We Shijiazhuang has a municipal sanitation workers' day, last year I put forward a suggestion, to set up a national sanitation workers' day, so that the public pay attention to the care of sanitation workers, this year I will continue to start from their own work, and strive for more benefits for our sanitation workers. Ma Changzhai said confidently.
In 2023, Ma Changzhai was elected as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress. Over the past year, she has not only led everyone to do a good job in front-line work, but also took the initiative to understand the interests of sanitation workers during the work break, and strived to put forward some warm and operable suggestions.
In the investigation, Ma Changzhai found that the wages of sanitation workers are low, and the degree of social concern is not high, resulting in problems such as low work enthusiasm and serious personnel loss in the sanitation team.
To this end, she believes that only by increasing wages and providing better protective equipment and vocational training for sanitation workers can we fully mobilize the enthusiasm of "urban beauticians". In addition, she also actively advocated garbage classification and resources**, and put forward suggestions to strengthen environmental protection publicity and education and improve public awareness of environmental protection.
I've been doing this since 2008, when I was 24 years old, and I started trying to take care of my family, and I fell in love with this job, especially when I saw that cleaning the streets was as clean as my own home, which was very rewarding! Ma Changzhai smiled heartily. She started her day at 3 a.m., inspecting and cleaning the seven streets of Xinhua District until 8 p.m., and if it was snowing, she would leave work even later. "Work harder", "Watch the pedestrians", "Hurry up the snow and expose the zebra crossing" ......On the day of the snow on February 20, under the leadership of Ma Changzhai, the workers swept the streets in an orderly manner.

With a lot of energy, Ma Changzhai has won the honorary titles of "Best Urban Beautician", "National Outstanding Migrant Worker" and "The Most Beautiful Migrant Worker in Hebei Province" for many times, and last year he also led the team to win the eighth batch of national Lei Feng activity demonstration sites, Shijiazhuang City Lei Feng Activity Model Post, Hebei Province Worker Pioneer, Shijiazhuang City Worker Pioneer and other honorary titles.
After becoming a deputy to the National People's Congress, Ma Changzhai has a habit of taking time to read books and newspapers every day, no matter how tired he is, "I know that I represent not only the group of sanitation workers, but also the majority of grassroots workers." ”
During the two sessions last year, Ma Changzhai (third from right) exchanged views with other delegates.
The two sessions of the National People's Congress are about to be held, and Ma Changzhai is full of expectations, "I will actively contribute to the voices of our sanitation workers and bring back good policies." ”
