Hot Interpretation On March 6, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the site of the joint group meeting of the members of the agricultural sector, social welfare and social security sectors at the Fifth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

This is the 10th time that General Secretary Xi Jinping has participated in the joint group meeting of the CPPCC since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

　　In the 1990s, some American scholars raised the question of "who will feed China".

At the joint group meeting, the general secretary answered this question with a firm tone - "Who will feed China? China must rely on self-reliance and feed itself!"

　　Food security has a special weight in General Secretary Xi Jinping's heart.

　　As early as at the Central Rural Work Conference in 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that "the Chinese people's rice bowls must be firmly in their hands at all times", and for the first time systematically expounded on the food security strategy in the new era.

　　After investigation and investigation, he went deep into the fields, watched the growth of crops, listened to the voices of farmers, and deployed food security.

In September 2018, the general secretary held a bowl of rice in both hands at the Beidahuang Precision Agricultural Machinery Center of the Qixing Farm of the Sanjiang Administration Bureau of Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation and Construction Sanjiang Administration. The phrase "Chinese food, Chinese rice bowl" is meaningful.

　　General Secretary Zeng Mingxing pointed out that even if we can buy all the grains in the international market, it will not be enough for us to eat for half a year.

Therefore, our standpoint and focus is that we must never buy or beg for food, and the rice bowl must mainly contain the food we produce.

　　At this joint group meeting, the general secretary once again emphasized: "We must maintain autonomy and ensure a controllable self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency rate."

　　In response to some people's remarks that "planting is worse than buying".

The general secretary asked back: "It's very easy to say. The land is not planted with soybeans, corn, or cotton. When the international market is not good, let's plant it again. It's easier said than done! Can we turn it over in three or five years?"

　　"We must take up our responsibilities." The general secretary clearly warned the whole party and the whole society that industrialization must not be turned into grain-free!

　　At the beginning of 2021, my country announced that it has won the battle against poverty in an all-round way, and nearly 100 million rural poor people have all been lifted out of poverty.

According to the World Bank, 100 million people around the world may fall into extreme poverty due to the epidemic.

The two "100 million" are thought-provoking, and more and more attention is turned to the East. Why can China?

　　From the footprints and requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping's domestic inspections, it can be seen that:

　　In May 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into a high-standard grain field in Henan and saw that the wheat was growing gratifyingly. It is pointed out that food security and "three rural" work are the important foundation of all work.

　　In April 2016, in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, the general secretary stepped into the wheat field along the ridge to observe the growth of wheat, and learned the key points of planting and management of high-yield demonstration fields from major grain farmers and agricultural technicians.

　　In July 2020, in Lishu County, Jilin Province, the general secretary stepped into the depths of the cornfield under the scorching sun.

General Secretary Xi Jinping made a sincere request to take effective measures to effectively protect and make good use of the black land, the "giant panda in cultivated land", so that it will benefit the people forever.

　　…………

　　At this joint group meeting, the general secretary has a sweet memory, and emotionally recalls the bitter days of tightening his belt.

This is not the first time the General Secretary recalled the bitter days of "starving" and emphasized the importance of food security.

　　"The more food you have, the more you have to think about the time when there is no food." The general secretary warned when he attended the 2021 Central Economic Work Conference, looking at the leading party and government cadres at the venue.

　　At this joint group meeting, the general secretary pointed out the direction on the issue of "how to feed a living":

　　"Ensure that 1.8 billion mu of arable land truly deserves its name."

　　"We must make up our minds to develop my country's seed industry, realize the self-reliance and self-improvement of seed industry technology, and the independent control of seed sources." To solve the problem of eating, the fundamental way out is science and technology.

　　"To establish a big food concept."

　　"Farmland is farmland, and farmland must be fertile land. No one is allowed to make flexibility or tricks in the protection of cultivated land.

　　…………

　　In 2021, the Central Rural Work Conference proposed that all efforts should be made to do a good job in grain production and the supply of important agricultural products, stabilize the grain area, and vigorously expand the production of soybeans and oilseeds.

The 2022 Central Document No. 1 incorporates this requirement, sending a very clear new signal.

　　With a population of 1.4 billion, we cannot count on others to feed them.
