Oriental Fortune.com | Hedong: "Red Engine" Promotes the Construction of the International Eco-City

　　“Excellent product!”“The design is so creative!” After visiting the Linyi Hardware City located in Yujiuqu, Jiqu Street, Hedong District, Stefan Lintner, Deputy Director of the Bavarian State Construction Management Bureau in Germany, who came to inspect for the first time, praised the hardware products in the market repeatedly after visiting shops such as Shazi Cutlery and Hongyang Hardware Tools. According to the introduction, the proportion of high-end products in this market is over 80%, with many industry-leading products emerging, such as Shazi Cutlery, Jinzui Wire Cutters, Qiyang Jacks, and Lizhang Garden Tools. Most of these are local enterprises grown in Hedong, and 95% of them have their own intellectual property rights and numerous patented products, with products selling well both domestically and internationally. The bosses of Shazi Cutlery and Hongyang Hardware Tools, praised by Stefan Lintner, are both model role models among the party member business owners in this market.

　　“Focusing on party building around the economy, and promoting development through good party building. In recent years, Yujiuqu has taken the promotion of the ‘Three Business Party Building’ work of shopping malls, business districts, and chambers of commerce as an opportunity, and aimed at building a service-oriented party organization. It has incorporated the hardware city, steel material logistics city, comprehensive wholesale market, freight dispatch information market, and home appliance market into the management of the market party branch. Through activities such as the ‘Four Leading’ roles of party members and the evaluation of ‘Star Party Member Business Owners’, it has given full play to the role of the market party organization as a fighting fortress and the exemplary role of party members, creating the brand of ‘Wonderful Market, Outstanding Party Building’. It has effectively transformed the vitality of party building into productivity that promotes high-quality development, achieving mutual promotion between party building work and market development.” Wang Yingjuan, Party Secretary of Yujiuqu Community and General Manager of Wanbao Enterprise General Corporation, said in an interview with reporters.

　　On December 31, 2019, the Huaye Building, a high-end commercial office building located on Beijing East Road in Hedong District, was topped out. This is a key construction project in the East City New District, built by Huaye Group. Mengjiayu Bu Community in Jiqu Street, as the first community in Hedong District to implement collective ownership system reform, has achieved a historic breakthrough in the collective economic strength of the community due to the rapid development of Huaye Group, whose business involves multiple fields such as real estate, environmental protection, agriculture, and finance. “Urban grassroots party organizations are the foundation of all the work and combat effectiveness of the Party in the city, and the development and growth of the community cannot be separated from the leadership of the grassroots party organization.” Meng Linggui, Party Secretary of Mengjiayu Bu Community and Chairman and President of Huaye Group, said, “We have started from several aspects: political leadership, development driving force, people’s livelihood service capacity, self-innovation capacity, and social cohesion, to build the grassroots party organization into a strong fighting fortress, focusing our efforts on development, fulfilling the development dream of Mengjiayu Bu, and taking the community residents’ yearning for a better life as our goal. In 2018, the community’s per capita dividend reached more than 5,000 yuan.”}, {

　　The practices of these two communities in Jiqu Street in leading development through grassroots party building are universal and representative in Hedong District. Hedong District has taken party building as the leader to solidly promote the implementation of the “1358” work measures, earnestly implemented the responsibility of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, promoted high-quality development with high-quality party building, and used the “red engine” to help the construction of the international ecological city. Significant achievements have been made in various aspects of Party building work, and in particular, the ability and level of urban grassroots party organizations in serving reform, development, people’s livelihood, the masses, and Party members have been further improved.

　　Since last year, the district has taken “strengthening weaknesses and making up for shortcomings” as its goal, integrated resources and strength, and accelerated breakthroughs in party building in emerging fields. It has taken the lead in establishing a new urban community work promotion team composed of responsible comrades from departments such as organization, civil affairs, and housing and urban-rural development. Ten new urban communities have been built, and the establishment of a “four-in-one” work mechanism of the residents’ committee, the owners’ committee, and the property service enterprise under the leadership of the community party organization has been fully promoted; the “dual reporting” work has been earnestly improved and implemented, with units conducting 286 themed Party day learning activities in communities, giving 98 thematic Party lectures, determining and publicizing 161 co-construction and co-governance projects, building 13 new community cultural and sports squares, building 18 functional rooms such as libraries and reading rooms, helping communities solve 417 problems, providing legal advice and regular physical examinations for more than 1,600 people, and visiting and comforting more than 260 people including laid-off and unemployed personnel, poor students, and disabled people; promoting the district’s direct organs’ “1+7” assistance action with party building as the leader, taking the solution of seven difficulties—approval difficulties, entrepreneurial difficulties, improvement difficulties, financing difficulties, employment difficulties, policy implementation difficulties, and difficulties in increasing income in weak villages and communities—as the focus. The various assistance units of the district’s direct organs have solved a total of 143 practical problems for enterprises and villages and communities, using the hard work index of Party members and cadres to exchange for the happiness index of the masses and the development index of enterprises and villages and communities; leading park development with party building, innovating the “five-link” park party building model of organizational linkage, venue sharing, activity linkage, backbone cultivation, and development promotion, building a high-standard park party and mass service “sub-center” in the Zhongke (Linyi) Innovation Park, and comprehensively improving the park’s party building level.

　　“2020 is the final year for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and for the 13th Five-Year Plan. Faced with the major opportunity of building the Linyi International Ecological City, Hedong District will adhere to party building as the leader, strengthen its responsibilities, and earnestly implement its work, striving to make new achievements and create a new situation in the construction of the Linyi International Ecological City.” Cheng Gang, member of the Standing Committee of the Hedong District Committee and head of the Organization Department, said.
