Articles and fragments about hard struggle

Camphor trees are swaying in the wind.

-Feel Changsha

Liu Qian

In Changsha, the deepest and most imposing green is given by camphor trees: they are not afraid of insects, refuse barren land, grow happily and tenaciously, and the streets are full of alleys, swaying in the wind and rain, and drifting with faint fragrance. ...

Changsha people who love Chili peppers will always tell you proudly: "Our city tree in Changsha is camphor tree!" "

City tree. This is the noblest title given to Cinnamomum camphora by Changsha people, and it was solemnly written into the resolution of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress in 1985. At the same time, it is written into the resolution with the promise of urban civilization.

Accompanied by the fragrance of camphor trees, Changsha people came all the way.

Power flows from the bottom of my heart.

I'm watching Changsha Civilization Creation Series, which records the creation of a civilized city in Changsha. Every page is written with general plans, action guidelines and experience classics. Speaking of his city, Changsha people are proud of it. As the first batch of historical and cultural cities announced by the state, Changsha deserves it. However, Changsha people are not satisfied with the brand of a famous historical and cultural city. They said, "That is the legacy and glory left by our ancestors. Changsha should face the future, keep pace with the times, carry forward historical and cultural traditions, and develop and upgrade the new Changsha. "

Creating a national civilized city is a project that can promote the overall development of the city. It is based on this rational thinking that the party and government leaders in Changsha timely put the goal of creating a civilized city in front of the people of the city. 65438-0996, with the theme of "I am from Changsha", a big discussion on "Changsha Spirit" was held in the whole city. Urban and rural people actively participated, and scholars and experts published articles and held discussions to explain the spiritual connotation of Changsha, which was shaped by Huxiang culture and integrated with the spirit of the times. Finally,/kloc-0.0 million citizens and provincial and municipal leaders voted to confirm that "worrying about the world first" is a classic expression of Changsha spirit. The Ninth Party Congress of Changsha held that year also included it in the report of the Congress. This statement fully shows the lofty spirit contained in Changsha people's bones-awareness of hardship, openness, development and innovation, and has become a beautiful declaration and sincere commitment of Changsha people's self-confidence and self-improvement. Almost every year, there are similar mass discussions and general election comments, and columns are set up in the media to guide public opinion. For example, the scene of "Lei Feng" chosen by 100,000 citizens caused by the best collective and best individual activities of learning Lei Feng every year is to impress "I am from Lei Feng's hometown" in people's hearts and enhance people's honor and dignity. One day in June, 200 1,1,two things happened at the same time, which once again put this kind of honor and dignity torture in front of Changsha people: one was that the T 1/2 train from Changsha to Beijing actively tried to stop to rescue patients; One is that the motorcycle ran away after hitting someone. The municipal party committee and municipal government immediately seized this typical example and launched a big discussion on how to be a civilized Changsha person with the participation of millions of citizens throughout the city. The secretary and mayor take the lead in writing and reasoning; People all express the aspiration of "civilized Changsha people, start with me". Then strike while the iron is hot, and deepen the selection of activities such as "Ten uncivilized behaviors of Changsha citizens" and "One hundred civilized citizens as pacesetters". As soon as the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was over, the discussion on "What do I do for a well-off society" was launched in the whole city. All these activities revolve around the topic of civilization, which inspires people to think about themselves: while people have survival and wealth, they should also have the precious spirit that people should have-conscience, sincerity, fraternity and creating a better life!

In 2002, Changsha was awarded the honorary title of "National Civilized City and Advanced City" by the Central Civilization Committee. This is the declaration that Changsha people answered themselves with actions. Two years have passed. Changsha people continue to prove the city declaration of "worrying about the world and being the first in the world" with actions. ...

Waterfront: Poetic Dwelling

Xiangjiang River runs around the clock, providing Changsha people who live by the water with the best natural environment for building a garden-style city, which can be compared with the Seine River in Paris, the Hudson River in new york and the Tiber River in Rome! However, for many years, Changsha, an ancient city on the banks of Xiangjiang River, was like a person who was overwhelmed by the burden of life, with weak waist and disheveled clothes. He is full of desire, but he has no power to completely change his embarrassing image. Only when the giant hand of "development" touches the hardened land, the spring is bright, the spring breeze blows, the wealth flows, and the beautiful vision of the future is conveyed to the hearts of Changsha people. The ancient city of Changsha, a Xiangjiang native who has lived by water for thousands of years, has the opportunity to let go of his hands and feet and make great achievements.

Changsha people define their urban construction in this way:

Modern regional central city.

Entrepreneurs create a beautiful paradise for life.

A happy home where residents enjoy life.

Castle peak, clear water, green trees and fragrant grass make the city healthy. ...

This has opened the curtain of Changsha's unprecedented construction in history.

"Renovation", "Preservation of the past" and "Expansion" are the three ways for Changsha people to repair their cities.

The "transformation" and "expansion" of Wuyi Road have won. Wuyi Road, known as the "No.1 Road in Sanxiang", had only four lanes until the 1990s. Street scenes are messy, and traffic is often blocked by competition for space. After half a year's reconstruction and expansion, today's Wuyi Road, a street more than ten miles long, is connected with tree-lined, flower trees, street green space, garden square, newly-built or rebuilt high-end commercial buildings and shops with compartments, and is full of people passing by with Mercedes-Benz traffic. In the past, footbridges were all changed into underground passages, followed by new handwriting, and hibiscus was the finishing touch.

The Xiangjiang River scenic belt is the most ecological charm, humanistic care and symbolic significance of the city. This is a scenic and cultural corridor built along the coast by water, stretching for more than ten kilometers, integrating flood control, tourism and leisure. High winds drive clouds, and flowing water is natural. Nature has opened her arms. Totem pillars, Yin Zhangshi, Gaodengtai, Shibei Pavilion, open-air stage and performance hall, which are saturated with the civilization and blood of the ancient city, are one after another with different steps. Here, in the dreamlike green of camphor trees, Changsha people can look far and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature, and it is also a leisure square for Changsha people. However, who would have thought that a few years ago, it was only a flood control levee. Except for a few outdated villas, mud shacks, low-rise shops and abandoned open spaces were scattered everywhere.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, colorful pavilions, old wells of clubs that have lost their luster, and even Mashi Old Street, which has been blackened and shiny by generations of life, are all treasures of Changsha people! "Renovation" does not forget "preservation of antiquity". "Keep the context of history!" Not long ago, the Protection Plan of Historic Cities in Changsha specified in detail the scope and methods of historical relics protection, and made great efforts to excavate, develop and restore a number of historical and cultural relics such as Zhuzhangdu, Dufu Pavilion and Chengnan Guild Hall, and put the protection of historical and cultural blocks such as Taiping Street, Chaozong Street and Hualong Pool in a prominent position. With the legal security barrier, these old streets and houses that have survived frequent wars and vicissitudes will be fortunate to form a brilliant constellation with Yuelu Academy, Baisha Ancient Well, Mawangdui Western Han Tomb and other places of interest, and stay in every corner of the ancient city. This is the spirit of the city.

People pursue a happy and healthy life, which is human happiness. The so-called "people live poetically". After years of careful management and construction, Changsha, a city with mountains and waters, has been able to provide a happy and healthy environment for more and more people, especially ordinary people, and people have experienced the poetry of life more and more deeply. Whenever night falls, Changsha is bound to have an ocean of joy. People enjoy the leisure and pleasure of city life in the light cage at night, dancing in discos, singing in karaoke bars, walking or dancing in the open square, drinking tea in the teahouse and, of course, going to the theatre. "In Changsha, the theater is never at leisure, and it is a favorite place for young people. The attendance rate of the most upscale Tianhan Grand Theatre is also the highest, and there has never been a strange thing that the theater is deserted in other cities. " A friend in Changsha said, "There is also a strange thing in Changsha. At eleven o'clock every night, the streets that are not congested during the day are suddenly blocked. That's when people come out of the theater or drive or go home by car! " In Changsha, the annual "Changsha Spring", "Changsha Summer", "Changsha Autumn" and "Lantern Festival" are attended by hundreds of thousands of people from street to district to city, and they are even more cultural carnivals. This kind of mass entertainment, which stops at the square streets, is the emotional expression of a city's cultural soul. From the rough, unrestrained and enthusiastic entertainment culture style of Changsha people, we feel the vigorous vitality and the desire for a better life rhythm-the poetic publicity that the real life far from food and clothing can give!

Make love and honesty ally with the city

Love and honesty are the most precious among people's ideological values. Who can imagine what it would be like for a city where love and honesty have fallen out of favor? More than a hundred years ago, Engels described the common problems of modern urbanites as follows: "It seems that they have nothing to do with each other, but they have established a tacit understanding, that is, pedestrians must walk on the right side of the sidewalk so as not to hinder the people coming in front; Who didn't look at who ... "

Terrible urban epidemic! Terrible cold cement and beautiful hard steel piles!

But Changsha people refuse this pale beauty! They strive to create "Changsha of love and sincerity", so that the wind of love and sincerity can cross the barrier of steel and cement and reach people's hearts directly. The "Zero Distance Community" built in Furong District of Tianxin District takes community education as the starting point and builds a "Lianxin Bridge" among citizens. Kaifu District advocates the street style of "meeting civilization and meeting honesty" among neighbors. The "Moral Bank" founded by Wangyuehu Community in Yuelu District has attracted the attention of the media and the world, advocating "pay more, not take more, pay less and pay more". The Yuhua District Volunteer Club, established last year, is another way to convey love. Build a communication platform for those who volunteer and those who need others to provide volunteer services, and carry out volunteer services to meet the different needs of all residents in the community. Advocate "dedication to others, self-improvement". What volunteers pay is their own labor, and what they return is spiritual pleasure. People must love and be loved. This is people's world. With interactive love, this kind of love will have realistic character and lasting charm, and will be full of vitality.

This is the "mini" supermarket in Guangsha Xincun Community, Jinpenling Street, Tianxin District. It opened in July last year, 18. The space of 60 square meters is full of shelves, and the shelves are full of necessities such as rice, noodles, oil, clothes and medicine. But unlike other supermarkets, nothing is sold here. "Customers" are all people-poor low-income households with "donation cards" issued by street communities. This is also the first free poverty alleviation "supermarket" funded by the community in the city and even the whole province. Over the past year, more than 1300 clothes, 240 bottles of cooking oil, 3 16 bags of rice and other daily necessities have been distributed to poor street residents, and more than 600 people have been rescued. The response of the people in the jurisdiction, the support of the unit and the care of the society have made this love station "resources" sufficient, and love has flooded in. As of March this year, the value of donations reached more than 30,000 yuan. Fuan Renewable Resources Company, the Second Branch of the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau and other units not only made generous donations, but also used them as long-term help points to offer their love. Many teenagers also participate in donations. On the opening day last year, the first-grade students of Yangtianhu Primary School bought two barrels of "Jinlong Fish Oil" with pocket money and took them to the supermarket as a gift to open the door. ...

Love, in this way, quietly walked into the homes of ordinary people in Changsha with its own gifts. There are many such supermarkets in Changsha now. But love doesn't stop there. She also came to the sickly empty-nest elderly bed, so she had the "love doorbell" set up by Xiangchun Road community to facilitate the elderly to shop and seek medical treatment. She stared at many poor shacks in front of her, so she had the human care of the organizers of shack demolition in the south section of Xiangjiang Avenue and pulled out a love story. She is concerned about the survival of migrant workers, and Lianhuachi community insists on signing a "good faith alliance" with community employers to ensure that migrant workers' wages are "zero arrears"; Jinxia Road Street invested 400,000 yuan to build a "hometown pavilion", which gave foreign builders a place to enjoy culture and entertainment and found the feeling of being in their hometown. She also won the honorary title of "the first fully employed community in Hunan Province" for Bajiaoting community, because 98% of the laid-off and unemployed people here have achieved re-employment. She even pays special attention to those who fall into the abyss of drug abuse and are released from prison and released from reeducation through labor. With more than ten years of confidence, love, cruelty and perseverance, Zhang Guoqing, director of Tian Jian Community Neighborhood Committee and national model worker, has successfully helped and educated dozens of "hermits" and managed the "chaotic nests" in the community. The story was quoted as a beautiful talk in Changsha, and the experience was introduced at the meeting held by the relevant state departments. Her experience is that love can grind a pestle into a needle. Meng, a volunteer of Yuhua District Volunteer Club, takes "participation, mutual assistance, dedication and progress" as the motto, and has been helping others for many years with selfless dedication. She said: "I volunteer to enrich my life;" I'm happy to help others ... "

In Changsha, love is so ordinary, but Li Zhuo is not.

Advocating honesty is the most colorful variation of love in Changsha Symphony. At the same time, business integrity and government integrity are the two strongest voices in this variation. Dong Tang Square, the first honest business circle in Hunan Province, is composed of the government and 3,000 merchants around Union Square, and publicly promises to operate in good faith. "Honesty is better than all intelligence, which is the basic condition of intelligence." The philosopher Kant's words were publicized in the window of Dongtang Square and became the same idea of Dongtang people. There is also an "electronic display screen of integrity information" erected on the street, which regularly publishes the information of dishonest commodity merchants. Any commodity businessman who breaks his promise will be severely dealt with. If the consumer complains for more than five times or is punished by the administrative department for violating the law, he shall be disqualified from creating an honest business, ordered to make rectification, and issued a consumer warning to the society. If the circumstances are serious, they will be expelled from Dong Tang Square by the industrial and commercial department. Nowadays, honesty is the most gratifying and attractive scenery in Dong Tang. Dongtang made a good start for honest business, and its influence has gone far beyond business. "Business integrity can be seen, which is convenient for ordinary people to shop." This is the most intuitive evaluation of business integrity. From the display screen of Dong Tang Square, people see the footsteps of honesty in Changsha.

Sunshine, jumping on the unfurled flag. This is the image of an idea given to me by government integrity. In Changsha, the beating sunshine first seems to begin with the emergence of citizen schools all over the city. 1996, Tianxin Park established the first citizen school. Subsequently, all communities in the city took effect, and the general school of citizen school with the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor as consultants was established. The emergence of civic schools with the goal of "lifelong education and progress for all" not only provides an overall framework for Changsha to build a "learning city", but also expands the communication channels between the government and the citizens because civic schools invite officials to give lectures from time to time. Last year, the public forum with the theme of "Be a good host and run the city games well" was held in the Mars community in Furong District for the first time. Officials and people speak freely face to face, which has achieved good results. As a result, the citizen forum, a vivid form of discussing affairs and politics, quickly spread in various communities in the city. The channels of communication between the government and the people have been further broadened. Residents attending the forum often crowded the scene. The theme of the forum is close to the public and reality, such as community building, social morality and current central work. Citizens are free to express their opinions and make suggestions, and government officials should make detailed records. What can be solved on the spot should be solved on the spot, and what cannot be solved should be explained clearly or put on record. Every time citizens open an altar to discuss politics, the main leaders of the city and district and relevant functional departments should send people to participate. Responsible comrades, including the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Mei Kebao and Mayor Tan Zhongchi, all participated in the discussion of the citizens' forum as ordinary citizens. Some decisions in the city, such as speeding up the transformation of shanty towns and back streets and alleys, have also strengthened the decision-making power of citizens' voices at the citizens' forum. In Changsha, the government office has changed the situation of "the door is difficult to enter, the face is ugly, things are difficult to handle, and the official seal is not working well", and all of them have implemented "sunshine operation" to simplify the examination and approval process. The staff of all departments and offices are concentrated in one hall, with one-stop service, one-stop service, deadline for handling, dereliction of duty and accountability, which greatly facilitates the masses and improves the efficiency of government affairs. The image of "yamen" in the past is the "window" for spreading civilization today. I saw an inscription in the office of the secretary of Yuhua District Party Committee: "Live tirelessly and do it faithfully". I believe that this should also be the realm pursued by Changsha people, and it is their self-encouragement and self-encouragement!
