In early summer, Gangnam is picturesque.

From the water towns of northern Zhejiang, to the hills of central Zhejiang, and then to the mountainous areas of southwest Zhejiang, thousands of villages have their own beauty, and a picture of "village beauty, people, and common prosperity" is slowly spreading in the land of the river.

In June 2003, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee launched the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Rectification" project (hereinafter referred to as the "6 million projects").

This was a major decision personally planned, deployed and promoted by Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee. Over the past 20 years, the "<> Million Project" has been made for a long time and solidly promoted, creating thousands of beautiful villages in Zhejiang and benefiting thousands of peasants, with remarkable results and far-reaching influence.

In April 2018, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, issued an important instruction: Zhejiang Province has made great contributions for 4 years, solidly promoted the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Rectification" project, created thousands of beautiful villages, and achieved remarkable results. As I have said many times, the matter of improving the rural environment should be carried out in both developed and underdeveloped areas, but the standards can be high or low. It is necessary to combine the implementation of the three-year action plan for improving the rural living environment and the rural revitalization strategy, further promote Zhejiang's good experience and practices, adapt measures to local conditions, implement precise policies, do not engage in "performance projects" and "image projects", do one thing after another, work year after year, build beautiful villages that are ecological and livable, and let the vast number of farmers have more sense of gain and happiness in rural revitalization.

In September 2018, Project 9 Million was awarded the Champions of the Earth Award, the highest environmental honor by the United Nations Environment Programme. In March 2019, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council forwarded the "Report of the Central Agricultural Office, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Development and Reform Commission on In-depth Study of Zhejiang's "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Rectification" Project Experience to Solidly Promote the Improvement of Rural Human Settlements Environment, and issued a notice requiring all regions and departments to seriously implement it in light of actual conditions. The "3 million projects" governance experience has gone nationwide.

Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang Province has adhered to the principle of "drawing a blueprint to the end" and continued to deepen the "1 million projects" - the scope of rectification has been continuously extended, from the initial <>,<> administrative villages to all administrative villages in the province; The connotation continues to be enriched, from "<> villages demonstration, <> villages rectification" leading progress, promoting more neat and orderly villages, to deepening and upgrading "<> villages and <> villages beautiful", promoting more beautiful and livable villages, and then to "<> villages in the future, <> villages for common prosperity" iterative upgrading, strengthening digital empowerment, and gradually forming a vivid situation of "<> villages to the future, <> villages for common prosperity, urban and rural integration to promote integration, and the whole city to create harmony and beauty".

The rural living environment has been deeply reshaped, the integrated development of urban and rural areas has been further promoted, the rural industry has flourished, the efficiency of rural governance has been effectively improved, and the spiritual outlook of farmers has been continuously improved, which has had a wide impact at home and abroad... Over the past 20 years, the "Ten Million Project" has achieved remarkable results, continuously accelerated the pace of integrated urban and rural development, promoted the construction of a beautiful China, comprehensively promoted rural revitalization, and laid a solid foundation for writing a chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Zhejiang.

Under the leadership of the "Ten Million Project", Zhejiang has become the first province to pass the acceptance of the National Ecological Province, and the evaluation of rural human settlements continues to rank first in the country. In 2022, the per capita disposable income of farmers in Zhejiang will reach 37565,38 yuan, ranking first in the country for 1 consecutive years; The income gap between urban and rural residents in Zhejiang fell to 90.<>, narrowing for ten consecutive years.

From point to surface

Reshape the living environment in rural areas of the province

Just entering the 21st century, the artificial crystal industry in Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province has reached its peak. A county gathers more than 2,<> crystal processing workshops, and crystal is everywhere in the county seat, streets, and villages.

At the same time, the ecology here is almost desperate: 85% of the rivers in the county have become "milk rivers", "garbage rivers" and "black smelly rivers".

In Zhejiang at the beginning of the 21st century, the private economy emerged in the country, but extensive growth also brought overall pressure to Zhejiang's regional environment, and rural construction and social development lagged behind significantly, and Pujiang was the epitome of it. According to the Provincial Party Committee's Agricultural Office, at that time, there were 4000,3 villages in the province with relatively good environments, and more than <>,<> villages with relatively poor environments.

How to change the concept of development, adjust the mode of development, especially how to properly handle the relationship between development and environmental protection, tests the wisdom of decision-makers. Starting from solving the problem of environmental squalor and chaos that the masses strongly resent, the "1 million project" selects about 1000,<> administrative villages to carry out comprehensive rectification, and about <>,<> of them into comprehensive well-off demonstration villages, with the "sewage revolution", "garbage revolution" and "toilet revolution" as the starting point, from point to point, to reshape the rural living environment in the province.

Promote the "sewage revolution" to reproduce Jiangnan water towns. Determined to control water pollution and continuously improve the quality of the water environment is a main line to promote the "2004 million projects". Since 2013, Zhejiang Province has carried out in-depth water pollution prevention and control. At the end of 2014, the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Zhejiang Provincial Government promoted the "five-water co-governance" of sewage control, flood prevention, drainage, water supply, and water conservation, taking water control as a breakthrough point and forcing industrial transformation and upgrading. Since 400, Zhejiang has invested more than <> billion yuan to carry out a series of pollution control actions, such as "Qing Three Rivers", "Eradicating Inferior Class V Water" and "Beautiful Rivers and Lakes", so that the vast number of rural areas have become clean and ponds clear.

Pujiang County "controls water with an iron fist", comprehensively rectifies the crystal industry, implements regional planning and access mechanisms for aquaculture, and participates in the elimination of 462 "milk rivers" and 577 "garbage rivers" in the territory, so that Jiangnan water towns can be cleaned up again. The number of local crystal enterprises has decreased from 2,2 to 526, of which more than 400 are clustered in industrial parks.

From opening a small workshop to settling in the industrial park, Zhang Fumin, founder of Zhejiang Pujiang Jingsheng Crystal Co., Ltd., who has been in the industry for more than 30 years, told the "Outlook" newsweek reporter: "Over the years, I have seen the river flow become clearer day by day, and the beautiful Puyang River has returned to clarity. ”

By the end of 2018, Zhejiang planned to retain 100% coverage of rural domestic sewage treatment. At present, Zhejiang has completed the standardized operation and maintenance of 47511,20 rural domestic sewage treatment facilities, achieving full coverage of standardized operation and maintenance of rural domestic sewage treatment facilities with a daily treatment capacity of more than <> tons, and basically eliminating rural inferior Class V small and micro water bodies. Zhejiang took the lead in comprehensively completing the "sewage revolution" nationwide, and rural domestic sewage basically realized that it should be fully paid, collected, treated, and discharged up to standard.

Carry out a "garbage revolution" and turn waste into treasure. In Puyang Village, Tongyuan Town, Haiyan County, Jiaxing City, green and gray garbage cans are placed in front of every household, and green garbage cans are placed in the kitchen. The new fashion of garbage sorting has become a good habit for all villagers.

Guided by reduction, recycling, and harmlessness, Zhejiang continues to carry out the "garbage revolution", gradually establishes an urban and rural domestic waste collection and transportation treatment system of household classification, village collection, and nearby resource classification and treatment, promotes standardized operation and maintenance management, and improves the ability and level of rural domestic waste classification and treatment.

The "garbage revolution" has basically achieved zero growth and zero landfill in rural domestic waste in Zhejiang. By the end of 2022, 1217,63 rural household waste resource treatment sites have been built, with a recycling rate of 100%, and the coverage of resource utilization rate, harmless treatment rate, and garbage classification administrative villages has reached <>%.

Promote the "toilet revolution" and advocate civilized life. In Dachen Village, Qiancang Town, Yongkang City, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, the tourist public toilet called "5th Space" is clean and tidy. The catering vending machines equipped in public toilets, the operation of hardware handicrafts and other tourism commodities, achieved an average monthly income of nearly 3000,<> yuan.

Such public toilets are not uncommon in rural Zhejiang. Over the past 20 years, public toilets in rural Zhejiang have been continuously upgraded. Since 2003, the rural toilet renovation has been promoted in accordance with the progress of about 2000,50 households in 2018,5 villages every year; Since 2020, <>,<> rural public toilets in the province have been renovated and upgraded; In <>, Zhejiang launched a major improvement action for rural public toilet services - Zhejiang's rural public toilets are gradually moving towards convenience, intelligence, humanization, characteristics and standardization.

At present, Zhejiang's rural sanitary toilets and harmless sanitary household toilets have basically achieved full coverage. There are 6,7 rural public toilets built in the province, an average of 3 per administrative village, and the province has achieved full coverage of harmless sanitary toilets in rural areas.

In the past 20 years, the "2022 million projects" have promoted Zhejiang to achieve great changes in mountain and rural areas. By the end of 90, more than 70% of villages in Zhejiang Province have reached the standard of beautiful villages in the new era, and 724 beautiful rural demonstration counties, 743 demonstration townships, 2170 scenic lines, 300,<> characteristic boutique villages, and more than <> million beautiful courtyards have been created.

The faucet leads

Leverage the gear of rural revitalization

Based on the ecology to launch the "Alpine Wild Tea" brand, build an Internet celebrity "old tea shop" in the ancient houses of Heyang, and use what he has learned to help farmers design exhibitions... Summer has arrived, and Chen Shijie, a "agricultural maker" in Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, is busy and happy.

In 2014, Chen Shijie resigned from her stable job in the provincial capital, returned to her hometown to start a business, and established Jinyun County Agricultural Hatching Tea Professional Cooperative and Zhu Zige Family Farm, and established an agricultural cultural tourism industry chain of tea growing, tea making and selling tea with ecology as the symbol. Chen Shijie adopted the forms of share dividends, tea underwriting, unified processing, and profit return to drive local farmers to increase income and become rich. At present, the cooperative grows more than 300 mu of yellow tea base, links more than 50 farmers, and has annual sales of more than 650.<> million yuan.

  在浙江乡村,陈诗洁这样的“农创客”不胜枚举。乡村产业、人才、文化、生态、组织“五个振兴”是一个系统工程,“千万工程”选择以农村人居环境建设为突破口、启动点,撬动了产业兴旺、生态宜居、乡风文明、治理有效、生活富裕的乡村振兴齿轮。

  深挖生态价值,实现富山养山。田园变公园、村庄变景区、农房变客房、村民变股东、资源变资产……生态环境成为资源要素,绿色成为浙江乡村的鲜明发展底色。

  随着“千万工程”的推进,曾靠开石矿、办水泥厂致富的余村村下决心停掉矿山、关掉水泥厂,系统推动复垦复绿、治理水库、改造村容村貌,持续推动乡村产业转型升级。

  “从靠山吃山到富山养山,村里逐步形成了户外拓展、休闲会务、农事体验的休闲旅游产业链,村民在家门口就能拿租金、挣薪金、分股金。”余村村党支部书记汪玉成告诉记者,余村村2022年集体经济收入突破1100万元,经营性收入突破700万元,村民发放分红206万元。

  20年来,浙江广袤乡村逐步打开“绿水青山就是金山银山”生态价值转化通道,“美丽乡村+”农业、文化、教育、旅游、康养、文创等乡村新业态创新发展,农家乐民宿、农家小吃、乡村非遗产品等地方特色乡愁产业蓬勃发展。目前,浙江全省乡村旅游和休闲农业已接待游客3.9亿人次,营业总收入469亿元,从业人员达33.4万人。

  年轻人回流,乡村活力重现。“千万工程”扭转了农村环境污染、空心化等趋势,大量年轻人、资本等发展要素加速流向乡村,全面推进乡村振兴。

  大罗山脚下、始建于清代的山根村,是温州知名的华侨村。前些年,村里农房年久失修,居住条件简陋,年轻人不断外流。

  2017年,山根村在一场轰轰烈烈的旧村改造中迎来“新生”,曾经的“空心村”成了时尚的“艺术村”。山根音乐艺术小村运营负责人徐子惠介绍,秉承保护性开发原则,村庄最大限度地保留了旧村落原始肌理和老建筑历史风貌。

  修旧的同时,山根村引入多元化业态。“百名店主平均年龄33岁,每个人都有自己的创业故事。”徐子惠说,山根村已有118家商户入驻,30多户村民返乡创业,一群“文艺青年”经营着咖啡馆、特色餐厅、创意工坊、精品民宿等,2022年村集体增收200多万元。

  “千万工程”促进乡村更加宜居宜业,为留住原乡人、唤回归乡人、吸引新乡人提供了前提条件。2021年,浙江启动“十万农创客培育工程”,目前当地选择回乡创业创新的大学生农创客数量已超4.7万名。

  提高生活品质,物质富裕精神富足。走进衢州市开化县金星村,映入眼帘的是一个依山傍水的典型江南村落。该村森林覆盖率达87%,空气质量优良率在98%以上。

  2008年,金星村启动集体林权制度改革,将近万亩村集体山林分给各家各户。不少村民在家门口开起农家乐和民宿,足不出村就有稳定收入。

"Ecological construction allows villagers to enjoy a high quality of life at their doorstep." Li Jun, a member of the party branch of Jinxing Village, said that the per capita income of villagers has increased from less than 2006,6000 yuan in 2022 to 42500,<> yuan in <>, and the village has also built a cultural auditorium, a shared book house, and a party building governance hall.

Rural poetic butterfly changes, such stories are everywhere in Zhejiang. After 20 years of extraordinary practice, the "<> Million Project", a people's project that benefits tens of millions of farmers, brings a beautiful ecology, a beautiful economy and a better life to farmers. The concept of ecological civilization has become increasingly deeply rooted in the personal experience of more than <> million people in Zhejiang.

Coordinate urban and rural areas

Consolidate the foundation for common prosperity

Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang Province has promoted the integrated development of urban and rural areas with the "<> million projects", gradually formed a reasonable "city-town-township-village" system with the "<> million projects", gradually formed a reasonable "city-town-township-village" system, and laid a solid foundation for the construction of common prosperity demonstration areas.

Document No. 2023 of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee in <> proposed to lead the construction of livable and workable and beautiful villages with the "<> million projects", combine the improvement of the carrying capacity of the county town with the deepening of the "<> million projects", and improve the level of rural construction in the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

——Benefiting beautiful countryside with urban and rural areas. Walking into Pushan Village, Zhanjia Town, Longyou County, Quzhou City, the exterior walls of each house have unique colorful patterns. The colorful village is nestled in green fields, and the neat village roads and courtyards outline a vibrant landscape.

"Since 2013, our village has established a mountain-sea cooperation twinning relationship with Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou. Xiaoshan District has continued to provide more than 450.<> million yuan in ten years to promote the development of public facilities and industries in the village. Huang Weimin, secretary of the party branch of Pushan Village, said that projects such as the landing of pole lines, façade renovation, road widening and supporting public toilets in the village have benefited from this.

According to data from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Zhejiang Province, over the past 20 years, Zhejiang Province has invested more than 2000 billion yuan in village rectification and beautiful rural construction, established a diversified investment mechanism with government investment guidance, rural collective and peasant input, and active support from social forces.

-- Promoting agriculture through work and developing green industries. "I bought a Mercedes-Benz BMW and drove it in a pile of pig manure" "I smelled pigs and arrived at Qinglian Temple Village" "Passing through our village, I smelled of pig manure on my body" ... Speaking of how heavy the pollution was back then, the villagers of Qinglian Temple Village, Haiyan County, Jiaxing City, remember it vividly.

In 2013, Jiaxing comprehensively carried out a three-year action for the transformation and development of the pig breeding industry with "dismantling violations and reducing quantity" as the core, and issued a series of support policies and rules and regulations to explore the transformation of rural industries with the goal of "changing production and changing industries".

In Zhejiang Qinglian Food Co., Ltd., located in Haiyan County, a mobile phone and a smart screen can manage the whole industrial process of breeding, slaughtering, processing, and sales, subverting people's perception of the pig breeding industry.

"Agricultural production, which used to depend on the sky, now depends on technology." Yao Jiangtao, operation manager of the enterprise breeding business department, said that the traditional aquaculture industry in rural areas has a completely different look.

In the process of promoting the "Ten Million Project", many places in Zhejiang have driven the transformation and upgrading of traditional agriculture with modern industrial ideas, and multi-level coordination of urban and rural industries. With the development of the action of "science and technology into the countryside, funds into the countryside, youth back to the countryside, and rural sages returning to the countryside", the two-way channel of urban and rural elements has gradually opened. At present, Zhejiang has built 800 provincial-level high-level agricultural science and technology demonstration bases, and the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology has reached 66%.

– Promoting each other and advancing together towards common prosperity. In Yaozhuang Township, Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, the boundary between city and countryside is increasingly weakening. More than 7000,70 rural households have "brought land to the city", and the rural household concentration rate has exceeded <>%; Villagers want to read a book, and they can walk a few steps to the library; A series of "happiness projects" such as gymnasiums, cultural and sports exhibition centers, and social welfare and elderly care centers have been landed one after another.

In 2005, villages were connected to roads, in 2008, villages were connected to public transportation, and in 2018, a unified basic medical insurance policy for urban and rural residents was implemented... Basic public services in rural areas have caught up with cities and towns, making Jiaxing farmers proud.

Urban public facilities extend to rural areas, urban public services cover rural areas, urban civilization radiates to rural areas, and various forms of urban and rural development community exploration are carried out in transportation, medical care, culture and other fields... The integration of urban and rural areas in Zhejiang is accelerating.

By the end of 2022, a total of 20511,500 rural cultural auditoriums had been built in Zhejiang, achieving full coverage of administrative villages with more than 25335 people; 15,15 rural library houses have been built, covering all rural library houses in administrative villages in the province; The network layout of five-level public cultural facilities from province to village has become increasingly perfect, and the "<>-minute quality cultural life circle" and "<>-minute civilized practice service circle" cover all urban and rural areas.

Gu Yikang, chief expert of Zhejiang Rural Revitalization Research Institute, believes that in recent years, Zhejiang has taken the "10 million projects" as the starting point to promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, further promoted the construction of common prosperity demonstration areas and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, marking that the "10 million projects" have entered a new stage of high-quality development.

For a long time

Practice "one blueprint to the end"

In 2022, the per capita disposable income of farmers in Keqiao District of Shaoxing City reached 51605,90 yuan, ranking first among 1 counties (cities and districts) in Zhejiang; The income ratio of urban and rural residents dropped to 60.<>, making it one of the most coordinated and balanced counties (cities and districts) in Zhejiang.

Keqiao cadres frankly said that looking back at the extraordinary course of the "20 million project" in the past <> years, this leading project has forced Keqiao textile industry to get rid of the burden of high energy consumption and high emissions, and move towards high-quality development and common prosperity as soon as possible.

To stop the inertia of extensive development and change the mode of economic development, we must pass through the "ideological barrier" and "interest barrier." Adhere to ecological priority and green development, adapt measures to local conditions, scientific planning, step by step, long-term achievement, party building guidance, party and government leadership, people-oriented, joint construction and sharing, from the surface to the inside, shaping the soul... Over the past 20 years, the "<> Million Project" has formed a series of effective practices, laid a solid foundation, leveraged a virtuous circle, and brought far-reaching changes, which have deeply inspired party and government cadres at all levels in Zhejiang.

Top-down organizational mechanism guarantee. In 2003, the construction standards of "2014 million projects" were clearly implemented, provincial and local standards for beautiful villages were formulated in 2018, specifications for the construction of beautiful villages in the new era were issued in 2021, the "2021th Five-Year Plan for Deepening the "2025 Million Projects" to build beautiful villages in the new era (2023-2023) was issued in 2027, and the "Implementation Plan on Improving the Carrying Capacity of County Towns and Deepening the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Rectification" Project (<>-<>)" was issued in <>... Anchoring the "<> million projects", Zhejiang does one thing after another, year after year.

Insist that the main responsible comrades of the provincial party committee personally grasp the implementation of the "10 million projects" deployment, and hold an on-site meeting of the province once a year to provide on-site guidance. This has become the practice of successive Zhejiang Provincial Party Committees. Adhering to the principle of "drawing a blueprint to the end", Zhejiang has formed an organizational mechanism guarantee of "10 million projects" from top to bottom.

The goal is pragmatic, step-by-step, and planning is leading. From 2003 to 2010, he demonstrated and led the comprehensive improvement of the village environment and promoted a more clean and orderly village; From 2011 to 2020, deepen and improve to promote more beautiful and livable countryside; Since 2021, it has been iteratively upgraded, forming a vivid situation of "thousands of villages to the future, ten thousand villages to common prosperity, urban and rural integration to promote integration, and global creation and beauty"... The Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Zhejiang Provincial Government issue an action plan every five years, and an implementation opinion at each stage, formulating solutions to problems that arise in different periods and clarifying work tasks.

Gu Yikang believes that in the 20-year process of promoting the "<> million project", Zhejiang has adopted a pragmatic and gradual path, paying attention to planning first, coordinating historicity and forward-looking, coordinating one-time planning with promoting according to its ability, grasping the relationship between the intensity of rectification, the degree of construction, the speed of promotion, the degree of financial resources and the acceptance of farmers, and does not engage in a thousand villages, does not raise the appetite of the masses, and does not mention the goal of surpassing the development stage. Such working methods have achieved remarkable results.

Highlight the main body of farmers and adhere to the perspective of the masses. The countryside is big, and the money invested may not be able to see the splash; The countryside is poor and has no economic account to calculate returns; Another secret of the continuous promotion of the "20 million project" for <> years lies in not engaging in "political performance projects" and "image projects" and taking the vast number of peasants to live a prosperous and happy life as the starting point and foothold, which has won the support and participation of the masses.

From beautiful countryside to beautiful Zhejiang, and then to explore the road to beautiful China construction, Zhejiang has been making contributions for a long time in the past 20 years.

Yi Lianhong, Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, said that in the next step, Zhejiang will effectively promote the "10 million projects" to deepen and solidify, strive to accelerate the vanguard of urban-rural integrated development, stimulate new momentum for rural revitalization, shape the new temperament of rural style, explore new paths for common prosperity, pay more attention to improving rural infrastructure and public service facilities, promote the civilization of rural style and rural governance, and let the rural people enjoy the new achievements of modernization.
