When the wall is pushed down, it is the door, and when the heart is open, there is a road.
On September 20, Dongsheng Community of Panhuang Street, Yandu District, Yancheng City, advanced to Hexin Huayuan Community. In the morning sun, the sun sprinkled on the courtyard on the first floor, and Dong Xuejun, an 81-year-old retired soldier, moved his injured legs and staggered in the courtyard." The community environment is good, the first floor with yard, there is sunshine, just in line with our wishes. His wife, Xu Xiuzhen, said that they were new residents who had just moved in. The old couple originally lived in a small high-rise building, it was inconvenient to get in and out, and Dong Xuejun, who suffered from leg diseases, had difficulty going downstairs to breathe all year in addition to seeing a doctor. The elderly yearn for a home with a courtyard on the first floor, and on August 1 this year, they got their wish.
The Hexin Garden, which makes Dong and his wife happy, is transformed from 8 old residential areas in the Panhuang Distillery area of Yandu District. Located in the south bustling area of Daqing Road in Yancheng District, the original function is missing, the supporting facilities are incomplete, and the management is not good, and now it has been reborn, the wall has been broken and the "heart wall" has been demolished, the environment has changed greatly, the neighborhood is harmonious, the party and the masses are united, and it has become a new home for 1430 people in 572 households in the area.
As the first batch of pilot projects of "creating a beautiful environment and a happy life together", Yandu District of Yancheng City seized the opportunity to first promote the continuous improvement of 8 old communities in the distillery area, and actively explored the transformation of old communities and the road of new life.
The dilemma of the "Eight Greats"
The 8 "three more and one chaos" old residential areas were originally the "eight big people" who were listed and supervised every year.
"When I first moved in, I was most worried about the rain." On the afternoon of September 15, looking at the dark and heavy sky outside the window, Li Dongmei said that she bought this second-hand house in 2018 and regretted it half a year later.
Her husband was from Shandong, and after several trips to Yancheng to work, Li Dongmei took her daughter and followed her. The second-hand house of more than 60 square meters on the 5th floor of the winery dormitory building is their small home.
"If the rain is heavier, the water will seep into the house from the cracks in the outer wall, and the road downstairs is seriously waterlogged, and there is no place to get off the feet." Li Dongmei said. What bothered her the most was the charging cable of the electric car, pulled from the house to the downstairs. "Electric cars have nowhere to charge, this flying wire is left by the landlord. From the front row of buildings to the back rows of warehouses, flying lines intertwine overhead, like a huge cobweb. ”
"Outsider" Li Dongmei is constantly troubled, and in the dormitory building of the Public Security Bureau across the wall, Hu Zongfan, a 77-year-old "aboriginal", feels even more deeply: "The garbage in the stinky ditch is piled up in a mountain. Now the east gate of Hexin Garden is built on the stinky ditch in the past, and this time of remediation, do you know how much garbage the big truck dragged away? Exactly 500 cars! ”
The environment is poor, and people are also born. Li Dongmei said that just a few bare buildings, out of the community door is the vegetable market, the daughter can not find a playmate. Hu Zongfan also felt that the days were "stuffy", "everyone lives behind closed doors, and rarely moves around." ”
The distillery area covers an area of 49.5 acres, with 8 old residential areas such as winery, shoe factory and boiler factory, a total of 18 buildings, mostly 5 to 7 floors, built in the 1990s, with a total construction area of 59,200 square meters.
"The difficulties of the old community can be called here, all kinds of complaints are continuous, and the streets do everything in their power, but the symptoms are not cured." There are many hidden dangers, the masses reflect many problems, the creation of civilization has lost many points, and the management order is chaotic, which is a typical 'three more and one chaos' community, and the listing supervision cannot run every time. Xu Qilou, deputy mayor of Yandu District, said frankly.
Enlightenment: The community is the "last hundred meters" for the party and the government to connect and serve the people. The old community in a state of "out of control" needs not only "face", but also "lime", and only by putting the demands of the masses in the first place in the transformation can we fundamentally make the old community look new.
Special motions
"Eight people" is like 8 bitter melons, tied together, can it produce new vitality?
In June 2019, the leaders of the Urban Construction Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development came to Yandu to inspect, and after seeing the renovation site of an old residential area, they turned around and asked Xu Wencai, director of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Yandu District, which old residential area to rectify next?
"Winery dormitory building."
Coming to the winery dormitory building, the leader looked around, "Isn't there all the old buildings around here?" ”
This sentence, Xu Wencai pondered for several days and suddenly opened up, "Why not transform 8 communities in succession?"
When the motion was put on the table, many people in the district and street cadres smacked their lips: This is a "hot potato."
"In the past, the 'old reform' was to brush the wall to repair the corridor, but this time it can open all 8 residential walls?"
"The workload is indeed large, but the effect is good, and the masses can get more benefits." Xu Wencai is full of confidence - safety is the biggest hidden danger, there is no fire passage in 8 communities, every home "flying line charging", continuous rectification, the problem can be solved; the winery area is north of Daqing Road, west of the West Ring Road, two main roads have urban rain and sewage pipe network, the community rain and sewage diversion can be broken; more importantly, continuous rectification, wall demolition, space open, the community naturally stretched, can free up more space, so that residents can share the "old reform" dividend...
Soon, the motion for continuous remediation was fully supported by the main leaders of Yancheng City and Yandu District. In August 2019, the Panhuang Distillery Area in Yandu District was listed as the first batch of pilot projects in the country to carry out the activity of "Creating a Beautiful Environment and a Happy Life Together". In August of the following year, the province and the municipality included the project into the key projects of the three-year action of beautiful city construction and the transformation of old residential areas.
Inspiration: Promote the continuous transformation of 8 communities, find a way in a larger space, conform to the law of urban development, and win everything in one fell swoop. "Old reform" changes the old, creates the new, and "eight big people" become "a big family" and has become more vigorous.
The "broken wall" is wide
In December 2019, Yandu District set up a "joint creation" work leading group, and the winery area transformation project was launched.
"The planning drawings for residents' opinions were posted, and none of the 8 communities let the community cadres in the door." Xie Xiaofeng was originally the director of the Panhuang Street Environmental Protection And Violation Office, and came to assist the Dongsheng community in promoting the transformation work.
The "eight big people" each have a "small nine-nine", and the masses' thinking is not unified --
"We'll just have one or two buildings, and after the merger, why not?"
"The renovation is only superficial, and in the end it is not going to be demolished?"
"If you change it like that, you will definitely have to pay the property fee in the future."
"It looks like a good thing, but can it really be changed?"
In the view of Xie Xiaofeng, who has done more than 10 years of demolition work, the transformation of the winery area is the most difficult, but the more difficult it is, the more it tests the wisdom of work. "If you don't let in during the day, you will enter at night, and if you don't let in, you will invite residents to the headquarters, and if you don't talk to us, you will invite influential people to talk." Xie Xiaofeng said that for this reason, they did "subtraction", dividing the 8 communities into 6 batches to do the work, first easy and then difficult! The first were the boiler factory and the EPA dormitory, which had fewer occupants, and when the fence was demolished, the view opened up. The second batch, the public security bureau and the court dormitory; the third batch, the grain bureau dormitory... To the sixth batch of winery dormitories, 5 buildings, 144 households, the most resistance.
"We started talking from the families of party members, laying out the facts, settling accounts, and talking more about the new atmosphere and new life after the transformation." Song Guangquan worked as the director of the distillery, and this time he was invited by community cadres to assist in the work." After all, it was once a unit, and everyone was willing to sell me this face. ”
"It is difficult to do the design and construction drawings for the new community on white paper, and to do a 'continuous stage operation' for the 8 old communities, which is very difficult, and we have encountered it for the first time." Ma Shubing, an engineer at Jiangsu Second Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., said that they were responsible for drawing construction drawings according to the renovation design plan, and the complex situation on the site and the different ideas of residents forced them to continuously optimize the plan. "Looking back now, the transformation of the winery area is a high starting point design, high standard transformation, and high-quality construction."
Breaking the wall and demolishing illegal construction, drawing fire passages, building garages, as well as "underground projects" such as rain and sewage diversion, line poles falling to the ground... There are 30 projects in four categories, each of which is aimed at the pain points and difficulties that residents strongly reflect.
The construction team wanted electricity, and Hu Zongfan called them to come to their home to receive electricity. On a rainy day, the construction workers got wet, and she brought clothes to change for the workers." I am a 50-year-old party member, and I always have to make a sample! Party members set an example, and residents supported. By last year's Spring Festival, the renovation work continued to advance, demolishing 800 meters of walls, 1,500 square meters of illegal buildings, and relocating 99 old carports. The functional shortcomings of the old community have been rapidly improved. Today's distillery area has been completely "transformed", and the party and mass service center, leisure square, cultural corridor, etc. have been newly built, and other activity venues such as chess and card rooms, calligraphy and painting rooms have been added, and new parking lots and fitness squares have been built.
In November last year, the Dongsheng community was replaced, and Xie Xiaofeng became the general secretary of the community party branch with 95% of the vote.
Enlightenment: The transformation of the distillery area is the first continuous rectification project of the old community in Yandu District, and the "first push" means that there is no ready-made experience to learn from, and the continuous piece "needs the courage to break the wall." Breaking the wall, breaking the visible wall, but also opening the invisible "heart wall".
Breakthrough of zero
7 floors, 123 steps, the reporter climbed up, panting.
Yao Jianying, 78, and his sister Yao Wanying once lived on the 6th and 7th floors of the community, respectively. In 2003, they moved here. In 2018, the unexpected reality is in front of us: it is too difficult to climb the stairs. In particular, Yao Wanying, who suffers from arthritis herself, and her wife is in a wheelchair and cannot go downstairs all day. At the end of that year, the two sisters had no choice but to move out of the community. "We still want to move back in and hope to get on the elevator a day earlier!"
"You can't imagine how hard it is to install an elevator!" Qian Qin, director of women's department in Dongsheng Community, mentioned this "groundbreaking" incident and was very emotional.
Xie Xiaofeng said that if you do more work, even if you only install one, you have to try.
An elevator is 347,000 yuan, the government finance and the community improvement headquarters each subsidize 100,000 yuan, and the household bears 147,000 yuan. Take a 5-story building, the first and second floors do not pay, and the residents of the third, fourth and fifth floors pay 19,500 yuan, 24,500 yuan and 29,500 yuan respectively. The community promises that the electricity and maintenance costs for the first 3 years of the elevator will be borne by the community.
The loudest opposition is the first and second floor residents: install elevators, affect the light, hinder travel, bring noise, and the house depreciates!
"The working group went down to do the work door to door, but it just couldn't do it. It is impossible to blossom everywhere, so it is important to break through. "Qian Qin locked the breakthrough in the dormitory area of the boiler factory." A deputy general manager of the boiler factory lives on the 5th floor, and there is an old party member living opposite, who all have the intention of installing an elevator and have appeal among the masses. ”
In those days, Qian Qin ran to the residents' homes every day carrying the materials of the elevator company, and also ran 4 times to the boiler factory with the consultation form, asking the leaders of the unit to do the work together. After more than half a year, on May 20 last year, the first elevator of Hexin Garden broke ground and achieved a breakthrough of zero.
"It's too hard!" Qian Qin was trying to relax, Xie Xiaofeng gave her encouragement, "More than 30% of the elderly over 60 years old in the community, the installation of elevators has begun, and then strive to fight for the good things of benefiting the people." ”
"Residents who did not agree to install elevators built a group, we did not let us in, the most incomprehensible thing is that the people who agreed to install them did not let us into the house, because they were afraid of offending people." No matter how many grievances there are, Qian Qin still smiles at the door. Gradually, more and more residents took the initiative to find Qian Qin. Meng Xianggan, a resident of the 1st floor of Building 17, said: "The installation of elevators has some impact on the first and second floors, but think about it, if it is not for everyone, why are community cadres angry?" This year, a total of 32 elevators have been installed in the old residential areas of Yancheng, and 11 have been installed in Hexin Garden, accounting for one-third.
Revelation: The difficulty of installing an elevator cannot be experienced unless you experience it. From 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 11, behind it is the original intention of "doing practical things for the masses." Grassroots work requires persistence with feelings and the wisdom to resolve contradictions.
Fit is more desirable
If it is built, it must be managed well. The 8 old residential areas in the winery area were previously independent and "scattered", and how to manage them after the implementation of the transformation has become a new topic.
"The government awards a little, the community gives a little, the department sticks a little, and the masses take a little." The funds for the construction and management of the community are raised through the "four points." 50,000 square meters, about 700 yuan per square meter standard. "This account, Xu Wencai has already calculated.
Breaking through the wall and demolishing illegal construction, freeing up more space. A vacant lot sorted out on the southernmost side of the community has now built a 2,000-square-meter Dongsheng Community Party and Mass Service Center, which not only increases collective assets, but also adds public service places for residents.
"In the past, the 'old reform' did not cure the symptoms, but now it is really reformed. During the remediation process, the underground sewer pipes had to be dug up and treated, and the residents came to help. Resident Wang Tefang said.
The masses participate in the co-construction, the society coordinates management, and the co-construction and co-management make the community glow with a new atmosphere. "Next, we will install all the roofs of the community with photovoltaics, 3500 square meters of investment of 1.6 million yuan, the annual income is expected to be more than 100,000 yuan, this money can be used for community property management, to make up for the lack of funds." At the same time, we will implement the transformation to adapt to aging, and build a meal assistance and day care center for the elderly. Xu Weiguo, secretary of the Panhuang Street Party Working Committee, said.
Nowadays, Panhuang Street has established a community party branch of the winery dormitory, integrated the strength of party members, and explored the "party branch + building chief + volunteer" party building leading governance model, with 18 party members as building directors and 20 volunteers participating in the daily management of the community. The community has also set up a residents' council room to specifically solve the demands of the masses.
"The distillery area is a new achievement of the party history study and education 'I do practical things for the masses', a new practice led by party building, a new model of social governance, and a new model of 'joint creation'." Wang Juan, secretary of the Yandu District Party Committee, said that the transformation of the Panhuang Distillery area has played a pilot demonstration role, driving the transformation of 44 old residential areas of 780,000 square meters in the whole district, and gradually realizing the "joint creation" of the whole region. After the renovation of the winery area, the residents jointly named: Hexin Garden.
Li Dongmei has now become the head of the building, her daughter has met many friends, and the children are in the community all day, chattering like birds.
Community workers sent Dong Xuejun a "party member contact card", doctors from the clinic often came to check on the elderly, and volunteers would come to the door regularly.
Xie Xiaofeng walks around the community every day. The sound of decoration in the community is heard, that is, the residents who have moved away have "returned", and there are more than 10 households that are currently ready to move in again. The neighborhood was rejuvenated, a new life began, and more young people returned.
Enlightenment: The transformation of old residential areas should be led by party building, gather multiple forces, and rely on grass-roots party organizations and the broad masses of party members to promote. The long-term management after the transformation relies on the autonomy of residents, so that residents can become the main body of community management and embark on a road of good governance at the grass-roots level under the guidance of party building.
