Perform duties and powers in accordance with the law, and escort the implementation of the "Safeguards Law". As an organ of local power, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has the power to ensure the observance and implementation of the Constitution, laws, administrative regulations, and resolutions of the people's congresses at higher levels and their standing committees within their respective administrative regions. In order to better promote the implementation of the "Safeguard Law", the Standing Committee of the Qufu Municipal People's Congress set up a law enforcement inspection team to conduct the first law enforcement inspection of the implementation of the "Safeguard Law" by the Qufu Municipal Government. The law enforcement inspection adopted the method of "listening, watching, and discussing," inspecting xiaoxue street, The Service Station for Veterans in Fangshan Town, and the Service Station for Veterans in Luyuan New Village, Nishan Town, and other places, held forums and discussions, listened to the work report made by Zhang Wei, director of the Municipal Bureau of Veterans' Affairs, on behalf of the municipal government, affirmed the specific measures taken by Qufu to implement the "Security Law," affirmed the construction of the three major systems of "organizational management system," "work operation system," and "policy system system" in the affairs of veterans, and at the same time increased financial input 3. Consolidate infrastructure, implement the policy of supporting the army, give play to the role of red bases, strengthen their own construction, etc., put forward opinions and suggestions, so that every retired soldier truly feels the care and respect of the party and the government, and enhances the sense of gain, satisfaction and happiness of retired soldiers.

According to the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of the Rule of Law in the Work of Veterans in the New Era" issued by the Department of Veterans' Affairs of Shandong Province, Qufu City will adhere to a higher position to do a good job in ensuring the service of veterans. Take the management and service work of veterans as a reality test and practical action to practice the "four consciousnesses" and implement the "two safeguards", conscientiously implement various policies, innovate service methods, and do a solid job in ensuring the service of veterans. More effective measures will be taken to ensure the service of veterans.
