The meeting with General Secretary Xi Jinping was on March 10, 2017, at the deliberation site of the Xinjiang delegation at the Fifth Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress.
Maimaiti Yibureyimu Maimaitiming, Secretary of the Party Branch of Bashiyujimai Village, Cele County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was the first time to see the General Secretary so closely, "It's like what I saw on TV, Kind and warm."
General Secretary Xi Jinping previously sent a letter to Uncle Kurban's family.
At the meeting that day, Maimaiti Yibreimu showed the general secretary the photo of the "family portrait" that Uncle Kurban's family entrusted him to bring.
"It's really thriving."
General Secretary Xi Jinping said while looking at the photo: "When I was in elementary school, I read from the text that Uncle Kurban was going to Beijing to visit Chairman Mao on a donkey."
The general secretary's praise and concern made the atmosphere of the venue more active.
The general secretary asked with concern: "In your Hotan area, there is very little arable land in the countryside. How much land does each family in your village have?" "Do you grow food or fruit trees now?"
Maimaiti Yibu Reyim was very moved: "Xinjiang is so far from the capital, but the general secretary's heart is so close to us!"
It was during that review that General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to fully implement targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation, take the poverty-stricken areas in southern Xinjiang as the main battleground for poverty alleviation, implement rural housing and nomadic settlement projects, urban affordable housing projects, and improve agricultural production. Basic public services in pastoral areas and border areas, and strive to enable people of all ethnic groups to live a better life.
What surprised Maimaiti Yibureyimu was that, on the second evening, at the tea party of the ethnic minority representatives of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, he saw the general secretary again and sat next to the general secretary.
The general secretary communicated with him cordially and explained to him the characteristics of live performances.
One program after another, Maimaiti Yibu Reyimu's heart also followed the singing to the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Maimaiti Yibu Reimu knows that the general secretary of many places has been there, and the big family of the Chinese nation is installed in the general secretary's heart.
The melody of "We are a good place in Xinjiang..." sounded in his ears, and he couldn't be more happy.
Since then, whenever he encounters difficulties, he will always think of the scene of meeting the general secretary and the general secretary's entrustment.
He has a belief in his heart: "I can't live up to the general secretary's entrustment. To lead the villagers to unite to become rich and to go to a well-off society, no matter how difficult it is!"
That was 2019, a crucial year for poverty alleviation.
In order to build a rabbit breeding assistance project, Maimaiti Yibreimu moved into a tent next to the construction site and lived there for 85 days.
When the villagers were confused, he rushed back to the village to have a heart-to-heart talk.
"Raising rabbits is more profitable than raising sheep." He first calculated an account to dispel the concerns of the villagers who are unwilling to raise rabbits. "A rabbit has 40 a year, and 30 yuan is 1,200 yuan a year."
"The employees who manage the rabbit house are all from our villagers, and the monthly salary is 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan a year." He continued.
"You have to build the rabbit house first to see the benefits. The construction site for laying water pipes, erecting wires, and transporting materials is in need of manpower."
...
Maimaiti Ibreyimu answered the villagers' questions, and once again told everyone the general secretary's emphasis on the development of Xinjiang and his concern for people's lives.
After communicating with each other over and over again, everyone has less worries and more confidence.
Within a month, a construction team was assembled, and the rabbit breeding project was carried out smoothly.
In 2019, a modern rabbit house was successfully inspected, and the first batch of 50,000 breeding rabbits were all in place; more than 70 villagers were trained to become rabbit house employees.
There are more and more assistance industries in the village, and the benefits are getting better and better.
In the Chinese New Year of 2022, the small courtyard of Avani Shahan Tursun Tohti's house is full of laughter and laughter, and the breeding rabbits raised in a nest are thriving.
The aunt, who used to worry about raising rabbits, increased her family's income by 200% last year and moved into a 120-square-meter rich and comfortable house with a lot of large sofas and large color TVs.
Maimaiti Yibreimu walked into the small courtyard of her aunt's house, and Avani Shahan's face blossomed with a smile.
