"I didn't get rated as a clean household this time, but I will work hard in the future and strive to be rated again. A few days ago, Shazhou Yao Village in Rucheng County carried out a quarterly health evaluation and commendation, and seeing that his family was not listed, villager Zhu Xiaoying secretly made up his mind.
"Now the villagers want to be cleaners from the bottom of their hearts, and the scramble to be the first to create excellence has become a conscious behavior. Tan Shihua, captain of the rural revitalization team stationed in Shazhou Village in Chenzhou City, said that through comprehensive policies, continuous efforts have been made to draw a "concentric circle" of grassroots governance, which has promoted rural governance to a new level. Among them, Zhu Xiaoying is a typical example.
Shazhou Village is the place where the story of "Half a Quilt" takes place. In June 2021, the village-based work team, the two village committees and the youth volunteer team of Shazhou Village set up a special work team to further promote special actions such as cleaning up the stacking of debris, standardizing the placement of stalls, rectifying livestock and poultry, and standardizing the drying of clothes.
Zhu Xiaoying, 59 years old this year, her husband died of illness many years ago, and her son and daughter-in-law used to work abroad all the year round, leaving her young granddaughter to take care of her. In the past, in addition to the messy arrangement of children's toys in her home, the hygiene situation was also worrying due to neglect. At first, when the cadres came to check, she still had a straight face and looked impatient.
Subsequently, young volunteer Zhu Xiaomei and others strengthened communication and heart-to-heart talks with her, and took the initiative to greet her every day when they passed by, shushing the cold and asking about her family routines, so as to understand that she had a misunderstanding about the demolition of the wall of her house and the expropriation of vegetable land when the village planned to build a scenic spot in the village.
Xiao understands doubts and doubts with affection, guides and helps treat high blood sugar diseases, and sends care and condolences from time to time...... Gradually, Zhu Xiaoying's heart knot was opened and relieved by Zhu Xiaomei and the others, and her initiative in participating in the health evaluation took a sharp turn for the worse, and she won the award and was commended in the first quarter of 2022, which is impressive. This year, after learning that Zhu Xiaoying's family was in difficulty, the village included her in the subsistence allowance and arranged for her to be a cleaner. Today, she is enthusiastic about participating in the governance of human settlements.
"Rural governance starts from the heart. Only by drawing concentric circles can we unite the general consensus of concentric peers and stimulate the strong momentum of co-construction and sharing. According to Tan Shihua, Shazhou Village has established a villager council, a moral council, a public security cooperation association and a "four associations" organization of the Good People Association according to local conditions, creating a "branch + N" rural governance matrix, and building a service grid from horizontal to vertical to end. At the same time, innovation has enriched the incentive and guidance mechanism, fully activated the villagers' sense of "ownership", and gathered a strong synergy of rural co-governance.
In order to enhance the enthusiasm of villagers to participate in co-governance, Shazhou Village has spared no effort to improve people's livelihood and well-being. Coordinated the protection of scenic spots and the housing needs of 48 villagers, and started the construction of a happy new village; made use of the growing village collective economy to issue a pension of more than 200 yuan to the elderly every month, and paid half of the medical premiums for the whole village every year; opened a happy canteen to provide free food service for the elderly over 70 years old and sick and disabled households...... While the villagers' sense of happiness and gain is rising, they are also constantly improving their sense of belonging and identity to the village.
"Find the 'center point' of the circle and draw the 'concentric circles', and the road of rural governance will become smoother and wider. Tan Shihua said that Shazhou Village has created a strong atmosphere of creating civilization in the whole village, striving for advanced and building an image of everyone by focusing on the needs and expectations of the masses, actively dredging blockages, solving difficulties, and removing pain points, vigorously gathering the hearts of the people, educating new people, and revitalizing culture.
