Be a good "caring person" for the community
Narrator: Cao Hongna, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Residents' Committee of Shandongbao Community, Shenyang, Liaoning.
In 2004, at the age of 22, I went to work in the Shandong Fort community, and I have been doing this for 19 years. Over the past 19 years, I have grown up with the community, regarded this place as a second home, dedicated my youth and blood, and the community has also witnessed every step of my journey to become a "caring secretary" of the residents.
Community service is the service at the doorstep of the people, which is related to the people's livelihood and connects the people's hearts. Over the years, I have given full play to the exemplary and leading role of members of the community leadership group and Communist Party members, and organized and led all comrades in the community to actively promote various tasks. We have successively adjusted and optimized 12 grid party branches and 24 building party groups, strengthened 40 party member central households, and gave full play to the leading role of the "1+x" community party committee, and gathered a strong synergy of collaborative co-governance.
The key to co-governance is to increase residents' sense of participation and gain. In 2021, the Shandong Fort community will be renovated into an old community. The community environment is everyone's, and how to change it cannot be "one word" in the community, and the opinions of residents need to be respected. Therefore, initiated by the community party committee, a team of resident representatives and people's designers was formed to participate in the transformation, and more than 10 transformation meetings were organized and held to solicit opinions from more than 1,100 residents. Over the course of several months, community workers helped residents coordinate and communicate more than 290 difficult issues such as roof waterproofing, park greening, and sewer renovation. During that time, I was busy going back and forth every day, although my legs were swollen and my voice was hoarse, but I was extremely relieved to see the smiles of the residents and look at the increasingly perfect community environment.
Usually in the community, the most dealings are still "one old and one young", which is also the most concerned issue for the people. In order to do a good job in the work of "one old and one young", the community party committee relies on a number of volunteer service carriers such as "Leyang Home", "Love Supermarket", "Love Canteen" and "Love Psychological Hair Room" to provide residents with services such as meal delivery, bathing and cleaning, medical assistance, medical assistance, physiotherapy, door-to-door haircuts, comfort and companionship, etc., to meet the multi-level and diversified service needs of residents.
Although there is a lot of work every day, I also gain a lot. In May this year, we organized volunteers to carry out the volunteer activity of "Love Laundry" to dry quilts for the elderly and disabled people in need in the community, which was well received by the community and comprehensively promoted by Shenyang City. In September, I led the community staff to use the after-hours to carry out the activity of "Visiting the Truth Out of Practical Results", going deep into the homes of community residents to visit their homes to grasp the actual situation and needs of residents, so as to better carry out their work. I believe that as long as we insist on relying on party building to lead grassroots governance and be a good friend to the masses, various problems in community construction will eventually be solved.
