Preface
Labor creates value, and hard work creates brilliance. However, in this year's May Day Labor Award selection, a thought-provoking phenomenon came to mind - the figure of peasant laborers was impossible to observe. This is not only regrettable, but also makes us reflect: what is the reason for this shortcoming, and how can we regain respect and recognition for the contribution of farmers?
1. Is the lack of peasants in labor awards unintentional or intentional?
Rural areas bear the heavy trust of 500 million children and shoulder the heavy responsibility of national food security. In the trend of the times of advocating diligence and promoting righteousness, the peasant brothers should become the brightest stars. However, in the list of winners of this year's Labor Medal, it is quite surprising that the figure of the peasant model worker has disappeared without a trace.
This fact has aroused questions and reflections among netizens: Why is a huge group of people who account for nearly one-third of the country's population absent from the stage of labor awards? Is it an unintentional omission by the judges, or is it intentional ignorance? Whatever the reason, this is worth pondering.
Since ancient times, great importance has been attached to peasants and rural construction. From Chairman Mao's statement that "without the support of the peasant class, it is impossible to achieve the final victory of the national revolutionary war" to President Xi's "common prosperity is an important feature of Chinese modernization", all demonstrate the great importance attached to the peasant group. However, in real life, the peasant group is still easily ignored by society.
2. Where are the peasant laborers, and why is it difficult for the flower of glory to bloom in Lu Village?
Labor creates value, and dedication creates glory. The May Day Labor Medal is the highest tribute to the hard-working. In this year's list of winners, the figure of peasant laborers is still absent. This cannot help but make people ponder: Why is it difficult for this bouquet of glorious flowers to bloom in the vast rural land?
Perhaps it is because the contributions of farmers are often hidden behind the scenes, silently blooming in the daily cultivation and breeding work. These seemingly ordinary labors are the foundation of the country's lights. But there are always people who take it for granted and ignore the hard work of the farmers.
Perhaps due to the remoteness of rural areas, it is difficult for technology and new media to fully extend their tentacles. Farmers' efforts are often silent, and it is difficult to express themselves through new media channels, and it is easy to be ignored in this era of glimpses.
Perhaps the most fundamental thing is that our society as a whole still does not pay enough attention to rural areas, agricultural fields, and peasant groups. We fail to show enough respect and care to see their value and weight.
But it is undeniable that the peasant laborers are the loveliest laborers in this land of China. They have fed hundreds of millions of people with their industrious hands and supported the backbone of the Chinese nation with solid shoulders. Therefore, May Day, a festival for workers, should also belong to them. They should be recorded in the annals of history and respected and praised by society, just like other workers.
Only by establishing this concept and viewpoint can various policies and plans benefiting the rural areas truly take root, let the sunshine and air fully spray every inch of the hot soil in the countryside, and let the halo of labor envelop every hard-working farmer.
Only in this way can the efforts and contributions of peasant laborers be respected and recognized in this great era. Only the flower of glory can bloom in every corner of the motherland.
Thirdly, the State attaches importance to rural workers
Although there may be omissions in the selection of the May 1st Labor Award, the care and attention of the party and the state to the peasant groups have never wavered. From the central government to the localities, from policies to funds, all embody the ardent expectations and deep concern for the vast number of peasants.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that we must focus on solving the "three rural" problems, so that the majority of farmers have more sense of gain. This has become the top priority of the party's governance of the country. The introduction of the rural revitalization strategy is a concentrated embodiment of this determination. Through the key deployment of industrial prosperity, ecological livability, rural governance, cultural inheritance, etc., we will strive to make agriculture a promising industry, let farmers have a decent life, and make the countryside a beautiful home suitable for living and working.
Policies and measures to benefit farmers and the people have continued to intensify: abolishing agricultural taxes, raising farmers' incomes, increasing fiscal transfer payments, and reducing farmers' burdens...... Modern rural communities have sprung up from the ground, and network communication infrastructure has paved the way for villages...... The original intention of all this is to make the lives of peasant laborers better and better, and to make the countryside a space for Chinese-style modernization.
We must clearly recognize the fact that peasant laborers are an indispensable force for builders. From the May Fourth Movement to the birth of New China, and then to the reform and opening up, all of them are inseparable from the silent hard work of farmers. Their diligent figures have given birth to the steady rise of the motherland.
Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the peasant groups, and objectively, understand and actively support their hard work. Let rural workers also share the fruits and glory of this era, and obtain their own dignity and pride.
We call on all sectors of society to pay more attention to rural development and respect the labor of farmers. I believe that as long as we work hand in hand and work with one heart and one mind, we will let the banner of diligence and glory fly high on the land of the motherland forever, and we will also let the peasant workers always become an indispensable and powerful support for the important development of the party and the country!
Fourth, revive the glory and let the peasant labor bloom in the sun
It is difficult to shake the hustle and bustle, and it is very majestic but can bathe in the spring breeze. It is true that there is some bias and regret in the selection of the May Day Labor Medal, but this is not a reason for us to stop, but should be turned into a new opportunity to forge ahead.
Labor is sacred and glorious, regardless of occupation or region. The rumbling of machines and the sweeping of hoes, the study of scholars and the building of craftsmen, the cultivation of farmers and the mining of miners, all sing the praises of industriousness and dedication. However, it is undeniable that in the applause of chasing light, the figure of peasant laborers is indeed drifting away.
Farming is the most basic lifeblood of a country. Who got up at dawn and worked hard? Who was still scarred on the earth when the sun was setting? It was these obscure peasant laborers who, with their own hands and sweat, filled the rice bowls of hundreds of millions of people with the background of affluence.
They have worked tirelessly to safeguard the motherland's food security and sincerely contributed to the country's modernization. However, the great power of the world is often only exchanged for inconspicuous attention, and even if there is the title of model worker, there is rarely the opportunity to become a national model worker.
Once upon a time, agriculture was the lifeblood of the motherland. After decades of development and transformation, industry has taken off and science and technology have risen, but agriculture is still our solid foundation. Therefore, we should correct this kind of forgetting and ignoring the contributions of the peasant groups, and give the peasant friends a more noble status.
When selecting labor models, we should no longer carve a boat for a sword, but only yearn for and pursue large-scale landmark projects. We should use a pair of discerning eyes to look at the industrious figures hidden deep in the fields, and feel their sweat flowing in the soil.
Let us call for reform and innovation, so that the peasant groups can shine in the sun. Let their contributions finally get the praise and recognition they deserve. Only in this way can the great tree of the Chinese nation have deep roots and flourish.
Fifth, a hundred schools of thought contend, build consensus, and justify the name of peasant labor
There are indeed different voices in society about the lack of peasant representatives in the May Day Labor Award. This kind of heated discussion and pluralistic views is a vivid portrayal of the public opinion ecology of our time. As the mouthpiece of the Party, we should draw on the wisdom of all parties with an inclusive and open mind, resolve differences, and build consensus.
The reform of the award mechanism cannot be achieved overnight, and requires gradual and persistent unremitting efforts. This is indeed a long process that requires the participation of the whole society. We need to be patient and wait for the results, but at the same time, we must also push and accelerate with actions.
Industriousness is commendable, but the degree of contribution is not a level. The nature of the work performed by rural and urban workers is different, and the forms of contribution to the country and society are naturally different. We should not oppose the two, but should treat and respect every kind of labor equally in the spirit of "a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend".
Some netizens emphasized the need to distinguish between personal labor and contribution to the country. It is certainly respectable for individual farmers to work for their livelihoods, but those who have truly made meritorious contributions and made outstanding contributions should be awarded high honors. This view seems reasonable, but there is also a certain one-sidedness. The peasant masses are the whole of the individuals, and it is the industriousness of countless individuals that has created the steady progress of our country.
It is gratifying that most netizens said that they will definitely pay attention to and improve it in this process. With regard to major social issues, we have always listened to the opinions of the masses with an open mind, and models will naturally treat them fairly. This is no longer an empty promise, but an idea rooted in our mass line.
Regardless of the differences and noise, what matters is that we move wisely towards ultimate unity. As the party's propaganda front, we must guide this fierce struggle of public opinion to develop in a positive direction, disseminate correct values, gather the positive energy of the whole society, and stride forward toward a common goal. Peasant laborers should justifiably obtain the high honor and courtesy they deserve, which is a great cause of pursuing fairness and justice, and it is also the ultimate pursuit of our generation!
epilogue
