In the past few days, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on “resolutely stop food waste and earnestly cultivate the habit of saving” have continued to screen the entire network.

　　In the news broadcast by Xinhua News Agency, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made several instructions on food security issues and the social ethos of “practical economy and opposing waste”. Instructions on materials.

　　People still remember it. Seven years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave instructions in a Xinhua News Agency's "Netizens' Call for Curbing "Tongue Waste" in the Catering Link."

　　It can be seen from the two public reports that the background and entry points of the general secretary's instructions are different, but the requirements for "strict economy and oppose waste" are consistent and continue to advance in depth.

　　The 2013 directive has a big background, that is, not long after the eight central regulations were issued. In the instructions, the general secretary emphasized the prominent problem of "public funds waste."

　　The notice issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on January 20 that year also pointed out that this is a new requirement for thoroughly implementing the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Party and the eight central regulations.

　　It can be said that in the general secretary's mind, to make "strict economy and opposing waste" become a common practice in the whole society, we must first seize the "key minority", starting from the leading cadres of party members and from curbing the waste of public funds.

　　This is completely consistent with the theory, logic, and practice of the Party Central Committee’s strict governance of the Party after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

　　After years of persevering and vigorously implementing the spirit of the eight central regulations, the public's strong complaints about waste of public funds have been effectively curbed.

　　Party style and political style continued to improve, and social atmosphere improved accordingly.

　　In response to this, Xinhua News Agency's news two days ago also responded. It is worth noting that what the news said was that "the phenomenon of'tip of waste' has changed." The words are not full, seek truth from facts.

　　When the masses reported that the waste of public funds and catering was effectively curbed, this time, General Secretary Xi Jinping set his sights on the next step in the longer term.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his instructions: “The impact of the global new crown pneumonia epidemic this year has sounded the alarm for us.” In this special context, saving food is not only a matter of fashion and virtue, but also a matter of people’s lives. Happiness and long-term stability in the country.

　　"Despite the bumper harvest of our country's grain production, we must always have a sense of crisis for food security..." The words of the general secretary reflected a clear problem orientation and bottom line thinking. As he once pointed out: "On the food issue, we can't get lucky or toss. Once a major problem occurs, we will be passive for many years, and no one will be able to save us by then."

　　Some people may ask, my country’s grain production has been harvested year after year, and food is no longer a problem. Is it important to save grain?

　　Of course, China cannot afford to be extravagant, nor can it waste.

　　"Who knows that Chinese food on a plate is hard work." General Secretary Xi Jinping quoted ancient poems, saying that every grain of grain is hard-earned.

　　Xi Jinping, who has gone through poor days and walked through the years of "hungry and hungry", has an unforgettable experience in cherishing food.

　　At the Central Rural Work Conference, he once talked about this: According to media reports, there are often white-flowered steamed buns and rice in the trash can of a university canteen. The cleaners looked at heartache and picked them up before eating. The general secretary warned everyone earnestly, "Even if life gets better day by day, there is no right to waste!".

　　So, what should we do next? The general secretary put forward requirements from two levels.

　　One is to "establish a long-term mechanism."

　　Since 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued instructions many times, highlighting rigid system constraints, strict system implementation, strong supervision and inspection, and severe punishment mechanisms...

　　This time it further emphasized, “We must strengthen legislation, strengthen supervision, take effective measures, establish long-term mechanisms, and resolutely stop food waste.” This is a fundamental law for food waste from a higher level.

　　The second is "strengthening publicity and education."

　　Regarding the waste on the dining table, General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out that it is related to the bad habits of talking about face and pomp in society.

　　This time it is particularly demanded that "we must further strengthen publicity and education, effectively cultivate the habit of saving, and create an atmosphere of shame in waste and pride in saving in the whole society". The purpose is to make a new reform in the food concept of the whole society and regain "thrifty". Feelings, establish the new concept of "grain is a kind of scarce resource" of loving and saving food, and make saving food a permanent habit and trend.

　　One porridge and one meal is hard to come by, and the material resources of perseverance are difficult.

　　Conserving food seems to be a small part of daily life, but whether the national consciousness of saving can be established and the mode of food production can be transformed, which contains the concept of modern civilization, and it is related to whether the goal of national modernization development can be achieved.

　　"Diligence and thrift are our heirlooms, and we can't throw them away at any time." Whether the Chinese can take care of their jobs well, start with cherishing Chinese food.
