Dialectical Analysis of 'Sweet Worries'
2025-08-14
Nowadays, urban life has added "greenery" and a sense of contrast. Citizens in some cities experience it more directly. Recently, Shanghai residents often hear cicadas chirping, with some seeing it as the background sound of the city, while others complain about the noise it brings. People walk under trees, feces come from the sky. "Near the intersection of Jingwu Road and Weiyi Road in Zhengzhou, Henan, night herons build nests in trees, which are popular among the masses. However, they are occasionally" attacked "by bird feces, which also adds some distress. In a residential area in Wuxi, Jiangsu, a hedgehog has emerged from the grass in the green belt. How should we deal with this "little one" who may be infected with parasites? Someone suggested, 'Let it find its own way home' and 'Don't disturb it'. Summer cicadas, night herons, hedgehogs... When cities have more natural creatures, although some are happy and some are frowning, it also indicates that the ecology is improving, which is a "sweet worry". At the same time, it should be noted that cities leave a larger space for natural ecology, accommodating the chirping of cicadas, while also taking into account multiple feelings, which leaves room for improvement in governance. Let's take a look at the practices of Caojiadu Street in Jing'an District, Shanghai. There is a small community in the jurisdiction with a high greening rate and abundant trees, which used to be the selling point. However, the tall trees have turned green and also blocked the lighting and ventilation for lower level residents. How to balance "green" and "light"? Professional survey, formulation of plans, solicitation of opinions, precise pruning... The street takes the initiative, and the entire process involves scientific argumentation, professional support, and joint governance and negotiation. Not limited to solving a pain point in a residential area, the local authorities have also released Shanghai's first street level tree repair guidelines, providing a reference for tree cover management. Only by taking practical actions to actively solve problems from solving "one thing" to handling "one type of thing" well, can we find a new path of governance amidst "troubles". As the demand for a better life becomes increasingly diversified, "sweet troubles" will still arise, and understanding and resolving conflicts becomes a breakthrough point to open up the work situation. According to the time, place, and situation, improve the ability of "creative transformation" so that "sweet troubles" will not really make people angry. For example, household waste. In the past, with the acceleration of development and the improvement of living standards, garbage was also increasing, and villages were once surrounded and besieged. In recent years, thanks to garbage classification and technological advancements, "misplaced resources" have found a good home. In Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, garbage is dumped into the storage warehouse of Beikong Environment, a renewable energy company, and green transformation is achieved through incineration. There is a 'smart brain' in the workshop that can real-time regulate parameters such as smoke emission indicators; The incinerated slag is used for the production of building materials; The generated waste heat is used to generate electricity... achieving a "reversal" of household waste from landfill to full chain regeneration. Transforming thinking and empowering technology, "waste" can become "treasure", and "baggage" hides "wealth". Being adept at leveraging opportunities and adept at transformation is a reflection of promoting circular economy, low-carbon development, and achieving comprehensive green transformation. Another example is urban renewal. Unutilized open spaces in cities, such as corners, under elevated bridges, or sunken squares, if not renovated and updated, not only result in resource waste, but also easily breed hidden dangers. As long as it is space, it is useful, the key is to put in enough 'embroidery skills'. In Guangzhou, Guangdong, the space under the bridge of Liede Bridge Linjiang Avenue has built a riverside jogging path post station full of Lingnan cultural charm, and arranged Loong Boat cultural sculptures, which facilitates public leisure and adds cultural color. When the space under the bridge becomes a unique paradise, and when the idle space becomes a vibrant field, people will not wander around, but instead have more physical and mental rest areas. Changing perspectives and innovative methods will lead to more distinctive development and more activation and transformation. Snow can affect travel and even cause snow disasters, but from a different perspective, snow scenery nurtures prospects, ice and snow drive the economy, and developing the ice and snow can naturally give birth to mountains of gold and silver. Balancing the relationship between humans and nature, balancing the relationship between development and security, opening up horizons and ideas, better transforming resource advantages into development advantages, new vitality is emerging, and the future space is infinite.
