“Last year alone, I earned five to six thousand yuan by selling vegetables like chili peppers, bitter gourds and eggplants—all thanks to the ‘Mobile Convenience & Common Prosperity Vehicles’! I can increase my income without even leaving the village, and life is getting more promising every day.” Recently, the elderly Pan Shengfu from Shapu Village, Chongtou Town, Yunhe County, counted his income over the past year with a big smile on his face. More than 10 other elderly villagers in the village have also benefited from these mobile services.
Mountainous areas account for 88.42% of Lishui’s total area. The city has a rural registered population of 1.759 million, with nearly 400,000 residents living in scattered, inaccessible mountainous regions. Problems such as inconvenience in production and daily life, weak public resources and inadequate service coverage are prominent.
How can urban and rural residents in different regions enjoy basically the same living standards and quality of life? Guided by the Party building co-construction mechanism, Lishui has promoted the iterative optimization of the mobile public service system in mountainous areas. A key initiative has been to standardize 1,484 service vehicles—including “Mobile Supply and Marketing Prosperity Vehicles” and “Love Meal Assistance Vehicles”—and integrate them into a unified fleet known as the “Mobile Convenience & Common Prosperity Vehicles”.
The “Mobile Convenience & Common Prosperity Vehicles” feature uniformly designed and standardized logos. In addition to supplying daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil and salt, they also offer services including express delivery collection, traditional Chinese medicine delivery, free haircuts for the elderly, and even on-demand transport assistance with a simple wave of the hand. A village cadre joked, “These days, these vehicles run more frequently than my own son.”
The key to the success of these mobile services lies in their “precision in movement and smoothness in operation”. In the past, such services often faced the awkward situation of “enthusiastic cadres but unresponsive villagers” or “services delivered that no one needed”. Now, villagers can simply make a phone call or click a button to “order” the services they require.
Liandu District has launched the 96345 Mountain Area Mobile “Ten-Assistance” Public Service Platform, enabling one-click access to ten categories of services such as home appliance maintenance and policy consultation. In Songyang County, centralized distribution centers are linked with village-level meal assistance stations to ensure that two hot meals a day are delivered to elderly residents on time. This closed-loop mechanism of “villager orders, platform assignment, and door-to-door service” has transformed public services from a “broad-brush approach” to “targeted precision delivery”.
Supporting the efficient operation of this entire system is a hub platform for mobile public services, built around rural Party-mass service centers in Lishui. The platform integrates services by listing mobile service items, assembling volunteer teams, and optimizing specialized service functions.
“Since 2025, 101 Party-mass service centers have upgraded their service capabilities in both software and hardware through minor renovations,” said a relevant person in charge of the Lishui Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. By leveraging the coordinating role of rural Party organizations, information such as mobile service programs, schedules, routes and contact persons is publicized through village affairs bulletin boards and bus stops. Tailor-made service facilities such as free laundry rooms and free barbershops have been set up based on local conditions, effectively expanding the “fixed + mobile” service model. Since 2024, these services have benefited over 800,000 residents in mountainous areas.
The term “common prosperity” is the ultimate goal of this mobile service chain. It is not just about delivering a few kilograms of vegetables or repairing a few lamps; it is more about activating the endogenous driving force of mountainous rural areas. For example, Yunhe County has established 5 “Inside and Outside the Mountains” Common Prosperity Service Stations and put 76 “Mobile Convenience & Common Prosperity Vehicles” into operation, achieving full coverage of all 69 administrative villages in the county. These vehicles have provided over 200,000 warm meal services, assisted in selling agricultural products worth 29.4 million yuan, and helped increase per capita income by more than 10,000 yuan.
Wherever the “Mobile Convenience & Common Prosperity Vehicles” go, they deliver not only goods and materials but also opportunities. Many young people who have returned to their hometowns said, “Seeing that services in our hometown are becoming more and more convenient gives us the confidence to come back and start our own businesses.” These vehicles have become the outposts of “Common Prosperity Workshops” and the capillaries facilitating the two-way flow of urban-rural factors.
As fleets of “Mobile Convenience & Common Prosperity Vehicles” cruise through the mountains of Lishui, they carry the simple warmth of daily necessities and the reassuring sense of security for the elderly. As the villagers often say, “Wherever these vehicles go, happiness follows.”
