Through the photo exhibition, video materials and lively reunion dinner set up on the spot, the reporter felt the great changes in the lives of the residents in the area and their joy on their faces.
Xingjiaqiao Community is one of the earliest development and construction areas in the whole Liangjiang New Area. The community resettlement house was built in 1992, and it is a multi-storey brick-concrete structure commercial and residential building. Due to the early development and construction, it is obviously difficult to compare the planning layout, housing standards and materials used in the resettlement housing area with those in the modern community. In addition, after more than 20 years of baptism, the area has changed from a "new village" that everyone yearns for to an old old street.

"There are poor supporting facilities, poor security, poor municipal foundation, poor sanitary environment and poor living conditions. The poor living environment makes residents strongly hope to change the status quo." Xie Lan, secretary of the Party Committee of Xingjiaqiao Community, who has been rooted in the community for 17 years, said that 465 of the 488 houses leaked to varying degrees, and the walls and roofs of the living room and bedroom fell off; Cover the bed with film to keep out dust during the day, and lift it at night to sleep. From time to time, large pieces of dust and sand fall off the roof, which makes you sleepy. Cooking and cooking in the kitchen often leaves dust, adding some "seasoning" to the dishes; Don’t even dare to go to the toilet for a while, or you’ll have to take an umbrella and wear a straw hat. These are the true portrayal of residents’ life before the renovation of old houses.
All this is due to a policy that ushered in a "turning point"-in 2017, the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government included the renovation and upgrading of old residential areas in the urban upgrading action plan, and Xingjiaqiao community was included in the comprehensive renovation scope, involving 488 sets of resettlement houses, 91 facades and 1,422 people. The Management Committee of the Party Working Committee of Liangjiang New Area decided to renovate the area with the concept of urban repair and ecological restoration and the principles of safety, functionality, practicality, appreciation and economy.
At the end of 2018, the pilot building of Xingjiaqiao Community Comprehensive Improvement Project started. In March 2019, the comprehensive improvement project was officially launched.
It is worth mentioning that in the process of promoting the renovation of Xingjiaqiao’s old house, Xie Lan and his team worked with the spirit of "5+2" and "white+black", and reversed the residents’ attitude by organizing residents’ meetings, visiting door to door, customizing the plan for one household and decorating the model room. After being diagnosed with lung cancer, Xie Lan insisted on working despite illness, and won with tenacity, ingenuity, strength and enthusiasm.
On January 13th, 2020, Ms. Luo, the last resident who signed the resettlement house renovation project in Xingjiaqiao Community, Renhe Street, Liangjiang New District, came to the community office to sign the consent form for the renovation. It marks that the consent rate of Xingjiaqiao community home improvement project has reached 100%.
According to reports, the renovated Xingjiaqiao community will enjoy a five-story community service center, add about 800 parking spaces and build a new community park of 4,000 square meters to provide residents with a safe, convenient, comfortable and livable living environment.
Braised pork with plum vegetables, round brown sugar dumplings symbolizing family reunion, and roast duck with special characteristics indicating the future prosperity … At the scene, residents of Xingjiaqiao community sat together, sipping delicious dishes and toasting each other, and the laughter and blessings merged together, and the delicious dishes conveyed friendship and were filled with happiness and warmth.
"The renovation has not been completed yet, and we can’t relax. We will start a new task tomorrow. I want to thank the residents for their trust and support. In the future, I will, as always, stick to my original heart and always stand with the residents to contribute my modest strength to the bright future of Xingjiaqiao. " Xie Lan said.
