As the year draws to an end, the festive atmosphere grows ever stronger. The Longquan Municipal Market Regulation Authority has in recent days focused on key consumer sectors including hotels, catering, agricultural markets, supermarkets and shopping malls, carrying out blanket and comprehensive food safety inspections covering 40 batches of samples. From the source of food ingredients to the point of sale, strict checks are implemented at every level and each procedure to safeguard the food safety of “New Year’s Eve dinners” for the Spring Festival.

“We look forward to a lively family reunion dinner for the Spring Festival, and we care most about whether the ingredients are safe. Now markets and restaurants are strictly inspected by authorities, and the whole process from buying groceries to dining out is guaranteed. We can purchase with confidence and eat with peace of mind,” said Ms. Li, a local resident.

The warmth of a city lies in the stability amid thousands of lights, the comfort in daily necessities, and reliable support for people’s urgent difficulties and worries. Since New Year’s Day this year, Longquan has launched a special campaign themed “Practical Actions for the People, Warm Hearts, Listening to Appeals, Resolving Conflicts, Visiting the Needy and Delivering Warmth”. The city has taken concrete and detailed measures to improve people’s wellbeing, safeguarding ordinary life with dedication and responsibility, and warming thousands of households with sincere services.

Visible protection brings people a tangible sense of security. Since New Year’s Day this year, the Longquan Public Security Bureau has carried out regular and high-frequency patrols in densely populated areas such as commercial districts, night markets, transportation hubs, squares, parks and surrounding areas of schools, ensuring a visible security presence across every corner of the jurisdiction. Meanwhile, focusing on key locations including high-risk public security areas, rental housing, internet cafes, KTVs, hotels and guesthouses, the police have comprehensively conducted safety hazard inspections and rectification, carefully verifying the registration of the floating population, achieving full coverage of hazard screening, early detection of risks and prompt handling of emerging issues, building a solid Spring Festival security line with strong protection.

“I have been on peritoneal dialysis for two years, and I owe a lot to the doctors and nurses who have patiently taught me along the way. They keep providing services even as the Spring Festival approaches, which makes me feel greatly reassured,” said a patient from the Nephrology Department of Longquan Municipal People’s Hospital, speaking of the thoughtful medical services.

During the special campaign, multiple medical institutions in Longquan have carried out a variety of medical outreach activities to build a strong health barrier for family reunions during the Spring Festival. Among them, Longquan Municipal People’s Hospital has tailored a series of convenient and beneficial medical services in response to residents’ health needs for the Spring Festival, including customized health check-up packages. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has held a traditional Chinese medicine market focusing on public health concerns. The health system has carried out Spring Festival visits and condolences to special family planning households and follow-ups for mental health patients under its jurisdiction, serving a total of more than 1,118 people, further consolidating the health protection for festive reunions.

The warmth of the city stems from consistent commitment to people’s wellbeing; the beauty of the Spring Festival lies in dedicated care for the people. Adhering to the people-centered development philosophy, Longquan takes the urgent difficulties and worries of the people as the starting point and goal of its work. All departments have coordinated and worked in unison, safeguarding food safety, ensuring public security, protecting health and improving daily life. With practical measures and attentive services, the city has delivered warmth deep into the hearts of the people.
