Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 16 (Reporter Zou Yuqin) "In recent years, I have truly felt that the party and the country's care for our new employment groups has become more and more detailed and warm." Li Yan, a full-time rider at JD.com, said, "I also gradually feel that I am seen, respected and recognized."

In recent years, various localities and departments have worked hard to alleviate the difficulties of new employment groups and continue to strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of new employment groups.
"I signed a labor contract directly with JD.com, and the company fully paid five social insurances and one fund for our full-time riders, which solved our worries when traveling. Warm stations and rider-friendly service scenes can be seen everywhere in the city, allowing us to rest, drink water and recharge when we are tired from running, which gives us a lot of real protection." Li Yan said.
Talking about the phenomenon of new employment groups actively participating in social governance in recent years, Li Yan said that in the past, riders only focused on running orders to increase income, but now they not only "provide services", but also "actively participate in city co-construction." Thousands of new employment groups are like the city's "mobile eyes", taking root in the streets and alleys every day.
"I am a rider, a volunteer, and a food safety social supervisor. This year, I have helped people who fell down many times on the road, and assisted in handling many road traffic emergencies. Riders walk through the streets and alleys, and during the process of running orders, they can promptly report problems such as food safety hazards in stores and damaged road manhole covers. The party committee of the online delivery industry and JD.com have also always encouraged us to actively do good and serve the society." He said.
"I run orders in the Beijing Sub-Centre, and as a representative of the new employment groups, I also appeared on the stage of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei citizens' New Year's Gala. As a front-line worker, I came to the stage and showed a new look. This recognition and care for front-line workers makes us love this city even more, and we will continue to pass on this warmth and care. I also look forward to more channels in the future to listen to the voices of our front-line new employment groups." Li Yan said.

According to statistics from the New Taipei City Animal Protection and Epidemic Prevention Office, as of the end of August this year, 66 reports of missing parrots had been received, an increase of approximately 2 times compared with the same period last year. In order to enhance owners' responsibilities and implement identity management, the Animal Welfare Office has launched a registration incentive program. The first 500 people who complete the registration of non-dog and cat pets and download the "My New Taipei City" APP will receive NT$300, which can be used at the four major supermarkets and some cooperative stores. The event runs until December 31. The Animal Welfare Department stated that after accepting a report of a lost pet bird, it will make an announcement on the official website for 14 days to help find the original owner. Parrots that have not been claimed after the expiration date will be assisted by the Taiwan Bird Guardian Alliance Rescue Association. They will be open to the public for adoption after being assessed as suitable. The adoption status will be tracked regularly to ensure that the rescued birds are properly cared for. Veterinarians from the Animal Welfare Department remind that before raising a parrot, you should understand its lifespan and care needs. The common life span of small parrots is about 6 to 25 years, and large parrots can even live for more than 70 years. It is necessary to purchase a metal cage that is suitable for stretching and not easy to rust, and to feed special feed and fresh vegetables and melons. Change water regularly, clean feces and food residues, and provide appropriate companionship and safe time out of the cage. The most important thing to note is that the parrot's emotional changes include screaming, feather pecking and other abnormalities. The Animal Welfare Department pointed out that parrots have high IQs and strong learning abilities. They will open the cage door and escape by observing and imitating it. People can add buckles on the outside of the cage to provide an extra layer of protection to prevent escape, and put anklets on pet birds to increase the chance of recovery after they escape. Keeping a pet is not a temporary whim, but a lifelong responsibility. We call on the public to implement "nurture for life, never give up". From escape prevention, care to identity registration, taking one more step can increase the chance of your beloved bird returning home safely. If you find an injured pet bird or need rescue, you can call the Animal Welfare Department’s 24-hour hotline 1959 or (02) 2959-6353 to report it.
