In February 2018, Xi Jinping said during an inspection tour in Sichuan: "To win the battle against poverty, the absolute poverty problem of the Chinese nation for thousands of years will be solved historically in the hands of our generation. This is our life. Great luck." Three years later, this battle without gunpowder finally ended.
On February 25th, General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference and delivered an important speech.
In this conference, see people, things and spirits.
At the time of victory, pay tribute to these poor people
Xi Jinping solemnly declared at the summary and commendation meeting: "Through the joint efforts of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, at the important moment of ushering in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, my country has won a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty!"
As the supreme commander of the fight against poverty, Xi Jinping works with thousands of poverty alleviation fighters.
At the summary and commendation meeting on February 25, the general secretary grandly presented awards to their outstanding representatives.

By the Spring Festival this year, Zhang Guimei, the head of Huaping Girls’ Senior High School in Lijiang, Yunnan, had accumulated more than 20 diseases on his medical record.
Rooted in frontier education for more than 40 years, she founded China's first public free girls' high school and helped more than 1,800 girls enter the university.

Principal Zhang Guimei received the award in a wheelchair that day.
She told "Current Affairs News Eye" that she originally did not want to appear as a "wheelchair" for fear that the students would worry.
Speaking of winning, she said that this honor is for all rural teachers.
Another person who received the award in a wheelchair was the 98-year-old Xia Sen, who also cared about education in poor areas.
The "Xiasen Scholarship" she set up has helped more than 180 impoverished students realize their university dreams.
There was a detail on the day of the award. Elder Xia Sen tried to get up from the wheelchair to pay his respects. The general secretary tapped her on the shoulder and leaned over to present the award to her.
The 80-year-old Zhao Yafu is the representative of "Science and Technology".
In December 2014, when Xi Jinping visited the Agricultural Park in Xianfeng Village, Shiye Town, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, he talked with Zhao Yafu and praised him for showing to farmers, leading them to work, helping farmers sell, and making farmers rich.

In April last year, when the general secretary visited Shaanxi, he praised the "small fungus big industry" of tussah fungus.
This is exactly the result of the scientific and technological assistance of the team led by academician Li Yu of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Li Yu told the "Current Affairs News Eye" that his team has developed a variety of products such as fungus slices, fungus ice cream, fungus tea and other products, and has also built a quality and safety cloud data platform to escort farmers to increase their income and become rich.

On the same day, in addition to 10 people who won the honorary title of "National Model of Poverty Alleviation", 10 collectives also received this honor: Shi Jintong, Hunan’s Shibadong Village is the birthplace of the concept of "precise poverty alleviation", and the party branch secretary Shi Jintong came to the stage to receive the award; Minning Town in Ningxia was upgraded from the "Minning Village" named by the general secretary himself. Zhang Wen, secretary of the town party committee, took the stage to receive the award; in February 2018, the general secretary visited Sanhe Village, Zhaojue County, Liangshan, Sichuan. It's Li Kai, the first secretary born in the 90s...
Times make heroes, and greatness comes from the ordinary.
Millions of poverty alleviation cadres dedicated their efforts and won a hard-won victory.

Major event: brilliant achievements in history
People stand by things, and things happen by people.
Anti-poverty has always been a major event in the governance of the country, both at home and abroad.
At the summary and commendation meeting on February 25, Xi Jinping said that in the past eight years, the Party Central Committee has placed poverty alleviation in a prominent position in governance and organized a massive people's war against poverty.

How to accomplish this major event?
The general secretary "marked the key points" like this: At the end of 2012, the prelude to the new era of poverty alleviation was opened.
In 2013, the concept of targeted poverty alleviation was put forward.
In 2015, the general order to win the battle against poverty was issued.
In 2017, targeted poverty alleviation was listed as one of the three major battles.
In 2020, do a good job of "additional test questions" and fight the final battle.

Xi Jinping said that my country has achieved a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty. "This is the great glory of the Chinese people, the great glory of the Communist Party of China, and the great glory of the Chinese nation."
A glorious journey, precious experience.
At the summary and commendation meeting on February 25, Xi Jinping concluded as "seven perseverances", which included persisting in giving full play to
the political advantages of
China's socialist system that can
concentrate its efforts on major tasks
.

At the summary and commendation meeting, the general secretary said that as long as we adhere to the leadership of the party and firmly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we will surely be able to accomplish more major events like poverty alleviation.
Fact: Really alleviate the poor
In retrospect of history, we can always find valuable persistence.
On the 16th of this month, the "Seeking Truth" magazine published a speech by Xi Jinping on the investigation of poverty alleviation and development in Fuping, Hebei eight years ago.
The general secretary reminded at that time that "the average will cover the gap."
At the summary and commendation meeting on the 25th, the general secretary said in summing up the experience of the past eight years: “We ask for embroidering efforts to help the poor to the point, roots, and families to
prevent the average from covering up the majority
.”

One detail reflects the distinctive feature of the fight against poverty-seeking truth and being pragmatic.
On February 21, 2017, when Xi Jinping presided over the 39th collective study of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, he said: “The
poverty alleviation work must be pragmatic, the poverty alleviation process must be solid, and the poverty alleviation results must be real
."

Alleviating poverty is a major event and a real thing.
The General Secretary has repeatedly described it as the "First Livelihood Project".
At the summary and commendation meeting on February 25, the general secretary said: "We emphasize solid guidance, strict rules, do not engage in fistwork, red tape, and superficial writing, and resolutely oppose overwhelming and sprinkling of pepper. Resolutely oppose the'face-saving project' that does not conform to reality, resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy, and put all work into solving practical problems for the poor."

Make practical efforts and seek practical results.
At the symposium on decisive victory over poverty alleviation in March last year, the general secretary made arrangements: starting from the second half of that year, the state will organize a general survey of poverty alleviation.
At this year's summary and commendation meeting, the general secretary stated that the Party Central Committee has decided to organize and carry out the evaluation work after consolidating the results of poverty alleviation in a timely manner.
The intention is
to truly make the effect of poverty alleviation stand the test of history and the people
.

Difficulties: Overcome difficulties and continue to struggle
In October 2015, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Party changed the "poverty alleviation" to "poverty alleviation".
The meeting pointed out that lifting the rural poor from poverty is the most difficult task for building a well-off society in all respects.
More than five years later, Xi Jinping looked back on the battle against poverty in the summary and commendation meeting: "The party and the people have overcome all obstacles, weathered the wind and rain, carried forward the spirit of nailing nails, dared to gnaw hard bones, and conquered one after another the poor among the poor and the hard center."

In his speech that day, the general secretary quoted the famous sentence of "Huainanzi": "It is difficult to overcome, and it is difficult to hold it." Next, China must comprehensively promote rural revitalization and consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation.
The general secretary has a sober understanding of this: "The depth, breadth, and difficulty of comprehensively implementing the rural revitalization strategy are no less than that of poverty alleviation."
△On the afternoon of February 25, the National Bureau of Rural Development was officially listed.

Difficulties show courage, hard work begins to succeed.
As the general secretary said at the summary and commendation meeting: "We have no reason to be proud and complacent, to rest our feet, we must take advantage of the momentum, make persistent efforts, and continue to struggle."
The spirit of poverty alleviation: a long journey, only struggle
A few days ago, the Party History Study and Education Mobilization Conference was held in Beijing.
Xi Jinping pointed out that in a hundred years of extraordinary struggle, a series of great spirits have been formed and the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists has been constructed.
A few days later, "new members" were added to this spiritual pedigree.
At the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference, the general secretary put forward and profoundly expounded the great spirit of poverty alleviation for the first time-"the top
and bottom are united, to fight hard, to be precise and pragmatic, to innovate, to overcome difficulties, and to live up to the people
".

Among these, "precision and pragmatism" especially embodies the scientific attitude, practical character, and governance wisdom of the Chinese Communists.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has always emphasized that precision is the most important thing in poverty alleviation and precision.
Facts have also fully proved that targeted poverty alleviation is the magic weapon to win the battle against poverty.

At the Central Poverty Alleviation and Development Work Conference held in November 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out: “'The rule of chaos in the world is not the rise and fall of a single name, but the sorrow and happiness of the people.' We Communists must have such feelings. The CPC’s ruling in China is to benefit the people, and only by doing so can the foundation of our party’s governance be as firm as a rock."
Only to benefit the people can we live up to the people
.
To understand from this point, the spirit of poverty alleviation will never go out of style.
