person with ability, achievement and sunshine!
