"Our husband and wife earn nearly 100,000 yuan a year, and the days get better and better." Nyaz Mao Laike is a worker in the animal husbandry base in Keping County, Xinjiang, who previously only relied on two acres of cotton land to maintain his income, and after learning breeding techniques, he had more channels to increase income, and when it came to his future life, he was full of smiles.

In recent years, Keping County has based on the advantages of rich local camel resources, and has taken the development of the camel industry as an important measure to cultivate the development of characteristic industries and increase the income of herders.

Keping is located on the northwest edge of the Tarim Basin, and has been at the forefront of the battle against poverty due to objective factors such as lack of land resources, lack of arable land, serious salinity, and water shortage. In this regard, Keping County, based on the actual situation of the county, solves the outstanding problems of "two worries and three guarantees", resolutely pulls out the roots of poverty, throws off the hat of poverty, focuses on classifying and formulating precise poverty alleviation measures, and walks out of a road out of poverty.

The bread was beaten and sold, and the family income increased

"Now, everyone is thinking about finding work and developing production, not sitting at home waiting for subsidies, and everyone's concepts have changed greatly." Aishanjiang Tursun, a farmer in Towan Bagleg Village, Gezilik Town, Keping County, said that with the help of the Sinopec Northwest Petroleum Bureau's task force in Towan Bagleg Village, Gezilik Town, Keping County, he began to start his own business to fight and sell bread, and now has an income of nearly 10,000 yuan per month.

Towan Bagleg village per capita arable land is small, surplus labor force is large, the village collective income is low, the village team carefully visited and studied, combined with the actual situation of each household to conduct a comprehensive analysis, for each poor household, each poor population tailor-made "one household, one plan, one person one method", to ensure that poverty alleviation measures to every household to the person, to ensure that every household has a way to get rich.

Henisa Khan Yasen of towan Bagleg Village said: "It has been three months since I have been fighting with Aishanjiang, and I have been paid 1200 yuan a month, and my family income has increased, and now almost everyone in the surrounding villages has a way to get rich, and everyone's life is getting better." ”

Keping County organized all townships (towns) and villages (communities) to carry out in-depth discussions on solving "ideological poverty", solidly promoted the support of aspirations and wisdom, gradually emancipated the minds of the poor masses, and gradually established the confidence and determination to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Many women in the village have jobs

Walking into Aksu Xingke Garment Co., Ltd., the sound of hundreds of sewing machines composed a song of "hard work and prosperity" in the workshop. Amanguli Meat zi buried her head in the hem of her pants, worked for 5 years, and her salary has risen to 3,000 yuan per month. "My family has 5 people and 10 acres of land, and now I come out to work, my husband manages the land at home, and our family's annual income is more than 50,000 yuan." She said.

Anipam Mijiti, who entered the factory in the same year as Amanguli Meatzi, is in the village of Yukuzhis in Yulqi Township, and in 3 years she has grown from an apprentice to a workshop director, managing 141 workers. "Many women in our village have jobs, have a stable income, and the living conditions of their families have improved a lot." Anipam Mijiti said.

In addition to employment poverty alleviation, Keping County has determined a batch of transfer employment support, a batch of development industry support, a batch of ecological compensation support, a batch of land clearance and redistribution benefits, a batch of "five batches" of comprehensive social security, and increased health poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation, and infrastructure construction " three intensified" poverty alleviation paths. In view of the lack of development funds and the resulting poverty, implement the policy of poverty alleviation and microcredit, and effectively solve the problem of shortage of funds for poor households. For those who are poor due to illness, the implementation of medical security policies such as "first diagnosis and treatment and then payment" and "one-stop" instant settlement, urban and rural residents' basic medical insurance, major illness insurance, medical assistance protection, supplementary medical insurance and other "four security lines" guarantee reimbursement ratio reached 95%.

In recent years, Keping County has actively explored the deep processing of downstream products of agriculture and animal husbandry, making the modern industry of agriculture and animal husbandry a "new impression of Keping", which not only broadens the channels for farmers to increase income, but also boosts the formation of brand effects of Keping characteristic agricultural products and enters thousands of households.

"Drink sweet water, life is getting better and better"

Water was once the biggest problem restricting the development of Keping County.

Keping County is located in the southern foothills of the Southern Foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, and the area of desert, Gobi and mountainous areas accounts for 72.4% of the total area of Keping County. Similar to the arid climate in most parts of southern Xinjiang, Keping County's annual evaporation is nearly 40 times that of precipitation.

The groundwater and surface water in Keping County have high hardness and mineralization, and sulfate ions and sulfides exceed the standard, which is "brackish water".

For a long time, the contradiction of water shortage has been prominent, the harvest of land rotation crops is low, and the income of the people is limited.

In order to change the status quo, Keping County has made many attempts, in 1995 began more than 20 years of water reform work, in 2016, Keping County has invested the largest investment in urban and rural drinking water safety projects, the construction of the Subash Reservoir, effectively solved the irrigation water problem of 137,000 mu of arable land. From Wensu County, more than 100 kilometers away, the water diversion project for human drinking water safety was completed, ending the history of drinking brackish water in Keping for generations, and the people of the county drank "standard water" and "assured water".

"We drank sweet water and life got better and better." Alimu Jilak, a farmer in the happy village of Achar town in Keping County, said that now that the villagers have developed industries such as chamagu planting, the village has also set up a cooperative to form a unified machine farming, unified planting, unified management, and unified picking, and the yield of Chamagu has also increased.
