On November 15th, a short video introduction released by the WeChat video account "Zhangshang Lu'an" made the government compound of Shucheng County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province "popular" online. Netizens affectionately referred to it as a government compound that is easier to enter and exit than their own community. According to the video introduction, there is no gate card for entering and exiting the Shucheng County Government compound, and free parking is not charged. After the video was released, many netizens liked it. At the same time, some netizens expressed that "this is someone else's government compound", "it's a pity that we don't allow entry here", "many places are difficult to enter, let alone free entry and exit", and "can it be promoted nationwide". The term 'big courtyard' has a long historical origin in China. In the past, whether it was an official 'big courtyard' or a government office, or a private mansion, it was often guarded, mysterious and majestic, with high gates and thick walls separating the inside and outside. Nowadays, the nature of government buildings has undergone a transformation. "Buildings" are not only office areas for government agencies, but also important places for communication between the government and the public. In this situation, it is clearly inappropriate for the government compound to remain closed to the public with strict access control measures. Entering the government compound casually weakens the sense of distance between the government and the public. From implementing the "Government Open Day" event to welcoming guests to the government compound, it is a gradual physical elimination of barriers between government agencies and the public. Coincidentally, the government compound of Shitai County, Anhui Province has been built for over 60 years without any walls, access control, or door cards. It is very convenient for ordinary people to enter directly and find people to handle affairs. The heart is open, the door is bright and bright, and the government courtyard opens its doors "freely" to the masses, which facilitates the supervision of the government by the masses and allows government officials to have more contact and interaction with the masses in their work, increasing communication and interaction between officials and the masses, thereby reducing the psychological barriers between the two and strengthening the "sense of closeness". Entering the government compound at will can strengthen the government's sense of service. The government compound is a part of public facilities, and in the process of building a service-oriented government, it is necessary to consider how public facilities can provide services to the public. As early as August this year, a man in Yingkou, Liaoning had an argument with a security guard at the entrance of the town government. The reason was that the man was in a hurry to urinate and wanted to use the restroom for "convenience". The security guard refused to allow him to enter or exit casually and firmly stated that "we will not serve you". One cannot help but wonder, is it "convenient" for the public to solve difficult problems when even borrowing toilets is "inconvenient"? On the other hand, during the autumn harvest season, government and police station courtyards in Henan, Chongqing, and other places are open to the public for drying food, providing meals and resting places. For many years, during important holidays, Shucheng County has opened some parking lots of government agencies, institutions, and social organizations in the urban area to the public free of charge, and bathrooms are also open to the public. Whether government services are done well or not, the people know best in their hearts. Although things are small, they are all what the people truly need. The "casual entry" into government courtyards has sparked a heated discussion across the internet. On the one hand, it reflects the local government's actions that have been well received by the people, and on the other hand, it reflects the people's eager expectation for more government courtyards to open their doors and provide good services. Whether this "rare thing" can become a "normal thing" depends on how local governments respond to the needs of the people. (New Society)
