Recently, there is a forty-year-old brother in Anhui, because he saw that their road was too dark at night, which brought a lot of trouble to everyone's travel, and there may be potential safety hazards, so he bought 58 solar street lamps out of his own pocket and installed them along the 3-kilometer-long road. How good the solar street lamp is, both environmentally friendly and energy-saving, the big brother's move, obviously wants to use his own strength to improve everyone's life, full of public welfare, it is really moving.
However, kindness can sometimes encounter "embarrassment". Although this eldest brother has a very good starting point, he installed the street lights by himself without the approval of the relevant departments, which is a bit of a "minefield" of urban management. You see, the city's public facilities, such as street lights, are not just installed and installed, but have to consider a series of issues such as safety, resource allocation, and environmental protection, and have to go through strict planning, design, construction, and acceptance steps. Big brother, although your private installation is bright, but in case the product quality is not up to standard, the position of the installation is not right, the light is dazzling, or there is any adverse impact on the surrounding environment, or even causes power failures and waste of resources, isn't this counterproductive?
So, the government came out to make a statement. They said that the installation of street lights is a big deal, and it must be done according to the rules, and it cannot be done privately. Now the eldest brother is required to dismantle these privately installed street lights, and then go through the formal procedures to re-bid and install them. This is done in order to comply with the law, and for the safety and interests of everyone, after all, an open and fair bidding can select the most cost-effective and compliant products and services.
At the same time, the government also understands the philanthropy of the eldest brother, and instead of simply saying "you can't pretend to be good", they point out what is wrong, tell him that he should follow the rules, and encourage him to continue to contribute to the community within the legal framework. This is to tell everyone that it is good to be warm-hearted, but you must understand the law and abide by the law, and solve problems in the right way.
In fact, this incident has also triggered some thinking about the relationship between individual public welfare actions and how to manage the whole society. On the one hand, it is a good thing that individuals take the initiative to care about the community and improve the environment, which shows that everyone has a sense of social responsibility, which is a manifestation of social progress. But on the other hand, everyone must do things under the constraints of the law, respect the rules, and don't let good intentions do bad things and affect the public interest, which is the basic principle of modern social management.
So, how can we make individual public welfare actions and rules and regulations better "shake hands and make peace" and jointly promote social progress? The government can think of ways to improve the relevant laws and regulations, simplify the approval process, and make it more convenient for everyone to do public welfare. At the same time, we should popularize legal knowledge and enhance everyone's concept of the legal system. In society, we can also encourage various organizations, enterprises and individuals to participate in community governance, such as setting up special public welfare platforms, funds, etc., to guide and regulate everyone's public welfare behavior.
In general, the installation of street lamps by the eldest brother in Anhui is an example of the collision between individual public welfare actions and rules and regulations. It tells us that to do good deeds is to follow the rules and respect public order. At the same time, the government and society should also create conditions for individual public welfare actions to play a greater role in the track of the rule of law, and everyone should work together to make our communities and societies better. This incident should not just end with the demolition of street lights, but should become a good opportunity to promote social management innovation and stimulate public participation.
