Editor's note. The grass and trees are sprawling, and the spring mountains can be seen. In the vibrant land of Jiangxi, the picture of the New Year is slowly unfolding. The Chinese veterans' all-** reporting team walked into Jiujiang, Yichun, Fuzhou, Nanchang and other places in Jiangxi, from "Xunyang Jiangtou" to "the place where the military flag is raised", from the warm "supporting the army street" to the vibrant veterans' employment and entrepreneurship incubation base, to see the new atmosphere and new changes, and record the solid footprint of the Jiangxi Provincial Veterans Affairs Department to make full use of the rich red resources, explore new paths, plan new development, and promote the implementation of veterans' service guarantee work.
Jiujiang: In Xunyang, find the "road to support the army".
The military and civilians are a family, and we feel very honored to be able to provide preferential services to our comrades-in-arms. As a representative of the merchants of Xunyang District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, Tao Chunxiu, the person in charge of Jiujiang Yuda Real Estate Development, said, "In addition to exempting active soldiers, military martyrs, and retired soldiers from intermediary fees, we also want to provide them with better services and polish the 'Army Alliance' logo in the store more brightly." ”
In the lakeside community, there are still 113 shops like Yuda Real Estate. In September 2023, the Jiujiang Veterans Affairs Bureau and 23 ** departments in Xunyang District jointly created the "One Street for Supporting the Army", awarding the plaque of "Military Three-Excellent Service Unit" to the main road and shops along the street of Hubin Shuangyong Community, and posting the "Supporting the Army" logo, providing "three-excellent" services with priority status, high-quality service and preferential consumption to active-duty soldiers, retired soldiers and other preferential care objects.
Snack bar, fruit shop, photo studio, ......Each shop is a 'window to support the army', where veterans come to eat a bowl of steaming rice noodles and take a family photo with their families, making this street more fireworks and warmer to support the army. For Wei Rongrong, director of the Xunyang District Veterans Affairs Bureau, taking a walk on the "street supporting the army" made her have many moving moments.
The Xunyang District Veterans Affairs Bureau organized a propaganda activity of "Inheriting the Red Gene and Cultivating Patriotic Feelings", and invited Wang Ganbo, a 92-year-old veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, to tell the children stories on the battlefield.
Towering Jinggang Mountain, surging Ganjiang River water ......In the community square, Liu Guangbei, a veteran of the war, was telling red stories to the children in the winter and summer vacation public welfare care classes.
The veterans and children all live in the lakeside Shuangyong community, where every corner is a red propaganda stage, and the seeds of dedication to national defense are planted in the hearts of every child. Yang Xiangui, secretary of the Party branch of the veterans of the lakeside community, is a veteran of the war, and while serving as the red propagandist of the community, he has never been absent in the red *** exhibition and "big hand holding small hand" and "red podium" and other double-support theme activities jointly organized by the Xunyang District Veterans Affairs Bureau and the community.
Double support is not just a concept in books, double support is in the community, right at the door of the house, and the 'Yongjun Road' is at the foot. Yang Xiangui's words were loud. Behind him, veterans of the "Golden Sunset Double Support Choir" in the lakeside community were rehearsing "Ten to the Red Army", and the children who had just finished school gathered around their grandparents, clapping their hands and singing along.
The "Military Flavor" is full of "Supporting the Army Street" and "Double Support Theme Cultural Corridor", and the "Double Support Community" and "Supporting Army Square" are ......In Jiujiang, a city that integrates Jiuchuan, the eternal flow of support for the army is like a continuous river, which is endless.
Yichun: The smile on their faces is spring.
The aunt is a little further to the left, and the uncle's chin is ...... a little more **At the home of the martyr Wannianhong in Jianshan Town, Gao'an City, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province, members of the "New Long March" Veterans Volunteer Service Team of Gao'an City are assisting photographers in taking wedding photos for the martyrs' parents. Wan Haigen, 90, and Tao Jianying, 81, sat in the middle of the courtyard, wearing red traditional wedding dresses with warm smiles on their faces.
In order to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the martyrs' families, the Gao'an Veterans Affairs Bureau will launch the "Light up Micro Wishes, Realize Dream Wedding Photos" activity in September 2023, and cooperate with local photography agencies to take wedding photos for the parents of martyrs, veterans of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and demobilized soldiers in their hometowns for free, so as to realize a wedding dream for them. "So far, we have completed the filming for 29 groups of veteran families and martyrs' parents, and the next step is to shoot for the city's veteran couples over 80 years old. Fu Yongjun, a member of the Gao'an "New Long March" Veterans Volunteer Service Team, introduced.
At the event site of "Light up Micro Wishes, Dream Wedding Photos" organized by the Gao'an Veterans Affairs Bureau, the photographer took wedding photos for the parents of the martyrs.
In the early winter, Yichun is already a little chilly, and in the old man's courtyard, the warm sun is shining, and the daisies are still open. "In addition to renovating the homes of the martyrs, we have also equipped the elderly with wheelchairs, toilets, hearing aids and some household appliances. Xiao Gengqiang, a staff member of the Gao'an Veterans Affairs Bureau, picked up a brand-new kettle on the dining table of the martyr's family as he spoke, "This kind of kettle with voice prompt function is very suitable for the elderly, which is safe and convenient." ”
In order to ensure the safety of the martyrs' families in their home care and improve the happiness of the martyrs' parents in their later years, the Gao'an Veterans Service Center will begin to renovate the indoor hardware facilities of the martyrs' houses in May 2023 and configure the best facilities. "The service center invited professionals to make the ceiling, waterproof, and paint the walls of the house, and the martyrs who had completed the renovation felt like they were living in a new home. Xiao said stronger.
They will visit the elderly every festival, and they have solved a lot of practical difficulties for the family, really like relatives. Speaking of the "New Long March" retired military volunteer service team, the corners of Wan Nianxiang's eyes moistened the eyes of Wan Nian Hong's sister.
Since the launch of the "Caring for the Martyrs and Doing Practical Things for the Martyrs' Families", the Yichun Veterans Affairs Department has organized staff and members of the "New Long March" Veterans Volunteer Service Team to visit the martyrs' parents on their birthdays and important festivals every year, and to do practical things for the martyrs' families and fulfill their filial piety for the martyrs.
Chatting with the elderly, giving them haircuts, cutting their nails, and taking them to participate in free clinic activities, we do all the small things and things around us, in order to make the martyrs feel warmth and respect in these small things. Hu Xiaohui, director of the Yichun Veterans Affairs Bureau, said.
It was noon when I left the house of the martyr Wannian Hong. The group walked to the mouth of the alley, and when they looked back, the two old men were still standing at the door waving, their smiles as warm as spring.
Fuzhou: Employment and entrepreneurship, "Hui" has a future.
Our industrial park mainly produces new energy vehicles and parts, with more than 20,000 employees ......Xie Lehui, an employee of Fuzhou New Energy Automobile Industrial Park and a retired soldier, talked about the situation in the park with relish.
After Xie Lehui, who joined the company in 2022, entered the industrial park, he quickly emerged and was transferred to the office with a drive that did not admit defeat. In the industrial park, there are more than 300 retired soldiers who have similar experiences to him, and favorable policies such as "basic salary is 100 yuan to 300 yuan higher than that of ordinary employees" and "priority for retired soldiers when promoting cadres" have attracted a large number of retired soldiers to take root here.
I took a lot of detours to find a job before, but it was our veterans' special job fair that made me find this satisfactory job. Xie Lehui is especially happy to share his job search experience.
It is our bounden duty to build a two-way choice service platform, provide more employment opportunities for veterans, and deliver more outstanding veterans talents for enterprises. Wang Wuhui, director of the Fuzhou Veterans Affairs Bureau, introduced. Since 2023, Fuzhou has held a total of 25 online and offline special job fairs for veterans, with a total of 495 family units providing 110,000 jobs to check the pulse and escort the employment of veterans.
At the special job fair for veterans held in Fuzhou City, veterans are filling in the information. Photo by Jiebin Yao.
I have worked in logistics, run business, and worked as a driver......I tried a lot of jobs, but I still wanted to start a business. In the face of different choices, retired soldier Huang Xuegang adhered to his original intention, "You must break through by yourself!" ”
Taking the first step is the hardest thing for entrepreneurs. In 2020, Huang Xuegang, who was worried about the entrepreneurial project, "encountered" the school furniture industry incubation base for veterans in Nancheng County, Fuzhou City. "I heard that the veterans' school furniture industry incubation base can provide entrepreneurial services for veterans, so I signed up for the first time to participate in the business training and mechanical practical operation training of the sales staff organized by the incubation base. While learning management methods and sales skills, Huang Xuegang also accumulated a lot of contacts, and a year later, he had a plan to open a school furniture processing factory.
Knowing that I was going to set up a factory, the comrades in the incubation base enthusiastically and meticulously helped me analyze the development status of the industry and guide me how to start, for fear that I would not have mastered any skills. Huang Xuegang's gratitude was overflowing, "Here, I found the feeling of coming home." ”
We adopt the incubation model of 'incubation service + entrepreneurship training' to provide veterans with 'one-to-one' professional services such as entrepreneurship guidance, industry analysis, technical training, rent reduction and exemption, and loan support. Yuan Jianxin, head of the school furniture industry incubation base for veterans in Nancheng County, said.
In March 2021, Huang Xuegang successfully applied for a business loan of 5 million yuan, and Jiangxi Beyond Educational Equipment "broke out of the shell" from the school furniture industry incubation base and opened smoothly. From scratch, from small to large, Huang Xuegang's company has now begun to take shape, with nearly 90 technicians.
Nanchang: The sense of gain comes from every effort.
Every scar of a soldier is a military merit medal ......Yu Liyou, a retired soldier from the "Veterans Propaganda Group" in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, is telling red stories to the students of Zhenxing Road Primary School in Nanchang County.
If the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and if the youth is independent, the country will be independent. When asked what he had gained in this class, Xiong Zhennan, a third-grade student, said firmly: "I especially like to listen to Uncle Yu's lectures, and I want to join the army and defend my family and country when I grow up." ”
Combined with my own experience in the army, tell the red story well, and let the seeds of patriotism and respect for the army take root and sprout in the hearts of children, I will persist in this matter for a lifetime. As a member of the "Veterans Propaganda Group", Yu Liyou is very proud.
As a "hero city", Nanchang is rich in red resources. With this advantage, the Nanchang Veterans Affairs Bureau has made great efforts to expand the extension of the service guarantee work for veterans by building the "August 1st" ideological and political lecture hall and carrying out paired assistance for veteran party members.
Relying on the city, county, township and village four-level service guarantee system and online service platform, we have created more than 2,000 'Bayi lecture halls' and carried out more than 4,500 'cloud classrooms' and red education activities. Hao Mingxuan, a staff member of the Nanchang Veterans Service Center, introduced, "Our 'veteran propaganda group' regularly carries out tour propaganda activities, entering schools, enterprises and communities, and at present, more than 200 lectures have been carried out, with more than 120,000 participants." ”
It has always been the direction of our efforts to make veterans feel more rewarded. Liu Qihu, director of the Nanchang Veterans Affairs Bureau, said. In order to explore a new model of service guarantee for retired military party members, Nanchang City relies on service centers (stations) at all levels to set up "August 1st" service stations for retired military party members to guide veterans to help each other and move forward hand in hand.
Lu Junfeng, a retired soldier, is a beneficiary of this service guarantee model. After retiring, he has not been able to find a suitable job, and his family burden is heavier. He made a special trip to Lu Junfeng's home to provide him with pertinent advice on employment and career development. Under the help of the "old squad leader" Wang Jun, Lu Junfeng quickly grew up and founded an independent enterprise, with a turnover of 20 million yuan, becoming a leader in the industry. "Pulling a handful of 'old comrades-in-arms' is what I should do, on the road to common prosperity, no one can be left behind! For being able to help more retired soldiers, Wang Jun has a full sense of gain.
In Nanchang, there are still many retired soldiers like Wang Jun, and at present, 2,172 pairs have been paired. Among them, there are not only the "most beautiful retired soldiers" in Jiangxi Province, but also the members of the "Bayi" service station for retired military party members. They carry out paired assistance in a "one-to-one" and "one-to-two" manner, relying on their own advantages, some as ideological counselors and policy propagators, and some as rights defenders, life solvers and employment and entrepreneurship guides. In pairing, there is a strong sense of comradeship, and in helping, it is the happiness and joy of reaching oneself.
Ganzhou: Quantitative performance, the "military merit medal" of volunteer service
Implement a quantitative system of volunteer service for veterans, and the more you help, the more points you will ......At the Quannan County Veterans Service Center in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, veterans of the "New Long March" Veterans Volunteer Service Team are making statistics on their service content and duration according to the quantitative schedule of ideological and political guidance. Subsequently, the staff will register each person, organize the ledger, and reward everyone. Sometimes the prize is a bucket of oil, sometimes a bar of soap, although it is small, but it can stimulate the enthusiasm of the team members. Zeng Guangshou, captain of the "New Long March" retired military volunteer service team in Quannan County, said.
Hu Qiugui is a retired veteran of the war in Huichang County, and his family life is difficult. After understanding the situation, Lai Huan, captain of the "New Long March" Veterans Volunteer Service Team in Huichang County, together with the team members, took the initiative to solve problems for him. "They helped me find a way to increase my family's income and helped me coordinate the construction of a fish pond. Hu Qiugui said gratefully: "After hearing that my wife can make wine and tofu, the volunteers helped her find a stall to sell tofu, and our family's life is getting better now." Subsequently, he took the initiative to join this big family and began to participate in volunteer services.
Just finished a volunteer service, and you can add 1 point again! Veteran Zhong Xiangqi opened the quantitative list on his body. "The quantification table is like our military merit medal, one more point is one more honor. ”
Hu Shiwen, a first-class heroic model, preached on campus.
The New Long March Veterans Volunteer Service Team is our brightest touch. Xiong Yu, deputy director of the Ganzhou Veterans Affairs Bureau, said, "It is our responsibility to do a good job in ideological and political guidance and guide veterans to take the lead in urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks." ”
User level V4, Glory ** rank, blood type O, 50 unpaid blood donations, total blood donation 19,800 ml ......Guo Yifa, a "good man in Ganzhou" from Rongjiang New Area, is a member of the "New Long March" veterans volunteer service team in Ganzhou City, and has been donating blood for nearly 6 years.
In Ganzhou, there are more than 20,000 retired military volunteers like Guo Yifa, who are busy on the fronts of rural revitalization, volunteer service, and conflict mediation, and have become the city's indispensable red "screws".
Jingdezhen: "100%" in "Porcelain Capital".
I am very satisfied with the position offered by the power supply company and hope that I can adapt to the new working environment as soon as possible and make a difference. Cheng Lunsi, who had served in a department of the armed police in Xinjiang, retired in December 2022, and in August 2023, he successfully joined the Fuliang County Power Supply Branch of the State Grid through the retired sergeant selection meeting organized by the Fuliang County Veterans Affairs Bureau of Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province.
In order to ensure fairness and justice, we organize the selection of posts in strict accordance with the principle of 'three openness'. Fang Pingsheng, a staff member of the Jingdezhen Veterans Affairs Bureau, introduced, "The file points of each demobilized sergeant are made public, so that everyone can understand their own job selection; Disclose the positions to be selected, and the staff will give a brief description of each position before the selection; The results of the selection are made public, so that the entire selection process forms a 'closed loop'. Fang Pingsheng, who has organized 8 job selection meetings, said: "Every time I walk out of the venue, the word I hear the most is 'satisfaction', and when they are satisfied with their posts, we feel at ease and comfortable." ”
After completing the job selection, I need to sign on the spot and confirm by my fingerprint, everything is formal and orderly, and I feel very down-to-earth. Zhang Zhongbin, like Cheng Lunsi, was placed in a central enterprise and has joined the Fuliang County Tobacco Monopoly Bureau. In his own words, it was the "best choice" that was made.
In 2023, after understanding the basic situation, the public institutions affiliated to the Jingdezhen Municipal Public Security Bureau took the initiative to ask to accept 3 demobilized sergeants, and many units wrote and called to express their willingness to take out posts to accept retired soldiers. In the view of Xiao Jianzhong, director of the Jingdezhen Veterans Affairs Bureau, from the previous "pressing task" to the current "initiative", each post is full of the political responsibility of Jingdezhen City's leading departments at all levels, enterprises and institutions to support the cause of national defense.
While coordinating high-quality posts, the Jingdezhen Veterans Affairs Bureau allows veterans to form a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of the post and the matching degree of people and posts through targeted policy guidance and pre-job adaptability training, so as to establish a correct concept of career choice, and make choices in line with the actual situation according to their own strengths and advantages.
I also participated in the pre-job adaptation training, which really benefited a lot. As a demobilized sergeant in 2023, for Cheng Lunsi, the scene of participating in the training is still vivid. "Not only was I able to learn more about the position, but through in-depth exchanges with teachers and comrades-in-arms, I also solved some policy concerns. ”
By actively safeguarding the vital interests of veterans and ensuring the quantity and quality of posts, the resettlement level of Jingdezhen City has increased year by year. Let the veterans play a role in the right positions, and let the troops, receiving units and veterans feel "100%" satisfied, this vision is becoming a reality in Jingdezhen, a beautiful "porcelain capital".
Xinyu: The happy taste of "nursing home".
Hello Aunt Shi! It's been raining for several days in a row, and today is a rare sunny day, and I want to carry Uncle Cai out to bask in the sun for a while, is it convenient for you to see? "At 10 o'clock in the morning, Sun Jinzhong, a staff member of the military retired cadres recuperation center in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, dialed the ** of Cai Faxiang, a military retired cadre who was sick and bedridden. Thank you so much, we'll pack it up now. Cai Faxiang's family member Shi Xiulan said. "Uncle Cai, as long as the weather is good, we will take you out for a walk and breathe more fresh air. Sun Jinzhong pushed the wheelchair and took the old man to the community square, "I have already told Aunt Shi that she doesn't have to cook at noon, and the military retirement 'nursing home' will deliver lunch to your home." ”
On April 22, 2020, with the support and help of the Xinyu Veterans Affairs Bureau, the Xinyu City Military Retired Cadres Rest House established contact with a number of communities to establish a military retirement "nursing home" in the residential area of military retired cadres.
There are quite a few elderly retired military cadres in the institute who have difficulty cooking because their children are not with them or because they are sick. The 'nursing home' is to let them eat hot meals on time, their stomachs are warm, and their hearts are not lonely. Xiao Jinhua, director of the Xinyu City Military Retired Cadres Recuperation Center, introduced.
Retired military cadres from the Xinyu City Military Retired Cadres Recuperation Center are having lunch at the "Retirement Home" for Military Retirement.
Today there were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised fish, and my wife's favorite glutinous rice lotus. 78-year-old Xia Huigui walked out of the military retirement "nursing home" in the Ping'an Road community with a lunch box, "I only need to pay 5 yuan for such a lunch." The smile on the old man's face could not be hidden. In the three years since its opening, the new service method of "nursing home" for military retirement has made military retired cadres feel the warmth of "home".
Visiting our uncles and aunts to do a big cleaning is like spending time with our family. For Sun Jinzhong, although the daily work of the military rest house is ordinary, it can get a different sense of achievement.
In addition to the regular visits and ledger services of the staff, the Xinyu City Military Retired Cadres Recuperation Center and the local physical examination center and the community jointly carried out the "Caring for Veterans Action", providing free physical examinations, haircuts, small household appliance maintenance, pipeline dredging and other door-to-door services. "When we encountered a problem, we wanted to give a ** to the military rest house as soon as possible. For Cai Faxiang and Shi Xiulan, this "home" has become a place they can't live without.
Responsive and available. In this kind of "child-like" intimate service, there is a simple and warm "happy taste", which is also the brand taste of the "nursing home" for military leave.
