Say goodbye to absolute poverty


　　China creates a miracle of poverty reduction for mankind

　　Ma Shengjian said that he seemed to live again.

　　Xitai Village, Chapqia Town, Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, is located in the desert Gobi, and the villager Ma Shengjian has fallen for half his life.

In the past few years, the village has developed a photovoltaic industry, and Ma Shengjian has received dividends and found a job in the industrial park.

　　"I earn more than 3,000 yuan a month. I married a wife last year." Ma Shengjian looked happy.

　　Ma Shengjian finally waved goodbye to poverty.

Soon, China will bid farewell to absolute poverty.

　　By 2020, all the rural poor under the current standards will be lifted out of poverty. This is a solemn promise made by the Communist Party of China to the people of the whole country.

　　On September 22, the Bloomberg News Agency of the United States stated that after the rural poor are lifted out of poverty as scheduled, China's development will usher in another milestone.

　　In the final year of the "13th Five-Year Plan", looking back on the road to poverty alleviation, the whole world has witnessed China's milestones.

　　Poverty is reduced by more than 10 million people every year; more than 9.6 million poor people have completed the relocation of poverty alleviation; the per capita net income of poverty-stricken households nationwide has increased from 3,416 yuan in 2015 to 9,808 yuan in 2019, an average annual increase of 30.2%...

　　In the past few days, looking at the peppers entering the harvest period, Luo Jing always smiled.

　　In the past, Luo Jing lived in Tianba Village, Yulong Town, Weining Yi Hui and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province. The land in the village was barren and the yield of crops was very low.

"All the year round is just busy working." Luo Jing said.

　　In 2017, thanks to the relocation policy for poverty alleviation, Luo Jing moved out of the adobe house and moved into the county.

If you can move it, you must be stable and get rich.

With the support of the county, the relocated people set up cooperatives to develop the vegetable industry and operate vegetable bases.

Luo Jing sold 90,000 yuan for the first crop of vegetables this year.

　　Behind the smiling faces are busy figures.

　　Zhang Hai is a full-time deputy secretary for poverty alleviation selected by the Sichuan Employment Service Administration to Luojiaping Township, Butuo County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture.

In the past three years, he went over the mountains and broke 8 pairs of shoes.

　　In the rainy season, the mountain road collapses; in the dry season, the township has no water; in the winter, the snow and ice break the road... In the mountains more than 1,000 days and nights, Zhang Hai has already adapted to these.

He climbed up the hills and walked into the village all the year round. When he was sleepy, he sat on the ground for a while, hungry, and pulled a few mouthfuls of dry food.

　　The breakthrough Zhang Hai found was poverty alleviation through employment.

Through skill training, the poor households can achieve stable employment.

"Increasing employment is the most effective and direct way to get rid of poverty. In 2018, 1,412 people from 249 poor households in the township achieved poverty alleviation." Zhang Hai said.

　　Zhang Hai said that he is one in 2.9 million.

In recent years, a total of 255,000 working teams in villages have been dispatched across the country, and more than 2.9 million cadres of party and government agencies and state-owned enterprises and institutions at or above the county level have been selected to serve as first secretaries or cadres in poor villages and weak and scattered villages.

　　Employment poverty alleviation, industry poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation... A series of poverty alleviation measures have stimulated the endogenous motivation of the masses, and "I want to be rich" has become "I want to be rich."

　　Liang Lifu, a villager in Xiaochengzi Village, Yindeer Town, Zhalaite Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was a "lazy man" who used to drink all day long.

In 2018, under the guidance of poverty alleviation cadres, Liang Lifu began to try to raise cattle and his days gradually became richer.

After that, Liang Lifu changed completely.

"Now he is diligent, and he can always be seen cleaning in the cowshed." Speaking of Liang Lifu's change, the villagers gave a thumbs up.

　　According to statistics, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, more than 90% of the poverty-stricken people who have filed and registered have received support for industrial poverty alleviation and employment poverty alleviation, and more than two-thirds of poverty alleviated by migrant workers and industrial development, wage income and production and business income The proportion has risen, the proportion of transfer income has declined year by year, and the ability to get rid of poverty steadily improved.

　　Today, poverty alleviation has reached a critical stage of decisive victory.

As of the end of 2019, there are still 52 poor counties in the country that have not taken off their hats. This is the poverty in the poverty, the poverty in the poverty, and the hardest bone to chew.

　　In January of this year, the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council listed 52 uncapped poor counties and 1,113 poor villages.

Recently, the preliminary results of the Supervision War have been announced: as of the end of July, 52 listed Supervision County counties have solved the problems of drinking water safety, housing safety, compulsory education and medical and health protection for 156,000 poor people...

　　After unremitting efforts, China has made decisive achievements in fighting poverty.

Just as important as continuing to tackle tough problems is to prevent a return to poverty.

　　In 2019, Hao Shuling, a villager in Lianghexia Village, Weicheng Town, Wei County, Hebei Province, was diagnosed with gastric cancer and was hospitalized for gastrectomy.

With a cost of more than 130,000 yuan, this not-so-rich family faces the risk of returning to poverty.

　　In times of crisis, Wei County’s anti-poverty mechanism helped a lot.

Some time ago, Hao Shuling received a sum of money-15,498 yuan "anti-poverty insurance assistance."

He didn't expect that after enjoying the reimbursement of medical insurance expenses, he would still get the relief fund. "With this money, my family will no longer wear the hat of a poor household."

　　In October 2017, Wei County reached an agreement with an insurance company to take the lead in launching "precise anti-poverty insurance" in the country.

The county finance has allocated 4 million yuan as the anti-poverty insurance fund to purchase insurance for about 10% of the county's rural low-income population at a premium of 50 yuan per person per year to prevent poverty and return to poverty due to illness, school, and disasters.

　　During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the number of people returning to poverty nationwide has declined year by year.

In order to prevent the poverty alleviation population from returning to poverty and the marginalized population, the State Council's Poverty Alleviation Office has established a monitoring and assistance mechanism for preventing return to poverty.

　　Eliminating poverty is the common mission of mankind.

China’s poverty reduction programs and achievements have been universally recognized by the international community.

　　UN Secretary-General Guterres stated that the targeted poverty alleviation strategy is the only way to help the poor and achieve the ambitious goals set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China's experience can provide useful lessons for other developing countries.
