Xinhua News Agency reporter
Mountains are majestic and majestic; seas are magnificent.
An expedition 25 years ago connected Fujian, which faces the sea by the river, and Xihaigu, Ningxia, which is deep in mountains and ditches.
In April 1997, Xi Jinping, then the deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, went to Xihaigu to conduct a poverty alleviation inspection shortly after he served as the leader of the Fujian Provincial Leading Group to Help Ningxia. key".
From the coast of the East China Sea to the mountains and plateaus of the northwest, Xi Jinping's "mountain and sea feelings" spanning more than 2,000 kilometers are meaningful.
Over the past 25 years, under the personal planning and promotion of Xi Jinping, the Minning cooperation has opened up a new mechanism of cooperation between the east and the west, and has stepped out of the poverty alleviation path that changed from "blood transfusion" to "blood production", creating a successful example of anti-poverty governance with Chinese characteristics. Drive the cadres and the masses of the two places to continue their struggle on the road of common prosperity.
Join hands to fight poverty, "mountain and sea love" spans time and space
In midsummer, Funing Village, Minning Town.
Villager Xie Xingchang is practicing online live streaming in the live broadcast room of Shanhai Xiaoyuan.
In addition to live streaming sales of Ningxia specialty products, this small courtyard also has a Minning Collaboration Achievement Exhibition Hall.
Since opening for free in June last year, Xie Xingchang has told nearly 2,000 people the story of the development of Minning Town.
Xihaigu, which is "barren and the best in the world", until the 1980s and 1990s, "no fire for three days, no clothing for ten years" was still the normal life of the local people.
In April 1997, Xi Jinping came to the Gushan District of Xihai for the first time, and investigated 5 counties for several consecutive days.
Walking into the cave dwelling of Feng Xiuhua, a fellow from Xihaigu, Xi Jinping was deeply saddened. He later recalled: "I really realized what a family is with four walls. The family has neither desks, chairs, benches, nor bedding. The only 'property' in the family is hanging in the house. A pinch of nostiness on the beam, just rely on selling such a little nostiness to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
The research in Xihaigu made Xi Jinping determined to promote counterpart assistance.
When inspecting the suburbs of Yinchuan, Xi Jinping was very interested in the practice of co-building immigrant villages between the east and the west, and proposed that "immigrants should be able to move out, stay stable, and get rich."
Soon, Xi Jinping personally delineated the Yuquanying area in the southwest of Yinchuan as the location of the immigrant village and named it "Minning Village".
At that time, 42-year-old Xie Xingchang had just "run out" from the Gushan Valley in Xihai, and was struggling to "find a way".
On July 15, 1997, when he heard Xi Jinping's congratulatory letter at the groundbreaking ceremony of Minning Village, Xie Xingchang was overjoyed and returned to Xiji County to mobilize the villagers in Dashangou to relocate.
During his work in Fujian, Xi Jinping attended the Minning Poverty Alleviation Cooperation Joint Conference 5 times, personally investigated, planned scientifically, and promoted it with all-out efforts. The cooperation mechanism of "pairing assistance, industry promotion, mutual learning and mutual assistance, and social participation" has built four pillars and eight pillars for the cooperation between Minning and Ningxia.
After working in the central government, Xi Jinping visited Xihaigu three times in 2008, 2016 and 2020, and devoted a lot of effort to the poverty alleviation and development of Xihaigu.
On April 8, 2008, Xi Jinping, then a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice President of the State, came to Shengou Village, Yuanzhou District, Guyuan City to investigate and investigate in Ningxia. .
A word awakens Ma Zhenggang, then the secretary of the party branch of Shengou Village.
Since then, he has led the villagers to set up agricultural machinery cooperatives to contract farmland construction projects in surrounding towns.
More than ten years have passed, and today's Shengou Village has become a beautiful Shengou community.
Later, the "Double Belt Project", which played an important role in Ningxia's poverty alleviation efforts, originated from this.
From July 18th to 20th, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Ningxia again to inspect Minning Town.
This is the ecological resettlement site that he personally proposed 19 years ago to jointly build by Fujian and Ningxia.
Xie Xingchang, who was in his sixtieth year, saw General Secretary Xi Jinping. He took the general secretary's hand and said, "The kindness of the Communist Party cannot be said for three days and three nights."
"Minning Town has explored a broad road, and we want to promote this valuable experience to the whole country." General Secretary Xi Jinping was very pleased to see the gratifying changes in Minning Town.
From June 8 to 10, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Ningxia for the fourth time.
The battle against poverty is coming to an end, and he has begun to plan for Ningxia how to take a new journey of rural revitalization.
Under the scorching sun, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Daoyu Space Rural Ecological Sightseeing Park by the Yellow River, walked along the ridge into the depths of the rice fields, and learned about the agricultural cooperatives driving farmers to increase their incomes and become rich.
"You can't take away the peasants' land. You can do it well, but it has nothing to do with the peasants. We need to get rich together." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words warmed the hearts of the peasants.
"The general secretary is always thinking about our farmers!" Sun Yuzhen, a villager who listened to General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the scene, burst into tears. Her family's 13 mu of land was transferred to the sightseeing park, and she worked in the sightseeing park to get wages, which was more than her own income from farming. three times.
Later, in a vineyard under Helan Mountain, General Secretary Xi Jinping asked in detail about grape planting, wine sales and villagers' income. He pointed out: "Ningxia should combine the development of the wine industry with strengthening the management of the Yellow River floodplain and strengthening the ecological restoration, and improve the Technical level, increase cultural connotation, strengthen publicity and promotion, build their own well-known brands, and improve added value and comprehensive benefits.”
General Secretary Xi Jinping's words deeply touched Chen Deqi, a businessman in Fujian.
He continued to grow grapes on a deserted beach in Minning Town for 15 years, and solved the employment of more than 3,000 Xihaigu immigrants.
The east-west cooperation and fixed-point assistance have played an important role in completing the poverty alleviation goals and tasks as scheduled.
On July 20, 2016, at the East-West Poverty Alleviation Cooperation Symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a very vivid analogy: "This is just like Liupan Mountain was the last mountain to be climbed by the Red Army's Long March. All 10,000 poor people are lifted out of poverty, which is the last mountain we must climb to win the battle against poverty.
When people are united, Mount Tai is moved.
It is precisely under the experience and demonstration of Minning initiated by Xi Jinping that funds, technologies, talents and ideas from the developed eastern regions have been continuously imported into the western regions to promote the improvement of "hematopoietic" capabilities in impoverished regions and achieve mutual benefit and common development.
Everyone worked together to uproot the poor and join hands to achieve a well-off society, which fully reflects the significant advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of my country and the socialist system of our country.
In the past 25 years, Minning Village with more than 8,000 people has grown into Minning Town with more than 60,000 people.
The dusty "Dry Beach" in the past has been transformed into a "Golden Beach" with shady trees and fertile fields, and the annual per capita disposable income has increased from 500 yuan to 16,000 yuan.
Today, Ningxia has successively "incubated" more than 160 Minning model villages, and built a number of ecological resettlement model villages and towns such as Minning Town, Shishi Town, Hui'an Village, Nanyuan Village and Tuanjie Village.
Ningxia cadres and masses speak of "mountains and seas", and they are all grateful for the pioneering, pragmatic, and preciseness of Xi Jinping's assistance measures in Minning. Each year, a joint meeting of counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation is held to establish a "point-to-point" and "one-to-one" market. County pairing assistance mechanism, Minning exchanged cadres for temporary training...
Xie Xingchang, who lives in a small building, has five children married.
"I hope that through the picture display and my explanation, the younger generation can understand the past and present of Minning Town, and drink water and think of the source." He said.
Complementary advantages, "mountain and sea feelings" are inspiring
In Ningxia, a group of Fujianese are affectionately called "Ningxia Mushroom Lord".
Lin Zhanxi, chief scientist of the National Juncao Engineering Technology Research Center, is one of them.
Lin Zhanxi is the pioneer of Juncao technology.
In April 1997, Lin Zhanxi was ordered by Xi Jinping and took his team and six boxes of Juncao seeds from Fujian to Pengyang County in Xihaigu.
"In April 1997, at the second joint meeting of Minning counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation held in Yinchuan, Juncao technology was listed as a Minning counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation project. Comrade Xi Jinping personally signed the minutes of the joint meeting." Lin Zhanxi recalled.
The natural environment and climatic conditions of Ningxia are very different from those of Fujian. It is difficult to imagine the difficulty of cultivating edible fungi by "replacing wood with grass" using the Juncao technology originated in Fujian.
Lin Zhanxi instructed villagers to build semi-basement mushroom sheds and use abandoned cave dwellings to cultivate edible mushrooms.
At that time, he often lived in a mushroom shed to get up at night to check for temperature changes.
Half a year later, the cultivation of edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and Agaricus bisporus with crop straws was successful, and the income of the demonstration farmers who participated in the production of edible mushrooms more than doubled that year.
Liu Changfu, a 54-year-old villager in the Gardening Village of Minning Town, recalled the scene when he built a mushroom shed and planted Juncao in his yard under the guidance of Lin Zhanxi more than 20 years ago.
"I earned more than 7,000 yuan in the first year. I never saw so much money at that time!"
On July 5, 2000, Xi Jinping, then governor of Fujian Province, attended the award ceremony held by the provincial government to award Lin Zhanxi an award.
He pointed out that the advantages of Juncao technology are quite prominent in the country, and it is necessary to continue to let it play an important role in poverty alleviation and prosperity.
By the end of 2021, the total output value of edible fungi in Ningxia will be 193 million yuan, and the average annual income of mushroom farmers will increase by more than 20,000 yuan.
Juncao has become one of the important industries for local people to get rid of poverty.
In July 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Ningxia: "We must adapt measures to local conditions and take cultivating industries as the fundamental way to promote poverty alleviation."
As early as the 1980s, Xi Jinping explored the industrial cooperation between Minning and Ningxia while working in Xiamen.
At that time, Tongan County in Xiamen was economically backward, but the water resources were very good. The local area wanted to set up a brewery to increase the output value.
After learning about it, Xi Jinping clearly proposed to introduce Ningxia hops into Tongan.
After the brewery was put into operation in 1988, the annual output is 2,000 tons and the tax revenue is 2 million yuan.
"Now, the development of rural industries is not like planting a few acres of land and raising a few pigs in the past. If conditions permit, we must expand the space for industrial value-added and efficiency improvements through the entire industrial chain, and create more opportunities for employment and income growth." From poverty alleviation to rural revitalization , General Secretary Xi Jinping has continuously promoted the transformation and upgrading of cooperation between the east and the west.
Li Huiqin, a cadre of Fujian aid to Ningxia in Minning Town, took the words of General Secretary Xi Jinping to heart.
In 2021, he will discuss cooperation with agricultural product processing companies offline, and bring goods online in the live broadcast room. Ningxia agricultural products such as wolfberry, wine, and Tan sheep have become "10,000 items" in his hands.
"The general secretary's words inspired me a lot. Ningxia's agricultural products should not be limited to the 'giving love' consumption poverty alleviation between Minning and Ningxia, but should go to a broader market." Li Huiqin said.
How many industries have Minning cooperation developed?
There are so many people in Ningxia - grape planting and brewing, animal husbandry processing, labor export, new energy, e-commerce... At present, more than 6,700 Fujian enterprises have settled in Ningxia, and more than 50,000 Ningxia people work in Fujian every year. Minning industrial cooperation has become the hard core support for the high-quality development of Ningxia.
Minning cooperation is not only at the industrial level, but also mutual learning and mutual assistance of ideas and spirits.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has profound thoughts on the dialectical relationship between material and spiritual in poverty alleviation: "When I was working in Ningde, Fujian, I said 'the weak bird flies first', which means that poor areas and poor people must first have the consciousness of 'flying' and 'first'. "Fly's action" "Get rid of poverty is not to get rid of material poverty, but to get rid of the poverty of consciousness and thinking".
Whether it is industry, concept or spirit, Minning cooperation has never been a unilateral assistance.
When he first came to Ningxia 25 years ago, Xi Jinping put forward a request for mutual learning and mutual assistance: "We must calm down, endure loneliness, and bring the experience of the east and the spirit of the west back."
"Minning cooperation is a university without walls." This is the common feeling of the cadres and masses in Fujian and Ningxia.
In recent years, the Long March Memorial Hall of the Red Army in Liupanshan is an important stop, whether it is the Fujian Aid to Ningxia Work Team or the Fujian delegation studying in Ningxia.
"We must carry forward the revolutionary spirit of 'not a hero without the Great Wall' expressed by Chairman Mao in "Qing Ping Le Liupan Mountain", have the courage to take responsibility, take the initiative, have the courage to fight, and be good at fighting." In June 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected In Ningxia time, Yin Yin entrusted him.
"The roughness of the Loess Plateau has tempered us, and the tenacity of the people of Xihaigu has educated us. In Ningxia, we deeply understand that the revolutionary spirit of 'not being a hero without the Great Wall' is a precious treasure in our life." The leader of the fifth batch of aid to Ningxia from Fujian Province Zhou Xiuguang said.
Continue to struggle, "mountain and sea love" will light up tomorrow
"Eastern and eastern poverty alleviation cooperation and counterpart support must persist for a long time."
"Only our party and country can do this in the world, which fully demonstrates our political and institutional advantages."
In July 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the East-West Poverty Alleviation Cooperation Symposium.
A drop of water wears a stone, and it works for a long time.
It is political and institutional advantages that allow China to turn "impossible" into "possible".
As of the end of 2020, Fujian Province, its counterpart cities, counties (districts) and all sectors of society have invested a total of 3.369 billion yuan in assistance funds, and more than 60% of the assistance funds have been used in deeply impoverished areas in Ningxia, and more than 4,000 projects have been aided.
In November 2020, Xiji County, the last impoverished county in Ningxia, was lifted out of poverty as scheduled.
On February 25, 2021, at the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference in the Great Hall of the People, when Zhang Wen, then Secretary of the Minning Town Party Committee, took over the honorary medal of "National Poverty Alleviation Model" awarded by Minning Town, General Secretary Xi Jinping took 8 A word of affectionate encouragement: "Consistently, look at it with admiration!"
Shortly after that, on April 8, 2021, the National East-West Cooperation and Central Unit Fixed-point Assistance Work Promotion Conference was held in Yinchuan, Ningxia.
The meeting conveyed and learned the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on deepening the cooperation between the east and west and fixed-point assistance work.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has a more long-term plan for cooperation between the East and the West——
"It is necessary to adapt to changes in the situation and tasks, focus on consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, and comprehensively promote rural revitalization";
"The whole party must carry forward the spirit of poverty alleviation, take advantage of the momentum, and continue to struggle";
"It is necessary to improve the paired assistance relationship between the east and the west, expand the areas of assistance, improve the assistance mechanism, optimize the assistance method, strengthen industrial cooperation, resource complementarity, labor service docking, and talent exchange, mobilize the whole society to participate, and form regional coordinated development and coordinated development. , a good situation for common development”…
In May 2021, Fujian and Ningxia held the 25th joint meeting of Minning cooperation, signed 49 cooperation projects, and jointly formulated the "14th Five-Year Plan for Minning Cooperation" to promote the further deepening of Minning cooperation.
It is clear that Minning Town will build a demonstration town for cooperation between the east and the west, a demonstration town for immigrant enrichment and improvement, and a demonstration town for rural revitalization, promote the transformation and upgrading of 10 Minning industrial parks, improve quality and efficiency, and comprehensively consolidate and upgrade about 100 Minning demonstration villages. At the end of the "Fourth Five-Year Plan", there are about 10,000 enterprises (merchants) in Ningxia and Fujian...
From government-led to play the role of market players, from one-way assistance to two-way interaction, from poverty alleviation cooperation to comprehensive cooperation - the "14th Five-Year Plan for Minning Cooperation" is closely related to coordinated development, coordinated development, and common development. The guiding ideology proposes that Minning cooperation will continue to be at the forefront and set an example in the cooperation work between the east and the west during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
The edge of mountains and seas is not over, and the love between mountains and seas is deeper.
Looking back at the past and facing the future, as General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "As long as we adhere to the party's leadership and firmly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we will be able to accomplish more major and difficult tasks such as poverty alleviation, and continue to move from victory to victory. A new victory!" (Reporters Wang Yongqian, Li Junde, Qi Zhongxi, Sun Yi, Zhang Liang)
