From Confucius' Confucian thought of "Harmony is the most precious" and "Benevolent people love others" to the ideal of "Great Harmony in the World" and the goal of "Harmonious Socialist Society", our Chinese nation has never stopped pursuing harmony.
Political environment of democracy and unity, fair and just social environment, policy environment of benefiting the people and the people, harmonious and stable legal environment and beautiful ecological environment. According to the general requirements of building a harmonious socialist society, the beautiful picture described by Comrade Zhang Chunxian in the report of the ninth Party Congress in Hunan Province points out the direction for us to build a harmonious Hunan.
Over the past few days, around the grand proposition of building a harmonious Hunan, the delegates attending the provincial party congress have a strong sense of responsibility and expressed their opinions freely.
Democracy and Unity: the Future of Harmonious Hunan
In recent years, Maoqiao Village, Lingguan Town, Qidong County has raised 1 more than ten thousand yuan, which has solved a series of problems such as drinking water, irrigation, transportation and communication in the village, facilitated the masses and promoted the economic development in the village. "Promoting democracy at the grass-roots level, making village affairs public and gaining the understanding and support of the villagers are the guarantee for the success of the cause." The words of representative Cheng, secretary of the village party branch, are full of pride.
Delegates generally believe that the broad masses of the people directly or indirectly participate in political life and social management, enjoy the right to know about major issues, and fully express and communicate major decisions and legislative proposals, which can better reflect the fundamental interests and common wishes of most people, help mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, turn negative factors into positive factors, unite all forces that can be United, provide extensive support for building a harmonious Hunan, and make our cause full of vitality and vitality.
The key to creating a political environment of democracy and unity lies in the Party. From August to June this year, 5438+00, the activity of "Welcome the Party Congress and Seek New Development" carried out by the provincial party committee in the whole province attracted wide attention from all walks of life, with the active participation of party member, cadres and the masses. In just three months, I received more than 1. 1 000 letters of advice, covering economic, political, cultural, social, party building and other fields, which concentrated on expressing my common desire for better and faster economic and social development in Hunan.
Representatives such as Liao Chuxiong, vice president of the Party School of Loudi Municipal Committee, and Mr. Li, secretary of the county party committee of Tongdao Dong Autonomous County, believe that adhering to the mass line is an important magic weapon for the party's cause to remain invincible. To build a political environment of democracy and unity, we should focus on two aspects: one is to expand inner-party democracy, the other is to effectively improve the level of social management and strive to maintain a stable and harmonious social situation.
"Comrade Zhang Chunxian put forward in the work report of the provincial party congress that building a harmonious Hunan requires giving full play to the role of democratic parties and federations of industry and commerce, earnestly doing a good job in the United front work of people from all walks of life, and consolidating and developing the United front in the new century and new stage. We United front workers should work hard for this. " Deputy Wang, member of the Standing Committee of Shaoyang Municipal Committee and director of the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Committee, believes that political consultation should be effectively incorporated into the decision-making and implementation and deployment process of party committees and governments at all levels, and the channels for political consultation and participation in state affairs in the United front should be continuously broadened, and the contents and forms of democratic participation should be enriched.
To create a political environment of democracy and unity, workers' meetings, the Communist Youth League, women's federations and other people's organizations cannot play the role of a bridge and link between the party and the government and the masses. Representatives such as Li Guiying, vice chairman of Hengyang Federation of Trade Unions, and Zhao Zhenying, chairman of Xiangtan Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. believe that a harmonious society is one in which people enjoy extensive democracy. At present, some achievements have been made in grassroots democracy construction, but there are also some problems. In many grass-roots units, workers' democratic rights have not actually been implemented. Due to the lack of democracy and poor channels of democracy, there have been problems such as enterprise decision-making mistakes, employees' interests damaged, labor relations tense, contradictions and conflicts constantly, frequent petitions and complaints, etc., which have become a cancer affecting social harmony. Trade unions are important undertakers of grassroots democratic construction. In participating in the construction of a harmonious society, we should fully perform our functions, dredge grassroots democratic channels, safeguard workers' democratic rights, and promote the improvement of democratic participation mechanism.
Huimin Anmin: the Foothold of Harmonious Hunan
To build a harmonious Hunan, we must start with safeguarding people's livelihood, seriously solve problems involving people's vital interests and fundamental interests, and take the benefit of the people as the starting point and the end result. This is the consensus formed by the delegates in the discussion.
"Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood. Grasping employment means grasping development, increasing income and stability. Employment and re-employment should be regarded as the most concerned, direct and realistic interests of the masses. " Deputy Zhao Xiangping, director of the Provincial Department of Labor and Social Security, told reporters that since 2004, the provincial party committee and the provincial government have insisted on doing "eight practical things" for private enterprises every year, and implementing a positive employment policy to expand employment and re-employment is one of them. 1 By September this year, there were 5.48110,000 new urban jobs in the province, and 302,200 laid-off and unemployed people were re-employed. Zhao Xiangping believes that the contradiction of oversupply of labor in our province will still exist for a long time due to many factors. We should continue to implement a proactive employment policy and expand urban and rural employment in accordance with the requirements of the provincial party committee and government.
Going hand in hand with employment is the construction of social security system. "Social assistance is an important part of the social security system and is closely related to the actual interests of the broad masses, especially those in need." Deputy Chen, director of Chenzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, said that at present, vulnerable groups still account for a considerable proportion. It is necessary to increase assistance to vulnerable groups, establish a new social assistance system based on the minimum living security system, supplemented by special assistance such as employment assistance, medical assistance, education aid and housing assistance, supplemented by natural disaster emergency assistance, rural "five guarantees" and urban "three noes" centralized support, and regularly carry out social donations and social assistance. We will effectively ensure that people with difficulties in urban and rural areas will scientifically and reasonably determine the contents and objects of assistance in response to new situations and new problems in social development, and implement basic living assistance, special assistance or temporary assistance for different families with difficulties.
"It is difficult to go to school, but expensive to go to school" has also become a prominent problem that the masses have strongly reflected. Deputy Wang Zhiming, director of Yueyang Education Bureau, believes that "difficulty in going to school" actually involves the equalization of public services. The best public policy should be to provide the best public services for the most vulnerable groups, which is also the basic requirement of a harmonious society. Wang Zhiming told reporters that in order to solve the problem of "difficulty in going to school", Yueyang City will take a multi-pronged approach: promoting the balanced development of compulsory education and putting the development of rural compulsory education in a prominent position; Strengthen the transformation of weak rural schools in compulsory education stage, and actively carry out the activities of urban schools to support weak rural schools; Promote the rural education management mode of "film-linked schools", improve the implementation of the enrollment method for migrant children, and further improve the enrollment work for migrant children; Conscientiously implement the policy of "two exemptions and one subsidy" for poor students in rural primary and secondary schools, raise funds from various sources, increase poverty alleviation efforts, establish a long-term working mechanism for poverty alleviation, and ensure that children from poor families can successfully complete their studies.
Fairness and Justice: Safety Valve of Harmonious Hunan
"I am just a street sweeper, but the party and the government have given me a lot of honors, and my efforts have also been recognized by the masses, which makes me feel that my sweat has not been in vain, and what I have done is quite valuable. This is a kind of fairness. " Deng Yalan, the monitor of the cleaning class of Changde Environmental Sanitation Department, who won the honors of national advanced individual in city appearance and sanitation and model worker of the Ministry of Construction, explained his understanding of "fairness" in simple language.
"Fairness and justice are the value orientation of the development and progress of human society, the basic criterion for coordinating the relations between all social strata, and an important source of social cohesion, centripetal force and appeal." Delegates believe that in the process of regulating various interest relations, only by following the principle of fairness and justice and benefiting the vast majority of social members can we gain wide support and recognition from different interest groups in society, effectively integrate various social resources and forces, and realize the unity and cooperation of the whole society.
Deputy Yan, Mayor of Zhuzhou City, pointed out that the core of a harmonious society is the harmony of interpersonal relationships. Of course, a person cares about how much he gets after working, but he cares more about the income in a comparative sense, that is, whether he is treated fairly or not. If the result of comparison is that you are in a lower position, you will feel excluded and deprived, resulting in psychological imbalance. Once this imbalance exceeds a certain limit, social contradictions will intensify. Therefore, fairness and justice are the "safety valves" of a harmonious society. Only a fair society can be stable and achieve long-term stability.
"Starting this year, the state will raise the threshold for personal income tax. After one year, I will pay less personal income tax in 200 yuan every year. Although the number is not very large, it is already very good for our ordinary cadres, especially from the determination of the central government to adjust the imbalance of personal distribution income. " Deputy Zhu Guangbo of Lianyuan Agriculture Bureau said with deep feelings that the system is the fundamental guarantee of social fairness and justice. Only by stepping up the construction of a system that plays an important role in safeguarding social fairness and justice and safeguarding people's political, economic, cultural and social rights and interests can social fairness and justice be truly realized.
To build a harmonious socialist society, we must start with narrowing the income gap and improving the distribution system. Representative Du Yaling, secretary of Wulingyuan District Committee of Zhangjiajie City, believes that only by improving the income distribution system, establishing a sound interest coordination mechanism, making efforts to improve the income level of low-income people, gradually expanding the proportion of middle-income people, effectively regulating excessive income, and resolutely banning illegal income, can the income distribution be fairer and the common prosperity of society be effectively promoted.
Strengthening the construction of the legal system and realizing the justice of law enforcement is an important guarantee for social fairness and justice. Representatives such as Tan Jingchun, President of Zhuzhou Intermediate People's Court, and Zhu Guoxiang, Procurator-General of Yiyang Procuratorate believe that law enforcement and judicial justice are important aspects of maintaining social fairness and justice. It is necessary to comprehensively promote administration according to law, strengthen supervision over administrative organs and judicial organs, strengthen the construction of judicial democracy, strengthen judicial protection of human rights, improve the implementation mechanism, and promote law enforcement and judicial justice.
Stability and Order: A Barometer of Harmonious Hunan
"Stability and order are the barometer of social harmony". A turbulent, chaotic and contradictory society is definitely not a harmonious society. Only in a stable and orderly environment can people live and work in peace and contentment and form a harmonious and compatible situation. To achieve social stability and order, we must implement the rule of law. This is a common view expressed by many delegates.
Deputy Zhou Dunkou, director of the Provincial Department of Justice, believes that administering the country according to law is the fundamental policy to ensure social harmony and stability. We must strengthen the construction of the legal system, adhere to strict laws, put the solution of social contradictions and conflicts into the legal track, perform duties and exercise power in strict accordance with legal authority, institutionalize and legalize people's democratic rights, express interests through legal procedures, safeguard legitimate rights and interests through legal means, and maintain a good social order.
"To achieve social stability and order, we should focus on prevention, actively mediate social contradictions and disputes, and prevent conflicts from intensifying." Deputy Jiang Shansheng, member of the Standing Committee of Yongzhou Municipal Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Municipal Committee, told reporters that in recent years, Yongzhou City has given full play to the preventive function of people's mediation, seriously investigated contradictions and disputes, actively expanded the field of mediation, actively intervened in traditional civil disputes such as marriage and family, forest rights, and actively intervened in social difficulties and hot issues, and made efforts to solve various major group disputes that occurred in deepening reform and accelerating development. Basically, "small things don't go out of the village group, big things don't go out of the towns."
"To achieve social stability and order, we must improve the social security prevention and control system, severely crack down on serious criminal crimes according to law, and protect people's lives and property." Deputy Chen, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and political commissar of Changsha detachment of Hunan Armed Police Corps, said that efforts should be made on public security issues related to people's vital interests and social impact, to improve the ability to tackle difficult cases such as serious violent crimes, to severely crack down on frequent and financial-infringing hot crimes, and to enhance the ability of public security management and control. At the same time, we will continue to develop and improve the strength of mass prevention and treatment, mobilize the broad masses of the people to actively participate in their own safety precautions, and effectively detect, prevent and reduce crimes.
Family is the cell of society, and family stability is the foundation of social stability. Gong Meiai, chairman of Changde Women's Federation, and Yang Yufang, chairman of Zhuzhou Women's Federation, pointed out that with the development and diversification of society, people's family concepts and marriage concepts have changed, and some families have experienced problems such as distorted values, declining marriage stability and increasing domestic violence, which have brought hidden dangers to social stability. Therefore, ensuring family harmony and stability is very important for creating a stable and orderly social environment.
Beautiful scenery: the "oxygen bar" of harmonious Hunan
When discussing the report of the provincial party congress, many delegates pointed out that we must adhere to Scientific Outlook on Development, attach great importance to the harmonious development between man and nature, vigorously implement the strategy of sustainable development, establish a virtuous circle ecosystem, a production system with low resource consumption and an economic operation system with sustained growth, and promote the harmonious development between economy and environment, and between man and nature.
Deputy Wang Kemin, director of the Provincial Science and Technology Department, said that with the acceleration of the process of "three modernizations" in our province, the constraints on resources and environment will be further aggravated. On the whole, our province has a low level of per capita resources, imperfect ecological functions and great pressure to protect the environment. In order to create a civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology, and realize the goal of a well-off society at a higher level, we must vigorously develop circular economy, build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, make efficient use of resources, ease the contradiction of resource constraints, improve the ecological environment, and improve the resource and environment protection ability of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
"Tourism and the environment are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Hunan is a big tourist province. Strengthening environmental protection and ecological construction can effectively protect tourism resources and promote the development of tourism. " Representatives from Zhangjiajie, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Huaihua, Yueyang and Hengyang are very concerned about ecological environment protection.
Zhang Muyao, secretary of the Working Committee of Yueyang Nanhu Scenic Area, Yu Huaimin, member of the Standing Committee of Zhangjiajie Municipal Committee and secretary of Yongding County Party Committee, and Lu Anxin, cadre of Malonglin Management Station of Tongdao Dong Autonomous County Forestry Bureau, pointed out that the ecological environment is the most valuable tourism resource. It is necessary to strengthen the planning of tourism ecological environment protection, strengthen the ecological environment monitoring and supervision of tourist areas and tourism projects, and prohibit the construction of industrial facilities that pollute the environment and projects that are harmful to the environment in and around tourist areas. Tourist areas and tourist projects should be developed, constructed and managed in strict accordance with the needs of ecological protection, and it is forbidden to destroy forests and grow grass, dig wild plants indiscriminately, take rocks from mountains, dig sand, reclaim land from lakes and change natural water systems.
The important means to protect resources and ecological environment is "saving". Deputy Tan Zhongchi, Mayor of Changsha City, said that Changsha is a city with superior natural endowment and energy shortage, and seasonal energy supply shortage occurs from time to time. Therefore, while vigorously promoting the development model of circular economy, Changsha will persist in advocating the concept of conservation and building a conservation-oriented city.
Building a harmonious socialist society is a new great long March. In accordance with the general requirements of democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature, and in line with the people's aspirations for prosperity, justice and stability, we will effectively coordinate and improve various social relations and form a good situation in which all people can live in harmony as much as possible.
