On the banks of the Jinsha River, the Sunshine City of Flowers. As the only prefecture-level and municipal-level common prosperity pilot zone in the country, Panzhihua is using the power of a united front to forge a new path of grassroots united front work to promote common prosperity with shared ideas, industry alliances, and benefiting the people and warming hearts.
In recent years, the United Front Work Department of the Panzhihua Municipal Party Committee has closely followed the overall situation of the construction of the Common Prosperity Pilot Zone and innovatively implemented the five major actions of "Together for Common Prosperity" to promote the sinking of United Front resources, forward service, and aggregation of forces. The relevant experience has been successfully selected as a typical case of the national United Front to promote common prosperity.
Lead ideas to the grassroots and turn "consensus" into "action"
How to carry out united front work at the grassroots level must first clarify the direction and gather consensus. The United Front Work Department of the Panzhihua Municipal Party Committee took the lead in setting up a special class for social mobilization, issued the "Implementation Plan for Panzhihua's Practical Innovation Work for Sharing Wealth Together", established a list of responsibilities for grassroots united front work at the city, county, township and village levels to support shared wealth, and guided United Front members to clarify "what shared wealth is, what the united front does, and how the grassroots do it."
At the same time, the "I offer a proposal for high-quality development and construction of a common prosperity pilot zone" activity was carried out, and more than 810 opinions were collected; democratic parties and non-partisans were organized to initiate more than 130 special projects, of which 35 were included in the municipal social science plan, 7 were identified as key projects of the provincial party committee of the democratic parties, and more than 30 suggestions were transformed into policy measures for the "15th Five-Year Plan", turning the "golden ideas" at the grassroots level into "practical measures" to promote common prosperity.
In terms of the construction of publicity positions, relying on platforms such as the Third Front Construction Museum and the "Tongxin Lecture Hall", more than 60 theme activities were carried out, covering more than 150,000 people, and the concept of joint construction, sharing and prosperity was deeply rooted in the concept.
Resources are transferred to industries, turning "advantages" into "momentum"
The key to the development of grassroots united front services is to sink resources and make use of advantages. Panzhihua gave full play to the "through train" advantage of the democratic parties, invited central leaders of the democratic parties to Panzhihua for investigation, and successfully held the 2024 China (Panzhihua) Health Care Industry Development Conference. Continue to deepen "agricultural cooperation" and "nine mountain cooperation", seek support from the Central Committee of Jiusan Society for the reorganization and upgrading of the National Key Laboratory of Vanadium and Titanium, and help Renhe District be approved as a provincial key beautiful rural county.
On the rural frontline, "Ten Thousand Enterprises Prosper Ten Thousand Villages" is being advanced in depth. The city's 209 administrative villages have achieved full coverage of paired construction, guided 260 private enterprises and business associations to participate in rural revitalization, invested 110 million yuan in assistance funds, and implemented more than 160 industrial projects. By promoting the "Enterprise + Cooperative + Farmer" and "Co-Prosperity Workshop" models, the "Together and Co-Prosperity Seed Fund" was established to ensure the development of characteristic agricultural industries and drive the people to continue to increase their income. The relevant experience was promoted by "Sichuan Daily".
At the same time, Panzhihua innovated the "Yi Qi Xing" normalized government-enterprise communication mechanism, and through the "quarterly symposium + special consultation" model, it resolved more than 240 requests from private enterprises, signed regional strategic cooperation agreements, and empowered the transformation and upgrading of characteristic industries.
Services extend to the front line, turning "people's needs" into "temperature"
United front at the grassroots level should not only build consensus but also warm people's hearts. Panzhihua regularly carries out "New Level·Five Delivery" public welfare services, organizes more than 80 free clinics, legal aid and other activities, conducts more than 230 skills training sessions, covering more than 14,000 people, holds more than 20 special recruitment sessions, supports more than 40 returned talents to start their own businesses, and helps more than 4,400 people stabilize their employment.
In the process of building national unity and progress, Panzhihua has built a strong sense of the Chinese nation's community throughout the entire process, and issued special opinions to help improve the quality of specialty industries in ethnic areas. The output value of the mango and konjac industries has grown steadily, driving the average income of all ethnic groups to increase by more than 10,000 yuan. Panzhihua City successfully created the twelfth batch of national national unity and progress demonstration zones, and Renhe District was awarded the national national unity and progress model collective.
Members of the United Front have also actively participated in public welfare and charity, with a total of more than 20 million yuan in donations. They have accurately implemented charity projects such as the "Ng Teng Fong Scholarship" and secured funds of 1.65 million yuan to help needy groups. They have regularly carried out medical treatment in rural areas and charity clinics, serving tens of thousands of people.
Governance is embedded into the grid, turning "concentricity" into "synthetic force"
Integrating united front work into governance at the grassroots level should extend service reach to the masses. Panzhihua's 49 towns (subdistricts) and 455 villages (communities) are equipped with United Front committee members and United Front liaison officers, and have improved a grass-roots United Front governance system that covers all areas and is connected from top to bottom, relying on the "Concentric Council" and "Pomegranate Seed Mediation" Office", build a strong "micro-grid + small community + grand united front" network, promote united front services, public opinion collection, and conflict resolution to sink into the network, realize that "small things do not leave the grid, and difficult things do not leave the village community", and create a harmonious and stable environment for the construction of common prosperity.
From the "Tongxin Lecture Hall" to the "Common Wealth Workshop", from the "Pomegranate Seed Mediation Room" to "Micro Grids + Small Communities + United Front", Panzhihua has brought grassroots united front work to the masses, to the front line of the industry, and to the end of governance, allowing the power of unity to continue to gather on the road to common prosperity and contribute to the high-quality development and construction of the common prosperity pilot zone.
