Since the beginning of this year, Luxi County, Hunan Province, has adhered to the orientation of strengthening the foundation, grasping the strong foundation at the grassroots level, and innovating the implementation of the "Village Security Regular Meeting" - the village community holds regular meetings every month to analyze, judge and solve the outstanding problems in the construction of safety and the maintenance of safety and stability in the jurisdiction, and take it as an important starting point for the extension of the "Political and Legal Monthly Meeting" at the grassroots level and the promotion of the construction of safe villages, and explore a unique road of rural governance.
The source of innovation: from the needs of the people, should be born in time
With the actual needs of economic and social development, the gradual increase in contradictions and disputes faced by rural areas, and the urgent and urgent solutions of the masses, the traditional governance model is difficult to adapt to the requirements of the new era, and there is an urgent need for a governance mechanism that is closer to the people, more timely, more efficient, more convenient and flexible. In this context, the "Village Security Regular Meeting" came into being.
In Duyong Village, Dalan Town, Luxi County, "find the village committee if you have something" is full of warmth and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In this small village, there are many elderly people and children left behind, and their children and parents cannot take care of them outside, so they always send a signal for help to the village committee as soon as possible, and the village committee has become the first support and closest person in their lives. "Pay the electricity bill, repair the faucet, replace the light bulb, etc., as long as there is a phone call, we will rush to it in time." So said the village director.
An elderly man in the village had harvested rapeseed in the evening, and he was unable to carry it alone, so he called the village auxiliary police for help. When he was tired and sweating profusely, and was about to wash his face and rest, he received a call for voluntary "patrol" again, and drove away into the curtain with a smile.
The real picture is the vivid practice and embodiment of the county's implementation of the "village security regular meeting" mechanism to promote rural governance and social services, which not only meets the actual needs of the grassroots, but also effectively promotes the solution of the people's urgent and difficult problems.
Effect of governance: resolve conflicts and promote harmony
Adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, take the "Village Safety Regular Meeting" as a platform, focus on resolving contradictions and disputes, improve the efficiency of source governance, and ensure that "small things do not go out of the village (community), major things do not go out of the township (town), and contradictions are not handed over, so as to promote "great peace in the whole county" and maintain social harmony and stability with "one village and one small peace".
Walking into Wuguotao Village, Pushi Town, Luxi County, a quiet and peaceful scene came into view. This is due to the remarkable results of the "regular village security meeting" in conflict mediation. The year before last, there was a wave in the village, caused by a pair of elderly parents who encountered difficulties in supporting them, and the responsibility of supporting two adult children caused widespread heated discussions. At this time, the "regular meeting of village security" played its unique role as a platform, inviting the family members involved to participate in the regular meeting of village security, and the participants analyzed the legal obligations of supporting the elderly in detail, focusing on the exchange and guidance of family affection, responsibility and gratitude, and the knot of the two children gradually untied, and voluntarily signed an agreement to support their parents, successfully resolving the dispute.
This time, the successful mediation of the family dispute through the "Village Security Regular Meeting" not only curbed the further intensification of the conflict in a timely and effective manner, but also provided the village with a classic case of mediating family disputes by "promoting understanding with feelings, understanding with reason, and reconciliation with law".
Since the implementation of the "village safety regular meeting" system in early 2024, a total of 704 conflicts and disputes have been mediated in various villages (communities) in Luxi, of which 695 have been successfully resolved, with a mediation success rate of 98.72%, an increase of 2.3 percentage points compared with last year, and effectively resolve conflicts at the grassroots level.
Solid foundation: work together to create peace
As the old saying goes: "Governing the country is constant, and benefiting the people is the foundation", "The people are the state, and the country is solid". The "Village Security Regular Meeting" conforms to the voice of the people, gathers grassroots forces, stimulates the consciousness, initiative and enthusiasm of the people to participate in social governance, protects the safety of the party, and shares the peace and prosperity of the world.
In Dapiliu Village, Tanxi Town, a series of rule of law and safety education activities, such as drowning prevention, sexual assault prevention, and opposition to school violence, were carried out with the "Village Safety Meeting" as the starting point, which enhanced children's legal awareness, put an end to the occurrence of drowning, sexual assault and school violence, created a good social environment, and promoted the healthy growth of minors.
At the "Village Security Regular Meeting" in Dongdiping Village, Xixi Town, it was made clear that the village party secretary was responsible for visiting Wang, a villager who was about to be released from prison, to do a good job in the early stage of his return to society, to guide him to establish a correct outlook on life and values, and to encourage him to be a new person. After Wang regained his freedom, he actively participated in the society, and took the initiative to keep in touch with the village and accept help and education during the period when he went out to work. This move vividly interprets the unique charm of extending the tentacles of the "Village Security Regular Meeting" to promote social governance.
In Chaoyang Community, Wuxi Town, a grid worker found the danger of peeling off the exterior wall of a building next to the sidewalk during an inspection, and immediately reported it to the neighborhood committee. After learning about it, the neighborhood committee quickly cooperated with relevant units to set up a warning area to ensure the safety of pedestrians; On the other hand, by holding a "regular village safety meeting", the residents of the building were organized to negotiate and study solutions together, and agreed to jointly fund the repair, which eliminated potential safety hazards in a timely manner. Since the beginning of this year, Chaoyang Community has implemented the "Village Safety Regular Meeting" system, which has made community governance more standardized and orderly, social management more democratic and efficient, and the masses live in peace and contentment.
The vivid practice of the "Village Safety Regular Meeting" in Luxi County provides valuable inspiration for promoting rural governance. It pays attention to prevention and governance at the source, based on prevention, mediation, rule of law, and grassroots, and under the guidance of grassroots party organizations, it fully mobilizes the masses, organizes the masses, and relies on the masses to solve their own affairs, which stimulates the autonomy potential of the villagers to the greatest extent, enhances the efficiency of rural governance, and builds a picture of a harmonious and beautiful countryside that is vibrant, prosperous, prosperous, safe and harmonious.
