站在世界的舞臺(tái)上，特區(qū)發(fā)祥地充分展現(xiàn)城區(qū)之美、人文之美，文明之花遍地綻放。在全國(guó)最美志愿服務(wù)社區(qū)——金安社區(qū)，曾登上央視的吳秀丹、陳麗英等明星黨員志愿者，正帶領(lǐng)更多人加入服務(wù)群眾的行動(dòng)中，為廈門會(huì)晤出力添彩。在更多的地方，“全國(guó)文明家庭”獲得者游文晃、“全國(guó)助人為樂(lè)身邊好人”趙亞娟等一批榜樣模范，擔(dān)當(dāng)起弘揚(yáng)社會(huì)主義核心價(jià)值觀的代言人，向全社會(huì)播撒滿滿正能量。

改革進(jìn)行時(shí)——每一步，都需精心布局；每一步，都需謀定后動(dòng)；每一步，都需抓鐵有痕。借力廈門會(huì)晤這個(gè)重大歷史機(jī)遇，踐行創(chuàng)新、協(xié)調(diào)、綠色、開(kāi)放、共享五大發(fā)展理念的廈門，正向世界提交改革創(chuàng)新的“中國(guó)樣本”，而特區(qū)發(fā)祥地湖里注定將成為最精彩的篇章之一。愛(ài)拼敢贏、銳意進(jìn)取的湖里區(qū)，將以更自信、更拼搏、更創(chuàng)新的姿態(tài)與行動(dòng)，為全面深化改革作出新貢獻(xiàn)。
