In the "Warm New Station" of Haizhou Street, Lianyungang's Haizhou District, delivery rider Xiao Wang returned a borrowed raincoat and skillfully stored his meal in the fridge. "This place isn’t just for charging phones or resting—it even has cold medicine in the first-aid kit and phone stands for watching shows while charging!" His genuine smile lit up the 20-square-meter space, embodying the district’s commitment to serving new employment groups.
In recent years, Haizhou District has focused on addressing the core needs of these workers—workspaces, living areas, and rest stops—by building a "Red Charm · Warm New" service network. This three-tiered system includes industry hubs for guidance, community stations for targeted support, and flexible convenience points, creating a暖心港湾 (warm harbor) for those on the move.
At a livestreaming base, host Xinran praised the station’s tailored services: "When my data underperforms, mentors analyze it and offer advice. Regular skill workshops and peer exchanges help me improve quickly." Catering to diverse needs, the district has established seven industry hubs—from ride-hailing pickup zones at高铁站 (high-speed rail stations) to logistics parks—equipped with EV chargers for drivers, professional gear for streamers, and repair tools or rain gear for couriers.
Services extend beyond work into daily life. At Xinnan Street’s community center, a "Warm New Map" pinpoints 30 service options. "Before, I had to visit multiple offices—now everything’s一站式 (one-stop)!" exclaimed courier Li after a社保 (social security) consultation. Leveraging 146 community hubs, Haizhou integrates司法 (judicial), HR, and other resources to streamline processes, while seasonal initiatives like holiday care packages foster归属感 (belonging).
For family support, 35 summer childcare programs offer supervision and非遗 (intangible cultural heritage) activities. "With kids safe and homework helped, we can work worry-free," shared a ride-hail driver’s wife. Even闲置资源 (idle urban spaces) are repurposed: 41 "Warm Huts" in parks and malls provide microwaves, first-aid kits, and chargers, serving both workers and the public.
Further elevating engagement, four "New Employment-Friendly Streets" offer discounts, while monthly "Red Charm · Couriers" fairs deliver 18 services—from haircuts to health checks—shifting support from basics to value recognition.
This warmth sparks reciprocity: over 1,200 couriers joined volunteer squads, and 100+ became part-time网格员 (community grid managers), reporting issues like road damage during deliveries. Their dual role as "eyes on the street" exemplifies how new employment groups and urban governance are advancing together.
