Public welfare life in Qiqi Lane

Xinhuanet, Fuzhou, September 9th (Liu Mohan) In the hot afternoon, the slate road in the Qi Lane of Sanfang, Fuzhou was hot. A sweaty sanitation worker, walking to the "Love Tea Stall" on the intersection of Jimei Lane and Macau Road, continued to fill a pot of tea familiarly. When he was leaving Farewell.

"Is the tea enough? Do you want to add more?" Ye Xiaodi, who was still greeted the guest, asked and asked with concern.

Since the establishment of a "Love Tea Stall" in 2012, Ye Xiaodi came to the store early to boil two pots of hot tea for passers -by for free. Over time, it has become a "gas station" for sanitation workers in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Although Ye Ye is named "Little Brother", he is the "public welfare brother" in the eyes of everyone.

More than 20 years ago, Ye Xiaodi, who was engaged in pearl breeding business, came to Fuzhou Minhou from his hometown in Zhejiang to do business. Later, he opened a pearl jewelry shop in Jibaoxiangkou, Fuzhou City, and also operated the business of tobacco and alcohol. In addition to operation, Ye Xiaodi not only set up a "love tea stall", but also participated in community volunteer services in the spare time. In 2018, the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau of the Chengbei District of Fuzhou City established the Sanfang Qixiang Public Welfare Team. Because of the years of adhering to the experience and "prestige" of public welfare services, Ye Xiaodi was selected by the surrounding retailers as the team leader.

Under the leadership of Ye Xiaodi, this public welfare team and tobacco department, community, civil affairs bureau, social welfare institute and other units composed of Sanfang Qixiang merchants have continuously expanded the "radius" of public welfare and benefited more social groups.

Since 2019, the Sanfang Qixiang Public Welfare Team has launched an average of more than 20 public welfare activities each year. The team has also continued to grow in the event. From the initial small team with only 7 people, it has now developed into a large team of more than 100 people. As the leader, Ye Xiaodi, in the three years from 2019 to 2021, individuals participated in the volunteer service for 2720 hours.

In recent years, Ye Xiaodi has won the honor of the most beautiful volunteers in Fujian's epidemic prevention and control, and the honesty, trustworthy and moral model of Gulou District.

"Doing public welfare actually feeds our retail merchants." Little Brother Ye said that the public welfare cause lubricated the interpersonal relationship between the merchants and the surrounding residents. While doing a good job of public welfare, everyone also did a good business to form a virtuous circle. He plans to lead the public welfare team out of the city in the future, go to mountainous areas with underdeveloped economy, and help rural revitalization.

In fact, Ye Xiaodi is only one of the grass -roots representatives of Fuzhou's promotion of the creation of civilized cities in the country. According to data from the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee Civilization Office, as of now, the city has over 1.4 million volunteers.

At present, Fuzhou is solidly promoting the standardized, large -scale, professional, institutionalization, and branding construction of volunteer services to consolidate and enhance the achievements of the creation of civilized cities across the country. As the competent department of small and micro enterprises such as retail merchants, and individual industrial and commercial households, Huang Hongxia, deputy secretary of the party committee of the two new organizations of the Fuzhou market supervision and management system, said that the future market supervision and management system will further promote the publicity and guidance of public welfare groups such as retailers and improve it. The influence of the public welfare group forms a better demonstration effect. On the other hand, it will also strengthen the development and cultivation of the public welfare group, actively participate in various civilization creation volunteer services, and make more contributions to the creation of a model of civilized civilization.
