Xu Ning (first from right) visits the homes of poor people
"No matter what post you are in or what kind of work you do, you must be worthy of the heavy trust of the organization and the trust of the broad masses of the people." This is the working principle of Xu Ning, director of the Poverty Alleviation and Development and Rural Revitalization Office of Pingshi Town, Tongbai County, Henan Province.
When poverty alleviation was the most urgent, he rose to the challenge, grasped the industry, promoted employment, and strengthened guarantees, and led the masses to get rid of poverty and become rich; during the epidemic prevention and control period, he disregarded his personal safety, was on duty day and night at the card point, and walked into the villages and households in the cold wind to publicize epidemic prevention knowledge; in the front line of flood prevention and rescue, he charged ahead, braved the rain to check hidden dangers, and organized the masses to transfer... As a grassroots cadre, Xu Ning has always insisted on keeping the masses in mind, doing solid work, and doing good things and doing practical things well. In June 2021, he was awarded the title of "Outstanding Communist Party Member of Tongbai County".
The "vanguard" of poverty alleviation
"If you have difficulties, look for Director Xu!" This is a sentence passed down by word of mouth by the people of Beidong Village, Pingshi Town. Everyone knows that there is a town in Beidong Village whose Bao Village cadre is named Xu Ning, and when he has difficulties, he will look for him. In the eyes of the masses, Xu Ning is a good cadre who is as close as his family and the most trustworthy "family member".
Xu Ning (first from the right) entered the household to investigate and understand the needs of the masses
After the battle against poverty began, as the leader of the poverty alleviation responsibility group in Beidong Village, Pingshi Town, in the past 5 years, Xu Ning led the "Three Committees" of the village to strengthen the construction of party organizations and promote economic development, so that all 63 poor households in the village were lifted out of poverty and embarked on the road of moderate prosperity. Walking into the village and entering the household, wading down the river, the family situation of each poor household is a "clear account" in his heart. The peaches planted by the villager Yang Shunming's family are particularly sweet, the daughter of the villager Wu Linyu was admitted to a good university, and the cattle raised by the villager Du Yongchang's family can sell for a good price this year... These, Xu Ning is like a number of family treasures, watching the poor people get rid of poverty and become well-off, his heart is sweeter than eating honey.
The "gatekeeper" on the front line of the "epidemic"
"The interests of the people are above all else, and party members and cadres must rush to the front line when the masses of the people are in need." Xu Ning said. Speaking of the 2020 new crown epidemic prevention and control battle, Xu Ning still remembers it vividly, he returned to work from home on the first day of the New Year, gave up the Spring Festival holiday of family reunion, and threw himself into the front line of the fight against the "epidemic" for the first time. Beidong Village is the "North Gate" that guards Pingshi Town and must be "strictly prevented from importation". Xu Ning led the village "Three Committees" team, day and night on duty at the card point, in the cold wind, walking the village group, into the peasant households "step by step", measuring body temperature, wearing masks "always staring", front-line duty, touching the platoon inspection "in advance". He led the village doctors to visit door to door, repeatedly publicized epidemic prevention measures, and advocated that everyone should not go out unless necessary. Due to proper prevention and control and strong measures, Beidong Village has achieved the epidemic prevention effect of "no diagnosis, no suspicion, and no close connection". In accordance with the requirements for resuming work and production, when the whole town concentrated on transporting the returning migrant workers, Xu Ning took the initiative to ask for help and sent 120 migrant workers in 2 buses and 25 private cars to the relevant enterprises in Guangdong safely.
In 2021, in the face of the new crown epidemic that came back, Xu Ning led the cadres of the "Three Committees" of the village to actively publicize and advocate the vaccination of the masses while once again strictly guarding against death. When there is ideological resistance from the masses, he will go to the door to do work, live far away, he will drive to pick up, to ensure that the people in the jurisdiction should be fully connected, and solidly build a solid immune barrier for epidemic prevention and control.
A must-see "flood prevention propagandist" for every household
In the summer of 2021, sudden heavy rains made the flood control task extremely urgent. Under the unified arrangement of the party committee and government, Xu Ning immediately put into flood prevention inspection, assisted in the production of propaganda slogans, organized propaganda vehicles, and ensured that flood prevention propaganda had no dead ends and full coverage through the linkage of town and village levels. The most common thing for the masses is that Xu Ning inspected the figures of Tang weirs and dangerous bridges barefoot in the rain, and he took the lead in transferring the affected people. When the rain stopped and the water receded, he could not take care of resting, and every household must go to inspect the damage to houses, bridges, roads, and crops, do a good job of statistics, and help the disaster-stricken people to restore production and life as soon as possible. After Xu Ning knew that some of the disaster-stricken people had difficulties in their lives, he paid for the purchase of daily necessities and sent them to his door at his own expense, encouraging the disaster-stricken masses to strengthen their confidence and overcome the difficulties at an early date.
"I want to be an 'old scalper' who serves the people, take root in the countryside, and do my work in the hearts and minds of the masses." Xu Ning said. Keeping in mind the mission of "shouldering a responsibility and guarding a love", adhering to the concept of "rushing ahead in the great war and the great test", and always putting the interests of the people first, Xu Ning practiced the original intention and mission of a communist party member with practical actions, dedicated his youth to the grass-roots frontline, and gave full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of the grassroots frontline party members.
