Urumqi is experiencing a complex weather pattern of "wind, rain, snow, and temperature drop," with temperatures about to fall below 0°C. The city's heating system is not only facing a "stress test" but has become a "touchstone" for testing the people-centered commitment of departments and enterprises at all levels.
During the six-month heating period, heating temperatures are never just numbers, but rather a yardstick for measuring livelihood work. This care is embedded in multi-faceted advance preparations: comprehensive pipeline maintenance, meticulous preparation of heat source reserves, equipment debugging, efficient response to demands, and year-after-year persistence in protecting people's comfort.
Winter heating involves thousands of households and concerns people's warmth. It is an important livelihood project and a project that touches people's hearts. Whether people's homes are warm is not just a mark on a thermometer, but a test of officials' attitude toward serving the people.
One action is worth more than a dozen programs. "Solutions" are always more convincing than "explanations." There is no "armchair strategizing" in heating security. Only by showing genuine care that "treats citizens as family members" and solving problems that might leave people "cold" well before the harsh winter arrives can we make real warmth carry more weight than any verbal promises.
Maintaining people-centered commitment requires both efforts to improve heating capacity and meticulous service delivery, becoming capable officials who can get things done, and warm-hearted officials who keep citizens in their hearts. This concern needs no superficial formalities - making more visits to residents' homes, asking more questions like "Is the heating warm?" and "What inconveniences do you have?" When encountering difficulties and problems, instead of passing the buck, officials should actively seek solutions and strategies, using concrete actions to address issues that matter to citizens.
Ensuring quality heating requires consistent effort in normal times. This "regular effort" is reflected in a series of proactive measures: Urumqi has been conducting "treating winter problems in summer" since the end of the last heating season, advancing 161 summer heating maintenance and technical renovation projects; implementing energy efficiency improvement projects for existing buildings involving 46,000 households; renovating vertical pipes in some buildings in communities like the Oral Hospital Family Compound and No. 35 Hongqi Road; transitioning from "experience-based" to "data-driven" smart heating; and establishing long-term management mechanisms for key areas targeting communities with concentrated heating complaints. These efforts build a solid foundation for residents' warm winter from the source.
Winter heating is a complex systematic project, with pipelines connecting thousands of households and multiple stakeholders. Breaking through the "last mile" requires multi-departmental coordination: heating companies must promptly adjust parameters, listen to demands, and optimize services; functional departments need to strengthen supervision, optimize coordination, and plan early; design and construction units must strictly control facility reviews, and acceptance departments must implement engineering quality responsibilities; relevant departments should establish long-term mechanisms for old communities to solve problems of exterior wall insulation and aging pipelines; residents should also use heating scientifically, not privately modify facilities or drain water. All parties need to strengthen division of labor and cooperation, focus on key points, and shoulder responsibilities to ensure no link drops the chain.
Heating problems reported by citizens may seem like individual cases, but they actually reflect deep-seated structural common contradictions - complex problems involving mutual influence among heating companies, functional departments, developers, residents, and other stakeholders. Only by gathering collective strength can we ensure citizens have a safe and warm winter.
More importantly, we must build a long-term mechanism of "responding to one demand, solving one type of problem." We cannot be satisfied with "immediate fixes" but must focus on "long-term establishment." Because winter heating is not a one-season effort but an annual livelihood matter, requiring us to break out of "temporary response" thinking and ensure continuous warmth through institutional rigidity.
All districts, counties, units, and departments must always keep the safety and comfort of people of all ethnic groups in their hearts, put themselves in citizens' shoes, proactively solve difficult problems, and respond to concerns in a timely manner. They should find tailored solutions and methods for specific problems, integrating "meticulous, solid, and thorough" throughout the entire work process.
Every step of heating work, from problem response to long-term governance, must closely adhere to "people-centered" principles: solving citizens' urgent concerns through "immediate fixes" with rapid response to warm hearts; and deeply exploring common root causes through "long-term establishment," consolidating results through institutional construction. Only through year-after-year persistence in cultivating people-centered commitment can warmth reach directly to people's hearts.
