This film takes Jia Changrong and Wang Qiusheng, two poor families and grassroots poverty alleviation workers in Qilan County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province as the shooting objects, and focuses on the changes in the past year, and truly records the arduous process of leading poor households into a new era through relocation of poverty alleviation and relocation in Shuiyuguan Township.
The 52-year-old sheep herder Han Jia Changrong and his 82-year-old mother have been living in poor conditions in the village. In the early years, his wife thought that the village was poor and did not say goodbye, but now Jia Changrong has to take care of his elderly mother alone, and also provide for his son, who is far away in Hebei to go to university. The embarrassment of life has made him want to leave the countryside where he has lived for generations.
66-year-old Wang Qiusheng, his elderly and sick wife, and two grandsons are all poor households in the village, the son works in other places and cannot return home all year round, and the daughter-in-law also leaves the children to leave the country because life in the village is too hard. The old couple relied on a few acres of land in the village to support their two grandchildren in a boarding school more than 20 miles away.
One side of the water and soil cannot support the other side. The relocation of the entire village by the local government is undoubtedly the best solution to solve this problem. As for this policy, some people, like Jia Changrong, are jubilant and respond positively, and they can't wait to leave the rural areas where the natural conditions are extremely harsh, hoping to go to the city to earn more money and get rid of poverty as soon as possible. There are also people like Wang Qiusheng, who are reluctant to leave their homeland, worried that they will have no source of life after moving into the city, and that their lives will be unsustainable......
Every picture and every detail in the film is like a vivid picture, showing the real life of people in poor areas. We saw Jia Changrong and his 82-year-old mother struggling to survive in a harsh village, and the loss of his wife made his life even worse. And Wang Qiusheng's family is also facing many difficulties, the son goes out to work, the daughter-in-law leaves home, and the old couple rely on a few acres of land to make a living. These scenes make us deeply feel the heavy pressure brought about by poverty, and also give us a deeper understanding of the lives of poor families.
However, this film is not only a simple presentation of poor life, but also an in-depth analysis of the great battle of poverty alleviation. Through the implementation of the poverty alleviation policy and the demonstration of the work of the poverty alleviation cadres, we have seen the tremendous efforts made by the party and the government for the happy life of the poor people. One side of the water and soil cannot support the other side, and the relocation of the whole village has become the best way to solve this problem.
The film also shows the achievements of poverty alleviation through the depiction of the lives of Jia Changrong and Wang Qiusheng after the relocation of their families. Jia Changrong found a job in the city, had a stable income, and built up the confidence to start a new family, and Wang Qiusheng's family's income was secured. These changes have made us feel the real changes that poverty alleviation has brought to poor families.
"This Year" truly reflects the efforts and hardships of poverty alleviation cadres rooted in the grassroots from a plain perspective. They have worked tirelessly to find a way out of poverty for poor families, and they are under tremendous pressure. Their dedication and efforts make us full of respect for these cadres who have contributed silently to poverty alleviation.
