"Lei Cha" is a special delicacy widely welcomed by the masses in the Shenshan area, a traditional custom, a cultural symbol and an emotional bond. What "chemical reaction" will happen when traditional folk culture meets modern grassroots governance?

Since 2023, the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone has innovated the way of grassroots governance led by party building, using tea to convey feelings and promote governance. On the one hand, the traditional folk culture "Lei Cha" is integrated into modern governance to gather popularity, narrow the distance between the party and the masses, and stimulate new vitality for co-construction, co-governance and sharing; on the other hand, the party building leadership is strengthened, and the grassroots governance platform with grid management, refined services and information support is improved to promote the sinking of resources and forces to create a new situation for grassroots governance.

So far, the Shenshan "Lei Cha Club" has solved 327 urgent and difficult problems of the masses, with a resolution rate of 96.2%. Shenshan has continuously transformed the political and organizational advantages of grassroots party organizations into development advantages and governance effectiveness by serving the masses with practical measures and warming people's hearts with practical results, opening up a new atmosphere for grassroots governance.

The popular "Lei Cha Party" has become a beautiful landscape

How to integrate folk culture into grassroots governance based on local conditions and based on the needs of the masses?

At the beginning of the new year, a New Year's Day art performance of "Lei Cha Talks about Hometown Feelings and Works Together to Promote Development" was held in Luokeng Village. The village party branch set up 30 tables of Lei Cha, attracting more than 700 villagers to participate.

Ye Weihua, secretary of the party branch and director of the village committee of Luokeng Village, told reporters: "We set up a lot of display boards to introduce major projects such as the expansion and reconstruction of Shenshan West, Wangpeng Avenue, and the future planning of Luokeng Village, property rights system reform and other matters, which were recognized by the villagers and achieved the effect of gathering hearts and minds."

Tang Lei, a grid worker in Luokeng Village, was very busy that day, setting up tables and chairs, distributing tea sets, changing props, and making good medical and safety emergency guarantees. "We also want to take this opportunity to further narrow the distance with the masses and promote daily population registration, comprehensive management, fire safety and other work."

The masses praised the Leicha meeting. Ye Guosong, an old party member of Luokeng Village, actively participated in volunteer services. "It is difficult to gather 700 people for meetings at ordinary times. The Leicha meeting has brought great publicity. Through the Leicha meeting, the enthusiasm, unity and hospitality of Luokeng Village are also demonstrated." Villager Liu Guixia said, "The opening dance combines the local Leicha song, and the dance incorporates elements such as Leicha and tea drinking. The fashion show costumes are made of environmentally friendly plastic bags, which is very creative and everyone likes it."

"With the help of the "Leicha meeting", we can better play the role of party building leading, rallying the masses and serving the masses." Mo Daoyuan, secretary of the Party General Branch of the Yumen Community, said that Leicha is a local folk tradition in Shenshan. Holding a Leicha meeting is to invite neighbors and villagers to come to the door of the community party and mass service center to drink tea and chat, listen to the voices of the masses, fully understand the masses' urgent needs, and do practical and good things for the masses through "Leicha discussion".

Last year, the community held a series of activities such as Lei Cha, Lei Cha Development, Lei Cha to Promote Peace, and Lei Cha to Resolve Conflicts, which were well-received by the masses. In particular, the Lei Cha Club successfully solved the governance problem of "common wall buildings", which was highly recognized by the superior departments and became a beautiful landscape of grassroots governance where the party and the masses are connected.

Strengthen the power to polish the "Lei Cha Club" brand and empower grassroots governance

The "Lei Cha Club" was well received and opened a new situation for grassroots governance in Shenzhen and Shantou. The Organization and Personnel Bureau of the Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone took advantage of the situation, strengthened the leadership of party building, and continued to promote the sinking of party members, cadres, and resources from all parties to make grassroots governance more powerful.

On the one hand, hardware efforts. In recent years, the Shenzhen-Shantou "1+4+6" Party and Mass Service Center has been fully built and its functions have been continuously optimized, effectively consolidating the grassroots party and mass service positions in the cooperation zone; on the other hand, software upgrades. Shenshan has made great efforts to select and strengthen grassroots town and village cadres. With the support of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, 39 selected students were sent to 39 villages (communities) for practical training to continuously improve the grassroots party organizations' ability to serve the masses.

Take Luokeng Village as an example. Relying on carriers such as the "Lei Cha Meeting", the village continues to enhance the ability of party building to lead grassroots governance. Selected student Xie Lien said with emotion, "The villagers' enthusiasm for participating in rural construction and seeking development has been significantly improved."

"The villagers chatted over Lei Cha and revealed a lot of heart-wrenching and annoying things." Yang Youdong, secretary of the Chaomianshan Village Party Branch in Yumen Town, said that through the Lei Cha Meeting, the new mechanism of "the masses order and ask questions, and party members and cadres take orders to solve problems" was explored and summarized to solve a number of practical problems such as housing and drinking water.

Hongyuan Village also opened the conversation of the masses with Lei Cha and talent performances. The town and village cadres accepted the problems raised by the masses on the spot, worked on the phone on the spot, and responded on the spot, effectively solving the worries of the people, alleviating the difficulties of the people, and warming the hearts of the people, stimulating the endogenous motivation of grassroots governance.

The "Lei Cha Party" also effectively promotes the sinking of resources and the shift of the focus of governance.

Not long ago, the Party Branch of the Shenzhen-Shantou Development and Reform Finance Bureau (Statistics Bureau), the Comprehensive Management and Stability Maintenance Office of Chishi Town, and the Party Branch of Yuandun Village jointly set up a "Lei Cha stall". Party members and cadres registered the problems, designated specific personnel to follow up and track them, and dealt with them within a time limit. The Shenzhen-Shantou Court has successively cooperated with the Party General Branch of Hongquan Village and the General Branch of the Community of the People's Government ... On that day, the first farmhouse project in Shenshan that was completely run by the village collective and operated by the economic association was opened, opening up sales for the village's agricultural and sideline products and attracting popularity for the ancient post road ecological tour.

Next, Shenshan will continue to deepen the leadership of party building, make full use of the "leicha meeting" to give full play to the main role of the masses and the position fortress home function of the party and mass service center, gather wisdom and strength, and promote high-quality leapfrog development of the economy and society.
