Since the pilot project of deepening co-creation was launched in December 2023, Xia Jiazhuo, Fengxin Village, Fengshan Town, Xiaochang County, has wanted to be together, worked together, and went both ways. Take the lead in demolishing "transparency", turning "blocking points" into "scenic spots", making three feet of land convenient for all Bay people, donating self-built houses, building a happy home, and other small stories of jointly creating a happy home are being staged here.
Villager Xia Shengqiang has been working outside for many years, and his family's ancestral house has been vacant and uninhabited. Since the launch of the joint creation, the masses have a high demand for the construction of a small square in the bay, and the location of Xia Shengqiang's ancestral house is the most suitable place, so the bay group council called him. After careful consideration, Xia Shengqiang voluntarily demolished this ancestral house for the development of the village bay and the convenience of the villagers.
"We are six families who want to donate their homestead for the benefit of future generations. We are also willing to participate in the joint creation and contribute to the construction of the village bay. Xia Shengqiang, a villager in Fengxin Village, Fengshan Town, said.
Xia Shengqiang's behavior of "giving up a small family for everyone" not only brought changes to the village, but also set an example for the masses, under their drive, one-third of the villagers in the bay took the initiative to demolish the old and demolish the danger, let the land for profit, and the front and back of the house were leveled and beautified, and the environment of the village bay took on a new look. Villager Xia Guoming is one of them, he paid out of his own pocket to plant various seedlings and flowers in the vacant land in front of the house, so that Xia Jiazhu looks more vibrant.
"I bought a batch of trees at my own expense and planted them around my house in order to make the village a better place. Xia Guoming, a 78-year-old villager from Fengxin Village, said.
Wang Xia is the daughter-in-law of Xia Jiazhuo who married from other places to Fengxin Village, and has settled in other places for many years, when the whole village is actively participating in the construction of the village, she also realized her own responsibility, and decided to make some contributions to the village bay, and donated her two-story house with a total of more than 160 square meters to transform it into a happy home for Xia Jiazhu.
In Xiajiazhuo, the key to the greater enthusiasm of the cadres to devote themselves to "co-creation" lies in the "golden key" of co-creating the working method. Xia Jiazhuo co-created work adheres to the "five principles" of party building leading autonomy, mass democratic decision-making, mass participation, mass self-management, and government substitution with awards. In the decision-making, implementation, supervision, management and other links, the formation of the masses to participate in the whole process of the institutional mechanism, so that the masses become the decision-makers, managers and supervisors of rural construction, development and governance.
"We elected the Xia Jiazhu Council and the Villagers' Representative Council to cultivate the backbone of the masses and let the masses mobilize the masses. In the past, no matter how big or small, the masses mostly had a wait-and-see attitude, but now the thinking has changed, and every villager knows that he is the leading force and participates in it with a sense of ownership. Nie Runhua, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Fengxin Village, Fengshan Town, said.
Now Xia Jiazhuo, the organization is selected together, the planning is sought together, the funds are raised together, the construction is done together, and the mechanism is built together, and the "five together" work method of Xia Jiazhu has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"The sanitation in front of the house and behind the house, the villagers and the person in charge of the area should participate in the joint improvement of the environmental sanitation in the bay. Xia Shubin, a villager in Fengxin Village, Fengshan Town, said.
