When the Spring Equinox arrived on March 20, a morning of vibrant activity unfolded. The Party Branch of the Yangpu Bureau of Greening and Urban Appearance Management joined hands with the Party Branch of the Yangpu Greening Administration Affairs Center, the General Party Branch of Shanghai Yangpu Landscaping Construction & Maintenance Co., Ltd., the General Party Branch of Siping Residential Area in Wujiaochang Sub-district, and the Party Branch of Shanghai Yueyi Network Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Aihuishou). Together, they initiated the "Green Commitment: Yangpu's Party-Community Campaign Plants Roots for a Shared Dream".

Party-Community Campaign

On this vibrant morning, Party member volunteers gathered at the community that houses the dream courtyard of the "Flower-Planting Grandpa". In the company of "Flower-Planting Grandpa" and community representatives, they immersed themselves in the heartwarming tale of this beloved figure and explored the community's journey in nurturing flowers and enhancing the environment.

The Party Branch of the Yangpu Bureau of Greening and Urban Appearance Management presented the community of the "Flower-Planting Grandpa" with flowers and green plants. Meanwhile, the Party Branch of Aihuishou, a key recycling service provider in Yangpu, gifted recycled flower pots to the community.

The event then sprang into action as Party member volunteers split into five groups. The "Green Cycle, Rewards for Recycling" initiative championed waste sorting and reduction, gifting residents with eco-friendly recycled products.

The "Blooming Art of Green, Fragrance from Fingertips" initiative invited professional florists to guide community residents in crafting exquisite floral arrangements, fostering a love for greenery.

The "Green Wisdom Quiz, Spring in Bloom" initiative engaged residents in lively interactions on greening knowledge.

The "Green Garden Lecture, Nurturing with Care" initiative offered valuable insights into family gardening

The "Green Unity, Shared Vision" initiative brought together community Party members and volunteers, including "Flower-Planting Grandpa", to plant flowers and greenery in the dream courtyard.

"Green Safety, Courtyard Care"

On the afternoon of March 18, the Party Branch of the Yangpu Bureau of Greening and Urban Appearance Management and the General Party Branch of Shanghai Yangpu Landscaping Construction & Maintenance Co., Ltd. headed to the "Dream Courtyard". There, they launched the "Green Safety, Courtyard Care" initiative, where they meticulously pruned two towering trees in the community, eliminating potential safety hazards in time.

This initiative was a testament to the power of Party leadership, community engagement, and collaborative governance. By leveraging the "Party-Community Campaign", it brought green services directly to the community, addressing the practical needs of its people. The story of the "Flower-Planting Grandpa" inspired both Party members and residents to actively participate in community micro-renewal. Together, they worked towards transforming the "Dream Courtyard" into a model of grassroots governance.

In 2025, the Party Branch of the Yangpu Bureau of Greening and Urban Appearance Management is spearheading the "Green Rhythm, Warm Yangpu" brand. Rooted in the people's city concept, it focuses on two core themes: "Green Rhythm" (symbolizing ecological vitality) and "Warm Yangpu" (embodying the warmth of community life). By integrating Party building with public services, it is turning the Party's political and organizational strengths into tangible improvements in grassroots governance. The ultimate goal is to enhance the sense of fulfillment and happiness among the residents.
