Walking into the Haixin Neighborhood Committee of Dongjing Town, a reading living room comes into view, and the bookshelves are full of all kinds of books. "At first, we provided these books for free, and I thought that there would be fewer and fewer books, but now there are more and more books. It was such a small attempt that made Tang Feng, secretary of the general party branch of Haixin residential area, see more possibilities for the community autonomy and co-governance model.
Today, Haixin Community has 12 registered cultural and sports teams, created more than 20 "civilized corridors", and the enthusiasm of residents to participate in community governance has been continuously improved, as if it has become a happy home where everyone participates and everyone has a sense of achievement.
The cultural and sports activities team "blossoms all over the place" and builds its own autonomy to display its talents
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the members of the Haixin Taijiquan team started their daily morning exercise on time, dancing in the morning sun in the soft music melody to soothe their body and mind. Under the leadership of Ni Yanhua, the captain of the Haixin Taijiquan team, 11 members of the team have won the national third-rank certificate and 4 people have obtained the national second-rank certificate. Ni Yanhua's professionalism has also attracted many residents from the surrounding communities to "join the team" to learn, and now, there are nearly 50 team members. "We serve as team leaders by tapping out 'capable people' in the community, and promote the construction of community autonomy while promoting the professional development of the cultural and sports team. Tang Feng said.
Since the release of the "Implementation Measures for the Filing and Registration of Cultural and Sports Teams in Haixin Residential Areas" in March 2020, the party organizations and community neighborhood committees in residential areas have encouraged the filing teams to carry out various activities independently and innovatively. Nowadays, community cultural and sports teams such as tai chi, table tennis, and choirs are "blooming everywhere" in Haixin community. Each team is independently managed by the person in charge, formulates its own organizational rules and regulations, and allocates relatively fixed activity time and activity areas in an orderly manner, so as to rejuvenate the cultural and sports construction with the "self-help" mode. "After self-government, we have more freedom. When a good idea comes up with a team, it can be implemented immediately, and the team grows faster. Ni Yanhua said.
Create a civilized corridor "model room" to solve problems for civil and private people
The level of residents' autonomy has been continuously improved, and the scope has also been expanded, gradually extending from the community to the building group. And this is inseparable from the civilized corridor selection project that has been carried out for many years.
The community has 77 corridors as 77 founding units, and party members, resident leaders, building team leaders and volunteers form an autonomous team. In the process of establishment, residents think, discuss, decide, and do their own things, and their awareness and ability to participate in community public affairs have been continuously improved, which has also allowed more and more residents to go out of their "small homes" and integrate into the community "everyone".
Walking into the No. 49 and No. 51 corridors, which were rated as "Community Civilized Corridors" in 2022 and 2023 respectively, the snow-white walls and the signs that "no storage of sundries" are particularly eye-catching. "It is the residents who know the needs of the residents best, and we have also communicated with each other and renovated all the old walls, and now everyone has responded very well. Everyone is now very conscious and work together to maintain the cleanliness of the corridor. Ye Zhenghong, the leader of the building team, said.
At the same time as the evaluation is carried out, the Haixin community will also conduct a review of the creation of civilization every year, and the corridors that fail to pass the review will be "suspended", so as to encourage the residents of the corridors to continue to exert their enthusiasm for autonomy and retain the achievements of creation. "Next, we envisage the civilized corridor to the creation of a civilized building group, 77 corridors in Haixin City, if each corridor can create a successful civilized corridor, the whole community is an out-and-out civilized community, and this is also our long-term goal to pursue. Tang Feng said.
