These triumphant news came from the three major battlefields in the year when the rural human settlement environment was closed.

  Recently, the 2019 National Rural Habitat Environment Improvement Monitoring Report was released, and Zhejiang Province ranked first with a score of 96.39 points.

  It is understood that this monitoring is carried out by a third-party agency entrusted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. It is conducted in three ways: field visits, questionnaire surveys and household surveys. The survey involves rural domestic garbage treatment, rural domestic sewage treatment, rural toilet renovation, agricultural production Six key tasks include the utilization of waste resources, the improvement of village appearances, the improvement of construction and the management and protection mechanism. Improving the rural living environment and building beautiful and livable villages is an important task in implementing the rural revitalization strategy. It is related to the comprehensive construction of a well-off society, the well-being of farmers, and the harmony and harmony of rural society.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the in-depth advancement of the construction of beautiful villages, rural scrolls with prosperous industries, ecological livability, rural civilization, effective governance, and affluent living have slowly spread on the motherland. What is the beautiful village of ecological livability in the new era? Let us walk into the beautiful villages and feel the new changes in the rural living environment under the rural revitalization strategy.

  15 years of long-term contribution to the "tens of millions of projects" to the whole country

  Every morning, Shen Xiaotu, a sanitation worker in Lishan Village, Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, came to the door of the local villagers to collect kitchen waste on time. After weighing the trash can, he recorded the data on the "point card" and exchanged 1 point for every 1 kg. You can exchange a piece of soap and a toothbrush at the “Garbage Sorting Charity Supermarket” in the village with the points card.

  "In the past, these people took out all kinds of garbage, all together, nylon bags, wine bottles, lead wire." Shen Xiaotu said, "Now most people are very clean, the dumped is pure garbage." Like Shen Xiaotu Seeing that the environment in the village is getting better day by day, the villagers have consciously become the protectors of the environment.

  This daily behavior of ordinary Zhejiang people is one of the achievements of the province's "thousand village demonstration, ten thousand village remediation" project (hereinafter referred to as "tens of millions of projects"). Locals remember that on September 27, 2018, this project won the "Encouragement and Action Award" in the United Nations' highest environmental honor-"Earth Guardian".

  The "Ten Million Project", which started in 2003, had an early start, accurate direction, practical measures and good results. After 15 years of hard work and advancement at various levels in Zhejiang Province, after achieving one stage goal, it rushed to another new goal, the momentum continued unabated, and finally created thousands of beautiful villages.

  On October 5, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important instruction-Zhejiang's "Ten Million Project" started early, has the right direction, and achieved good results. It not only has a demonstration role for the whole country, but also has been recognized internationally. It is necessary to sum up experience in depth, guide and urge all regions to continue to work towards the established goals, work for a long time, and constantly write a new chapter in the construction of beautiful China.

  In early 2019, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council forwarded the report of the Central Agricultural Office, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Development and Reform Commission on in-depth study of Zhejiang's "thousand village demonstration, ten thousand village remediation" project experience and solid promotion of rural human settlement environment remediation work ", and issued a notice requesting all localities and departments to seriously implement it in light of reality.

  What changes has the "Million Project" brought to the rural living environment? At this point, the people have the most say. Qiao Liqin, a villager in Lujia Village, Anji County, Huzhou City, said about the changes in the rural areas of Zhejiang: "I am a housewife. In the past, I used to carry heavy sewage buckets and walked far away. Now the pipe network is connected to my home. , I no longer have to pour sewage, and the village has become more beautiful. Thanks to the'Ten Millions Project' to make our lives happier."

  Let the bonsai change the scenery "toilet revolution" has policy support

  Since the old pit of "a wooden bucket and two boards" was upgraded to a squat toilet, the grandson of Yao Benhong in Xiangxi, Hunan, no longer excludes returning from the county to the village for the winter and summer vacations. In Hunan, like Yao Benhong’s family, it is a common phenomenon that clean flush toilets replace pungent dung pits, and this has also become the epitome of the effectiveness of the “toilet revolution” in rural areas across the country.

  The small toilet is related to the people's livelihood. General Secretary Xi Jinping was very concerned about the rural toilet improvement and made several important instructions. He repeatedly emphasized that as the pace of agricultural modernization is accelerating, the construction of new rural areas must also be continuously promoted, and a "toilet revolution" is needed to allow rural people to use hygienic toilets.

  So, how can this be rectified? During the two sessions last year, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Han Changfu answered. In the "Minister's Passage", a reporter asked Wang Qiaoli, a farmer in Laiyang, Shandong Province, to the minister: I saw the toilets in other villages well built during my New Year's visit with relatives. Is there any support policy for rural toilet renovation? What measures will the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs take in the future to promote the "toilet revolution"?

  This is a very important question. One of the characteristics of the large gap between urban and rural areas is that the rural living environment needs to be improved. The situation of "garbage depends on wind and sewage relies on evaporation" affects farmers' sense of gain and happiness.

  Han Changfu said: "This year we will promote 30,000 villages across the country, roughly 10 million farmers, to achieve toilet improvement. The central government plans to allocate 7 billion yuan to support this work. There are two other issues related to rural garbage and sewage, which need to be established. Garbage collection and transportation and sewage treatment system."

  The reporter learned that the village cleaning operation was launched last year, and the work of cleaning up old garbage, cleaning up ditches and ponds in the village, cleaning up livestock and poultry manure and other agricultural wastes is on the table.

  According to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, as of the end of last year, 90% of the country’s villages have carried out cleaning operations, and the domestic waste collection and transportation system covers 84% ​​of the administrative villages. Nearly 30% of the household household sewage is under control, and the phenomenon of sewage discharge is obvious. Decrease, a large number of villages, village appearances and village appearances have significantly improved.

  One of the inspirations brought to people by the "Ten Million Projects" is to work for a long time. The difficulty of the "toilet revolution" lies in changing the habits of rural China for thousands of years. It is necessary to work year after year, from point to point, to turn bonsai into landscape.

  Realizing "Clear Water Around Others" and Enhancing Villagers' Environmental Protection Awareness

  "In the past, the sewage in the village relied on natural evaporation. Now with the laying of the sewage pipeline in the village and the construction and use of large-scale ecological sewage treatment tanks, the sewage has an'outlet', and there is no smell of sewage in the village." In Hebei Province According to Lu Zhensheng, secretary of the Party branch of Tiantaishan Village in Handan City, the change comes from the use of large-scale ecological sewage treatment tanks. The daily sewage treatment capacity reaches 500 tons, which can centrally treat the sewage of Tiantaishan Village and the surrounding two villages.

  Domestic sewage treatment is one of the key tasks for the improvement of rural human settlement environment, and it is also a hard task that must be completed to fully build a well-off society. This is a "difficult bone".

  In early July last year, nine ministries and commissions such as the Office of the Central Rural Work Leading Group launched the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting Rural Domestic Sewage Treatment”, stating that “rural domestic sewage treatment is still a prominent shortcoming of the rural residential environment, facing ideological understanding and capital investment Problems such as not being in place, unbalanced work progress, and inadequate management and protection mechanisms." It is proposed to adopt the construction mode and treatment process combining pollution control and resource utilization, engineering measures and ecological measures, and centralized and decentralized measures according to local conditions.

  Under the top-level design, Beijing, Zhejiang, Liaoning and other parts of the country have successively issued policies to promote village and town sewage treatment.

  In Jiande City, Zhejiang Province, the local explored a high-concentration wastewater treatment path, realized the resource utilization of turning wastewater into "fertilized water", and also tried to implement the rural sewage "discharge permit" system, exploring a project for rural life in the province. A new way to "reduce" the sewage treatment.

  In Shandong, the local government promotes the "construction and operation integration, regional contiguous treatment" sewage treatment model, and gradually realizes the integration of the construction and operation of the village and town diving management projects in the county; at the same time, it explores the construction of decentralized small sewage treatment equipment. Currently, 90% of townships and towns in Shandong Province have sewage treatment facilities, and 24.5% of domestic sewage in formed villages are treated. According to the plan, more than 50% of village domestic sewage is treated this year.

  In the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the first pollutant discharge standard for rural domestic sewage treatment facilities has been implemented since April 1. The standard takes strict measures to ensure the normal operation of pollution prevention and control facilities, and stipulates the discharge control requirements of domestic sewage treatment facilities in rural pastoral areas, which is intended to change the situation of cross-flow and random discharge of sewage in rural pastoral areas.

  If the improvement of the rural human settlement environment is the "first battle" for the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the village appearance, sewage treatment, and toilet revolution are undoubtedly the three separate battlefields, and the success or failure of the three is the key to the implementation of the rural settlement environmental improvement. . Fortunately, part of the answer sheet has already been handed in from now on.

  2020 is the last year of the "Three-year Action Plan for Rural Habitat Environment Improvement". According to the goal, this year we will "achieve a significant improvement in the rural human settlement environment, the village environment is basically clean, neat and orderly, and the villagers' environmental and health awareness is generally enhanced." Time is tight, the task is heavy, and we can wait and see whether localities can complete the task with quality and quantity. Our reporter Wang Yanbin
