China News Service, Tongren, Guizhou, August 29 (Liu Liang) "Before moving here, it usually takes at least two hours to get from home to the county seat, and another two hours from the county to the city, which adds up to almost four. Hours.” Talking about life before the relocation, He Ying, a relocatee from Daheba Town, Sinan County, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, calculated a "time cost account" with reporters.
He Ying said that in the past, the village she lived in was located in the deep mountains, with poor road infrastructure and poor living environment. It was very inconvenient to go out on weekdays. However, the introduction of the relocation policy for poverty alleviation has changed everything.
At present, China's poverty alleviation battle has entered a critical stage of the "second half". As an important measure for poverty alleviation, relocation of poverty alleviation and relocation plays a key role in solving the development dilemma that "one side cannot support the other person".
In September 2018, He Ying's family moved from Daheba Town, Sinan County to Wangjia Community, Wanshan District, Tongren City, Guizhou Province. Since then, they have lived a "urban" life. He Ying said that nowadays, the streets in the community where she lives are clean and spacious, with complete supporting facilities such as schools, hospitals, shops, etc., and life has undergone tremendous changes.
In the Wangjia Garden resettlement site, like He Ying, there were 4,232 households with 18,379 people relocating for poverty alleviation across districts and counties, of which 3,388 households with 15223 people were registered and registered poor households. Most of them are from Sinan, Yinjiang, Shiqian, etc., which are at least more than 100 kilometers away from Wanshan. Many relocated households were faced with the risks of drinking water difficulties and frequent geological disasters, which brought great difficulties to poverty alleviation.
The Wangjia community is an epitome of relocation for poverty alleviation in Guizhou. As one of the main battlefields for China’s poverty alleviation, Guizhou is known for its outstanding karst geological features, “eight mountains, one river, and one field”. Leaving poverty has become an inevitable choice for Guizhou to fight decisively against poverty.
In 2015, Guizhou kicked off the prelude to relocation for poverty alleviation. A series of measures such as centralized urbanization resettlement, preventing people from debts due to relocation, and perfecting the supporting facilities of the resettlement communities have enabled Guizhou to achieve the goal of “moving out” one year ahead of schedule. At the end of last year, as 1.88 million people moved out of the "poor" to enter a new life, Guizhou has also become the province with the largest population of relocated people in China.
"One side cannot support the other, and relocation is an effective way to get rid of poverty." Wang Sangui, Dean of the China Institute of Poverty Alleviation, Renmin University of China, pointed out that relocation and relocation of a group of poverty alleviation is a key measure to implement targeted poverty alleviation and win the battle against poverty It is also one of the important ways to solve the problem of deep poverty. However, relocation is only a means, and the goal is to stabilize poverty alleviation and establish a long-term mechanism for stable poverty alleviation.
At present, Guizhou focuses on “stable living and being able to get rich”, focusing on doing the “second half of the article” on poverty alleviation and relocation, and simultaneously making efforts in employment, education, medical care, social security, and community governance. In the follow-up support, stable employment has been placed in a prominent position.
Relocation of the micro-factory industrial park in Wanshan District, the local government planned in advance with multiple departments such as poverty alleviation and employment, and adopted the method of "government-enterprise linkage" to build the "poverty alleviation micro-factory" in the resettlement site, and compensated for the settlement through office land Preferential policies such as employment subsidies and pre-job training subsidies have introduced labor-intensive enterprises to provide employment opportunities for relocated people.
"The highest salary has been 4,600 yuan (RMB, the same below), and an average of more than 2,000 yuan per month. I work at my doorstep and can bring children. I am very satisfied with my current life." Workers of Tongren Jinghang Clothing Co., Ltd. Ren Tingping works in the local "poverty alleviation micro-factory". She said that although she had earned a lot while working outside, she couldn't take care of her children. Now, from the deep mountain tuwu to the new home in the city, my living environment has been greatly improved, and work and life are much more convenient.
In addition, the Wangjia community has also set up "microfactories" such as the Women's Fairview Workshop and the Alibaba Ai Bean Project to provide job opportunities and free training for relocated households. Local information shows that there are 6,823 laborers in the Wangjia community, 6,695 have been employed, and the employment rate is 98.12%. Among them, 600 people were employed in the community poverty alleviation and micro-factories, ensuring that at least one person in a household with a labor force was employed.
It is worth mentioning that the current poverty alleviation and relocation in various places in China have also achieved remarkable results. According to recent official sources, as of July 31, China's relocation for poverty alleviation and relocation has basically been completed, and various tasks such as the supervision and census of poverty alleviation are progressing in an orderly manner. Wang Sangui suggested that in the second half of the year, we should continue to do a good job in the dynamic monitoring of relocation targets for poverty alleviation, strengthen follow-up industry and employment support, and improve the level of public services in resettlement areas. These are important measures for doing a good job in relocation and stabilizing poverty alleviation.
At present, all parts of Guizhou are also making every effort to build the "five systems" of basic public services, training and employment services, cultural services, community governance, and grassroots party building, and do their best to complete the "second half of the article" on the road to well-off after poverty alleviation.
