The 4th issue of "Seeking Truth" published on February 16 published an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping, "Speech when Investigating Poverty Alleviation and Development Work in Fuping County, Hebei Province".
The time is marked under the title, "December 29th, 30th, 2012", bringing people's thoughts back to the cold winter eight years ago.
On December 29, 2012, on the eve of New Year's Day, General Secretary Xi Jinping braved the severe cold of minus ten degrees Celsius and came to Fuping County, which is located in the depths of the Taihang Mountains, to visit and sympathize with the needy people and inspect poverty alleviation and development work.
Traveled more than 700 kilometers back and forth, visited two poor villages, and held two symposiums-this is the first research activity on the theme of poverty alleviation by General Secretary Xi Jinping after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In a sense, General Secretary Xi Jinping's trip to Fuping opened the prelude to the largest and most powerful fight against poverty in human history.
"The play must start from the prologue." Although "the prologue is not yet the climax," the importance is beyond doubt.
We can see many very important "golden sentences" from this article by General Secretary Xi Jinping.
In the past eight years, under the guidance of these words, we have worked hard in the right direction and finally completed the mission of poverty alleviation in the new era as scheduled.
As the years witness, these words are too important.
"Without a well-off society in rural areas, especially in poor areas, there will be no comprehensive well-off society."
The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the grand goal of building a well-off society in all respects by 2020.
At that time, the solution to the people’s food and clothing problems and the people’s living standards of a well-off society in general had been achieved, especially in some eastern regions, which had announced that they would achieve a well-off society in an all-round way. However, in the vast rural areas, especially the poor rural areas in the central and western regions, there was still a considerable gap between fully building a well-off society. .
The average will mask the gap.
When investigating in Fuping, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out this problem.
Eliminating poverty, improving people's livelihood, and achieving common prosperity are essential requirements of socialism.
Only when an all-round well-off society in the rural areas and in the old revolutionary base areas and poverty-stricken areas have been achieved can an all-round well-off society be fully developed.
"Without a well-off society in rural areas, especially in poverty-stricken areas, there will be no comprehensive well-off society." This sentence declares the party's purpose and focuses on solving unbalanced and insufficient development.
In this regard, there is a very simple sentence in the article that interprets it particularly well-"It is the low-income people who really want to help."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has insisted that the people are supreme and people-oriented, and has taken the impoverished people and people of all ethnic groups across the country into a well-off society and live a good life together as the starting point and goal of poverty alleviation.
Over the past eight years, the goal has remained the same, and the bullseye has not moved.
In the past eight years, during the inspection trips, General Secretary Xi Jinping has urged that as long as there is a family, a household, or even a single person who has not solved the basic life problems, we cannot rest assured; as long as the people’s vision of a happy life has not become a reality, we We must unswervingly unite and lead the masses to fight together.
In the past eight years, at the symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping warned that all rural poor people under the current standards will be lifted out of poverty by 2020. This is a solemn promise made by the Party Central Committee to the people of the whole country. It must be fulfilled as scheduled, without any retreat or flexibility.
In the past eight years, the income level of the poor has increased substantially, and the "two no worries and three guarantees" have been fully realized.
Over the past eight years, the appearance of poverty-stricken areas has completely changed, and economic and social development has accelerated significantly.
Over the past eight years, the quantitative indicators for poverty alleviation have been completed day by day, and the people's actual living conditions and sense of reality have also been gradually improved.
"As long as there is confidence, loess becomes gold."
"Despite poor natural conditions, backward infrastructure, and low level of development, poor areas also have their own favorable conditions and advantages." When discussing poverty alleviation ideas with everyone, General Secretary Xi Jinping made many in-depth analyses on local resource endowments. This sentence "As long as there is confidence, loess becomes gold".
General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Fuping to help the people come up with ideas and countermeasures, but what is more important is to pass on the confidence to change the outlook of poverty and backwardness.
After General Secretary Xi Jinping finished his investigation, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency interviewed Gu Wenxiang, who was only 17 years old, in Gujiatai Village.
She was in her first year of high school, but she had already thought of dropping out.
The family is too poor, both my mother and brother are seriously ill, and my father has to go farming at such an old age.
The biggest wish of this ordinary rural girl is to earn money to support her family as soon as possible.
It was the arrival of the general secretary that made her change her mind.
She told reporters that General Secretary Xi came to see us just to help us get rich.
I still can’t quit school. I have to study hard. If I can earn 2,000 yuan in the future, I will give my family 1,500.
On the 16th, the reporter contacted Gu Wenxiang again.
She still remembered the details of the General Secretary's visit to Gujiatai Village eight years ago.
She told reporters that after she insisted on finishing high school, the family got out of poverty and moved to a new house.
With the help of the village cadres, Dad also got a job, so he didn't have to work in the field.
Now, the life of the family is more and more promising.
General Secretary Xi Jinping repeatedly said to everyone that poverty alleviation requires both wisdom and will. One is wisdom and the other is ambition.
In the past eight years, he has gone through many mountains and rivers, ravines and ravines, and the confidence he brought to change the destiny of poverty has leaped across thousands of mountains and rivers and has become a firm belief throughout the country.
A person will not stand without spirit, and a country without spirit will not be strong.
Opening the article and then reading this sentence really makes people feel that confidence and belief are vital at all times.
It can be as small as a single person, a collective, or as large as a political party, a nation, and a country. As long as they have these two things, they will be able to move forward unimpeded through rain or rain.
The reason why a nation is great is that it never gives up, does not back down, does not stop at any time, and strives for its own future and destiny with perseverance.
For eight years of hard work, I rely on this kind of spirit.
The battle for poverty alleviation has been won. Absolute poverty and overall regional poverty have been eliminated. The great spirit of poverty alleviation has also been integrated into the genes of our nation.
"To promote poverty alleviation and development, and to promote economic and social development, we must first have a good idea and a good path."
There is a part of the article, which is General Secretary Xi Jinping's specific guidance for Fuping to promote poverty alleviation and development and promote economic and social development.
He said this sentence at the beginning, emphasizing that "the first thing is to have a good idea and a good way."
General Secretary Xi Jinping spoke very detailed and specific.
For example, how to use the more than 3 million acres of mountain farms in Fuping, how to develop red tourism resources, what issues should be paid attention to when relocating, etc.
To sum up these words, we must insist on proceeding from reality, adapting measures to local conditions, clarifying our thinking, improving planning, and identifying breakthrough points.
In November 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed “precise poverty alleviation” during an investigation in Shibadong Village, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Province, emphasizing that poverty-stricken areas should proceed from reality, adapt to local conditions, understand what to grow, what to raise, and where to increase income, and help the villagers Find a good way out of poverty and get rich.
The two are obviously in the same line.
General Secretary Xi Jinping had already taught everyone a vivid lesson on "Poverty Alleviation with Precision" during his inspection in Fuping.
This "precise poverty alleviation" class has been taught by General Secretary Xi Jinping for eight years.
Sometimes, in order to make everyone better understand, he would use vivid stories as analogies, saying that in the 1950s, when the bandits were suppressed, sending large corps to the effect was not good, that is, "grenade bombing of fleas". He had to send a small team in "Lin Haixueyuan" go with.
Sometimes, in order to make everyone take it seriously, he slammed the drum and warned the place not to make it different from other places just because the general secretary has been there, and turn it into a bonsai that cannot be promoted.
In this way, in the past eight years, the implementation of the targeted poverty alleviation strategy has become the most important measure for poverty alleviation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed six precisions, namely, precise support targets, precise project arrangements, precise use of funds, precise measures to households, precise assignment of people to villages, and precise poverty alleviation effects to ensure that the benefits of various policies fall on the targets of poverty relief.
Under the guidance of “precise poverty alleviation”, policies are implemented according to categories, policies are implemented based on people and places, policies are implemented due to poverty, and policies are implemented based on poverty types, through support for production and employment development, resettlement through relocation, and poverty alleviation through ecological protection. , A batch of poverty alleviation through education and a batch of subsistence allowances.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said sincerely, who to support, who will support, how to support, and how to withdraw, the whole process must be accurate, and some require some "embroidery" effort.
With these measures, the needles are embroidered in the fine and real places.
In poverty alleviation, precision is the essence, success or failure lies in precision.
This is an important experience that has been proven in practice.
When we do all our work, we must have a scientific attitude and method of precise policy implementation, which has become the internal pursuit of the whole party and society.
"For rural areas to develop and farmers to get rich, the key depends on the branch."
In the article, General Secretary Xi Jinping focused on the construction of grassroots party branches.
There are nearly 2000 words in this part, which accounts for almost one-third of the entire length.
"For rural areas to develop and farmers to get rich, the key depends on the branch." General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about four issues.
The first is to implement the policy as it is, the second is to get a clear picture of the situation, the third is to build the branch in a down-to-earth manner, and the fourth is to make solidarity solid.
Expectations and trusts are beyond words.
Later, General Secretary Xi Jinping convened seven thematic meetings to win the battle against poverty, and almost every time he emphasized grassroots issues.
In 2016, at the East-West Poverty Alleviation Cooperation Forum, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to increase the training of cadres in the western region, especially grassroots cadres and leaders in poverty-stricken villages, to create a team that can be retained, fight, and lead. Walking talent team.
In 2018, at the symposium on precision poverty alleviation, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that for grassroots cadres, the focus is to improve their practical abilities, and more practical training methods such as case teaching and on-site teaching should be used to cultivate poverty alleviation, help, and style. A strong team of poverty alleviation cadres will enhance the ability of targeted poverty alleviation.
In 2020, at the decisive victory over poverty alleviation symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping requested to strengthen the training of poverty alleviation cadres to ensure that newly selected village cadres and newly appointed rural cadres are trained in rotation to enhance the ability of targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation.
...
By the beginning of 2020, a total of 255,000 village task forces 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.
Grassroots organizations in poverty-stricken areas have been strengthened, and grassroots cadres have significantly improved their skills through poverty identification and precise assistance.
In particular, young cadres learned about the grassroots, learned to do mass work, and grew rapidly in practice.
They led the poor people out of poverty and became rich. They exchanged their hard work for the happiness of the poor people, and some even gave their precious lives, interpreting the responsibility and feelings of the poverty alleviation cadres.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once said with emotion that in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, grassroots cadres in poor areas have shown strong combat effectiveness. Many teams in the villages are the "epidemic" teams and teams that fight against the "epidemic". They are inseparable from their experience in poverty alleviation over the past few years.
Grasping party building to promote poverty alleviation is not only reflected in the completion of poverty alleviation tasks, but also in improving the governance capabilities of poor areas and consolidating the party's basic governance in rural areas.
From this perspective, the words of General Secretary Xi Jinping have far-reaching significance.
