On the afternoon of February 3, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Huawu Village, Qianxi County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province.

  This survey is very meaningful-

  location:

  Guizhou is the province where the 9 impoverished counties last out of poverty in our country, and the province with the largest number of impoverished people in our country. It is also an area where many ethnic minorities live, and there is not a single ethnic group on the road to poverty alleviation;

  Huawu Village used to be a deeply impoverished village. In 2014, the incidence of poverty was as high as 63.6%. In recent years, the poverty population has been eliminated through the development of planting, breeding and tourism.

  time:

  Historical results have been achieved in the fight against poverty, and the victory of building a well-off society in all respects is in sight;

  The first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan";

  On the eve of the Chinese New Year.

From "visiting the poor" to "planning for rural revitalization"

  In the past, people often referred to sending New Year blessings to people in poverty-stricken areas every New Year's Day as "visiting the poor and asking for suffering."

  Today, the once impoverished areas and poor people have all been lifted out of poverty.

In the same way, the general secretary is going to see the beautiful life created by the people who have been lifted out of poverty with his hands, inspecting the implementation of the requirements of the Party Central Committee to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation, and "stubbornly" promote rural revitalization.

  "Poverty alleviation depends not only on quantity, but also on quality," General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized.

In this inspection, we chose Guizhou, which was finally lifted out of poverty, and General Secretary Xi Jinping came to "check and accept" in person, just to see the actual situation of "True Poverty Alleviation" and "True Poverty Alleviation".

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in more than 80 domestic inspections by General Secretary Xi Jinping, poverty alleviation has always been an important theme.

Each stage of the inspection is aimed at the most urgent tasks, and the focus of the inspection is constantly changing.

  After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in December 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping Ta Xue came to Fuping, Hebei, to see how poor he was and find out the bottom of poverty.

  In November 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Shibadong Village in Hunan Province and proposed for the first time "precise poverty alleviation", and China's poverty alleviation work has entered a new stage of "precision".

  In 2015, on the eve of the Spring Festival, I went back to Liangjiahe, Shaanxi, after 40 years of absence, to visit the villagers, emphasizing that "well-off or not, the key is to look at the villagers" and focus on poverty alleviation in old areas.

Half a year later, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Party changed the expression "poverty alleviation" to "poverty alleviation".

  At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is one of the three major battles to tackle poverty.

After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Yi people in Zhaojue County, the hinterland of Daliang Mountain, and issued a general attack on poverty alleviation in the deeply impoverished areas.

  In 2019, the battle for poverty alleviation entered a decisive stage. The general secretary came to Huaxi Village, Zhongyi Township, Shizhu County, Chongqing, focusing on the implementation of the "two no worries and three guarantees", and pointed out the direction for winning the battle against poverty as scheduled.

  In 2020, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the General Secretary came to Sanjia Village, Qingshui Township, Tengchong City, under the jurisdiction of Baoshan City, Yunnan, and emphasized that "a well-off society must be built in all respects."

  On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, after completing the task of poverty alleviation in the new era as scheduled, the general secretary came to Guizhou.

  The more difficult the poverty alleviation province is, the more it is necessary to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation after poverty alleviation.

The most effective means to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation is to promote rural revitalization. It can be said that the promotion of rural revitalization is an inevitable requirement for the consolidation and expansion of the results of poverty alleviation.

Deliver the "historical shift" signal of the focus of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers"

  At the Central Rural Work Conference in December 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “after the victory in poverty alleviation, we must comprehensively promote rural revitalization. This is a historic shift in the focus of the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers.”

  This is the first time that the central government has formally proposed the "center of gravity" and "historical shift" of the "three rural" work.

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Party made a comprehensive plan for rural revitalization, and it was clear that "the results of poverty alleviation were consolidated and expanded, and the rural revitalization strategy was comprehensively promoted."

More than a month later, the Central Economic Work Conference clearly promoted rural revitalization.

  If the nation is to rejuvenate, the village must be rejuvenated.

To comprehensively build a modern socialist country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the most arduous and arduous tasks still lie in the rural areas, and the broadest and deepest foundation remains in the rural areas.

  At present, my country’s “three rural” work must gradually realize a smooth transition from centralizing resources to support poverty alleviation to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. This is a historic shift in the focus of “three rural” work.

  The depth, breadth, and difficulty of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization are no less than that of poverty alleviation, and we must take the most powerful measures to gather more powerful forces.

  In the poverty alleviation stage, we have explored and summarized the valuable experience of "five-level secretaries grasping poverty alleviation" and social joint efforts to promote tackling difficulties. We must continue to carry forward the work of rural revitalization and strengthen the working mechanism of "five-level secretaries grasping rural rejuvenation".

  This inspection is precisely the re-investigation and deployment of General Secretary Xi Jinping on promoting the shift of the focus of the "three rural" work and the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

How to connect and promote rural revitalization?

  Doing a good job in consolidating and expanding the convergence of the results of poverty alleviation with the promotion of rural revitalization is the "center of gravity" of the future "three rural" work.

  Consolidating the results of poverty alleviation is the priority task of connecting and promoting rural revitalization, and General Secretary Xi Jinping has long deployed--

  When inspecting the rural areas of Chenzhou, Hunan Province last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed, “In continuing to promote rural revitalization, we must continue to select the first secretary in the village, strengthen the construction of grassroots party organizations, and improve the political quality and combat effectiveness of grassroots party organizations.”

  According to central regulations, after the completion of the poverty alleviation goals and tasks, a five-year transition period will be established from the date of poverty alleviation for counties that have escaped poverty.

During the transition period, the overall stability of the main assistance policies should be maintained.

  Winning the battle against poverty is only to solve the problem of absolute poverty, and we must do a good job in consolidating the article on poverty alleviation to prevent the return of poverty due to illness and disaster.

Therefore, the central government has repeatedly emphasized: "If you take off your hat, you will not take off responsibility, the policy that you will not take off your hat, your help will not be taken off your hat, and your supervision will not be taken off your hat."

  The purpose of this inspection by General Secretary Xi Jinping is to promote the implementation of the "four no picks."

  To promote the revitalization of the countryside, General Secretary Xi Jinping had earlier plans--

  In the National Two Sessions in 2018, the Inner Mongolia delegation, the Guangdong delegation, and the Shandong delegation, General Secretary Xi Jinping all systematically explained how to do a good job in rural revitalization:

  Promote the revitalization of rural industries-"to make agriculture a promising industry";

  Promote the revitalization of rural talents-"Let those who are willing to stay in the countryside and build their hometowns to stay at ease, and make those who are willing to go to the countryside and return to the countryside more confident";

  Promote the revitalization of rural culture-"giving up a new atmosphere of rural civilization";

  Promote the revitalization of rural ecology-"Create a beautiful home for farmers to live and work in peace";

  Promote the revitalization of rural organizations-"Ensure that rural society is full of vitality, stability and order".

  Realizing a well-off society is not the end, but a new starting point.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping's visit to Guizhou this time deepened the key tasks previously deployed and further pointed out the direction of my country's "three rural" work in the future.
