Every morning at 5 a.m., Aunt liu of jingxiang community gets up and starts preparing breakfast for her family. Aunt liu's family comes from Zibo,Shangdong Province. Since 2013, she has been shuttled back and forth between Zibo and Zhangjiagang, because her 90-year-old mother live in Zibo city and her own family live in Zhangjiagang city.She didn't feel life is hard because she likes zhangjiagang so much. She said the environment here is better than zibo, the air is good, the water is good, the city is clean, especially suitable for living.

Yes, the environment is good, the air is good, the river is clean, suitable for living,it is many outsiders' first & the deepest impression to zhangjiagang. Zhangjiagang, a county-level city located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze river, has  mild climate, distinct seasons, abundant rain,and 6,033 channels of different sizes rivers and harbors,total length 4,477.3 kilometers.

Today(July.1st) is the day that grandkids sign up for kindergarten and primary school. The two kids are both studying in zhangjiagang public school, enjoying the educational resources of the city. Aunt liu thinks it is really a happy thing for the children study and grow up here. 3 years ago, in order to solve the problem of the granddaughter go to kindergarten, they started the new citizen application and buy a house here, then the granddaughter can enjoy the same treatment as the children of local citizens in the public kindergarten.

Education and medical care are two of the most important concerns of outsiders. In 2012, zhangjiagang took the lead in introducing the new citizen score management in Jiangsu Province. In this regard, the People's Daily published an article pointed out that zhangjiagang new citizen score management model is worth learning.It has following advantages:1.After new citizens pre-application on WeChat account"zhangjiagang new citizens affairs center",New citizens can apply education and medical care with their new citizen score. 2.New citizens' children can apply for hospital care with their new citizen score after enrollment, and apply for citizen CARDS to enjoy the treatment of the city. 3.Workers can apply for a citizen card after paying insurance for three months.What's more, zhangjiagang's new citizen card can also rent public bicycles, take buses, borrow library books, and pay public utility fees.

In 2017, the old mother left aunt liu peacefully. Perhaps for the love of zhangjiagang, perhaps for the love of children, aunt liu gave up everything in her hometown and came to zhangjiagang with her husband, taking the initiative to shoulder the family life and let her daughter-in-law return to the society. Cooking, washing and cleaning, aunt liu became the most practical and warm presence of this pure migrant family. She called herself the "Breeder" of the whole family.

Zhangjiagang is indeed a very livable city and people like the slow peace of life here.Every time aunt liu take the bus with her little grandson, the driver will quietly wait for them to sit down before starting. When crossing the street, cars would stop and wait for them to pass, which made aunt liu feel very warm. Every time aunt liu see the publicity photo of the police at the gate of the community and the patrol car passing by the roadside, she feel very safe and steadfast.The city buses running on the road, police billboards standing in the roadside, and a neighborhood greeting chat, these small details make aunt liu, a stranger, feel that a city for its residents considerate.

Now, liu's family only hopes that zhangjiagang high-speed railway station can be built and used as soon as possible, and the shanghai-nantong yangtze river bridge can be opened to traffic as soon as possible. In this way, it will be more convenient for the family to return hometown. And zhangjiagang will also welcome more foreigners like aunt liu to witness the warmth of the city.
