Sichuan Ying Shan: CPPCC Creates Platform to Address Public Concerns, "Cloud Consultation" Brings Light

Recently, a unique "cloud consultation" activity was carried out simultaneously in Lingjiu Town, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, and the business location of the Sichuan Ying Shan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province, with a lively atmosphere. Relevant staff from the CPPCC of Ying Shan County, some CPPCC members from the Xiaoqiao area, person in charge of the Sichuan Ying Shan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province, village cadres and mass representatives from Daihe Village in Lingjiu Town jointly held a "Matters for Consultation" meeting of the CPPCC member liaison group in the Xiaoqiao area. Leveraging the Tencent Video Conference platform, the meeting was moved to the "cloud", realizing "cloud consultation". Everyone had face - to - face communication around the installation of solar street lights in Groups 6, 7 and 8 of Daihe Village, fully expressed their opinions and widely reached a consensus.

After Gong Yuting, the deputy secretary general of the CPPCC of Ying Shan County, introduced the background of the consultation and the preliminary research situation, Liu Jianyun, a mass representative, took the lead in speaking: "Our village has undergone great changes over the years, but there have been no street lights installed in Groups 6, 7 and 8. It is pitch - dark at night. It is very easy to trip and fall when walking with uneven steps. Young people working outside are most worried about the night - time travel safety of the elderly and children at home. Everyone is eager to have street lights installed as soon as possible."

Tang Xuefeng, the leader of the CPPCC member liaison group in the Xiaoqiao area, put forward pertinent opinions and suggestions from aspects such as public opinion collection before street light installation, coordination and cooperation during the installation process, the distance between street lights, related costs involved, and management and maintenance after installation.

Gong Xiaoquan, the Party branch secretary of Daihe Village, introduced that "Daihe Village has more than 20 kilometers of roads. More than 320 street lights have been installed through donations from successful people and entrepreneurs and fundraising from the masses. The lack of street lights in Groups 6, 7 and 8 has brought a lot of inconvenience to the production and life of the local people. The CPPCC of Ying Shan County got in touch with the Sichuan Ying Shan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province and received strong support."

Ren Zhaoliang, the Party branch secretary of the Sichuan Ying Shan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province, said that it would donate 50 solar street lights for Groups 6, 7 and 8 of Daihe Village to improve the night - time travel conditions of the masses.

Cadres, mass representatives from Lingjiu Town and Daihe Village and the Sichuan Ying Shan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province had in - depth discussions on a series of issues such as installation costs, planning and layout, coordination and guarantee, quality control, and post - installation management and maintenance, and reached a consensus. The Sichuan Ying Shan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province will fund the purchase and installation of solar street lights. The Party committee and government of Lingjiu Town will guide the two committees of Daihe Village to do a good job in coordinating and cooperating with the pre - installation work of street lights and handling related problems. After the installation is completed, the two committees of Daihe Village will be responsible for the later management and maintenance.

Aiming at the pain points and bottlenecks in rural construction and the hot spots and focal points of public concern, using the Tencent Video Conference platform and adopting the synchronous consultation mode of "online + offline" and "inside the town + outside the town", the activity realized that "no small matter concerning people's livelihood is too trivial for consultation even over a long distance". This was the first time in Ying Shan. "This 'Matters for Consultation' meeting fully practiced the democratic practice of the CPPCC of having more consultations when there are matters, encountering problems, or doing things. It also vividly demonstrated the patriotic feelings of entrepreneurs from our hometown who 'never forget their roots when drinking water from the source'," said Yin Chuanping, the Party committee secretary of Lingjiu Town. The street lights will not only illuminate the nights in the countryside but also warm the hearts of the villagers!

"This democratic consultation method is novel, the research is solid, the topic selection is precise, and the coordination is in place. It truly reflects 'small cuts but big livelihoods'," commented Luo Yongqiang, the vice chairman of the CPPCC of Ying Shan County.

In recent years, based on "what the Party and government need, what the masses expect, and what the CPPCC can do", the CPPCC of Ying Shan County has used the power of consultation to promote economic and social development, explored the working mode of "collecting public opinions through heart - to - heart talks with the masses, determining topics through centralized research and judgment, promoting consultations by classification, and achieving results through frontline follow - up". It innovatively coordinated and integrated the "Matters for Consultation" and sectoral activities, promoted their development in a coordinated way, and formed a working pattern of "active relevant sectors, leading liaison committees, main promotion by sectoral CPPCC members, and main grasping by functional departments". It promoted the connection between CPPCC consultations and micro - consultations, closely focused on livelihood issues, coordinated relevant departments to respond to and solve public demands in a timely manner, and improved the satisfaction of the masses. In 2024, it carried out 168 various micro - consultations, put forward 355 suggestions and opinions, and solved 268 specific problems for the masses. (Peng Jie)
