(Interviews between the two sessions) CPPCC National Committee members: After eradicating poverty, China urgently needs to solve the "old" and "small" problems

  China News Agency, Nanning, May 20 (Reporter Yang Qiang, Huang Lingyan) Qian Xueming, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Political Consultative Conference, said in an exclusive interview with China News Agency that China's comprehensive victory over poverty has now entered the closing stage The most important thing is to prevent slack and prevent landslides. The most important thing is to focus on highlighting problems and improve the quality of poverty alleviation. The focus is on solving the problems of supporting the "left-behind elderly" and the education of "left-behind children" in rural areas.

  The third meeting of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will be held in Beijing on May 21. Qian Xueming, who has long focused on poverty alleviation and reform practice, interviewed and made the aforementioned statement before the meeting. He pointed out that in the post-poverty eradication era, Chinese society needs to pay attention to and actively solve the aforementioned "old" and "small" problems in order to ensure high-quality poverty alleviation results.

  Qian Xueming pointed out that, from the perspective of practical effects, as long as some people in poor families in rural areas of China can go out to work, there is basically no problem in getting rid of poverty. However, it also brought about the problem of supporting the "left-behind elderly" and the education of "left-behind children".

  He said that China implemented large-scale poverty alleviation actions, and many rural families relocated and washed their feet into cities. It is difficult for the elderly to get out of the mountains and integrate into the urban areas, which has become a concern and concern for their children. At present, it is more urgent to solve the problem of old-age care in rural areas, especially in poverty-stricken areas.

  On the other hand, due to the lack of sufficient high-quality teachers, although the quality of rural education in poor areas around the world has improved, it is generally not good. The adult talents of "left-behind children" have also become a major problem. It is still necessary to increase efforts to control dropouts. "Not yet completely cut off. Coupled with the lack of effective policy design and institutional arrangements, the problem of enrolling and educating children of migrant workers from poor families has not yet been completely resolved.

  Qian Xueming believes that Chinese officials must attach great importance to and solve the two problems of "old age and one small age" in rural pension and education in the stage of poverty alleviation and the end of the rural revitalization period.

  He suggested that through the integration of medical and nursing care, the "worry of old age" of rural poor families should be solved. On the basis of the implementation of integrated management of county and rural medical and health services in various regions, accelerate the pace of rural medical and nursing integration. The director of the township health center also serves as the director of the nursing home to alleviate the practical problem of "the hospital cannot provide nursing care, and the nursing home cannot provide medical care." At the same time, through the promotion of rural centralized living and household life, the combination of family self-care, medical and health institution services and social assistance can be combined to meet the needs of elderly care at different levels of rural elderly groups in poor areas for life care, medical services and family care.

  In response to the "adults" and "adults" of "left-behind children" in poor rural areas, Qian Xueming suggested that the "left-behind children's boarding schools" currently being constructed in rural areas be replaced by "boarding schools for migrant children" in small and medium-sized cities. Allow children from poor families to follow their parents to the school where they work, let them enjoy family care and high-quality education resources in the city, completely eliminate the phenomenon of "left-behind children" in rural areas, and completely cut off the "poor roots" of intergenerational transmission.

  Since 2012, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Committee of the China Democratic National Construction Association with Qian Xueming as the chairman has created a model of "rural revitalization" in Dongxin Village, Longan County, Nanning City, exploring the path of industrial poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation and rural pensions, making Dongxin Village deep. The face of poverty has been fundamentally reversed. Starting in 2019, the Guangxi District Committee of the Democratic Construction Association won the support of the Nanjing Aid Foundation and opened a "Parent Canteen" in Dongxin Village to provide free lunch for more than 100 elderly people over the age of 60 in the village to help migrant families solve their parents' retirement. problem.
