Focusing on "Substance" Projects Reflects the Commitment to Serving the People

According to reports, Xining City in Qinghai Province has an average altitude of 2,200 meters, with oxygen levels only 80% of those in plain areas. However, investigations reveal that the city has constructed 61 pedestrian overpasses and 37 underpasses, nearly 90% of which are equipped with elevators—totaling 258 units. This translates to approximately one public convenience facility per square kilometer. These efforts not only address the mobility challenges faced by residents in high-altitude areas but also steadily "elevate" the happiness of the people. This commitment, spanning two "Five-Year Plans," is not marked by grand slogans or flashy "superficial" gimmicks. Instead, it relies on tangible "substance" projects to implement a correct view of political achievements and write a moving chapter of serving the people. In urban development, skyscrapers and tree-lined boulevards are visible "superficial" elements that quickly showcase development achievements and shape the city's image. In contrast, public facilities like pedestrian elevators and convenience passages are the "substance" hidden in the details. Though often understated, they directly impact the safety and quality of life for residents. In reality, some cities are eager to create "landmark名片," prioritizing expansion speed and "quick-fix" achievements while focusing on visible, tangible image projects. This often overlooks the most pressing livelihood needs of the people, leaving urban development lacking warmth and depth. What makes Xining commendable is its emphasis on "long-term effectiveness" over "quick fixes" and its focus on "hidden achievements" rather than "visible accomplishments." Before 2015, most of Xining's 49 existing pedestrian overpasses and underpasses lacked elevators, becoming a "pain point" for residents. Faced with this livelihood challenge, the Xining Municipal Party Committee and Government did not evade or delay. They launched the "Smooth Xining"攻坚行动, mandating that all existing and newly built pedestrian facilities meeting the conditions be equipped with elevators. Additionally, an average of six new立体过街设施 are constructed annually. With the perseverance of "small steps and steady progress," this effort has continued for a decade. The results of this decade-long攻坚 are embedded in every detail, bringing warmth to every resident. For instance, near Qiyi Road in Chengxi District, Xining, an underpass equipped with an elevator allows pedestrians carrying medicine or meals, as well as wheelchair users, to pass orderly, eliminating the inconvenience of climbing slopes. In Shangbinhe Road Community in Chengzhong District, Xining, an overpass quietly safeguards 3,175 residents aged 60 and above, reducing the safety risks of crossing the road. These seemingly minor livelihood matters, though lacking grand声势, genuinely address the worries and concerns of the people, making travel smoother and life more comfortable for高原群众. No livelihood matter is trivial; every detail matters. Over a decade of攻坚, Xining has used 258 pedestrian elevators to "elevate" the steady happiness of its residents. A decade of perseverance诠释了 the初心使命 of serving the people. This demonstrates that the true value of a city lies not in its glossy appearance but in its warm core. The real political achievements of leaders are not measured by响亮的口号 but by扎实的作为. Only by abandoning a短视 mindset, focusing更多 on foundational and long-term "hidden achievements," and exerting efforts inward to strengthen "internal skills" can the organic unity of a city's "superficial" and "substantive" aspects be achieved. Urban development has no endpoint, but as long as we始终 regard the people's "烦心事" as "上心事," listen更多 to their voices, respond更多 to their expectations, and prioritize and implement the "substance" projects they最关心 and最需要, we can continuously "upgrade" their happiness index. This will allow happiness to take root in the streets and alleys, endure through time, and pave a practical path of sustained effort and善作善成.
