  Two spicy duck heads, one braised chicken claw and braised duck wings-On the way home from work on May 28, Chengdu citizens Zhong Yang and Chen Xi easily settled the dinner for only 27 yuan.

  This shopping experience is really convenient. Zhong Yang stopped the car to the side of the road, without even extinguishing the fire, and came to Feng Jiali's braised vegetable stall in a few steps. After buying the car, but 5 minutes.

  When the transaction was completed, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Premier Li Keqiang had just talked about things related to them. Responding to reporters 'questions about employment, Li Keqiang said that there is a city in the west of China that has set up 36,000 mobile vendors' stalls in accordance with local regulations. As a result, 100,000 people were employed overnight.

  The western city mentioned by the Prime Minister is Chengdu. During the two sessions, the practice of Chengdu to relax the temporary occupation of roads has aroused heated discussion among representatives and members. Some people praised the measures taken by Chengdu to care for the disadvantaged groups, while others felt that this gave the city a “fire and smoke”. Others said that under the pressure of employment, Chengdu ’s approach is worth promoting.

  Even though he rarely has time to look at his mobile phone, the stewed vegetable stall owner Feng Jiali often hears diners frequently mentioning these discussions from the two conference venues when cutting braised beef slices, which makes him feel that he has "not One is fighting. "

  The topics when discussing the people's livelihood issues in the distant two conferences are particularly specific and clear to the 51-year-old businessman.

  At the beginning of March this year, when the new pneumonia epidemic raged, Feng Jiali decided to return to his old business and turn his 30-year braised vegetable technology into a means of earning a living. Many years ago, he had a fixed storefront. Later, he felt that the rent was too high to earn any money, so he stopped working and went home to make money by doing odd jobs.

  He spent 1,000 yuan to buy a second-hand stainless steel mobile stall from other people's hands, and even reluctant to spend money to re-dress up. Now the stall is still stuck with the signboard of the former stall owner. Of course, he is also ready to "guerrilla" with the city management.

  After some time, he found that the urban management did not persuade him to go. He began to "think that the urban management let me go". After reading the news, he learned that Chengdu had a policy to allow temporary booths in certain areas.

  Just outside the crossroads where he lives, there is a road-sharing area. "There is a" base. "Feng Jiali described his current situation.

  Luo Qiang, NPC deputy and mayor of Chengdu, responded to the original intention of Chengdu to relax its occupation policy in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily. He said that based on the preliminary research, Chengdu's leaders believed that from the perspective of resuming production, reassuring employment, and facilitating the masses, it is worthwhile to allow the occupation of roads.

  On the morning of May 22, when Premier Li Keqiang mentioned the employment priority policy in the government work report, he emphasized that all regions should clear up and remove unreasonable restrictions on employment, promote employment measures, and make full use of job expansion measures.

  Luo Qiang also said that allowing temporary occupation of roads does increase the difficulty of urban management to a certain extent, but these problems can be remedied by more government work.

  After being reported by this newspaper, Luo Qiang's voice resonated at the two sessions of the country. Bai Yansong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that Chengdu's approach is commendable. This has caused trouble for the local government and market managers, but it has facilitated others.

  The voice of Beijing ’s political affairs was a concrete echo of the people ’s livelihood when it fell on this small street market at the intersection of Xinle Middle Street and Xinle North Lane in the Chengdu High-tech Zone. Next to Feng Jiali's stall, Gou Wanpeng and his wife Lai Xiuying run a vegetable stall. "More than 50 years old, without a skill, selling vegetables is our means of making a living." Gou Wanpeng said.

  In the eyes of citizen Xie Xiaochun, this small market on the roadside is close to 4 communities, which greatly facilitates residents. She said that sometimes the dishes at home can be bought downstairs without having to go to a vegetable market one mile away.

  "Chengdu has done this in front of the whole country, to praise the government." Chen Tianming, a citizen who chose dishes at a vegetable stall, put down a handful of green peppers he just picked up and gave a thumbs up. He instead reminded the stall owner Gou Wanpeng that you have to clean up the sanitation here and clean up the garbage. "Otherwise you will waste this good policy."

  Hao Jin, deputy squadron leader of the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Squadron, Xiaojiahe Street, Chengdu High-tech Zone, said that during peak hours, this street market can accommodate about 30 stalls, which is indeed convenient for the people nearby. As a law enforcement officer with 10 years of urban management law enforcement experience, he really feels that the vendors are cooperating with their law enforcement work and consciously maintaining the urban order.

  But he also emphasized that from the perspective of city management, there are still many issues that need to be resolved by relevant departments, such as traffic safety, food safety, market order and other issues. He said that in the future they will also cooperate closely with the community and market supervision departments to maintain the market and social order and ensure that the livelihood attributes of this policy remain unchanged.

  At the same time, the parties concerned gave a positive response. The person in charge of the Central Civilization Office said that under the normalized epidemic prevention and control situation, in this year's national civilized city evaluation indicators, it has been clearly required not to include road occupation, road markets, and mobile vendors as the content of civilized city evaluation.

  Luo Qiang also said that from the perspective of the government, as long as it is beneficial to employment and convenient to the masses, the practice of relaxing occupations should be maintained.
