Cleaning and cleaning the glass, washing the sheets and quilt covers, and the spring couplets of window flowers are all pasted with ......On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, looking at the small home with a clean window and a warm room after a few days, Su Kaili happily locked the door and set off to Baotou, another city in Inner Mongolia, to reunite with her parents and spend the festive season.

I have lived in a rented house for 4 years, and this year I found my home in rented affordable housing (full name is "affordable rental housing") for the first time. Su Kaili said.

Although it is a guaranteed house, this house is not ordinary, this is a high-quality house specially prepared for college students in the new urban area of Hohhot.

These houses are either "famous communities" with perfect urban infrastructure and community grid management in the center of Hohhot, or youth communities with convenient transportation, beautiful environment, trendy decoration and complete functions. Those who live here and enjoy the rent reduction and exemption policy are the high-level talents and college graduates that Hohhot wants to retain.

People are the foundation of the industry and the core of the city. On August 28, 2023, on the basis of the implementation of the "10 New Policies for Talents", Hohhot City issued and implemented the "18 Measures for Attracting and Retaining People in Hohhot", focusing on the two major groups of young college students and workers coming to Hohhot, and focusing on 18 specific measures from the aspects of employment, housing, education and medical care, and convenient services that they are most concerned about.

In the "Implementation Rules for the Entry and Exit of Affordable Rental Housing of the People's Office of Hohhot", the reporter saw that high-level talents and college graduates who do not enjoy the rental and purchase subsidies of the human resources and social security departments can enjoy rent reduction and exemption. High-level talents (including doctoral students and above), master's students, and undergraduates will be exempted from rent at the rate of %.

Su Kaili is the beneficiary of this series of policies.

Four years ago, after graduating from university, Su Kaili became a nephrologist at a hospital in Hohhot. Although her work was smooth, because of the financial pressure of renting a house and encountering several unpleasant encounters with the landlord, she had the idea of "retreating home to find her parents". In 2023, she found her current house through the "Qingcheng Rental and Rental" platform, not only has a subway for work, but also enjoys a rent reduction and exemption policy for renting a house, with an 80-square-meter house with two bedrooms and one living room, and she and her good friends can easily get it for 600 yuan per month each.

Su Kaili also felt warm and the eldest sister of the community grid member, "I am most afraid of getting sick when I live alone outside the home, once I had a fever, it was the eldest sister of the community who came to my house to deliver medicine and food, which made me feel the love of Hohhot for me for the first time." ”

Of course, there are other reasons why I am sure this is my 'ideal house'. In the new town, there are many good food, fun and good places to visit. Su Kaili said with a smile, "On weekdays, you can visit the night market, eat supper, and relax." On weekends, you can also take the bus to climb Daqingshan, which is really very comfortable. Last summer, during the Annoying Bao ** Festival and Jay Chou's concert, friends from my hometown came to me to play, and they all said that I was a 'brilliant person' here. Bei'er has face. ”

Wei Yingnan, who has worked in Hohhot for 8 years, did not rush to buy a ticket to return to his hometown this year as in previous years, but happily arranged his happy little home. This is a subsidized housing that she applied for in August 2023.

When Wei Yingnan smiled and talked about his experience of living here, he used the word "fate".

I was going to leave Hohhot, but now I'm very happy with my life here. The community where Wei Yingnan lives is located in the most prosperous area of Xinhua Street, with convenient transportation and perfect living services, and is only a dozen minutes' drive from her work unit. In her words, being able to live here is the happiest thing for her in 2023.

Wei Yingnan calculated such an account, the housing price itself is lower than the market, about 70% of the market, and after graduating from graduate school, she will reduce the rent by 50% on this basis. In this way, she will save nearly half of the rent every month, and there is no deposit problem with the guaranteed housing, and it is easy and convenient to check out.

Wei Yingnan's hometown is thousands of miles away, and as the only daughter of her parents, her living situation certainly holds the hearts of her parents. But when her parents came to see her, they never wanted her to go back to her hometown. Now her job is satisfactory, her relationship with her boyfriend is stable, and taking root in Hohhot has become her New Year's resolution.

The personal "small ledger" is connected to the large ledger of people's livelihood. There are more and more young people like Wei Yingnan who are living happily in Hohhot, and their lives are becoming more and more enjoyable.

Xue Lidong, deputy director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Hohhot Xincheng District, said that in order to solve the worries of college students' employment and entrepreneurship, and truly let college students stay, do well and have a head start in Hohhot, more than 1,300 houses have been raised in the new urban area alone, and more than 570 have been put into the market, and more than 200 houses will be launched for young talents to rent in the near future.
