This year marks the 5th anniversary of the concept of people's city. As the place where it was first proposed, Yangpu is thriving with a flourishing digital economy and a dynamic, youthful spirit. Let's immerse ourselves in this city that is becoming increasingly "YOUNG" for the people...

The heat of August in Shanghai is as fierce as a blazing fire in August, yet outdoor workers continue to endure the heat, working hard and sweating to keep the city running smoothly.

Recently, the Tongji Rim Party and Mass Service Station in Siping Road Sub-district, located on the ground floor of Zhongtian Building, received a group of special "visitors": representatives from emerging employment sectors such as couriers and food delivery riders. Amidst the intense summer heat, the "Summer Refreshment" event here brought a touch of warmth to their hearts.

"This is the activity space of our service station. We have prepared ice water, salted soda, and more. Everyone can drop by to pick some up while on their way to work and take a break..."

During the event, the staff of the Party and Mass Service Center of Siping Road Sub-district showed the visitors around the various functional areas of the service station, providing detailed information about the construction of the community's Party and mass front, the locations of the extended service points, and upcoming Party-building activities. A large screen displayed the activities planned for the following week at the service station, including health checks and traditional Chinese medicine consultations as part of the convenience service week for emerging fields, inviting the visitors to come and experience them in their free time.

A visit to the employee cafeteria in Zhongtian Building revealed the "Heart Warming Friday" lunch service program, which caught everyone's attention. From next Friday, August 16, the cafeteria will offer a limited number of 15 yuan warm "new" set meals to local couriers every day at noon. The meal includes a main meat dish, a side meat dish, a vegetarian dish and a bowl of hot soup. By collecting a coupon from the Tongji Rim Party and Mass Service Station before each meal, they can enjoy a satisfying and affordable meal.

"My biggest concern every day at work is where to have lunch. The small eateries outside are either unsanitary or too expensive, and are not filling enough. Now, the 'three dishes and a soup' meal by the sub-district is clean and affordable. I am really looking forward to giving it a try!" said a courier with a smile.

Following the tour, the representatives from emerging employment sectors and the staff of the Party and Mass Service Center of Siping Road Sub-district engaged in a symposium themed "Uniting 'New' Strength: A Heart-to-Heart Talk on the Party's Care and Progress". At the meeting, the couriers and delivery riders actively shared their thoughts, voicing their needs, hopes and advice regarding community services. They expressed their wishes on love notes and affixed them to the wish wall at the Party and mass service station: "I hope for a small electric fan", "I hope to have exclusive meal services"...

Moreover, Siping Road Sub-district presented a summer refreshment gift package to the representatives of the emerging employment sectors who participated in the event, showing gratitude for their hard work and dedication. The event also featured professional doctors from Shanghai Xinyilian Outpatient Department Co., Ltd., who shared tips on heatstroke prevention, first aid and other health issues.

The principle that "the people's city built by the people should serve the people" rings true this year as we celebrate the 5th anniversary of the people's city concept. Over the past five years, Siping Road Sub-district has earnestly implemented the concept, striving to address new challenges in building Yangpu into the best place to implement the concept. Intensifying Party building efforts in mixed-ownership enterprises, non-public enterprises, new economic organizations, new social organizations and new employment groups, and integrating corporate development with grassroots governance has been a consistent focus for the sub-district.

To fully implement the work requirements of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and the CPC Yangpu District Committee for comprehensive Party building in emerging fields, Siping Road Sub-district has taken proactive actions to ensure full coverage of Party building in emerging fields. These actions include strengthening mobilization and deployment, dynamically monitoring and tracking, flexibly establishing branches, improving service functions, implementing service mechanisms, and integrating multiple initiatives to achieve specific work objectives: establishing a dynamically updated work ledger, creating a categorized strategy for coverage, defining a long-acting responsibility performance method, refining a coordinated responsibility system, building a diverse and coordinated support force, and effectively utilizing robust Party and mass service platforms. This event marks a step towards integrating mixed-ownership enterprises, non-public enterprises, new economic organizations, new social organizations and new employment groups into grassroots Party building.

Moving forward, Siping Road Sub-district will build upon the initial digital records and continue to explore, adhering to a people-oriented philosophy and Party building leadership. With stronger and more comprehensive measures, the sub-district aims to effectively engage, serve and unite mixed-ownership enterprises, non-public enterprises, new economic organizations, new social organizations and new employment groups. Through various measures, it is committed to advancing the vivid practice of the people's city and creating a "Siping model" for the building of a people's city.
