Compared with urban residents, rural villagers have a strong local complexity, with the tradition of holding wedding banquets and birthday banquets, and the custom of organizing tedious funerals. However, the sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has turned these customs and traditions into huge safety hazards.
"The wedding date is postponed, and the subsequent holding time will be notified separately. Please forgive me..." In the past few days, under the strong persuasion of the persuasion team composed of leaders of the village town, market station, police station and village cadres, Mr. Yuan, a villager from Xiexi Village, decided to cancel the wedding banquet for his son. Mr. Yuan originally planned to set up 18 tables of wine for his son on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year. Due to the severe epidemic situation, village cadres came to do ideological work and hoped to cancel the wedding banquet. When he first heard this news, Mr. Yuan's family was in a strong sense of resistance. He felt that the good time had been set long ago. He purchased more than half of the ingredients for the wedding banquet. Relatives and friends also notified them, and suddenly cancelled them and couldn't stand it.
persuasion team fully understands Mr. Yuan’s concerns, and patiently explains and introduces the severity and harm of this epidemic. Through many communications, Mr. Yuan finally decided to cancel the wedding banquet and choose another auspicious day to re-shelf after the epidemic has passed, but he also raised the question of how to recover from the aftermath of the food purchased in advance and the scheduled wedding ceremonies. The village leader who worked together immediately communicated with the staff of the marketing office and asked for help from Mr. Yuan to properly handle the follow-up matters. At present, the wedding candy, banquet wine and most of the ingredients that Mr. Yuan has been booked successfully, and the issue of the deposit for wedding ceremonies has also reached a consensus after communication and coordination.
Not only Mr. Yuan’s family, but also Xiexi Village. Cadres at all levels in Gangxi Town and Village are taking active actions!
According to statistics, the 43 planned wine shops surveyed in the town have successfully persuaded 23 households to withdraw a total of 477 tables, including voluntary cancellations. Some farmers have opened the menu and have all been invited to serve one-stop service, but for the sake of overall safety, they still choose to cancel. To borrow the words of a villager, "The ceremony can be held again, and the banquet can be held again. Now is an extraordinary period, and everything is to control the epidemic. To put it bluntly, it is for everyone's good, and in fact it is also for your own good."
Gangxi Town actively calls on the townspeople, influential veteran cadres, old comrades, team leaders, etc. to participate in the establishment of the "rural epidemic prevention alliance" of each village, and find ways to ensure that "wedding, funerals, weddings, etc. are simply or not", with remarkable results. Next, we will continue to strengthen the persuasion of wedding banquets, funeral banquets and wedding banquets in accordance with the latest prevention and control requirements. With the strong support and cooperation of the masses, we are confident of winning this battle against the epidemic!
