Social Governance + Party-Building Innovation to Promote the Civilised Construction in Fengrong Sub-District
In 2013, Zhang Wenge served as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Fengrong Sub-District. He carried out relevant work with focus on strict Party governance and strengthening grassroots organisational construction, effectively promoting social civilisation and harmony.
During this time, he improved the construction of comprehensive governance centres and grid-management service stations in various communities and villages, creating model peaceful and happy villages and towns such as Pudong Demonstration Village for a Moderately Prosperous Society and Xinghua Pan Village, and establishing the Taishan Community Juyuanfudi Star-rated Safe Residential Community. As a result, he was awarded the title of Advanced Worker in the Construction of Civilised Cities in Dalian in 2012 and the title of Advanced Individual for Social Stability.
Attracting a Wide Range of Projects + Multi-Faceted Development: Helping Mopan Sub- District Achieve Poverty Alleviation and Revitalisation
Due to his outstanding achievements, Zhang Wenge was transferred in 2019 by the Pulandian District Committee to serve as the secretary of the Party Working Committee of Mopan Sub-District.
Faced with the actual situation that the sub district is located in a remote mountainous area, has a weak economic foundation, and lacks income sources, Zhang Wenge took a series of measures to attract a wide range of projects, increase tax revenues, and promote employment, thus achieving rural revitalisation.
After two years of unremitting efforts, by 2020, all nine villages in Zhang Wenge's jurisdiction had achieved poverty alleviation, with their collective incomes all reaching more than 50,000 yuan, and among them, the collective incomes of two villages even exceeded 100,000 yuan, completely getting rid of the backward situation of "hollow villages." As a result, he was rated as an Outstanding Official with a Sense of Responsibility in Dalian in 2020 and was awarded a second-class merit.
Deeply Tapping Potential + Improving People's Livelihood: Leading Pikou Sub-District to Achieve New Leaps in Development
In 2021, Zhang Wenge was transferred to serve as secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the People's Congress Working Committee in Pikou Sub-District. In his new position, he took it as his own responsibility to perform his duties and comprehensively promoted the coordinated development of various undertakings in this well-known land-sea hub in southern Liaoning.
Improving Structures + Promoting Projects: Leading State-owned Enterprises to Achieve Leap-forward Development
In August 2022, Zhang Wenge once again faced a major turning point in his life and career. The Pulandian District carried out a market-oriented transformation of government-owned platform companies and established Dalian Liancheng National Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd. After careful consideration, the superior organisation finally entrusted this important task to Zhang Wenge among many candidates. Faced with a new position, new tasks, and new challenges, Zhang Wenge started from scratch and went all out. After more than a year of struggle and hard work, the team led by him has achieved remarkable results in all aspects of work.
In the years to come, Zhang Wenge will always remember the cultivation and teachings of his alma mater, give top priority to the entrustment of the organisation and the interests of the people, and continue to strive hard!
