China News Service, 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 CPPCC of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said in an exclusive interview with reporters from China News that China is now in the final stage of overcoming poverty 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 Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will be held in Beijing on May 21st. Qian Xueming, who has long focused on poverty alleviation and reform practice, called for this year's proposal: After the era of poverty alleviation, Chinese society needs to pay attention to and actively resolve the aforementioned Problems and "small" problems can guarantee high-quality poverty alleviation results.
Qian Xueming said in an interview that, from the perspective of practical results, 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 pointed out 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 poor areas than in urban areas. Once many rural families have elderly people who need to be cared for, their children often cannot go out to work. Working couples are often forced to separate because of this, and the family is very expensive.

Allowing children in poor areas to receive good education is an important task of poverty alleviation and development, and an important way to stop the intergenerational transmission of poverty. However, in the survey, Qian Xueming found that due to the lack of sufficient high-quality teachers, although the quality of rural education in poor areas in various regions has improved, it is generally not good. The adult talents of "left-behind children" are still a big problem. , "The poor root" has not been 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.
Since 2012, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Committee, chaired by Qian Xueming, has been actively exploring the path of industrial poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation and rural elder care in Dongxin Village, Longan County, Nanning City. It has fundamentally reversed the face of deep poverty in Dongxin Village. Starting from 2019, the Guangxi District Committee of the Democratic Construction Association has also sought the support of the Nanjing Aid Foundation to open a "Parents' Canteen" in Dongxin Village to provide free lunches for more than 100 elderly people over the age of 60 in the village to help migrant families solve the problem. The problem of parental pensions helps poor families go out to work to increase their income.
Qian Xueming suggested that through the integration of medical and nursing care, the "worry of the elderly" in rural poor families should be resolved. That is, on the basis of realizing the "integrated management of rural medical and health services in counties and villages", the pace of rural medical and nursing integration is accelerated, and the director of the township health center is also 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 "adult" and "professional" problems of "left-behind children" in poor rural areas, Qian Xueming suggested that starting from the junior high school stage should be the starting point and ending point to further improve the quality of compulsory education in poor areas. For towns and villages that have the ability to run junior high schools, the construction of boarding schools should be strengthened to improve the quality of their teaching management. For the townships that do not yet have the conditions, it is recommended to concentrate the compulsory education at the junior high school level in the county town as much as possible, and give certain transportation and living expenses subsidies to reduce the burden on the poor families.
Qian Xueming also proposed that the "boarding school for left-behind children" currently constructed in rural areas could be changed to a "boarding school for migrant children" in small and medium-sized cities, so that children from poor families can follow their parents to the school where they are working. Enjoy family care and high-quality education resources in the city, completely eliminate the phenomenon of "left-behind children" in rural areas, and then completely cut off the "poor roots" of intergenerational transmission.
