Chapter 565: National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit inspection! (1/2)

Morning.

District Government No. 4 meeting room.

The room was quiet as the District Leaders walked up the podium and sat at their respective seats. The meeting on the District Government’s management of the nursing homes had started.

Dong Xuebing is surprised to see District Mayor Geng Yuehua attending this meeting. She sat at the main seat, and he didn’t know some of them, as there were no nameplates on the table. The District Executive Deputy Mayor, Shen Fei, is sitting beside Geng Yuehua. Dong Xuebing can recognize him because he had seen his photographs on the Government Website before. He is in his early thirties and is considered young for his position. He looks cultured, and his education level should be high.

The District Mayor and Executive Deputy Mayor are here for the meeting.

Why are they so concerned about this meeting? Is there something going on?

Dong Xuebing is not the only one with such thoughts. District Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei organizes this meeting, but the District Mayor is attending. Most of the attendees are a surprise, but a few seem to know this will happen.

Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei starts the meeting.

Shen Fei announced the start of the meeting and passed the microphone to District Mayor Geng.

Geng Yuehua looks at the attendees. “I will talk about the progress of our District’s Nursing Home management first. I have read the reports from all the subdistricts. Some have done well, and some progress is slower. Among all the subdistricts, Ping An Subdistrict had done the best. Their Nursing homes’ management is the best.”

Ping An Subdistrict Office’s Director Chu Qinghua, who was seated below, remained emotionless.

Dong Xuebing frowned and looked at Chu Qinghhua. Many other Subdistrict Directors also looked at him.

Praising Ping An Subdistrict Office at the start of her speech?!

What is the underlying meaning?

Geng Yuehua continues. She did not prepare any scripts and continued giving out a series of directives.

Geng Yuehua had analyzed the District’s nursing homes and found issues with the management. This is the critical period for the neighborhood nursing homes. The various Subdistricts and relevant departments must speed up the construction, and they must house at least 55% of the elderly. She also emphasized the duration. The construction must not be delayed, and the person in charge from various Subdistricts must monitor closely. Third, all nursing homes must be integrated to have higher efficiency. She mentioned that the Neighborhood Nursing Home is an important project ordered from the higher-ups. All Subdistrict Offices must be hands-on, and the supplies must be prepared.

Geng Yuehua took three minutes to finish six directives.

Geng Yuehua is direct and speaks fast. It’s hard to imagine she can remember everything without a script.

Dong Xuebing and the rest took notes.

Geng Yuehua paused for a while and looked at Chu Qinghua. “Director Chu, come up and share Ping An Subdistrict Office’s situation with the rest.”

Chu Qinghua quickly walks up the podium.

The Leader’s words are directives and orders, and Chu Qinghua cannot speak like Geng Yuehua. Many of the attendees have the same rank as him, and he cannot give them orders. That’s why he can only mention his experiences and how he coordinated the construction.

When the meeting was about to end, the Executive Deputy Mayor, Shen Fei, took the microphone and announced. “The inspection team from the Central Government will be visiting Ping An Subdistrict Office. Nan Shan District had nominated them as a candidate for this year’s National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit.”

No wonder the District Mayor praised Chu Qinghua at the start of the meeting.

The District is so focused on respecting and caring for the elderly this year because they are helping Ping An Subdistrict Office win the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit. This is a prestigious award. More than a thousand individuals won the National Respect and Cared for the elderly model citizens. Still, only a dozen units can get the model unit award. It might be a dozen and sounds a lot, but this is selected from all over China. On average, there are two winners from every Province, and one Province has over ten thousand units.

Because of the Subdistrict Office’s work nature, it’s hard for them to achieve results. Even if they have results, it will be overshadowed by the District Government. It cannot be compared to Village Township levels. Such model unit selection is the best way for a Subdistrict Office to shine. The Central Government will send an inspection team to visit the nominated Subdistrict. The China National Committee will decide the winner on Ageing and Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is a significant achievement, and this is why the District placed such high emphasis on it.

Meeting ended.

All the Subdistrict Office Directors started discussing it.

None of Fen Zhou City’s departments or units have ever won the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s model unit, let alone Nan Shan District. A Fen Zhou City’s Neighborhood was nominated before, but they failed the first round of inspection.
