📍 The Cai wenming family of Duan Village, Fenxi County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province
"It feels like a relative." "Yang Qi" Cai Wenming recalled the scene when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited before the Spring Festival, still with a look of excitement, "Never thought that the general secretary would come to our small ravine." ”
Cai Wenming, 62, a well-known sheep breeding professional household in Duan Village, Sangnian Town, Fenxi County, Shanxi Province, was originally an old Cai who was a poor household in Lika, who began to raise sheep in 2014 and took off the hat of a poor household by raising sheep at the end of 2016.
On January 26, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was conducting research in Linfen City, Shanxi Province, braved the snow to come to Duan Village, Sangnian Town, Fenxi County, to inspect the local consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements, continue to promote rural revitalization, strengthen grass-roots party building, and visit Cai Wenming's family.
I didn't expect the general secretary to come to our little ravine
"Hello General Secretary, go to the ravine to see us in the snow and ice." After many days, Cai Wenming still clearly remembers the first words he said when he met the general secretary, "The general secretary saw our family, smiled and said: I came to see you, and everyone nagged." The general secretary's words made Cai Wenming feel warm and kind.
The spacious and tidy bungalow courtyard, illuminated by the golden colored porcelain "Fu" character on the wall, the two hoards of golden corn particles on the west side of the courtyard are full, and the two long braids of garlic hang low on the side of the courtyard wall, a farmer's harvest atmosphere. The big red lanterns swaying with the wind on both sides of the courtyard door and the exquisitely designed paper-cut window flowers on the glass of the room reflect the strong New Year's flavor.
While talking, the general secretary walked into the kitchen of Cai Wenming's house.
The cauldron on the stove was steaming hot, and the meat in the house was overflowing. On the board are oil cakes ready to be cooked, and on the side are prepared steamed buns, braised pork, crispy meat, balls, hemp leaves...
"The general secretary saw the oil cake on the board and asked what kind of noodles were made, I said soft rice noodles, and the general secretary asked if it was millet noodles." Cai Wenming paused slightly, and replied that it was millet noodles, "I was a little surprised to hear the general secretary directly say the name of the grain. I really didn't expect him to be so familiar with rural life. ”
"The general secretary saw the heat steaming on the stove, lifted the lid of the pot and asked what kind of meat was stewed, and I told the general secretary that the stew was lamb."
At the end of the kitchen is the storage room on the left.
In the pantry, cabbage, turnips, green onions... Vegetables grown and stored at home, and newly purchased New Year goods are neatly stacked.
"The general secretary pointed to the walnuts on the ground and asked me if it was my own walnut tree, and I said yes." With the conversation with the general secretary, Cai Wenming's nervous heart slowly relaxed, "The general secretary asked very carefully, and he was very concerned about the details of our people's lives. ”
Coming out of the kitchen to the main house next door, the general secretary and Cai Wenming's family pulled up the family.
"What is the structure of the house", "Did anyone in the village collapse during the flood last year", "Is it convenient to draft water", "Where does the water source come from"... Cai Wenming answered the questions of concern of the general secretary in detail.
Cai Wenming told the general secretary that around 2007, the villagers of Duancun villages moved from the old village under the slope to the current new village. After the relocation, with the help of the government, his family built five new brick and concrete houses. "The houses in the new village are very safe, in last year's flood, there were no collapses, there were collapsed houses in the old village, and the government has carried out unified registration and resettlement."
"Before the relocation, it was very difficult to draft water, and in the past, the whole village went to a long distance to fetch water and queued up. Sometimes you can't pick up a load of water in a day. "Before and after the relocation, what Cai Wenming felt the most was the change in draft." Now, as soon as the faucet twists, the water rushes and comes. ”
In Cai Wenming's house, boxes for clothes, noodle jars for rice noodles... Eating, wearing, living and traveling, the general secretary is concerned about it, and asks in detail one by one.
Cai Wenming told the general secretary that now the water, electricity, and transportation in the village are very good, and everyone has something to do and an income. "It's also much easier to cultivate land, and it's a tricycle to pull agricultural materials and do farm work."
"We have caught up with the good times, and we are all thanks to the blessings of the Communist Party and the general secretary." Old Cai's simple words spoke his heart.
"The Communist Party is all about doing things for the people, that is, to make the people's lives better day by day, and to live better and better every year." The general secretary said.
During the conversation, Cai Wenming's granddaughter, who was less than one year old, cried out excitedly in her mother's arms. "It sounds so bright!" The general secretary's words made everyone laugh.
"How many sheep are raised?" What about sheep prices this year? How much can I earn? After understanding the changes in food, clothing, housing and transportation, General Secretary Xi Jinping inquired in detail about the income of Cai Wenming's family.
Before raising sheep in 2014, Cai Wenming had gone to coal mines and sold sugar gourds, but he still couldn't make ends meet every year. He told the general secretary that with the help of the government, his sheep have now grown to more than 90. "Cut the flock in the spring, sell meat in the winter." In 2021, the income of sheep raising will be more than 40,000 yuan. My wife and I also planted 10 acres of land, all of which planted corn, which can produce 1,000 catties per acre, mainly for sheep as feed. I also told the general secretary that 3 lambs had just been added a few days ago. Speaking of the changes in the family, old Cai was full of smiles.
"What does my son do?" The general secretary turned his gaze to Cai Jin, the son of old Cai. Cai Jin, 30, told the general secretary that he used to do tuina in Zhejiang. This year, I plan to return to Fenxi County and open a massage shop by myself.
The general secretary encouraged him: "Very good, this is a craft. ”
In front of the sheep pen at the entrance of Cai Wenming's small courtyard, the general secretary inspected in detail the sheep raised by old Cai. "The general secretary also asked me what breed the sheep were, which one was the head sheep, and how old they were."
The general secretary was very happy to see that Cai Wenming's family had become rich by raising sheep to get rid of poverty and get richer, and their lives were getting better and better.
Industry prosperity, the people are rich, the countryside is positive
Fenxi County is one of the main battlefields for poverty alleviation in Shanxi Province, and belongs to the former Luliang Mountain Area concentrated in contiguous areas of extreme poverty.
Duan Village, Mengnian Town, Fenxi County, where Cai Wenming is located, has a population of 1627 people, and in 2014, there were 275 poor households in the village. Through diversified development such as planting, aquaculture, forest fruits, and photovoltaic industries, the entire village was lifted out of poverty in December 2019. In 2021, the per capita disposable income of farmers in the village will reach 12,000 yuan.
On the afternoon of January 26, Li Jiali, secretary of the party branch of Duancun Village, reported in detail to General Secretary Xi Jinping on the consolidation and expansion of the results of poverty alleviation in the village, the continuous promotion of rural revitalization, and the strengthening of grass-roots party building.
"The general secretary is particularly concerned about preventing the return to poverty." Li Jiali recalled that at the village convenience service center, General Secretary Xi Jinping stopped in front of a "dynamic monitoring and assistance combat map to prevent returning to poverty".
This record detailed and dynamically updated "operational map" clearly lists the list of 16 unstable households in the village and marginal households that are vulnerable to poverty, and the monitoring and identification time, risk classification, support responsible person, assistance measures, and risk lifting time of each household are clear at a glance.
The general secretary paid special attention to the 12 support measures in the picture, and also asked in detail how to buy the anti-poverty liability insurance. How much? How many PV revenue rescues in a year? ”
"I replied that the anti-poverty liability insurance is paid by the government for the poverty alleviation households, 15 yuan and 8 jiao per person per year." Li Jiali told the general secretary that the village collective has a 100-kilowatt photovoltaic power station, which earned 120,000 yuan last year, and 70% of it was used for poverty alleviation households.
"The general secretary also asked in detail what the 'Fenxi anti-poverty treasure' in the support measures is, and under what circumstances can this help be enjoyed." Li Jiali reported to the general secretary that the "Fenxi Anti-Poverty Treasure" is a relief fund jointly established by the help unit, the county government and social caring people, benefiting all peasant households and ensuring the return to poverty due to housing due to etiology. "In addition to medical reimbursement and major illness relief, we carry out-of-pocket subsidies for the remaining out-of-pocket payments."
"The general secretary was very happy after listening to the report and said: 'Very good, through the policy bottom, a long-term mechanism has been established.'"
Li Jiali told the China Women's Daily all-media reporter that after poverty alleviation, Duan Cun took the consolidation of the results of poverty alleviation as the top priority. "Early detection and early assistance for possible risk points, in accordance with the principle of what is missing to make up for what, through a series of targeted assistance measures such as medical assistance, industrial development, and employment of migrant workers, gradually and steadily remove risks, and long-term follow-up and monitoring." Of the 16 unstable households in the village, 15 have been lifted at risk, and one is still under monitoring. ”
During the Spring Festival, the villagers' cultural square was lined with red lanterns, and the villagers played mighty gongs and drums and twisted the rice songs.
"At that time, we were rehearsing a program in the cultural square, and when we saw the general secretary, everyone cheered." Recalling the scene when the general secretary visited on the afternoon of January 26, Wang Huili, a member of the Weifeng Gong and Drum Team, is still unable to hide his excitement, "Everyone wants to show the spirit of the people in Duancun to get rid of poverty and get rich and live a good life to the general secretary." ”
"Mighty gongs and drums, good mighty!" On the afternoon of January 26, Wang Huili and his teammates won the enthusiastic praise of the general secretary and also attracted a burst of cheers.
In the villagers' cultural square, General Secretary Xi Jinping extended good New Year greetings to the people of all ethnic groups across the country, to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese compatriots, wishing everyone good health, smooth work, happy family and auspicious Year of the Tiger! I wish the great motherland splendid mountains and rivers, smooth wind and rain, national peace and security, prosperity and strength!
Outside the doors of many families in Duan Village, various honor plaques are very conspicuous. Outside the main door of Cai Wenming's house, there is a sign of "Ten Stars Created Star Household".
"Now that the village has been lifted out of poverty, everyone's pursuit of spiritual civilization is more obvious." Wang Xueling, chairman of the Fenxi County Women's Federation, told reporters that under the impetus of the All-China Women's Federation and the Provincial and Municipal Women's Federations, activities such as the construction of "beautiful courtyards" and the creation of civilized families in Fenxi County are being promoted in an orderly manner. "In the village, there is not only a women's mighty gong and drum team, but also a sunset red dance team. In today's Duan Village, small illnesses do not leave the village, housing is guaranteed, employment has a way, difficulties have help, the industry is prosperous, the people are rich, and the township style is positive. ”
"Connecting rural revitalization ultimately depends on industry and employment, and in the next step, we will vigorously develop the planting and breeding industries on the basis of continuing to improve the monitoring system to prevent returning to poverty, and increase the income of the masses by strengthening skills training and guiding migrant workers." Li Jiali said that the village intends to expand the existing cattle farm to 100 heads and build 8 new greenhouses for the cultivation of bisporus mushrooms, and strive to reach more than 250,000 yuan in the village's collective economy by the end of the year. "Strive to build a rural revitalization demonstration village with thriving industry, ecological livability, civilized rural style, effective governance, and affluent life."
Journalist's Note
The "bellwether" of rural revitalization
□ Jiang Junqi
"The Communist Party is all about doing things for the people, that is, to make the people's lives better day by day, and to live better and better every year." Cai Wenming remembered this sentence of the general secretary deeply.
Because there is no technology, Cai Wenming, who has worked in coal kilns and sold sugar gourds, did not start raising sheep until 2014 with the help of the government. With the support of policies such as discounted interest loans, the old Cai family spent more than two years to get rid of poverty.
"I'm a shepherd and know that without a 'bellwether' flock is a mess. The Communist Party is the 'bellwether' of our country, the general secretary is the 'bellwether' of our party, and the party members and cadres at all levels are the 'bellwethers' cultivated by the party to lead us out of poverty and become rich. Cai Wenming said that from the previous "hard days" to the current "good days", it is all a blessing for the Communist Party.
During the interview, Li Jiali, secretary of the village party branch, has been using the telephone to coordinate all the work in the village. From time to time, villagers inquire and handle various affairs. After the first ten o'clock of the Chinese New Year, Li Jiali finished her day's work and sent a circle of friends to "finish work".
In fact, in the battle against poverty, thousands of grassroots party members and cadres are like Li Jiali, playing the role of "bellwether". It is they who have won a comprehensive victory in poverty alleviation.
"Letting the masses of the people live a happy life is the persistent pursuit of our party for a hundred years, and we must not forget our original intentions, keep our mission firmly in mind, and work from generation to generation." Poverty alleviation is not the end, but the starting point of a new life and a new struggle. In the new journey of rural revitalization, "whether the team is strong or not depends on the leader."
"Qunfang Tuyan Putian celebrates the good spring light, and the people often cherish the party and the deep roots" at the gate of Cai Wenming's home, which shows the true voice of the villagers who won the battle against poverty and continued the revitalization of the countryside under the leadership of the party. Cai Wenming said that now that he has lifted himself out of poverty, "I hope that I can also be a 'bellwether' in the future and drive more villagers to move forward on the road to prosperity."
