"This is the highest praise given to me by the party and the people, which is both an encouragement and a spur, and it is also a new starting point for me to continue to struggle." Recently, talking about the honor of winning the "National Outstanding Party Worker", Guo Jia, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiuquan Road Street in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, said.

In the past 20 years of working in the street community, Guo Jia has always had the same original intention and undiminished faith, always practiced the solemn commitment of "serving the people wholeheartedly" when joining the party, and dedicated all her youth and enthusiasm to the grass-roots party building work.

Insist on learning to increase skills

In April 2019, Guo Jia was appointed secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiuquan Road Subdistrict.

"This is the trust that the organization has in me, and I must do a solid, fine, and good job in my work, so that the organization can rest assured and the masses can be satisfied." Guo Jia secretly made up her mind. Previously, she had been practicing in various streets and communities in Chengguan District for 14 years.

In 1992, at the age of 20, Guo Jia graduated from school and entered the Chengguan District Sanitation Bureau. As one of the few cadres with a formal diploma in the chengguan sanitation system at that time, she was given priority to be assigned to the organ and engaged in management work.

In the years since, Guo Jia has been eager to go to the grassroots frontline. She felt that only by having zero-distance contact with the masses could we truly understand the needs and needs of the masses and better serve the masses.

In June 2001, when Chengguan District decided to set up a community under the street and called on cadres to go down to the community, Guo Jiayi was the first to apply for the name and went to the West Community of Jingyuan Road Street to serve as the secretary of the party branch.

At that time, the community was a new thing, and there was no precedent for what responsibilities to assume and how to carry out the work. The work is complicated, and Guo Jia can only do it in middle school and learning, and grope step by step.

In order to broaden her horizons and improve the level of community service, Guo Jia will insist on learning every day, and newspapers, television, and books will become her mentors and friends for understanding grassroots governance across the country. Years later, as the secretary of the street party working committee, she still maintains the habit of studying every day.

"Only by learning can we keep up with the times." Guo Jia said: Attaching importance to study and being good at study is the party's fine tradition, and as a communist party member, we must always persist in promoting understanding through study, promoting action with understanding, and promoting with practice.

Open up a new situation in party building

"A thousand threads above, a needle below", people often use this phrase to describe the work of street communities.

Jiuquan Road street covers an area of 0.88 square kilometers, and there are more than 54,000 permanent residents and more than 10,000 floating populations living in the jurisdiction, whether it can wear a good needle and lead a good thread, and give full play to the role of party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members in the jurisdiction, is an important criterion for measuring the work of the street party working committee.

After becoming the secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiuquan Road Subdistrict, Guo Jia took the promotion of the linkage of various units in the jurisdiction and the overall effect of urban grass-roots party building as an important topic to study. She deeply studied the definition and requirements of the central government for urban grassroots party building, visited experts, scholars and media personalities, listened to the suggestions and expectations of the masses on grassroots governance, and finally proposed Lanzhou's first urban grassroots party building brand - "Party Building Rally Number".

The "party building rally number", as the name suggests, is to bring together the units, enterprises, party organizations and party members in the jurisdiction, jointly participate in the grass-roots governance of the city, and realize the co-residence and co-construction. However, achieving this goal will not be easy.

Jiuquan Road street has nearly 100 units such as the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Lanzhou No. 1 Middle School, Experimental Primary School, etc. In order to open up the contact channels, Guo Jia and the party working committee team visited one by one and patiently explained the ideas of party building in the street.

After unremitting efforts, Jiuquan Road Street finally opened the work situation of the street "big work committee" and the community "big party committee", and the circle of friends of the street "party building assembly number" gradually grew from 0 to 92 and then to 124, and the vitality of party building work in the new era was glowing.

Always keep the interests of the masses at heart

In the street community for more than 20 years, Guo Jia understands the diversity and complexity of grassroots work.

"Different groups have different needs, and what the street community has to do is to take into account the needs and expectations of each person as much as possible, and enhance the satisfaction, happiness and security of the masses." She said.

There is a resident of Yangjiayuan Community in Jiuquan Road Street, known as "Old Horse", who loves to raise flowers and plants many flowers in his bungalow with various bottles and cans. Although it adds a little vitality, due to the messy placement, it also affects the overall environment of the family home.

The community workers tried several times to persuade the "old horse" to move the flowers home, but they were afraid of being pushed back by his stubborn temper. After learning of this, Guo Jia suggested that the community members change their thinking.

"The 'old horse' likes to raise flowers, and it will certainly not work for him to move the flowers into the house, so you may wish to help him upgrade and create a 'little garden of old horses'." She said.

With the help of the community, the "Little Garden of the Old Horse" has been unveiled and has become the highlight of the family home. The enthusiasm of the "old horse" to raise flowers is also unprecedented, and he not only keeps the small garden in good order, but also often guides other residents to raise flowers.

Always keeping the interests of the masses in mind and thinking about problems from the standpoint of the masses, there are still many such stories in Guo Jia.

Walking into the streets of Jiuquan Road, people will always give a thumbs up when they mention the secretary of the Party Working Committee who mingles with the masses.
