"Due to the limited dishes, each table only saves nearly 100 yuan in food expenses." Huang, president of Zhaotan Town Red and White Directors Association, said that the "food restriction order" was supported by the villagers. In February this year, Mr. Cheng of Zhaotan Town hosted a birthday banquet for his grandson. "I am such a grandson. I want to give him a wedding reception when I am one year old. " Mr. Cheng said that his family's conditions were ok, and he wanted to make the banquet decent, so he contacted Huang and asked Huang to hold a wedding reception for their family.
"Huang told me that the conditions at home are good, and in line with the principle of saving, bring a good start and hold a banquet." Mr. Cheng said that under Huang's persuasion, he gave up his original idea. "The wedding reception was a great success." Mr. Cheng said that the guests were not unhappy because the dishes were reduced, but felt that it was worth learning. Mr. Cheng emphasized that he was born in a bitter family and put aside appearances such as "face". Frugality is more in line with his true psychology.
The banquet was extravagant and wasteful.
"In the past, the specifications of villagers' banquets were generally high and the waste was serious." Said to Huang. According to Huang's account, he began to undertake mobile banquets from 20 1 1, and he deeply understood the extravagance and waste of weddings and funerals. For a banquet of 10 people, there are more than 20 or even 30 dishes alone, which is an amazing waste.
"During the Spring Festival, sometimes there are three or four restaurants a day, which can't be eaten at all. Many leftovers are thrown away, causing great waste. " Huang said: At the same time, the wind of comparison spread. Some villagers owe a lot of money for their children's marriage. "The gift money received is not enough for the wedding banquet."
Therefore, Huang proposed to curb the psychology of "loving face and suffering". He felt that an organization should be set up to persuade villagers to change their old ideas. So Huang started to build the Red and White Directors Association last year. With the support of dongzhi county Civil Affairs Bureau and Zhaotan Town Government, Zhaotan Town Red and White Directors Association was formally established at the beginning of this year.
New fashion delivers positive energy.
In order to implement the "food restriction order", Zhaotan Town requires all villages to register weddings, funerals and weddings, forming a working mechanism of greeting beforehand, tracking during the event and summing up afterwards. At the same time, the suggestion of "food restriction order" was sent to farmers, making the "food restriction order" a household name. These practices have effectively curbed the trend of weddings, funerals and weddings.
During the interview, some villagers also expressed their concerns to reporters: the specifications of the banquet declined and they were a little unaccustomed. In the past, other people's homes did well, and their specifications should not be too low. In this regard, Huang said that this is not something that can be done in one day. The new fashion needs party member cadres to lead, demonstrate and guide a good social atmosphere.
The reporter learned that there are also a few people who do not listen to advice and insist on doing big things. "The Red and White Directors Association is just a non-governmental organization. We just encourage this frugality and propose initiatives to the villagers, but we have no right to force others. " Huang said that people who don't listen to advice and are particularly extravagant will directly refuse to hold such a banquet.
This netizen's point of view
Some netizens asked: So many tubes. What is the nature of this association? Where does the cost come from? It is said that the anti-corruption tiger turned to the village banquet. This is really a wonderful country. How do the villagers spend their own money? It's none of your business. Tigers are greedy for public funds, and a country can't distinguish private rights from public rights.
Some netizens also think that this matter is slightly better. Since we advocate it, what about the document? Are you also confused between administration and initiative? It is a public right to punish administrative violations, and it is a private right to advocate that illegal acts are not punished. It is because we are always confused that there are so many wonderful works.
