On April 10, Chen Xi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, inspected the poverty alleviation work in Taijiang, Guizhou, and paid special visits to four special volunteer teachers, Zhang Chengzhi, Chen Ruixue, Wang Ze and Guo Xiaomeng of the Taijiang Branch of the Zhejiang University Graduate Student Support Group. Chen Xi praised the support group and encouraged them to "make more contributions to the poor people's early education and learning." ”
A month later, Che Jun, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, led a delegation to Guizhou for study and inspection. Accompanied by Sun Zhigang, secretary of the Guizhou Provincial CPC Committee, the inspection teams of the two provinces went to Taijiang NationalIties Middle School in Guizhou Province to learn about the work of poverty alleviation through education, and received this support group for the second time. Che Jun also said that it is very good and meaningful to be able to come here to support teaching.
Received successively by the director of the Central Organization Department and the secretary of the two provincial party committees, this branch group is not ordinary.

In his speech, Che Jun specifically mentioned that "the relationship between Zhejiang University and Guizhou has a long history." In fact, this relationship can be traced back to the anti-war years. In order to avoid the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese invaders in the war, Zhu Kezhen, then the president of Zhejiang University, decided to move west, and the location he chose was Guizhou. As a result, Zhejiang University and Guizhou have formed an indissoluble relationship.
Among his peers, Zhang Chengzhi, the leader of the volunteer mission, was also somewhat different. The governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat ID: Capitalnews) found that Zhang Chengzhi, who was born in 1995, responded to the call of the Zhejiang University Committee of the Communist Youth League during his college years and participated in the poverty alleviation work of Taijiang education. After graduating from undergraduate, he postponed the timetable for graduate school and resolutely went to Guizhou to support teaching.
In May 2017, Zhang Chengzhi was elected as a deputy to the 14th Party Congress of Zhejiang Province. As the youngest party representative in Zhejiang, he was cordially received by Che Jun at that time. At the party congress, he also expressed his views on the contents of the report, such as "building a strong province with qualified personnel" and "coordinating urban and rural development."

In fact, Zhejiang University's education poverty alleviation site is not only in Guizhou. At present, Zhejiang University has set up teaching support points in Zhaojue, Sichuan, Meitan, Taijiang, Yunnan Jingdong and other places, and has sent 19 batches of 226 volunteers to participate in the one-year poverty alleviation and education relay.
The Governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat ID: Capitalnews) noted that in 1998, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Ministry of Education launched the "China Youth Volunteer Poverty Alleviation Relay Program", and many colleges and universities have set up "Postgraduate Support Groups", which have been 20 years now.
Tsinghua University's postgraduate teaching group has been teaching in Tibet, Qinghai, Hunan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places for 20 years, and a total of 322 volunteers have contributed to the development of the central and western regions. In addition to education and teaching, the Tsinghua Branch also launched the "Sun Bath under Mount Everest" project with the Tibet Vocational and Technical School in Shigatse, and built a solar public bath through crowdfunding to provide more than 200 local residents with the opportunity to take a hot bath.
In the past 20 years, the Peking University Graduate Student Support Group has also sent more than 300 volunteers to Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia and other provinces to support teaching, benefiting tens of thousands of local students. In 2014, members of the support group launched the "Words Spread far away from Xinjiang" online education project, which carried out distance Chinese teaching to hundreds of students in several cooperative primary schools in southern Xinjiang.
Going to poor areas to volunteer education has also sharpened a group of young people. The governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat ID: Capitalnews) once introduced that Xu Benyu, who gave up public research to support teaching and won the 2004 Moving China Person of the Year, had served as the deputy secretary of the Hubei Zigui County Party Committee (at the level of a department) last year.
Poverty alleviation work is a systematic project, and the development of industrial poverty alleviation, relocation and poverty alleviation, ecological protection poverty alleviation, development of education and poverty alleviation, etc., are all important links. No matter how poor you are, education cannot be poor, which is the best interpretation of the importance of education to alleviate poverty.
The report of the Nineteenth National Congress proposes to resolutely win the battle against poverty, ensure that by 2020, the rural poor population under China's current standards will achieve poverty alleviation, and all poor counties will remove their hats, solve the overall poverty of the region, and achieve real poverty alleviation and real poverty alleviation.
In 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to all the participating teachers of the Guizhou Training Class of Beijing Normal University in the "National Training Program (2014)" that allowing children in poor areas to receive a good education is an important task for poverty alleviation and development, and also an important way to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
In recent years, party and state leaders have repeatedly encouraged college student groups engaged in "education and poverty alleviation."
On the eve of the "May Fourth" Youth Day in 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to the representatives of the western branch of Hebei Baoding College, encouraging young people to make contributions at the grassroots level and among the people, and write a different and wonderful life in the great practice of realizing the Chinese dream.
In 2013, Premier Li Keqiang replied to the students of the 13th Graduate Student Support Group of the University of Science and Technology of China, encouraging the majority of young students to "experience cast life, dedication reflects value".
The eating habits of "spicy and heavy oil", the humid living environment, and the frequent water and power outages are the "difficulties" that the Zhejiang University Branch Teaching Group often encounters in Jiangtai County. But as Zhang Chengzhi said in an interview, "Closely linking the fate of the individual to the contemporaries, the fate of the nation and the country is the most meaningful footnote to youth!" ”
