Chinanews.com, Shanghai, February 20th (Reporter Chen Jing) "Post-80s" Sheng Hong is the first secretary of the Party branch in Ronghua Residential Area, Hongqiao Street, Changning District, Shanghai and director of Gubei Civic Center.

The Ronghua residential area where she works is the first foreign-related residential area in China. There are 12,000 households and 32,000 Chinese and foreign residents from 58 countries and regions. It is known as the "Little United Nations".

　　As a newly elected representative of the National People's Congress, Sheng Hong has been thinking about how to convert the "voice of the people" heard by a "prime minister in the alley" in the process of serving the people into representative suggestions, and promote the realization of real "people's livelihood".

In the "one-stop service for a better life at the doorstep" - two representatives and one committee member reception activity, Sheng Hong listened carefully to the voices of the resident representatives.

She said that as a deputy to the National People's Congress from the grassroots, she hopes to convey representative public opinion.

　　The cultural structure of the international community is diverse, and the structure of residents' needs is complex. How to integrate Chinese and foreign people into the community and live happily together?

Over the years, Sheng Hong and his colleagues have actively explored new mechanisms and methods to connect and serve Chinese and foreign people.

Sheng Hong said in an interview with reporters that they explored the "integration" of international community work methods: "service first, culture as the medium, and governance as the soul" to promote the integration of Chinese and foreign residents' emotions, cultures and values.

　　The woman who has been working in grassroots communities for many years explained: "We have integrated the major concept of people's democracy throughout the process into every bit of grassroots governance, and relying on the citizen's meeting hall to focus on community governance problems that Chinese and foreign residents care about, such as: raising pets in a civilized manner, Garbage sorting, community parking, etc., carried out democratic consultation, summed up the operating rules of "self-promotion, on-demand discussion, invitation of counselors, democratic evaluation, and follow-up of supervisors", and gradually formed in the community a "need to discuss things, everyone A good atmosphere where things are discussed'."

　　In 2014, the Ronghua Neighborhood Committee built the Gubei Citizens’ Conference Hall.

This is a consultation and discussion platform composed of Chinese and foreign residents.

In this self-governing carrier, neighborhood committees “give way” moderately, relevant stakeholders in the community “make up” their own seats, Chinese and foreign residents can independently discuss matters, and councilors have their own familiar “circles” in the community, which are quite representative of public opinion.

In Sheng Hong's view, although the meeting hall is small, it is precisely because of such an innovative and suitable channel for expressing opinions of the international community that the community self-government system is improved and the enthusiasm of Chinese and foreign residents to build their homes together is stimulated.

　　"To allow more Chinese and foreign families to participate in the construction of the Gubei community." This has been the goal of Sheng Hong and her partners for many years.

In fact, at the beginning, the vast majority of foreign residents knew nothing about the role of neighborhood committees.

Noyan, a Turkish resident, said frankly that after participating in a large number of activities organized by the neighborhood committee, he felt that the work of the neighborhood committee was very meaningful.

So he spared no effort to promote the neighborhood committee and Gubei community to "foreigners".

In an interview with reporters, Sheng Hong also said that under the concept of "Integration", as more and more foreign friends participate in the governance and development of the community, their recognition of the community is also increasing.

　　It is understood that integrating the whole process of people's democracy into community governance practices, promoting the mutual promotion of "hard law" opinion consultation and "soft law" democratic consultation, and exploring participatory and empathetic governance. Today, Hongqiao Street where Shenghong is located has gradually formed “Good governance” model.

Sheng Hong said that a drop of water can refract the sun's rays, and the people's democracy in the whole process is reflected in every detail.

"Whether it is the formulation of a boutique community renovation plan, the resolution of pet nuisance disputes, or the design of corridor handrails, or the location of smart charging piles, we will listen to the opinions of the public."

　　The Chinese and English versions of "Hongqiao Stories - The Practice Record of People's Democracy at the Grassroots Level in the Whole Process" compiled by Hongqiao Street briefly describe the democratic stories of international communities and show the governance of China.

As an honorary citizen of Shanghai, Noyan Rona has a deep understanding in his personal participation: "As a Turk who has lived in China for more than 30 years, seeing the channels for expressing Chinese public opinion become more and more smooth, I sincerely feel China's progress and prosperity. powerful."

　　During the interview, the reporter learned that in recent years, the services of Gubei Civic Center have been continuously upgraded.

Here you can apply for a temporary residence permit, as well as tax services. Foreigners can also directly apply for work permits in China.

The innovative "single window" community of the civic center has been implemented. Foreigners who meet the application requirements for type A work permits can realize the one-window acceptance of "work permit" and "residence permit" applications in the civic center. Improve the convenience of doing things, and truly realize "reduction in running", "time reduction" and "material reduction".

Sheng Hong said: "We are more about letting data run more, rather than letting residents run more errands."

　　In addition, the Gubei Civic Center also pioneered the service model of "government-society linkage", making the integration of Chinese and foreign countries more multi-dimensional.

Under this model, the center joins hands with the Foreigners Center (TEC) to build a "1+1+X" talent fusion service alliance for domestic and overseas talents, and explores the creation of a talent service site that is jointly operated and served by social organizations.
