A grassroots sample of Guangdong's pilot work to promote the modernization of municipal social governance nationwide By the grotto River, the water surface is like a ribbon, and the mountain shape is like a lying cow. Luling village, Bingcun Town, Meixian District, Meizhou city is located here. In the village, parks, greenways, home stays and other facilities are available, making it a good place for tourists to "punch in" for sightseeing. According to Ye Jilian, Secretary of Luling village Party branch, Luling village has developed from a weak and lax "backward village" in the past to a beautiful village with prosperous industries, and the villagers' Council has played an important role. "The villagers' Council is indispensable for everything from giving advice and raising funds for public welfare undertakings in the village to dealing with neighborhood disputes and family matters!" (a corner of Hounan village, Baihou Town, Dapu County, provincial democratic and legal Village) The countryside is the basic unit of social governance and the basic part of the social governance system. In recent years, Meizhou has carried out rural governance with the villagers' Council movement as the core, adhered to the guidance of Party building, and characterized by red culture and excellent Hakka culture, gave full play to the main role of the masses, guided the masses to participate in deliberation, mediation, construction and governance, and activated the "spring water" of good governance in villages and villages. Party building guidance: 10216 villagers' Councils were established "In the past, the relationship between cadres and the masses in the village was tense, and the grass-roots party organization was weak and lax, resulting in the situation that no one could manage the affairs in the village." Ye Jilian recalled that under this background, the construction of the village once stagnated, and the appearance of the village became worse and worse. In 2018, the village Party branch was identified as a weak and lax village Party organization by the Meizhou municipal Party committee. The train runs fast, all by the locomotive. Luling village has greatly improved the cohesion of the village Party branch through the election of the first secretary and the addition of members of the party organization, thereby promoting the construction of the villagers' Council under the leadership of the village Party organization. A number of "old and difficult" problems have been successfully solved with the promotion of the villagers' Council. For example, the villagers' Council of Luling village mobilized the villagers to donate money to build a waste treatment station, equipped with cleaners and trucks. Driven by the demonstration of the villagers' Council, the villagers took the initiative to demolish and clean up, and promoted the construction of "beautiful courtyard" in full swing. Today, Luling village has won the second batch of national rural governance demonstration villages, Guangdong Province "advanced grassroots party organization" and other honors. (Changtian town carries out the training on the working method of "one belt, one law and four participation" of the villagers' Council) In order to further standardize the construction of the villagers' Council, Meizhou issued the opinions on cultivating and developing the villagers' Council to promote the construction of the villagers' Council under the leadership of the village Party organization at the city level, improve the site setting, organizational structure, work regulations and system construction, and promote the villagers' Council to independently form rules of procedure. All grassroots party organizations lead the masses to participate in social governance, include the allocation of Party members, social services, and people's satisfaction of the villagers' Council in the work of Party building, and conduct assessment, evaluation and excellence, and guide the standardized and normalized operation of the villagers' Council. "We also actively build a learning and exchange platform and carry out relevant knowledge training to let the people master the content, forms, processes and rules of participating in social governance." The relevant person in charge of the political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Meizhou municipal Party committee said that the city also requires each villagers' Council to be equipped with more than one party member, actively promote the joint household, listing, commitment and fulfillment of Party members and villagers' Council members, and give full play to the exemplary and leading role of Party members in rural governance. Up to now, Meizhou has established 10216 villagers' Councils and formulated village rules and regulations, with a coverage rate of 100%. With the active drive of the villagers' Council, Meizhou has a stronger rural feeling and a more civilized village style. Concept integration: integrate red gene and Hakka culture into governance Culture casts the soul and gathers strength, while spirit moistens the heart and inspires fighting spirit. Meizhou integrates red culture and excellent Hakka culture in the process of cultivating villagers' Councils, and creates a municipal social governance model with local characteristics. Meizhou is the only prefecture level city in Guangdong that belongs to the former Central Soviet area. According to the relevant person in charge of the political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Meizhou municipal Party committee, Meizhou has actively explored the mechanism of "red gene + social governance" in recent years, making "red" the bottom color of social governance in Meizhou. The villagers' Council has played a key role in exploring the mechanism of "red gene + social governance". For example, Meizhou takes the construction of villagers' Councils in red villages such as matu village, Longgang Town, fenglang Town, dapujiao village, Huidong village, Sanhe Town, and Taining village, chayang Town, Fengshun County, as a starting point to build a "model village" for party spirit and history education, a "leading village" for grass-roots governance and rural civilization, and gives full play to the demonstration and driving role of red villages in Rural Revitalization and social governance. (carry out the publicity campaign of "I add luster to the revitalization of my hometown" and publicize the knowledge of eliminating underworld and evil to the masses) Good governance brings a new atmosphere to the countryside. For example, with the participation and drive of the villagers' Council, Huangsha village, Pingyuan County, relies on the red resources and agricultural resources in the village to vigorously develop e-commerce and tourism. At the same time, it drives farmers to develop vegetable and fruit planting, so that more than 50 people can obtain employment at home, with a per capita monthly income of more than 2000 yuan, and helps the village's collective economy increase its annual income by 40000 yuan. At the same time, Meizhou will also combine the elements of Hakka history, cultural folklore, family style and family motto, which highlight the essence of Hakka culture, with the construction of the villagers' Council, so as to achieve moral education and culture. For example, Pingyuan County activated the concept of "Dehua people by virtue", the first of the Hakka cultural ancestors and the "ancient eight sages" in Guangdong, and deeply integrated with the original villagers' Council to refine the "Dehua manual practice" of rural social governance. The whole county of Tai Po has built 32 beautiful cultural landmarks such as village history halls, family style and family training halls, creating a strong atmosphere of advocating virtue and goodness. For example, in the settlement of the dispute over the ancestral graves of Qiu Huang in Changtan town of Jiaoling and Changtian village of Pingyuan County, the villagers' Council of Changtian village led the work of persuasion and resolution door by door, guided the villagers to think about transposition, reached a consensus to solve the problem within the framework of emotion, reason and law, and avoided the group event of clan conflict between Qiu Huang and the two surnames. Cohesion: introduce the strength of villagers to participate in governance "Gathering sand into a tower, warm feelings, green mountains and green waters, and gathering armpits into fur for the benefit of future generations." In jucun village, huliao Town, Dapu County, a building corridor called "Changshou Gongde bank" has sprung up. In order to encourage villagers and villagers to contribute to the new rural construction, in 2019, the Ju village villagers' Council raised funds to establish a "merit bank" system. Chen Zengjin, Secretary of the jucun village Party branch, said that those who donated more than 10000 yuan in a single donation could leave their names on the carved corridor and inscribe steles. All donors were recorded in the merit book. The donated funds are used for village construction, poverty alleviation and poverty relief. Up to now, the "Gongde bank" has raised a total of 4.7 million yuan. People gather firewood and the flame is high. Meizhou aims to promote social governance and service focus to the grass-roots level, sink more resources to the grass-roots level, and further expand the breadth and depth of mass participation. (villagers put their family customs and family instructions on the door for supervision) Among them, in combination with the reality of many outgoing villagers, Meizhou has implemented projects such as "villagers +" to establish a normalized villagers' contact mechanism, and guide elite celebrities with moral reputation who have made good achievements in economy, humanities, society, science and technology to return home to participate in social governance, forming a pattern of resource sharing and collaborative governance. For example, the towns (villages) in Dapu County give full play to the superposition effect of the models of "party groups + villagers' autonomous organizations", "village committees + Township counsellors", "social workers + volunteers" and "township leaders + law popularization", and bring the majority of township leaders into the grass-roots mediation force. All grass-roots party organizations actively promote the "uncles" with high prestige, strong ability and fair dealing in the village to join the party, encourage them to join the villagers' Council, and play an important role in the discussion, mediation, construction, governance and other aspects of the village.
