Chapter 512

Nanyuan Television Station's "Ask Governance Nanyuan" is a large-scale live talk show, originally the flagship program of Nanyuan TV, but it has currently been neglected, suffering from low audience participation and low viewership. The cause is definitely formalism; the program does not address substantive issues, and the common people's eyes are sharp.

Lu Fan wanted this column to truly function, so he instructed the publicity department and the TV station to focus on the functional departments and counties/districts that have the most direct and closest contact with the masses, in implementing state policies and focusing on the hot and difficult issues of public concern, mobilizing public participation and oversight, in order to obtain a good social response and viewership.

But no one expected that the staff would actually accept all these problems verbatim, breaking glasses all over the floor. Many people wondered, can these problems really be aired on TV?

With a few days left until August 25, the masses of Nanyuan City harbor doubts in their hearts, all anticipating the broadcast of "Ask Governance Nanyuan"; surely the viewership will explode that day!

On August 23, the Discipline Inspection Committee of Huayuan Province issued a notice, filing a case for investigation into suspected serious violations of discipline by Ma Jinming, Party Secretary and Director of the Standing Committee of the Nanyuan Municipal People's Congress; Ma Jinming is currently undergoing organizational investigation.

On the same day, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee issued a document, relieving Ma Jinming of his related posts; the work of the Nanyuan Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee is now presided over by Municipal Party Secretary Lu Fan, so Lu Fan now has no restraints in Nanyuan.

In the afternoon, Tang Wenxuan, director of the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office, came to Lu Fan's office and reported: "Secretary, the Inspection Office has consolidated the problems and leads gathered from various channels; please review and approve."

Lu Fan looked and saw that the summary sheet actually listed 128 problems; he couldn't help but frown and said: "How can Nanyuan have so many problems? Involving so many counties/districts and departments? Is this just a part? What are they doing? This is typical of nonfeasance, laziness and dereliction of duty!"

Wenxuan, for the "Ask Governance Nanyuan" program tomorrow night, you let the secretaries or county chiefs of each county/district, as well as the heads of all municipal departments, wait at the TV station; arrange a "VIP seat" at the broadcast site, and whoever has a problem goes up to present themselves before the whole city's populace, with the on-site office resolving the issue. Do not leak this summary sheet; let me see how familiar they really are with work! After being "officials" for so long, it's necessary to let this bunch of "bureaucrats" blush, sweat, wash up, and get treated!

Hearing this, Tang Wenxuan felt as if he were rooted to the spot; although the City Investment Company is a state-owned enterprise, its authority and the amount of funds it controls are not small, especially since the secretary has placed many projects there—this is absolutely a "lucrative sinecure"; he never imagined such a great fortune could fall on him.

Lu Fan said solemnly: "Going to the City Investment Company, you must seriously study the Company Law, focus on internal management, guard against corruption risks, gradually implement a standardized modern corporate management system, achieving clear property rights, clear responsibilities, separation of government and enterprise, scientific management, and steady long-term development."

The company's development positioning must be clear, use funds scientifically, plan more to make up for people's livelihood shortcomings, be a vanguard force of new urbanization, strengthen the sense of excellence, create urban excellence for Nanyuan City, and leave a legacy rather than regrets.

After the program started, the host said: "Hello to the audience members present and in front of their televisions, as well as netizens watching the live broadcast online; good evening, you are now watching the large-scale integrated media governance program 'Ask Governance Nanyuan'. It is an honor to invite Municipal Party Committee Secretary Lu Fan of Nanyuan City to join this episode; please, Secretary Lu, say a few words to the audience!"

Lu Fan picked up the microphone and smiled: "He who knows where the roof leaks is beneath the eaves; he who knows where governance fails is among the common folk. 'Ask Governance Nanyuan' focuses on the people's 'urgent, difficult, anxious, and hopeful' concerns, asking governance from the people, asking needs from the people, asking plans from the people; by smoothing communication channels and drawing on wisdom and strength, it can make government decisions and policies more scientific, more attuned to public sentiment, warming hearts, and understanding public opinion, building a 'heart-to-heart bridge' for public opinion, and precisely opening the 'last mile' of communication with the people."

All levels and departments of Nanyuan City will adhere to 'respond immediately, handle immediately', ensuring that 'reasonable demands not processed fail, inquiries without clear answers fail, and temporarily unsolvable matters without a promised time limit fail', truly achieving 'the people's call, the government's response', solely for one satisfactory voice from the people, solely to spread the 'good voice of asking governance' farther.

Alright, no wasting precious time; let's get straight to the point—we'll solve the problems one by one!

The first question raised by the host was from a CPPCC member: hoping the hometown would vigorously develop brand tourism, local culture, and strengthen cultural-tourism supporting facilities, etc., to boost Nanyuan's cultural-tourism development. He pointed out that currently the city only has one HanTing, one Jinjiang Inn, and one City Convenience hotel—too few. Moreover, the neighboring Xiangcheng is always 'luring' Nanyuan. During last year's New Year's mini-holiday, it 'lured' 300,000 Nanyuan residents to Xiangcheng to see fireworks and revel. Someone even coined a catchy phrase: 'Nanyuan earns money, Xiangcheng spends it.'

Lu Fan picked up the microphone, his expression stern, and said: "Let me answer this question! As the Municipal Party Secretary of Nanyuan City, hearing these words has greatly stimulated me, even making me feel pained, flushed, and ashamed! Why do we earn money in Nanyuan but spend it in Xiangcheng? From the small signs we can see, it shows that our service industry, our cultural-tourism and creative industry are lagging! It is worthy of the Municipal Party Committee and City Government to deeply reflect from a strategic height."

2. Improve tourism accommodation quality.

Actively invite well-known domestic cultural-tourism enterprises to conduct on-site inspections in our city, based on the forest park develop recreational items, combining large-scale amusement venues and zoo projects into one, enriching tourists' experience, and promoting the development of Nanyuan's cultural-tourism industry.

4. Waive rents for the government office snack street, plan a new university town snack street, plan recreational projects along both banks of the Bai River, set up camping areas and self-service barbecue zones, establish landmark buildings, letting citizens feel full of happiness.

5. Combine the two Han cultures, upgrade based on the existing museum foundation, embed digitization so that more cultural relics come alive and move; increase the number of Nanyang museums so that more people can enter and feel Nanyuan's profound culture; increase Nanyuan's public cultural service venues.

6. Hold the 'Three Visits to Nanyuan' Mid-Autumn Music Festival and ten large-scale concerts. With stage setups and cultural-tourism performances, taking 'one performance ignites a city' as Nanyuan's breakout code and new engine for consumption.

8、By carrying out special actions such as creating the "National Cleanest City", "National Sponge City", and "National Food Safety Demonstration City", we will spare no effort to enhance the overall strength and image of Nanyuan tourism!

9、Nanyuan earns money, Nanyuan spends it; Nanyuan's development relies on everyone; watch the Chu-Han splendour, better than watching fireworks in Xiangcheng! This year, the city will hold a series of New Year celebrations, creating activities including folk customs, opera, performances, parades, markets, etc., with a scale unprecedented in years! Nanyuan has prepared a table of cultural tourism "good dishes", inviting visitors from all directions to come and "taste the fresh"!

At the same time, Nanyuan will hold a super-large fireworks show and drone show, allowing Nanyuan's people to settle the past and welcome hope in the New Year's fireworks, continue to pursue the endless love and dreams, and enjoy unexpected happiness and beauty!

Nanyuan's cultural tourism resources are excellent, everyone has high expectations for Nanyuan, Municipal Party Committee, City Government have determination and confidence, continuously doing well to perfect and improve all work, promoting Nanyuan's cultural tourism toward a better future!

Lu Fan's powerful and resonant answer won applause from the whole hall, showing everyone a good leader who is good at thinking, diligent and pragmatic in governance, brave in taking responsibility, and enterprising!

His words, the people of Nanyuan believe! This is based on Lu Fan always putting the people first, solving problems for the people, serving the people, and having done a large amount of effective work through diligent effort, earning the widespread heartfelt recognition and praise of Nanyuan's cadres and masses.
