"It is both a trust and an honor to be entrusted by the community. Li Shaohui is the secretary of the party branch and the director of the neighborhood committee of Nanjiao Community, Dongsha Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou. Rooted in the community for 24 years, from "Hui Zai" to "Hui Ge", he cherishes this trust as always, and goes all out to complete every entrustment of good residents.
The area of Nanjiao community is about 1It is 5 square kilometers and has 1,900 self-built houses, making it a typical urban village community. In December 2020, Li Shaohui left Jinyu Community, where he had worked for 18 years, and came to Nanjiao Community. Although the site has been relocated less than 3 kilometers, the new community presents new challenges. "Being anxious about what the residents are anxious about and thinking about what the residents think is the unchanging working principle. Li Shaohui said.
Create an after-school "utopia" for migrant children
The permanent population of Nanjiao community is about 110,000 people, of which about 7,200 are non-registered people. The mobility of community members is relatively large, and everyone's sense of belonging to the community is not strong, so it is not easy to do a good job in community governance.
In order to do a good job in the service of personnel in Guangzhou, Li Shaohui fully implemented the combination of "party branch grid + government affairs grid" in the community. Considering factors such as permanent population, geographical location, and jurisdictional area, there are 300-600 households in each grid of the community, and then fully mobilize the power of grid leaders, grid members, party members, and volunteers to grasp the needs of residents in the grid in a timely manner.
"Bringing a baby" is one of the needs. There are a large number of people in the community and a lot of children who have migrated with them, so how can they help young couples who are working hard outside to bring good babies? Nanjiao Community, together with Nanjiao Associated Society, Dongsha Street "Double Hundred Project" Social Worker Station, and Dongsha Street "Little Seedlings" Social Work Station, brought a variety of activities to the children. In the activity space, children write homework and read books after school, watch movies on Friday night to relax, and Saturday is DIY time, learning to make poplar branches and nectar, paper-cutting paintings, and children seem to be in a "children's utopia" here.
Schools and students will also have "micro-wishes". In 2021, Nanjiao Primary School plans to recruit one more class to recruit the children of those who meet the requirements of points enrollment. However, at that time, Nanjiao Primary School did not have the funds to purchase desks and chairs. After learning of the situation, the community neighborhood committee linked to the party committee of the Liwan District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision through the street to realize the school's "micro-wish", and after the start of the autumn semester, 40 sets of brand-new desks and chairs ushered in their new owners.
There will also be conflicts in the community. There have been complaints from residents about the demolition of illegal buildings, and the community workers have not been able to provide daily services to this resident. From eating behind closed doors to being able to talk, Li Shaohui spent more than a year.
Do you represent the streets, or do you represent the residents? Li Shaohui recalled that when he first learned about the situation, the resident's tone was very impulsive. "I'm here to solve the problem on behalf of the residents. Li Shaohui replied without hesitation. Since then, although he will still eat closed-door soup, Li Shaohui has not stopped "brushing his face". "After a long time, this resident will be willing to talk to us when he encounters difficulties, and an invisible iceberg has melted. In his opinion, community residents generally do not easily ask for help from people outside the family, and it is precious to finally gain the trust of residents through empathy.
Stimulate the "green" energy pool of community residents.
There is also Nanjiaoyong, which runs through the community from south to north, and the Nanjiao Community Neighborhood Committee is next to the river. Li Shaohui said that Nanjiaoyong carries the dragon boat memories of many Nanjiao, and the once-polluted river chong has been renovated in 2019. When he came to work in the community at the end of 2020, there were already many redbud trees on both sides of the river.
Green beauty is not easy to come by, how to better protect Nanjiaoyong? During this year's winter vacation, walking on both sides of Nanjiaoyong, you can see students surrounding the "teacher" from time to time on the topic of ecological protection. Li Shaohui introduced that the community held a "green and beautiful bird walk" activity and purchased bird watching equipment. My colleagues are not experts in bird watching, so they asked the school's science teacher for advice, "After a few hard explorations and practical exercises, they can be regarded as having 'practical experience'." He said.
The river flows slowly, and the ancient trees are lush and green. There are also 7 ancient and famous trees in the Nanjiao community, and the daily patrol is specifically responsible for the community forest chief's office. Li Shaohui said that in order to guide more residents to join the ranks of loving and protecting greenery, the community also organized the "Green Beauty Nanjiao" volunteer forest patrol activity, from the end of January to the Spring Festival, about 150 volunteers are expected to participate. In addition to cleaning up the garbage and debris that affect the growth of trees, and checking whether there is any abnormality in the growth of ancient and famous trees, the volunteers also acted as propagandists, telling the neighbors who passed by about the history of ancient and famous trees and Nanjiaoyong. So far, the "Lumei Nanjiao Volunteer Service Team" initiated by the Party branch of Nanjiao Community has attracted more than 200 party members, volunteers and students to actively participate. In addition, the Party Branch of Nanjiao Community also cooperated with the Party Branch of Nanjiao School of Fangcun Primary School to set up a "Folk Forest Chief" class, and held a "second class" about nature for students outdoors.
The protection of Nanjiaoyong has stimulated the power of community co-construction and co-governance, and the interests of residents have also stimulated the vitality of the community. The old people spontaneously formed the Nanjiao Tai Chi Team, the Nan Jiao Feiyan Dance Team, the Nan Jiao Youth Vitality Team and the Riverside Sisters Team and other interest clubs, the old friends often come to practice, get together, and from time to time "PK" Tai Chi Fan Dance, fitness dance and K song, Li Shaohui will also go to the park, alleys and neighbors to "play together", and then listen to everyone's "complaints". The old party members of the community also went out of their homes and into the community to tell the historical stories and red stories of the Nanjiao community to primary and secondary school students, so that the younger generation can also inherit the memories of Nanjiao.
Looking forward to the new year, Li Shaohui hopes to polish the business cards such as river chong management, ancient tree protection, and the revitalization and utilization of ancient buildings, and build Nanjiao into a cultural tourism research destination with "stories everywhere and customs everywhere" through the method of "connecting dots", so that the memory of Nanjiao will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
