The people take food as the sky, which is the first truth in the world. Since March this year, protests have taken place in Cuba, a Central American country close to the United States, because of a shortage of food, which has attracted the attention of the world, and some hostile forces in Cuba have seized the opportunity to stir up trouble and create even greater chaos.
Cuba's lack of food is not due to Cuba's lack of efforts, but to the result of a 60-year economic blockade by the United States, a shortage of agricultural production materials, and backward productive forces; it is reported that Cuba can only produce less than 500,000 tons of rice a year, and less than 20 kilograms of rice per capita.
The neighboring United States, the most developed agricultural country in the world and the largest grain exporter, does not give Cuba even a grain of rice, and has also cracked down on Cuba's grain cultivation through sanctions, with the aim of using grain weapons to subvert Cuba, because Cuba does not listen to the United States and does not agree with US political views.
At the United Nations, Cuba has repeatedly proposed that the United States lift sanctions against Cuba, which has been supported by the majority of member states, but the United States has insisted on not changing its mind and continues to do evil.
What is hateful is that Cuba is clearly the victim and deserves sympathy, but some people who have cultivated American values have turned black and white upside down, made no distinction between right and wrong, and regarded Cuba as the object of accusation, and their values have been deranged to the extreme.
From what happened in Cuba, I remembered the wisdom of the president who always regarded grain as the most important thing, and he led the people to fight heaven and earth, realized the food self-sufficiency of the Chinese, and solved the problem of feeding the Chinese.
The President has many timeless and brilliant insights on food. On January 27, 1957, at a meeting of the secretaries of the provincial, municipal and autonomous regional party committees, the chairman called on the whole party to attach importance to agriculture, saying: "It is very dangerous not to grasp grain production, and one day the world will be in chaos." ”
On April 29, 1959, the chairman wrote an "Intra-Party Correspondence" to the cadres at the six levels of provinces, prefectures, counties, communes, production teams, and production teams. It is important to know that the mainland is a large country with a population of 650 million, and eating is the first major thing. ”
On July 5, 1959, the chairman wrote a comment on the "food problem", saying: "I have food in my hands, I don't panic in my heart, I am down-to-earth, and I am full of joy. ”
Food is not only an economic issue, but also a political issue, a national security issue, and only by firmly grasping food security in our own hands can the people have food to eat, and the country will be "safe", and those who are hostile to themselves will have nothing to do.
