Chapter 652 Cremation
In the division of labor of the municipal government, Vice Mayor Jiang Xia is in charge of civil affairs and family planning work, and the newly promoted Vice Mayor Zhuo Shaowen is in charge of agriculture, forestry, water and energy.
Therefore, Zhang Wending came to the city government to report to the leaders, just to find these two deputy mayors. Of course, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and the secretary to the deputy mayor who correspond to the deputy mayor must have a good relationship.
Zhuo Shaowen was not in the office today, Zhang Wending visited Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia's department is not the kind of person who is very powerful and powerful, but she is a lesbian, and her status in the city government is relatively detached.
The top leaders of the district and county governments below make an appointment in advance, and she will basically give a face-saving meeting, but the deputy officials of the district and county governments are not very easy to report to her office. As for the leaders of the departments in charge of the city to report to her, it depends on the specific work situation and the closeness of the relationship.
Before Zhang Wending went to the city government, he naturally called Jiang Xia to make an appointment, and Jiang Xia also gave him face and agreed to see him.
However, when he came to Jiang Xia's office in the afternoon, he found that Vice Mayor Jiang's market was quite good, and there were still three people waiting to be received by Vice Mayor Jiang.
This phenomenon is really rare.
After Zhang Wending arrived in Anqing, he had already gone to the city government to report to Jiang Xia twice in person, and both times, he went in directly after arriving through Jiang Xia's secretary Liu Hong, and did not encounter a situation where there were still a few people waiting in front of him like now - when did even the deputy mayor in charge of family planning work become so prosperous?
Of the three, two of them he didn't know, but the other was no stranger to him.
Because that person is Wang Changlong, director of the Municipal Population and Family Planning Commission, and the family planning work in Anqing County is also carried out under the leadership of the Municipal Family Planning Commission, Zhang Wending, as the county leader in charge of family planning work in Anqing, is of course impossible not to deal with the Municipal Family Planning Commission.
It is said that the Family Planning Commission and the Health Bureau have merged, but it is not that they have not been merged yet.
Among the three people waiting, Wang Changlong was the first, and after greeting Zhang Wending and shaking hands, he smiled and said that County Magistrate Zhang must have an important work report when he came all the way over, and asked Zhang Wending to wait and cut the queue to go first.
Zhang Wending thanked him very politely, and said with a smile that family planning is a basic national policy, and no matter how important his work is, it cannot be ranked in front of family planning work.
When Wang Changlong and Zhang Wending talked like this, the other two did not interject, but their faces were still a little unhappy. It's just that even if you're unhappy, you can't quarrel here - didn't you react when you saw Secretary Liu?
Everyone will say beautiful words, Zhang Wending is still in the last place, but the relationship with Wang Changlong seems to be a little closer because of this meeting.
In fact, Wang Changlong and Zhang Wending both know that when they report to the leader in the same unit, they can push and give in if they encounter a queue, but this kind of situation is not the same unit, and it is useless to push each other - the leader's secretary must tell whoever to go in can get in!
Wang Changlong reported on family planning work, and Zhang Wending reported on civil affairs work plus family planning work, with the focus on civil affairs work. Anqing withdrew from the county to establish a city, and the promotion of cremation was ...... There's still a certain amount of difficulty.
Zhang Wending reported such a situation, the Anqing County Civil Affairs Bureau reported such a plan to the county government, that is, to divide a hill on the outskirts of the county, specially used as a cemetery, and the current county funeral home cemetery management model is roughly equivalent, but there are also certain differences, this difference is that the people buried on this new mountain, in principle, the body should be cremated, the situation is special, after the application for approval, the traditional burial method can be used - this, can also be regarded as a reform attempt of funeral work.
It's a nice way to put it, but what it really means is to build a new cemetery for people to bury! When the time comes, it is guaranteed that all the people buried here are in special circumstances, and they can all use the traditional burial method!
The funeral is a very important part of the civil affairs department.
Cremation is common in big cities, but in small cities, especially in county towns, cremation is common, but there are also a large number of people who adopt traditional burials. No matter what Zhang Wending personally thinks about this work, anyway, he is in charge of this, so he has to start from the work.
Now Anqing's funeral situation is like this, cremation and burial are available, but mainly burials, even in the county.
The burial is to ask Mr. Yin and Yang to find a piece of land in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, if it is his own, he can directly use it as a cemetery, if it is someone else's, then spend money to buy it, and wait until there is an old man in the family to drive the crane, then blow and blow to make a dojo and bury it.
Choosing burial, this is also a tradition of "the dead are great, and the earth is safe", and many people think that after the elders are gone, the body should be kept intact as much as possible. On the other hand, money is also a very important issue.
Taking the average family as an example, this burial, even if everything is done, the cost is several times less than in the funeral home. In today's society, life is quite stressful, and it is a little bit to be able to save a little.
For ordinary people, this cost is saved, but for the funeral home, it is a large amount of income and can only watch it flow away from hand, unable to cut off a star, this feeling, is really hard to say.
In fact, the county issued a cremation document many years ago, and this document was even sent to all towns and villages, and the village committee of each village also posted the notice, saying what would happen if there was no cremation, but no matter how strict the document was, someone had to implement it!
This document, not to mention that it does not work in the countryside, even many cadres in the county town did not take it seriously, and the resistance was quite serious, so it was not closed later.
The progress of cremation work can no longer be described as slow, but extremely slow!
The progress of cremation work is slow, this leader knows that even in the urban area of Suijiang City, there are still many people who choose burial, and the city is also turning a blind eye, and no one will take this seriously.
But now that Anqing County has reported such a plan and made the matter of burial clear, Jiang Xia's brows furrowed, her face was not very good, and she looked at Zhang Wending and said: "Comrade Zhang Wending, if you have difficulties in your work, you can find a way to overcome them, but you can't drive backwards!" ”
Jiang Xia's tone of voice was still relatively gentle, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she characterized this plan as a reversal, which also showed that she was indeed quite angry at this time.
If he wasn't angry, even if Vice Mayor Jiang was dissatisfied with Zhang Wending and wanted to knock and knock, he wouldn't have determined it first!
