After founding of the PRC, people's government repealed the original Baojia System, replacing Sub-district Office to strengthen the people's regime and urban administration. The main function of Sub-district Office is management of household registers. The nature, mandate and role were determined by unified form of law of Organizational Act of Urban Sub-district Office. Interrupted by the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, Sub-district Office faces the new situation and problems brought by the economic transition and social transformation, which also make a sort of great changes in the staff composition, institutional settings, and administrational functions.With the economic transition and social transformation, the social life of our city has undergone tremendous changes.
