Co-construction, co-governance and sharing - the value of "joint creation" from the perspective of Macheng

Editor's note

Recently, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out the Pilot Work of Jointly Creating a Beautiful Environment and Happy Life", requiring all departments in the province to do a good job in the pilot demonstration work. This is an important carrier to follow the party's mass line in the new era, enhance the party's political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization, and social appeal, and promote the reform and innovation of the system and mechanism for the modernization of the grassroots governance system and governance capacity. In 2017, with the care and support of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Hong'an and Macheng in our province carried out the pilot work of "Jointly Create a Beautiful Environment and Happy Life in China". In practice, the pilot work has achieved remarkable results, and a number of successful experiences, methods and paths have been explored.

In order to help all departments across the province fully and accurately grasp the essence, concepts and methods of the "joint creation" activity, Hubei Daily dispatched two research teams to go deep into Hong'an and Macheng to carry out detailed and comprehensive on-site research. From the perspective of methodology and methodology, the anatomical summary of the exploration practice in the two places is now published in turn for your reference.

Bricks and tiles show the rural charm, and the town and street have beautiful scenery. At the end of July and the beginning of August, all media reporters from Hubei Daily visited the rural communities in Macheng City, and a new charm of Chu Yun came to us.

In the past, the environment was messy and the planning was out of order; now, the village is clean and beautiful. Behind the change in appearance, there is a quiet upgrade of the concept, method, path and effect of social governance.

Since 2017, Ma City has been guided by party building, with villages and communities as the unit, and the improvement of the living environment as the entry point, has promoted the activity of "joint creation of a beautiful environment and a happy life", and explored "co-conspiracy in decision-making and co-development of co-development" throughout the city. The social governance model of construction, construction co-management, effect co-evaluation, and achievement sharing”. The promotion process of

's "joint creation" activity is a practice process of unswervingly following the party's mass line in the new era, and it is also a process in which the party's "people concept" is continuously rooted and manifested.

Only when we regard the people as the goal and everything is for the people; we regard the people as the main body and everything depends on the people; we regard the people as the yardstick and insist on the supremacy of the people. Only then can we have the source of confidence and the foundation of strength to do all work well, and we can have no problem. Go invincible, suddenly open a new situation.

Decision-making, handing over the "microphone" to the common people There is infinite wisdom among the people. Only by fully respecting the people's right to know and participating, and allowing everyone to participate in decision-making, can the demands of the people be accurately and in place, and the concept of "everything for the people" can be implemented.

Shiqiao Village in midsummer is full of flowers and tidy. At the pavilion in Yanjiahe Town on the village square, there are waves of tourists.

In 2018, Xujia Village in Shiqiaodao Village with weak economy and poor environment was included by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development into Macheng's first "co-created" project - Village Reconstruction.

"Is it necessary to make a big move?" "Is it a formality? In the end, there are 108 villagers in Xujiazhai. At the first group meeting, 80% of the villagers voted against it. Faced with doubts, the village cadres of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the "two committees" of the village went door-to-door to work, repeatedly explaining that "this time we will take our ideas together". However, the villagers watched each other, and no one was willing to take a stand. The "two committees" of

village rented a bus and organized villagers to visit Haotang Village, Xinyang City, Henan Province. After seeing the villagers in Haotang Village spontaneously take action, the forest and fields are intertwined and beautiful, the village is exquisite and tidy, and the villagers are envious. At the group meeting after returning to the village, 80% of the villagers agreed to the reform.

On July 26, a bird's-eye view of Gucheng Village, Yanjiahe Town, Macheng City. (Photo by Hubei Daily All-media reporter Xue Ting, correspondent Wan Yongzhuang and Yan Houneng) How did

change? Unlike before, this time the "microphone" was handed over to the villagers. Regarding the village planning, road direction, and pond landscape, the town and village working group called together the villagers and the designers in Beijing again and again to discuss and conspire together. The design plan of

has been revised many times, and the villagers have no objection in the last group meeting before the start of construction. All villagers demolished their own pig pens, cattle pens and dry toilets free of charge to make way for new roads and ponds. The reconstruction of the village school was successfully implemented. Gucheng Village, which is adjacent to

, also gave the villagers the "voice" of village's remediation of .

The old moat goes around the village, middleThere are two bridges to be built. In the design renderings of the China Construction Group, the high arch bridges contrast with flowing water, village houses and green trees, which is truly "beautiful".

However, the villagers have objections. In the village conference room, under the sweetgum trees, and on the ridges in the fields, the villagers expressed their opinions. The old man Zheng Facheng said that the slope was too steep and it was easy to fall, so the arch bridge lowered the curvature, and the high arch became low arch; the disabled people in the village said that the bricks were too slippery, so the big bricks were replaced with small square anti-skid bricks ; the courier brother Zheng Shengan said, It was inconvenient to go up and down the steps of the bridge, so the bridge deck was changed to a gentle slope, and threaded steel bars were installed to increase the load-bearing capacity, so that tricycles and trolleys could also pass through... According to the wishes of the villagers, the design was changed and modified, and finally a gentle slope and flat bridge was built, which is both beautiful and beautiful. practical.

"There is infinite wisdom in the masses, which must be cherished and utilized." Pan Qi, director of the Organization Department of the Macheng Municipal Committee, said that the most important thing for the masses to participate in decision-making is to respect the people and create a platform for mutual consultation; in the past three years, in addition to the release of " In addition to the city's "Joint Creation" Implementation Plan", Macheng also printed more than 40,000 copies of publicity materials such as "A Letter to the Residents of "Joint Creation" and "People's Wish Cards"; Online and offline discussion platforms such as the parliamentary hall and the alley WeChat group collect 16,000 appeals; the city organizes more than 8,000 "mass meetings" every year.

Build management, mobilize the masses to work together There is a huge power in the people. Everyone is responsible, everyone is responsible, and everyone rolls up their sleeves to work together, in order to work quickly and well, to run smoothly and achieve more with less effort.

Building a beautiful environment and a happy life requires real money, and someone needs to roll up their sleeves and sweat.

where does the money come from? Where do the workers come from?

The suspension bridge ditch in Changlingguan Village, Muzidian Town, has many mountains and beautiful scenery.

In 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, young and young laborers in the village cannot go out to work. "Why don't you come and do something for the village?" A proposal made by the "two committees" of the village at the group meeting was answered by everyone.

"Everyone discussed building a 3.5-kilometer tourist road and a 5-kilometer tourist trail." Xiong Deping, secretary of the village party branch, recalled. The village committee actively sought funds from the superiors. The provincial emergency management department's village work team and the municipal transportation bureau helped to raise funds from various sources. Together with the income of the village collective and farmers' cooperatives, more than 2 million yuan was finally raised. On the day when the mountain was opened, the sound of cannons echoed in the valley, and the villagers were very excited.

"Go! Build the road!" For the next few months, every morning, the young and middle-aged people in the village would go up the mountain together, carrying them on their shoulders, moving stones and building the road. When you are thirsty, you drink the spring water; when you are hungry, you eat instant noodles; when you are tired, you sit on the ground on the side of the mountain. In May of that year, the trail was repaired in advance. Because the villagers volunteered to work and labor, the cost was reduced by nearly a quarter of the normal budget.

develops and builds together the power of the people, and everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high. Macheng City established a four-level linkage mechanism of "county-level deployment, town-level leadership, village-level organization, and mass participation" under the leadership of the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor. The city has established the urban and rural organizational structure of "village party branch + party group of the group + central household of party members" and "street working committee + community party committee + community party branch + building party group + central household of party members", and mobilized party members to "one household and ten unions" . Starting from the small things that the masses can see, know and feel, and take the improvement of the small environment in front of and behind the house as the entry point, the masses have the money to contribute, and they make strong contributions to promote the renovation of public facilities.

In Yantou Village, Huangtugang Town, the people spontaneously demolished more than 700 bullpen and pigpen and wood stacks, and volunteered more than 10,000 workers. Residents of Chaoshengmen Community in Gulou Street donated 380,000 yuan to harden the branches and alleys, accounting for 1/4 of the total investment of the project. According to the calculation of Xu Linggong, the first secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in Gucheng Village, through "joint creation", it is possible to spend a small amount of money to do big things, such as roads, drying yards and other low-tech projects with a large workload. adult labor costs. The completion of the

project is just the beginning, and it can be long-term and long-lasting if it is well managed.

Macheng has set up a "building chief system" and "lane chief system" in urban communities; in rural areas, it has guided the establishment of the Five Elders Association, the Security Joint Defense Team, the Red and White Council, and other non-governmental organizations. The management and maintenance of public cultural and sports facilities, cultural squares, green belts, etc. are handed over to the masses by means of “love points” and “micro-filial piety supermarkets” in the form of special management of posts, supervision and management of autonomous organizations, and promote co-management and co-governance.

There are three deserted sandy river ponds in Gucheng Village, overgrown with weeds. The village committee organized the villagers to pull weeds, spread film, and pour 80 cm deep yellow mud.The Jushui River has been diverting water for two consecutive weeks, only to see clear pond water. "It's not easy, we must take good care of it!" Huang Youhua, a village cleaner, inspects the ponds and salvages floating objects every day. On both sides of the river and pond, the villagers agreed to "three guarantees" in front of the door, and not to discharge sewage into the river and pond to ensure the cleanliness of the village.

"Co-governance and co-management must adhere to both 'shaping' and 'casting the soul'." Luo Jun, head of the Propaganda Department of the Macheng Municipal Party Committee, said that for this reason, the city on the one hand manages the "ten chaos" and "ten bad habits", and on the other hand selects "Top Ten Village Regulations and Civil Agreement", "Top Ten Good Citizens", "Ten Star Civilized Households" and " Integrity Star " have effectively promoted the development of public spirit. Over the past few years, the city has established 61 civilized villages and towns above the prefecture level, and selected 34,000 "ten-star civilized households", successfully ranking among the provincial civilized cities and becoming the hometown of Chinese filial piety culture.

commented that what the masses say is really good The people are satisfied or not, happy or not, agree or not agree, it is the "gold standard" for measuring work performance. Only when the people participate in the evaluation can the results be the most real, effective, and useful, and sustainable development can be achieved through continuous positive incentives.

From July 15th to 16th, Macheng City carried out a half-year training and inspection of key projects, and each street and township showed a bright spot PK. Huangtugang Town "Baichuan Academy" project won the championship.

Baichuan Academy is located in Yujia'ao Village. Behind the clear pond, three dougong-structured houses are hidden among green hills and green trees. Walking into the courtyard, there are many Confucian classics such as "Three people must have my teacher", "The one who has the Tao will help more, the one who has lost the Tao will have little help".

A few years ago, the village invited Xiangxian to return to their hometown to promote "joint creation". Li Hai'e, a professor at South-Central University for Nationalities, saw a private school in the Qing Dynasty that was idle, so he took this as the center and successively circulated more than 2,000 acres of abandoned land, planting wetland pine, camellia oleifera, honeysuckle and qiai, etc. Build a complex integrating cultural experience, modern agriculture, leisure and wellness. The village party secretary Huang Jili said that the academy has invested 20 million yuan and handed over 500,000 yuan to the village collective each year, which has driven more than 200 villagers to work at their doorsteps, of which more than 80 households have been lifted out of poverty.

's idle private school once again exudes a strong scholarly fragrance; the environment has become more beautiful, and jobs can be found at the doorstep of home. The villagers gave thumbs up when evaluating the effect of the project, and they also took the initiative to invest in the construction of the Tongshan Highway. The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee took advantage of the situation to build a youth research and study base in Baichuan Academy, grafted farmhouse bookstores and civilized practice centers into the planning and construction of the academy, and integrated excellent traditional Confucian culture such as "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust" into socialism such as civilization, harmony, integrity, and friendliness. in core values.

"The gold cup and the silver cup are not as good as the word of mouth of the people." Li Xiaoxiong, secretary of the town party committee, said that according to the principle of "whoever the project serves, who will evaluate the project", the local people will evaluate and give feedback on the "jointly created" project, and the common people's score accounts for a large proportion proportion.

In order to promote the use of the co-evaluation results and form a positive closed loop of incentives, Macheng focuses on establishing a mechanism of "replacing compensation with rewards", and rewards those projects with wide participation and good effects from the masses. The good ones are much better. This year, 31.5 million yuan of incentive funds have been arranged.

In Jinjiabian Village, the first village of Fubaiju, Futianhe Town, the town changed the top-down evaluation rules, and the villagers evaluated chrysanthemum masters in the fields and issued agricultural rewards. The big planters Xia Yuwen and Xia Xianchao were both elected as experts in the competition last month, and the town awarded pesticides and fertilizers on the spot. Yang Xingjiang, secretary of the village party, said with a smile that winning the award means responsibility. The experts have to train other villagers for free. If they don't teach well, they will fall down next time.

Inclusive, let the people share the fruits of development The fruits of development can be shared by the broadest masses of the people, and constantly satisfy the people's yearning for a better life, in order to reflect the fundamental purpose of the party, is the fundamental starting point and ultimate goal of "joint creation" .

At the beginning of this year, there was a two-and-a-half-acre vacant land in the Guanxiang Community Supply and Marketing Residential Community. Some real estate owners found community officials and expressed their willingness to pay a high price to build a building.

But after the community cadres and the people discussed together, they decided to build a "resident's home", which integrates express delivery, leisure sports, a civilized practice center, a residents' bookstore, and a "four-thirty school", and everyone benefits.

allows the broadest masses of the people to share the fruits of development, which is the original intention of Macheng to promote "joint creation". The city pushes hard on parking lots, pocket parks, , publicConstruction of public facilities such as toilets and mass cultural activity centers. The renovation of 36 old communities in 8 communities in the city has brought more than 3,700 residents a full sense of happiness and gain. In order to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation,

has established a mechanism of joint agriculture and leading agriculture around the city's key agricultural industrial chain. In 2021, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in the city will increase by 14%, which is 3.6 percentage points higher than that of urban residents. In Yantou Village, Huangtugang Town, the five characteristic industries of thousands of acres of chestnut, Fubai chrysanthemum, camellia, pear orchard and 6MW photovoltaic poverty alleviation base have embedded a large number of villagers into the agricultural industry chain.

In order to help left-behind women find better jobs, in October 2020, the masses actively raised more than 600,000 yuan, and the government invested more than 3 million yuan to renovate old houses in the village to build the city's first "Internet celebrity home" with interior Internet celebrity training center, public welfare live broadcast room, landmark excellent product exhibition hall, logistics service company, more than 30 "rural Internet celebrities" live broadcast on Douyin, , Jingdong, , Taobao and other platforms, driving more than 100 left-behind women to engage in products processing. Yantou Village has also become a well-known Internet celebrity village, with sales of 18 million yuan last year.

Li Zhao Village, Songbu Town, covers an area of ​​40 acres of solar greenhouse vegetable greenhouse. It adopts the "five-unit-divided" cooperation model in which construction, agricultural materials, seedlings, technology, and sales are unified, and profits are shared. Vegetables are exported to the Greater Bay Area. , the annual output value exceeds 1 million yuan, which directly increases the villagers' income by hundreds of thousands of yuan and contributes more than 300,000 yuan to the village collective economy. "The greenhouse is right in front of the house, so the vegetables don't have to worry about selling." The villager Xiong Jiahe was originally a mason. Last year, he transferred his land and contracted a vegetable greenhouse, and no longer went out to work.

Guqiao Village used to be "dirty and messy", and it was difficult for older young people to find objects. Since the promotion of "joint creation", the main roads at the village level have been upgraded, the whole village has been connected to running water, every family has carried out the " toilet revolution ", the "face value" of the village has soared, rural tourism has flourished, and the neighborhood has been harmonious and friendly. Everyone in the villages who are livable and suitable for work yearn for, and 52 older young people successfully "off the list".

Revelation: Everything is for the people,

everything depends on the people

There is no foundation that is more solid than rooting in the people; there is no power that is stronger than coming from the people. The practice of "joint creation" in Macheng City reflects the inherent value pursuit of the ruling party for the people and for the people, and it is the value we should uphold when doing all our work.

Macheng, a red city. As the birthplace of the Jute Uprising,

once walked out of the Red Fourth Front Army , the Red 25th Army and the Red 28th Army . Hundreds of thousands of people gave their precious lives for the revolution. Since the launch of the

"Joint Creation" activity, a consensus has gradually formed among millions of cadres: the people are the country, and the country is the people; the revolutionary era requires the people to conquer the country, and the new era requires the people to build the country together.

At present, the process of urbanization is accelerating, the hollowing out of the countryside, the lagging of urban management and other problems are prominent, and the complexity and difficulty of social governance are increasing day by day. Under the traditional one-dimensional, management-controlled, and government-led governance model, government actions are often out of sync with the needs of the masses, which also leads to increased management costs. To solve this problem, we must return to our original aspiration, keep the people’s background, stand firm on the people’s stand, guide multiple subjects to participate in social governance, make everyone accountable and fulfill their responsibilities, and ultimately achieve everyone’s enjoyment.

In October 2021, Macheng City held the ninth party congress, and wrote "joint creation" into the report of the party congress, emphasizing that in the next five years, it is necessary to strengthen the leadership of party building, take the masses as the main body, deepen and expand "joint creation", and promote leapfrog development.

Chengmagang is the first general township of in China, and there are 26 generals including Wang Shusheng and Xu Haidong. Today, inheriting the red gene, the village villages are all over the place, "Be a party member, follow me!".

walked into the streets and alleys of Chengmagang, and the sign of the Communist Party member household was particularly eye-catching. On the red house sign, there are the names and photos of party members, as well as a list of ten people who are associated with the household. Last year, Magang Township was selected as the red beautiful village construction project of the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Finance. The descendants of the revolution and party members took the lead in demolishing hundreds of chicken coops, cattle pens, pigsties, and firewood stacks for free, and took the lead in joining the voluntary construction army.

Party members set an example, and the masses followed closely! Feng Li, the mayor of the town, recalled that within 100 days, a red church was built in the town.Squares and blocks with functions of education and economic development. In grassroots governance, how to follow the party's mass line in the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "It is necessary to improve the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing, realize the benign interaction between government governance and social adjustment, and residents' self-governance. A community of social governance that is responsible, everyone is responsible, and everyone enjoys."

Macheng thoroughly implemented the spirit of the general secretary's instructions. The "Implementation Opinions on Deepening and Expanding the Joint Creation of a Beautiful Macheng" was issued to transform the party's political advantages, organizational advantages, and mass work advantages into grassroots governance advantages.

Municipal Party Secretary Wang Guobing said that Macheng will adhere to the "people's concept" of the Communist Party of China, adhere to the supremacy of the people, rely on the people for everything, give full play to the dominant position of the people, and transfer the concept of the "five Communists" from urban and rural dwellings. In the field of environmental remediation, it has continuously expanded to the fields of industrial development, rural revitalization, grassroots governance, and new urbanization.
