retiring from Guangzhou to create a successful text Party Secretary, Zhang Guangzhou media still chasing hold, from the city “two sessions” block to the province “two sessions.”

the media has always been exceptionally tolerant Zhang, eventually fail to beat you. So, with this in a dialogue —

19 afternoon, the one in the provincial office, the Standing Committee of Guangdong Provincial and Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhang original chatted with reporters for a whole three hours . Conversation in bit by bit, all in Guangzhou tell — he has fought for this city for 40 years, dearly.

Zhang grew up in Guangzhou, the city’s pragmatic personality, already penetrated his bone marrow. Between words, as always, he was not rhetoric.

However, looking back nearly 90 years he ruled the course of Guangzhou — the fight against SARS, and withstood the test of snow and ice hazards, ranked among the “GDP trillion club”, the city became pale, the best organized in history Asian Games, the highest cultural success … Which is not only a “vigorous” can describe.

Zhang said his most regrettable thing is the next two years, can no longer serve the people of Guangzhou. He is now the most wanted people in Guangzhou, said that: “Thanks!”

because the flood of success, the people of Guangzhou Zhang affectionately known as “Guangzhou smart kid.”

19 days, Zhang was an interview, just to talk about flood control and governance environment, about a half hour, still made still time to do.

looking beads water clarity, river Yang Bo, Guangzhou, people will think, that has jumped into the lead six times the vigorous figure of the Pearl River; Guangzhou people will remember, there was a “Guangzhou smart kid,” as flood control efforts pay unlimited.

water edge

Pearl River water brought up I had the opportunity to set governance

Correspondent: You have said many times, the city of Guangzhou due to water and health, because water-hing. Why you are so important and Guangzhou Water Environment?

Zhang: “six pulse Jietong sea, Castle Peak and a half into the city”, which is the poetry of the ancients depicted in Guangzhou.

I grew up grew up in Pearl River, Pearl River one day seeing the clear black stink, very sad. I went to see the river when Ishii said: do not buy the ink, the direct use of river water can write a.

Pearl River raising me. I will have the opportunity to control the Pearl River.

fundamental needs of the people this is not the needs of the Asian Games

Correspondent: At that time there is any water management difficult?

Zhang: lack of awareness is a problem, was also well aware that flood control can not be contiguous, the system to do it, or a single rule on the creek creek; Another big problem is money, Guangzhou From 1998 to actively promote flood control, but mainly by financial investment, capital is very scarce; addition, is the management system, long years of water management in Guangzhou, functions dispersed, seriously hampered the progress of flood control.

great determination and flood control, urban development itself needs is people and not the leaders and not the Asian Games needs.

Guangzhou, flood control has favorable factors. Day — second half of 2008 financial crisis, central increased investment, investment and financing platform for the city of Guangzhou was established, water alone is not enough to finance. Location — Asian Games in Guangzhou. — And the public on the creek has been looking forward to clearer, better living environment.

innovation

change the “Kowloon flood”

innovative investment and financing platform

Reporter: Many people think such a short time, certainly able to fulfill so many tasks.

Zhang: We can say that the flood control project time, particularly pressing, especially heavy, difficult financing, land acquisition and resettlement difficult. In accordance with conventional practice, to fully complete the task on time is not possible, the need for reform and innovation. Do not even want no reform. Innovation and reform and have only be possible to complete the task.

Correspondent: how innovation?

Zhang: First, reform and innovation management system. Municipal government in the first half of 2008 established Municipal Water Authority, the formation of “a sector-led, multi-sectoral cooperation,” the management of the new pattern of fundamental change in the past, “Kowloon flood” of the situation; also integrate water and wastewater companies and other enterprises, in second half of 2008 established the Guangzhou Water Investment Group.

Second, reform and innovation, investment and financing platform. Guangzhou Water Investment Group to give water to carry out investment and financing and project construction, operation, management functions, the formation of government-led, enterprise participation and market operation of the investment and financing mode. Guangzhou Water Investment Group was established soon after the successful financing of 35 billion yuan of funds to effectively address the flood problem.

third is decentralization. From the original to the main city of a department to ten districts, counties and the City Water Investment Group, a total of 13 main responsibility. Used to be a force in the move, after reform, the power is 13 or even more power linkage, how things can be pulled.

the enthusiastic support of the public record flood side miracle

Reporter: Guangzhou, the largest flood control emboldened where?

Zhang: the enthusiastic support of the general public, is to create the greatest miracle of Guangzhou flood emboldened. Some people move away because of flood control and generation of long-term or even a place to live, they make a great contribution and sacrifice, without their understanding and support, Guangzhou, flood control, must not succeed.

Reporter: Guangzhou, flood control in the end to bring?

Zhang: Now, we have successfully completed “almost impossible” task of flood control, the Pearl River water per day to reduce the vertical 1.038 million tons, the downtown sewage treatment rate reached 90%, from the water quality of Pearl River in Guangzhou Ⅳ Ⅴ class to class standards, part of the river flow period to Ⅲ standard, East Ho Chung, Lai Chi Wan Chung transform the urban landscape of new business cards, had the most black and most foul river has become clear Ishii, Guangzhou, significant improvements in overall water , demonstrates the Guangzhou Lingnan Aqua, Aura enriched the city.

Some people believe that the municipal government invested so much money on urban development, including flood control is not worth it. In my opinion, able to create a good living environment for the people, for the sustainable development of the city to add momentum to the development of space maneuvers for future generations is worth it.

In fact, all these years, the Guangzhou urban construction project, to engage in “change” project is an opportunity to focus also by Asian “ancestral accounts” and stay “descendants food.” Guangzhou, the city phoenix, improve people’s happiness.

If we had not to engage in flood control, not to engage in face of the urban environment improvement, can not achieve the requirements of the Asian Games do not speak, then that kind of environment, people can adapt to the public on environmental quality is now high demand? Did not engage in, and now come out, but also have so good opportunity to solve this problem by Guangzhou finance it? Now or never.

” do not rush to buy a house. ” commitment has been fulfilled

Correspondent: compared to other cities, Guangzhou has been not high prices, price control measures more effective, however, house prices in early 2007, your remarks about the community there is a certain time misreading.

Zhang: At that time, the media dubbed me “oath taken up the banner of lower prices.” Later, no matter how interpreted, seems to have no effect.

be honest, this is not you want to carry the flag, can not carry the problem, but the government’s responsibility. Now a market economy, the government can not directly intervene in housing prices, but does not mean that in the face of rising house prices are not rational government can do nothing, which is not responsible for the mass public.

Reporter: Many cities are driven by the real estate economy, why you did not do so?

Zhang: When several major investment projects, no real estate projects. I do not agree with the real estate driven economy, it is only a tiger, a place on being paid up.

control the environment the most important, if the municipal government pursuit of immediate profit, it can only land. East Ho Chung said, to build the original building, now the red special factory had also intends to build real estate, municipal government, after all, resisted, the marginal line of the Pearl River are not high-rise. We want to leave future generations, leaving future generations a certain development.

Reporter: You said, “Do not rush to buy a house in the low-income people,” what happened?

It can also be said we had to remind low-income people do not rush to buy a house in an honor. I did.

2007, the country during the two sessions, a “low-income people not to rush to buy a house,” Zhang was pushed to the cusp of public opinion. He said that, in accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, the Guangzhou municipal government will go all out to put price pressure down, “if you want to buy a house in the low-income people, do not worry, I think the prices will definitely come down.”

Quotations:

2008 年 Zhang Yangcheng Evening News interview, said, “from beginning to end, I have no regrets because I have a clear conscience, I was right the people responsible.”

insist on listening to people face to face demands

Reporters: March 30, 2003, the former Mayor of Guangzhou, the first day, your lunch from the mayor hotline “operator.” 2005, you take the lead in advocating for public reception of visitors every month is set to 23 days; June 26, 2008, you also create a national precedent, change petition for the next visit, and eight deputy mayor and ten thousand officers and government staff to carry out a large reception of visitors. Why do you so insist on face to face?

Zhang: by phone, through letters, sometimes not as good as in person face to face, to listen to the demands, so city leaders closer relationship with the public. Internet is a liberating way, but many people have underlying aspirations, not on the network, which also requires face to face.

2003 reflects the years I remember most is liberating Demolition, evicted almost 10 million people now! Then we want a lot of ways to solve; 2004 and 2005 complaints are more law and order problem, get rid the problem. So we increased the order of the remediation. Later is the housing problem.

affectionate quotations:

my roots on ordinary people’s homes in Guangzhou, Guangzhou plans developed for the public well-being, doing their humble, long-cherished wish is my life, and greatest pursuit.

Correspondent: In recent years, what do you most proud of?

Zhang: Of course it is successful in organizing a wonderful Games. This is most proud of the people of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, it is so “overnight success”, which greatly enhance the city’s image and international influence.

Reporter: So what do you most regret?

Zhang: how do you say? Unfortunately most general may run into the year, less for the Guangzhou public service for two years. According to the party’s leading cadres of the normal working life, I can do in Guangzhou to 60 years of age. Last year just general, because “at sixes and sevens” in general the age requirements, I can not continue working in Guangzhou. Do not want, has served as vice mayor, the mayor, party secretary, threw himself to the public masses for 15 years, and the masses of people have forged a deep friendship, and of deep feelings cherish the city, is also very familiar with this city, understanding of the city, from the emotionally that I am willing to continue to serve the people of Guangzhou, Guangzhou Development, mostly to do something, I have great confidence to build a better city of Guangzhou.

“to the media as a mirror, one can know the pros and cons”

it was early summer night in Guangzhou, he was smiling to “Yangcheng new Eight “selected release ceremony, telling the world” Thank Yangcheng Evening News Group sponsored contest; thanks for the support activities of the community; thank friends and compatriots at home and abroad to vote. ”

Reporter: You had praised the new Guangzhou Eight contest, do you think from what angle the media can also promote the beauty of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, how can you look at the relationship between the government and the media?

Zhang: I deal with the Guangzhou media also took 15 years, Guangzhou media left me a very deep impression on a few key points in time have given strong support. Such as SARS in 2003. Recall that each time are not easy, the media has given us strong support. I am sincerely grateful, I’m not saying kind words. Ice storm, the middle of the night, and media reporters have been followed; the 2010 Asian Games held in our success, but “wonderful” to the media. Guangzhou media propaganda is different, but doing the best is the “Yangcheng Evening News” and “Eight new selection of Guangzhou.” Media monitoring, I think it is very necessary. I change the words: “the media as a mirror, one can know the pros and cons.”
