　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".

In 2017, since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made in-depth elaborations and scientific deployments many times around the implementation of this strategy.

　　On February 22, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing a Good Job in Promoting the Key Work of Rural Revitalization in 2022", that is, the No. 1 Central Document in 2022 was released.

Keeping the granary of a big country and promoting the high-quality and efficient development of agriculture

　　"Food security is the 'bigger of the country'. In all things, eating is the greatest. The people take food as the sky."

　　The country is unstable without agriculture, and the people are uneasy without food. The food industry is the foundation of rural revitalization.

　　In 2021, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, we have overcome many difficulties such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic, floods and natural disasters, and agricultural production will remain stable with progress, and grain output will remain above 1.3 trillion kilograms.

　　The year 2022 is an important year for us to enter a new era of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and marching toward the second centenary goal. In the face of a century of changes and a century-old epidemic, how can the granaries of great powers be stabilized?

　　In order to stabilize the production and supply of important agricultural products such as grain, a series of arrangements will be made in the No. 1 Central Document in 2022——

　　"Completely implement the same responsibility of the party and government for food security, strictly implement the assessment of the responsibility system for food security, and ensure that the sown area of ​​grain is stable and the output is maintained at more than 1.3 trillion kilograms", "implement the same responsibility of the party and the government to protect arable land, and strictly abide by the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land"... …a series of powerful measures and clear requirements demonstrate the determination to maintain a stable job.

　　To store grain in the ground, but also to store grain in technology.

Modern agriculture has provided a more solid guarantee for the food security of the ancient eastern country——

　　"In the early stage of wheat sowing late, spring management measures have to keep up." In the field of Woluan Village, Xigang Town, Qi County, Henan Province, villager Li Wenzhou is topdressing wheat; the National Nanfan Scientific Research and Breeding Base located in Sanya, Hainan Province, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Several new soybean varieties cultivated by the team of Professor Gai Junyi of Nanjing Agricultural University went from here to the whole country...

　　In 2022, the government work report put forward a series of measures such as "strengthening the transformation of low- and medium-yielding fields", "accelerating the promotion of the revitalization of the seed industry, and strengthening the research and application of agricultural science and technology", relying on science and technology to improve the quality and efficiency of food production.

　　Looking at the whole country, new cultivation has begun, and new harvests are being bred——

　　All localities will adjust and optimize the agricultural structure, accelerate the promotion of quality development, green development, and brand-strengthening agriculture. The development potential of agriculture and rural economy will be stronger, and the safety level and quality of agricultural products will be higher.

The ecological background is bright, and the industrial integration development gathers "new kinetic energy".

Build beautiful countryside with beautiful environment, beautiful life and rich culture

　　"We must take the implementation of rural construction actions as the starting point, improve the living environment in rural areas, and build beautiful villages that are livable and suitable for business." In March 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Fujian.

　　The year 2022 is a critical year for comprehensively improving the quality of rural living environment and building ecologically livable and beautiful villages.

　　If China wants to be beautiful, the countryside must be beautiful——

　　Rural living environment is an important part of rural construction, and it is also the carrier of ecological revitalization in the "five major revitalizations" of rural revitalization.

In 2022, the Central No. 1 document will make arrangements for toilet improvement in rural areas, domestic sewage treatment, black and odorous water treatment, and domestic waste source classification and reduction.

　　Up to now, the penetration rate of sanitary toilets in rural areas across the country has exceeded 70%, more than 95% of villages have carried out cleaning activities, more than 90% of administrative villages have collected and transported domestic waste, and more than 50,000 beautiful and livable villages have sprung up.

The countryside has become more and more "beautiful", and the living environment has become better.

　　Digital empowerment, adding vitality to the countryside——

　　Turn on the mobile phone to remotely "control" the temperature and humidity adjustment and roller shutter ventilation in the vegetable greenhouse; the "digital archives of garbage classification" are distributed to each farmer, and the classified garbage can be realized through the points of the electronic account; Immediately... The vivid scenes interpret the strong kinetic energy of digital rural construction to help rural revitalization.

　　Digital villages are the strategic direction of rural revitalization and an important part of building a digital China.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the outline of the long-term goals for 2035 clearly stated that "accelerating the construction of digital villages".

"Broadband access to every village" in administrative villages across the country, and "same network and speed" in urban and rural areas.

In 2021, the national rural online retail sales will be 2.05 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%. Thanks to the vigorous development and wide application of digital technology, remote areas are no longer remote and closed industries are no longer closed.

　　Beautiful environment, beautiful life, and rich culture——

　　The Yi compatriots who are located deep in the Daliang Mountains in Sichuan have brand-new furniture and induction cookers installed in their homes.

　　The material living standard has improved, and the thinking of the residents has also improved to a higher level: "Happiness is achieved through struggle, only hard work can make you rich", "We must let children study hard, and let knowledge change their destiny", in the positive thinking. Driven, the countryside is full of vigor and vitality.

　　The countryside is the birthplace of our traditional civilization. The roots of local culture cannot be broken, and the countryside cannot become a barren countryside, a left-behind countryside, or a hometown in memory.

Rural revitalization, shaping and casting souls, making up for cultural shortcomings, optimizing cultural supply, and emphasizing cultural inheritance, the public cultural system has become more complete, the cultural life of farmers has become more colorful, and the wind of civilized rural areas is blowing the vast fields.

Consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation, the days of farmers are getting better and better

　　"It will definitely get better! Better days are yet to come!"

　　In May 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping said this to the villagers in Fangcheng New Village, Xiping Town, when he inspected Datong City, Shanxi Province.

　　From the earthen cave dwellings on the saline-alkali land to the small bungalows with white walls and cornices, Fangcheng New Village in Xiping Town has completely reversed the situation of poor sanitation and health conditions, poor living and living conditions, and weak basic production conditions.

　　In February 2021, China 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.

　　Getting rid of poverty is not the end, but the starting point of a new life and new struggle.

　　In order to speed up the development of poverty alleviation areas, over the past year, all 33 linking policies determined by the central government have been introduced, gradually realizing a smooth transition from concentrated resources to support poverty alleviation to comprehensive rural revitalization.

Eight eastern provinces (cities) have paired up to help 10 western provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), investing 22.87 billion yuan in financial assistance.

305 central units directly invested and introduced funds of 66.88 billion yuan to designated assistance counties.

The state has identified 160 key counties for rural revitalization, and introduced 14 high-quality policies to carry out group assistance.

　　The year 2022 is the year of deepening the effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.

　　From the deployment of the No. 1 Central Document in 2022, it can be seen that consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation, improving the lives of the people who have been lifted out of poverty, and ensuring that there is no large-scale return to poverty are the bottom-line tasks for promoting rural revitalization in 2022.

　　How to ensure that there is no large-scale return to poverty?

The No. 1 Central Document in 2022 emphasizes that efforts should be made in four aspects: improving the monitoring and assistance mechanism, promoting the continuous increase of the income of the poverty-stricken population, increasing the support for the key rural revitalization counties and the centralized resettlement areas for relocation, and promoting poverty alleviation areas. The policy is effective.

　　In the depths of Wumeng Mountain, Huawu Village, Qianxi City, Guizhou Province is picturesque.

This used to be a deeply impoverished village, where people climbed the "hand-picked rock" and drafted water to the back of the river.

Today, the water circuit is connected to the home, and the Miao embroidery batik sells well all over the country.

　　On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Huawu Village, and in the village cultural square, he kindly said to the villagers: "After we get rid of poverty, we must continue to promote rural revitalization and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. I hope that the villagers will continue to work hard. Develop rural industries better and build rural areas more beautiful."

　　A village hides a China.

From poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, the changes in housing villages are behind the great logic of history and new propositions of development.

　　Rural revitalization is the revitalization of the whole region, all employees, and all-round revitalization, and it is a systematic project.

Emphasis on agriculture, strengthening agriculture, benefiting agriculture and rich peasants, the policy is solid, and the measures are confrontational.

It is necessary to maintain historical patience, move steadily, take stronger measures, and gather stronger forces to make farmers' sense of gain, happiness and security more fulfilling, more secure, and more sustainable.

In the field of hope, each seed is accumulating the power to grow upward, and each struggling figure is writing a new chapter of rural revitalization.
