Mondo Entertainment Updated on 2024-01-31

On November 28, the Jiaheyuan Community of Cangxia New Town, Cangxia Street, Taijiang District, Fuzhou, Fujian Province was warm, and residents Zeng Yiquan's home was full of tea.

Master Zeng, how is your health lately?What other thoughts do you have on the renovation of the community?At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Chen Qianna, member of the Standing Committee of the Taijiang District Party Committee and head of the Organization Department, who was responsible for the street, came to Zeng Yiquan's home to solicit opinions and suggestions on the transformation of the living environment.

Cangxia is located in the southern part of Taijiang District, adjacent to the Minjiang River. In the 90s, it was still a shack area, and most of the houses were made of cheap cedar planks. As soon as the Min River flooded, the common people opened the door to divert water to prevent the wooden wall from toppling due to unbearable pressure.

At the beginning of this century, Fuzhou listed the transformation of shanty houses as a key project of "doing practical things for the people", and a new community "Cangxia New Town" sprung up, with 3,441 households and 9,511 people moving back to their new homes. "I've lived in a shack all my life, and now I'm finally living in a building. 75-year-old Tang Qingwang said.

Over the past 20 years, part of the infrastructure of Cangxia New Town community has been aging, and residents have a higher pursuit of quality of life. Focusing on community greening, public activity space, community elderly care services, parking spaces, etc., residents put forward a lot of opinions and suggestions.

In 2021, a new round of all-round transformation and upgrading of Cangxia New Town will be officially launched.

How to change the community, the residents have the final say. The comfort of the residents is the biggest motivation for our work. Chen Qianna said that the cadres at the city and district levels insisted on practicing the "four grassroots units", took the mass line in the new era, led the team to investigate the homes of the residents, and held an on-site office meeting in the Cangxia New Town community to listen to the opinions and suggestions of residents' representatives.

From the demolition of illegal buildings to the use of a few square meters of public areas, we have visited homes and listened to the opinions of residents. Chen Qianna said that through face-to-face communication, the community is close to the needs of the people, collects and sorts out issues such as service facilities and architectural style, and formulates transformation and upgrading plans one by one.

In the Jiaheyuan community, the façade was renovated, the corridor space was cleaned up, the private building was demolished, the parking space was demarcated, and the overhead floor of the residential building was built in turn to build a shared space for the party and the masses, a happy and convenient station, and a children's dream paradise ......

Near noon, in the lattice shop of the "Happy Convenience Station" downstairs at No. 4 Jiahe Garden, Tang Hongying was stepping on the sewing machine quickly. During the renovation of the overhead layer, the community cadres learned during the visit that the residents generally have living needs such as sewing clothes and repairing household appliancesSome residents have trades, but they have not been able to find suitable employment opportunities due to the high rents for opening shops.

The community has set up several lattice shops in the "Happy Convenience Station" for relevant residents to settle in for free, and Tang Hongying's tailor shop is one of them. "It's good to be able to give full play to the residual heat, subsidize the family, and cheer with everyone. Tang Hongying said.

During the visit and investigation, Taijiang District found that the elderly accounted for 30 of the residents of Cangxia New Town5%;There are also many elderly people who report that they are getting older and face inconveniences in daily eating and seeking medical treatment. In February this year, a comprehensive community livelihood service center integrating the functions of "medical care, nursing, food and learning" was completed, which not only has a canteen for the elderly and a school for the elderly, but also provides services such as traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy and community elderly care.

In 2022, the Taijiang District Party Committee will send section-level cadres to the community to serve as the first secretary of the party branch to promote the improvement of grassroots governance level and cadre capacity. Up to now, 461 cadres have sunk into the community, covering all community grids, collecting a total of 1,020 project difficulties and public concerns, and promoting the solution of 793 problems such as elevator installation and community greening.

Today, the renovation and upgrading of Cangxia New Town is still in progress. "We will continue to carry forward the fine tradition of 'four grassroots units', adhere to the principle of 'do it right away and work hard', continue to integrate resources and funds, promote the construction of convenient facilities, and create a '15-minute convenient life circle', so that residents can enjoy a higher quality of life." Chen Qianna said.
