Editor's note: Through the joint efforts of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups, at the important moment of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, my country has achieved a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty. According to the current standards, all 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and all 832 poor counties have been lifted out of poverty. After taking off their hats, all 128,000 poor villages were listed, the overall regional poverty was resolved, the arduous task of eradicating absolute poverty was completed, and another human miracle was created in the annals of history!
The broad masses of people out of poverty showed sincere smiles. This is the greatest affirmation of the fight against poverty, the highest praise for the broad masses of party members and cadres, and the best consolation to the revolutionary ancestors and heroes.
"Learning Everyday" specially planned the "Laughing so beautiful" series to record the happy lives of the folks and take you to experience the beautiful changes in the countryside.
Studying Everyday In January 1969, Xi Jinping, who was under 16 years old, came to Liangjiahe Village in northern Shaanxi to jump in and spent seven years as an educated youth here.
In the impression of the villagers, in the cave dwellings where Xi Jinping lived, the kang, the bedding, and the pillows were all books.
"Looking back now, the cave where Jinping and the others lived was particularly warm and magical, like a treasure house of knowledge." Wu Hui, a villager who worked and lived with Xi Jinping, recalled.
At that time, Wu Hui wanted to see what was written in those books, but did not dare to read more at first.
It was Xi Jinping who spoke first, shouting Wu Hui's nickname and said: "Iron Lock, take it to read any book you like." When he met someone who didn't understand, Wu Hui asked Xi Jinping, "No matter what you ask, Jinping is very good. Teach me patiently".
Popular science books "One Hundred Thousand Whys", historical books "Three Kingdoms", Gorky's "Mother", Sholokhov's "Quiet Don"... Wu Hui's desire for knowledge touched Xi Jinping, and he wondered what to do , To help the folks learn some culture.

One day, the party branch of the brigade held a meeting and Xi Jinping formally proposed: “In our village, there are many people like Wu Hui who want to learn. If young people are illiterate and do not learn, there will be no way out in the future. I will run a literacy class to help everyone Organize and learn!"
At that time, most people in the village were illiterate. This proposal was supported and literacy classes were soon started.
Xi Jinping agreed with everyone that after dinner and when it rains and does not go to work, it is the time for the literacy class.
The book "Stories of Xi Jinping's Poverty Alleviation" records the details of the teaching at that time: Without teaching tools, Xi Jinping copied the cards of Chinese characters by himself.
One, two, three, four, southeast, northwest, front, back, left and right, men and women, old and young... Starting from the simplest, most commonly used, and most basic Chinese characters, he will teach a little more complicated characters when everyone has some foundation.
In addition to teaching everyone literacy, Xi Jinping also tells the folks about the past and the present.
Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, he speaks in a simple way, and everyone listens easily and happily.
Decades later, the villager Zhang Weipang still remembered his learning experience back then: "I love listening to Jinping telling stories. I am a big boss, I don’t understand anything, and I haven’t read any books, so I will stare at him and listen to him. Speaking, it took a long time to hear it, and then I thought the story he told was too interesting!"
"At that time, compared with other surrounding villages, the cultural quality of Liangjiahe villagers was higher, and there were many more literate people." Villager Wang Xianping recalled.

"To get rid of poverty is not to get rid of material poverty, but to get rid of poverty of consciousness and thinking." General Secretary Xi Jinping believes that getting rid of poverty and getting rich should not only pay attention to the rich pockets, but also the rich head.
This is the meaning of China's anti-poverty struggle, and it is also the best way to help the poor that General Secretary Xi Jinping has insisted on for decades.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in order to "support the wisdom", General Secretary Xi Jinping has conducted in-depth investigations and thoughts-he traveled for more than 3 hours to the Zhongyi Township Primary School in Shizhu County, Chongqing, deep in the mountains, to learn about the implementation of education for poverty alleviation; It is required to "continuously improve the remuneration of teachers, so that teachers can teach with peace of mind and be enthusiastic about teaching"; he urged young teachers to "strive to be the forerunner of education reform, the pioneer of education for poverty alleviation, the guide of student growth"...
Time flies, and the present and the past can be traced back.
Educational poverty alleviation has brought great changes and hope to China.
In today’s China, basic education has historically solved the problem of "getting to school". Millions of poor families have the first generation of college students... More and more poor students have successfully completed their studies and used their own struggle to break The poverty situation has opened up a wider world.
