[Event] "As long as it does not affect traffic, you can set up a stall in front of the door with peace of mind", "Set more stalls to make more money, I wish you a prosperous business", "Check out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, fresh fruits and vegetables and other products are easily frozen, pay attention to anti-freeze"... The Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau of Xiajin County, Dezhou, Shandong Province "yelled". From January 19 to February 17, merchants can temporarily set up stalls outside the store on the premise of complying with the "five packs in front of the door" regulations. This move not only facilitates citizens' shopping, but also increases merchant revenue and receives positive reviews.

How can a "temporary policy" win praise from multiple parties? On the one hand, holidays are the golden window for consumption, and merchants need to hurry up and promote, but the store space is limited and the product display is not intuitive. Fresh fruits and vegetables, various snacks, festive New Year’s goods... Putting the products outside the store breaks the space restrictions and is conducive to attracting customers. On the other hand, setting up stalls outside the store can also create a lively "New Year's flavor". On the way to visit relatives and friends, I picked vegetables and dried fruits in the bustling street market. The steaming fireworks during the hot conversation added a bit of ritual to the New Year.

This is not the first time Xiajin County has opened a temporary outdoor stall. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2024, the local area has conducted a seven-day temporary outdoor pilot program and accumulated experience. During the opening of stalls outside the store, the local government carried out a solid filing work, signed a "five packages in front of the door" responsibility letter with the merchants, and clarified their responsibilities and obligations. Relevant departments shall strengthen regular inspection and supervision, and promptly persuade and regulate "cross-border" behaviors. If supporting guarantees are in place, the potential negative impact can be minimized.

Urban governance is not an "objective question" with "standard answers". You might as well explore more flexible methods in moderation. Many places take into account people's livelihood needs and urban order, and enforce the law flexibly according to local and time, bringing real convenience to the people. Flexible law enforcement requires careful effort. Achieving orderly and precise governance under the premise of ensuring order will inevitably be accompanied by the increase in costs and even some risks will be borne. This requires the governor to "be willing to do", "dare to do" and "good to do" and make the first move.

Disin grains can be dried in the courtyard of the township government during the wheat harvest season, and minor violations of transit vehicles during the holidays are exempted from punishment... In recent years, minor measures for people's livelihood in many places have repeatedly attracted attention. These are not grand people's livelihood projects, but they are heartwarming moves to solve the actual problems of the people. Because it is close to the lives of the masses and can be seen and sensible, it can gain positive social response. The details are the most skillful and the most true feelings are the most. Whether people's livelihood can be done well in a small way, test the service level and work ability of government departments, and also test the manager's ability to understand and care about the needs of the masses.

It should also be noted that different situations and different conditions, and a certain measure may not be suitable for all places. For example, whether temporary road occupation and stall setting up a stall should be evaluated based on the street's own traffic carrying capacity, traffic density, etc. The main road that is too busy may not be applicable. To serve the people, we cannot "apply formulas" but should seek truth from facts. Adhering to the concept of putting people first, always caring about the people's urgent needs and concerns, and combining them with specific reality, we can discover space that can be done.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Do your best, do what you can, and do more practical things that conform to the public's opinions, benefit people's livelihood, and warm people's hearts." Turning the people's hearts into the things that the Party and the government, listening to demands step by step, and cultivating the "responsibility field" to serve the people will definitely make the people smile more and feel warmer.
