The morning light was faintly dew, the sea breeze was blowing, a golden light came with the call of seagulls, and more than ten thousand fishing houses swayed gently on the thousands of hectares of blue waves, and the sea was sparkling.
Fujian Ningde Sanduao, known as the "Venice of the Orient", wakes up from their sleep. The fishermen living in this picturesque "floating city on the sea" wake up early to cultivate the sea and fish.
"There are no good harbors in the world, and the deep bay is like Tianhu."
This is the upgraded fishing raft breeding area in Sandu'ao waters, Ningde City, Fujian Province, taken on June 3, 2020
On the sea, there is a modern "maritime community" with all kinds of streets, street numbers, clinics, pubs, supermarkets, and police stations, full of voices and excitement; under the sea, there are fishing net cages that stretch for dozens of square kilometers. The country's largest large yellow croaker breeding base "swim" with fishery resources worth billions of dollars.
"The taste of thousands of fish is not as good as the golden yellow croaker." Ningde is well-known as the "Hometown of Large Yellow Croaker in China".
But what is less known is that from the hard-to-buy and endangered "national fish" to the realization of artificial breeding and "swimming" on the people's table, behind the legendary story of large yellow croaker is Xi Jinping's sincere heart and solidarity for the private sector. The wisdom of governance of the thought of precise poverty alleviation.
From June 1988 to April 1990, Xi Jinping served as secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Committee of Fujian Province.
At that time, Ningde was commonly known as the "Old Nine in East Fujian", ranking the last in the province in terms of economic aggregate, and 6 out of 9 counties were impoverished counties.
It is in such an underdeveloped area on the southeast coast where "the old and the young are poor on the islands". Xi Jinping, who has just turned 35, started with in-depth investigation and measured the mountains and mountains here.
In September 1988, after visiting the nine counties in eastern Fujian, Xi Jinping re-organized the dialectics of "mountain" and "sea".
In view of the regional characteristics and resource advantages of Fujian’s "Eight Mountains, One River and One Field", he proposed "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and singing the folk songs, relying on the sea to eat the sea and the sea classics", to stabilize the grain, catch the mountains, the sea and the land together, and develop township enterprises and agriculture. , Forestry, Animal Husbandry, Afforestation, and Fishery are all developed
On August 10, 1988, Xi Jinping investigated the industry in Xiapu County.
(From the book "Eliminating Poverty")
Chen Zengguang, then deputy secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Committee, had a deep feeling when he walked down one county after another with Xi Jinping.
He still remembers such a dialogue with Secretary Xi when he visited Xiapu County:
"You can help me find a book of Funing Mansion."
"Secretary Xi, we have been running around so hard all day long, and you have to stay up all night to read, can you eat it?"
"Comrade Zengguang, it is not enough for us to look at the situation and listen to reports like this. We also need to look at history. The best expression of a county’s history is the county chronicle, and the official chronicle is more comprehensive. It contains both positive and negative characters. We You can know what happened in this place at a glance, and you can learn from it."
It is in this "Funing Mansion Chronicles" that Xi Jinping learned that there is a piece of Guanjingyang that is rich in large yellow croaker in Xiapu Sandu'ao waters. The folk proverb calls it "Guanjingyang, half-year grain", which is a veritable land of fish and rice.
If the common people do a good job of breeding in this area, it is equivalent to taking half a year of food.
Xi Jinping urged the local cadres: "This is a very important resource in East Fujian. It is necessary to protect it, but also to promote the development of the maritime economy represented by the aquaculture industry, so that the people will become rich."
At that time, the fishermen of Ningde did not understand artificial breeding and relied on overfishing for a long time, which caused a serious depletion of wild large yellow croaker resources.
When Xi Jinping discovered that the large yellow croaker industry had great potential to be tapped, he incorporated large yellow croaker breeding and breeding into the "Spark Plan" (the first plan to promote rural economic development through science and technology approved by the Party Central Committee and the State Council in the 1980s). Among them, experts who are familiar with the marine industry are specially organized to study and solve the problem of artificial breeding of large yellow croaker.
In 1990, scientific researchers overcame key technologies and realized the mass breeding of large yellow croaker with a scale of one million tails, which opened the first in Ningde to fully cultivate large yellow croaker.
The resulting large yellow croaker breeding industry has become a major way for the people in Eastern Fujian to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Industry flourishes, all industries flourish.
"Industrial poverty alleviation is the most direct and effective method, and it is also a long-term solution to enhance the hematopoietic function of poor areas and help the people find jobs on the spot."
More than 30 years ago, industrial poverty alleviation opened up the horizon of Mindong based on local conditions; more than 30 years later, industrial poverty alleviation became one of the most dynamic poverty alleviation models in my country.
"A leaf enriches the people" Anji white tea came out of Zhejiang and took root in the three provinces and four counties of Xiangchuan, Guizhou, and four counties. It continued the story of "the east helps the west, the rich first brings the rich".
"Small fungus, big industry" Tussah fungus has become a lever for Shaanxi mountain villages to get rid of poverty and become rich, giving the poor and closed mountain villages a new look.
On May 11, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the Huanghua Industry-related product display at the skills training service station in Fangcheng New Village, Xiping Town, Yunzhou District, Datong City, Shanxi Province.
Known as the "flower for getting rich", Yunzhou Huanghua has embarked on the road of standardized and large-scale planting, and it has become a good way for farmers in Shanxi to get rich.
…………
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, more and more attention has been paid to poverty alleviation by industry.
In the “five batches” of the “five batches” of poverty alleviation projects laid out by the central government, industrial poverty alleviation ranks first.
In recent years, more than 980,000 poverty alleviation industrial projects have been implemented across the country, and more than 100,000 poverty alleviation industrial bases have been built.
The development of poverty alleviation industries in many impoverished villages has achieved a historic leap from nothing to something.
Xi Jinping once wrote in the book "Eliminating Poverty": "For poverty alleviation, a huge project that requires the efforts of several generations, my efforts are short-lived and have little merit."
For more than 30 years, "drip water pierces rocks" and "weak birds fly first", Mindong has become a new face.
When the net cages pulled up by Sandu's large yellow croaker breeding base showed a golden harvest under the lights at night, "getting out of poverty" has become a movement of the times written on the land of eastern Fujian.
In 2020, my country will make decisive achievements in building a well-off society in an all-round way, and the results of poverty alleviation have attracted worldwide attention.
"Let the people live a good life is the starting point and end of all our work." Alleviating poverty is only the first step, and a better life is yet to come.
