Guarding against the wind witnesses the warmth, protection, and responsibility of the city
2025-04-14
From "waiting for the wind to come" to "fighting against the wind", we see that all levels, departments, and units adhere to the principle of putting people and lives first, always tighten the string of safety, raise vigilance, and have a sense of responsibility to respond scientifically. We see a city's tremendous efforts to drive good governance in the face of extreme weather with public demands. Infuse the concept of fine governance into every wrinkle of the city, embody embroidery skills in every detail, and blend the warmth of Beijing in the fierce winds. Beijing is a city with empathy. In order to protect this city amidst strong winds, many people have joined hands and gathered strength to resist the strong winds, spreading the warmth of mutual assistance in the wind. Orderly opening up commercial districts, industrial parks, commercial buildings, government agencies and other parking spaces to provide temporary emergency parking services for surrounding residents; Open 17 temporary rest areas for sheltered passengers under the "Seven Stations and Two Stations" policy; Beijing North Railway Station made an exception by opening the east gate, and 11 buses drove into the station square, allowing nearly 300 children who had returned from studying to board and go home as quickly as possible; Measures such as exempting food delivery platforms from liability for exceeding the time limit have been launched one after another... The recent strong wind has once again made us feel the strong warmth of the city of Beijing. From April 11th to 13th, under the influence of strong cold air, there were rare sustained strong winds in North China during the same period in history. At 10:30 am on April 10th, Beijing issued an orange warning for strong winds in advance. This is the first time in nearly a decade that Beijing has issued a strong wind warning at this level. The strong wind is affecting this city. When this sudden gust of wind shattered the original tranquility of the city, more than 4300 emergency repair personnel from Beijing Electric Power were on standby; 2674 outdoor special equipment units have been shut down in Beijing; Several Beijing municipal parks have announced their closure, and places such as the Palace Museum and the China Science and Technology Museum have also announced their closure; More than 40000 forest rangers are all on duty; Strengthening and pruning over 4800 high-risk trees to minimize the harm caused by the strong winds to production and daily life, and making every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the smooth operation of the city, has become an unquestionable choice for this city. From "waiting for the wind to come" to "fighting against the wind", we see that all levels, departments, and units adhere to the principle of putting people and lives first, always tighten the string of safety, raise vigilance, and have a sense of responsibility to respond scientifically. We see a city's tremendous efforts to drive good governance in the face of extreme weather with public demands. Infuse the concept of fine governance into every wrinkle of the city, embody embroidery skills in every detail, and blend the warmth of Beijing in the fierce winds. So we see that when motor vehicle owners are worried about the risks of outdoor parking, the free parking lights that light up in the underground parking lots of shopping malls illuminate the warm scenery of the people of Beijing helping each other; While the discussion on whether to order takeout in windy weather is still ongoing, the platform has activated a rider safety protection mechanism for special weather conditions. "Riders who have provided delivery services to citizens in recent days do not have to worry about exceeding the time limit," providing a "reassurance pill" for ensuring order delivery under safety conditions; When the leading teacher on the G2544 high-speed train was still worried with parents about whether the 296 students who had ended their study tour could safely return home before the strong wind, the Beijing North Station Regional Management Office had already provided a solution by opening the normally closed east gate and allowing buses to enter the station in batches to pick up the children. Renowned futurist Jeremy Rifkin once said, "Empathy is a means of constructing social life and advancing civilization." In a sense, empathy is one of the best expressions of urban temperature on a humane scale. Through cognitive empathy, people can understand others' situations, through emotional empathy, we can feel others' emotions, and empathetic care allows us to understand others' needs. People with empathy often have strong empathy, are able to empathize with others, and are willing to think and feel from their perspective. Cities with empathy are often able to keenly perceive the demands of their citizens and mobilize various forces to respond to such expectations in a timely manner from the perspective of their most concerned, anticipated, and urgent needs. Beijing is such a city with empathy. In order to protect this city in the strong wind, how many people have joined hands and gathered strength to resist the strong wind, spreading the warmth of mutual assistance in the wind. From community workers reminding you not to go out today, just wait for us to collect your lunch boxes tomorrow, to signs that say "no matter how strong the wind is, the door is open for you," to warning labels that say "the car owner can fold it down to prevent the wind from blowing, no need to lift it up, thank you," all reflect the empathy of Beijing and its people who cannot be moved by strong winds. This kind of empathy is a business card of this city, a warmth of this city, it brings new vitality to this ancient city of Beijing, attracting more and more people to come here and fall in love with it. These warm scenes do not only occur during extreme weather conditions. When "handling complaints as soon as they are received and handling them before they are filed" becomes a vivid practice of Beijing's mega city governance driven by citizens' demands, promoting grassroots governance reform around ensuring and improving people's livelihoods, and when mutual assistance and promoting morality and goodness become the spiritual strength for Beijing people to move forward bravely, good governance in the big city becomes a tangible reality in daily life.
