Recently, the completion ceremony for the renovation of a basketball court belonging to an armed police force unit stationed in Liwan District was successfully held. After two months of upgrading and reconstruction, the aging basketball court, once plagued by damaged flooring and inadequate lighting, has been fully renovated and upgraded: a standard plastic surface ensures sports safety, brand-new basketball hoops enhance the user experience, and a night lighting system meets the all-weather sports needs of officers and soldiers, creating a safe, comfortable and fully functional cultural and sports activity space for them. The delivery of this people-benefiting practical project is not only a vivid practice of Liwan District in implementing the dual-list mechanism of the military and local governments putting forward mutual demands and delivering practical services for each other, but also a vivid testimony to the in-depth advancement of the double support work. It further confirms that all 126 items on the 2025 Double Support Work List have been fully implemented with tangible effects, marking that the new dual support positions for military-civilian co-construction and sharing have been injected with fresh vitality.
The atmosphere at the completion ceremony was simple yet warm. Representatives of the military forces stationed in the district, responsible persons of the District Bureau of Veterans Affairs and Shiweitang Subdistrict jointly inspected the project outcomes and held discussions on the subsequent operation and maintenance of the list projects. Leaders of the military unit spoke highly of the work, stating that: “The ‘Double Support Work List’ of Liwan District is pragmatic and innovative with proactive actions, embodying a profound sincere feeling of supporting the military. Ranging from the renovation of camp facilities to the protection of the rights and interests of military families, every item accurately meets the needs of officers and soldiers. The pragmatic work style of the local government, which ensures ‘every request receives a response and every matter sees a resolution’, fills us with warmth and great encouragement.” The person in charge of the District Bureau of Veterans Affairs noted that the renovation of the basketball court is just an epitome of the implementation of the 126-item list. The full effectiveness of the list is inseparable from the holistic coordination mindset, with all departments making concerted efforts and all subdistricts carrying out precise implementation, which has effectively strengthened the systematicness, integrity and coordination of the double support work.
This 126-item work list, covering multiple fields including dual support co-construction, military support and service guarantee, is a pragmatic achievement forged by Liwan District through pooling wisdom and collective efforts. To further carry forward the glorious tradition of double support work and continuously consolidate and develop military-civilian unity, Liwan District has proactively adapted to the new situation, tasks and requirements of double support work in the new era, solved practical difficulties through institutional innovation, and taken the lead in launching the 2025 126-item Double Support Work List across the whole city, driving the double support work to leap from “fragmented management” to “district-wide overall planning”. In the process of formulating the list, the district adhered to the principles of demand-oriented development, vertical and horizontal coordination, and thorough deliberation. It conducted in-depth visits and research among the stationed military forces, veterans and entitled groups, extensively solicited opinions and suggestions, and sorted out and formulated the list by focusing on key and difficult work points, thus enabling all member units of the district’s double support leading group and subdistricts to have clear goals and directions for their work. The newly completed basketball court renovation project is a typical case where the list addresses the pressing difficulties and urgent demands of the military forces. During the demand survey phase, the appeal of “outdated cultural and sports facilities and insufficient sports space” was prioritized and included in the category of “practical services for the military”. Led by the District Double Support Office, coordinated by Shiweitang Subdistrict and supported by the military unit, the project was efficiently delivered through a work plan featuring “clear responsibilities, division of labor and coordination, and closed-loop advancement”.
It is learned that all 126 items on the list have been fully implemented as scheduled, benefiting various groups including the stationed military forces, veterans and entitled groups. Among them, the 48 projects of “practical services for the military” cover not only basic guarantees such as the renewal of water and electricity pipelines in military camps, employment connection for military families, and green channels for the admission of military children to schools, but also characteristic services including “bringing science and technology to military camps”, “providing legal services to military camps” and “delivering medical care to military camps”. The 35 projects of “military-civilian co-construction” boast numerous highlights, including distinctive brands such as the “Spark Model Family” and “One Mountain One Sea”, as well as the activity of “bringing military culture into communities”. The 23 projects of “popularizing national defense education” cover diverse forms such as military experience courses in primary and secondary schools, veteran lecture sessions in communities and red research practice activities. The 20 projects of “veteran services” focus on the whole-chain needs such as employment skills training, legal aid, difficulty assistance and pension preferential treatment, truly making the double support work more warm-hearted and down-to-earth.
Moving forward, Liwan District will continue to deepen the list-based management mechanism, summarize the practical experience of 2025, and drive the double support work to further evolve from “solving difficulties” to “cultivating brands”. With more precise services and more solid measures, it will continue to consolidate the sound momentum of military-civilian unity and contribute Liwan’s strength to the high-quality development of double support work in the new era.
