Opinions on the Implementation of the Rural Toilet Revolution"

If China wants beauty, the countryside must be beautiful. The toilet problem is not only related to the improvement of the appearance of the village, but also the improvement of the quality of life of the broad masses of the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions on the in-depth promotion of the rural toilet revolution, stressing that during the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we must continue to regard the rural toilet revolution as an important task of rural revitalization, give play to the role of the main body of farmers, pay attention to local conditions, scientific guidance, adhere to the principle of subordinating quantity to quality, progress to practical results, seek good and not seek speed, resolutely oppose labor and money, engage in formal appearances, and advance in a down-to-earth manner.

The avenue is simple, and the hard work is essential. Since 2018, a "toilet revolution" has continued to advance in Changbai. According to November 2020 data, 430 toilets have been promoted in Changchun City, Jilin Province, and 217,000 farmers have used new toilets. By the end of last year, the national rural sanitation toilet penetration rate exceeded 65%. Taking this as a microcosm, in the past three years since the work of rural human settlements was carried out, the appearance of villages has been significantly improved, which has not only brought health and happiness to the lives of farmers, but also brought a new atmosphere and new outlook to the countryside.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and dripping stones are not a day's work." Improving the living environment in rural areas requires long-term achievements. The Standing Committee of the Jilin Provincial CPC Committee stressed that it is necessary to persist in taking the rural toilet revolution as an important political task, as an important part of promoting rural revitalization and accelerating the realization of agricultural and rural modernization, fully listen to the opinions of farmers, respect the wishes of farmers, persist in proceeding from reality in everything, study the mode of toilet improvement according to local conditions, scientifically set a promotion plan, and ensure that the effective implementation of the rural toilet revolution can improve the rural appearance, enhance the well-being of farmers, and promote agricultural development.

The achievements are worthy of recognition, and the future needs to be looked forward to. For example, toilet renovation should be both used and well managed. This requires starting from the actual situation in various places, strengthening the construction of a supply system with extensive participation of multiple subjects, flexible methods and efficient operation, and improving the long-term mechanism for toilet construction and management. At the same time, we must adhere to the concept of green development, and adhere to the simultaneous promotion of toilet transformation, water supply security and sewage treatment. We must maintain the strategic determination to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, do a good job in the toilet revolution, and continue to promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

The environment is the people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is also happiness. Improving the living environment in rural areas and building beautiful and livable villages is related to the overall situation of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the fundamental well-being of the vast number of peasants, and the civilization and harmony of rural society. The previous first meeting of the 19th Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform has deliberated and adopted the "Three-Year Action Plan for the Improvement of Rural Human Settlements", which clarifies the main direction and goal of rural human settlements work. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it is necessary to improve the relevant mechanisms for farmers to participate in the governance of human settlements, so as to make the living environment more beautiful and create a better life. in Linxi
