"It is a supreme honor to be able to represent the advanced individuals in the national poverty alleviation to accept the award from the national leaders." This honor not only belongs to me personally, but also belongs to all the villagers of Crooked Willow Village, and belongs to all leaders and friends at all levels who care about and support the development of Crooked Willow Village! On February 25, Song Rui, who was commended as an advanced individual in the national poverty alleviation at the just-concluded national poverty alleviation summary and commendation conference, was full of passion, "I have the confidence to work with the villagers to build Crooked Willow Village into a pilot village for rural revitalization, so that the 'small village avenue' will become wider and wider!" ”
This is another honor won by Song Rui after being awarded the "National Poverty Alleviation Award Contribution Award" in 2018.
Song Rui, deserves this lofty honor——
Since 2012, she has been stationed in the village for four rounds and adhered to it for nine years, playing the role of the first secretary of the village as a "sharp soldier" in the front line of poverty alleviation, and embarking on a road of "party building leadership, cultural support, moral education, industrial development, and poverty alleviation".
The former "provincial-level poor villages" with garbage walled villages, lack of filial piety, and constant fighting have become today's "Chinese Filial Piety Demonstration Village", "National Rural Governance Demonstration Village", "Promoting Chinese Filial Piety Demonstration Base", "Accurate Poverty Alleviation Recommendation Case", "Henan Rural Tourism Characteristic Village"...
In October 2012, Song Rui was sent by the Party Group of the Henan Investigation Corps of the National Bureau of Statistics to Wanliushu Village as the leader of the poverty alleviation task force.
At that time, Crooked Willow Village was known as a "poor and chaotic village". One thing is the most telling: when the first poverty alleviation fund she won for the village came down, the 400,000 yuan of scientific and technological poverty alleviation funds were not received, and the villagers said: "Just give money, let us plant, let us raise, we will not." ”
Spiritual poverty is worse than material poverty! Poverty alleviation must first help the heart and the will!
Starting from changing the appearance of the village, Song Rui led the village cadres and volunteers to walk through the ditches and ridges of 14 villager groups, concentrated on attacking the strongholds for more than 20 days, and pulled away more than 100 truckloads of garbage. Looking at the new-looking home, the villagers smiled heartily.
After the victory of the first battle, Song Rui opened the Dexiao Lecture Hall again.
From the beginning of handing out gifts to attract villagers to attend the lectures, to the later everyone grabbed seats to listen to the lectures. People's hearts have awakened, the villagers have changed, the village style has been corrected, and the core values of socialism have become a good way for the people to live.
Luo Tengjun, a poor household, quit his addiction to alcohol and branding, and is determined to set a good example for his children and grandchildren. He went to work in the village enterprise, and his wife opened a farmhouse restaurant at home, and the family's annual income exceeded 70,000 yuan, and the days became more and more prosperous.
People's hearts change, miracles appear, villagers are diligent and courteous, and the whole village is full of warmth and happiness.
Plant the plane tree and attract the phoenix. The transformation of Bent Willow Village attracted 7 enterprises to invest in the village, forming a village-level poverty alleviation industrial park. Villagers can go to work at the doorstep of their homes and become industrial workers. The per capita annual net income of the village increased from more than 6,700 yuan in 2016 to 12,780 yuan in 2019.
The villagers were happy and spontaneously set up a song and dance troupe, and they created dozens of programs such as "Holding a Hoe and Heart to the Party" and "Accurate Poverty Alleviation Is Really Good", praising the motherland and thanking the party for its good policies.
The village socialist core values and the people's good living method propaganda group drove buses and mobile stage cars to preach their happiness and poverty alleviation stories in the province.
Song Rui hit the iron while it was hot and mobilized 51 villagers to build a filial piety room with the help of surplus housing.
With filial piety and home, with filial piety, Bent Willow Village ushered in a new era of development... Leaders of more than 360 counties and townships across the country led teams to visit and study in the villages. Wanliushu Village became a training base for party members and cadres in Henan Province. Song Rui has given more than 200 lectures on cultural self-confidence and rural revitalization, and has been viewed more than 100 million times on the Internet.
In 2015, Wanliushu Village as a whole was lifted out of poverty, and Song Rui's first round of stationing in the village also expired. Faced with a situation that had just improved, she gave up returning to the city. In 2017, when news spread that she was about to return to Zheng to work after her second term expired, the villagers cried and she chose to stay. At the end of 2019, the first secretary of the province stationed in the village rotated for the third time, in order to make the "crooked willow experience" radiation drive more villages to embark on the road of "cultural self-confidence and rural revitalization", she once again took the bent willow village as her home... Four rounds of stationing in the village, each time facing a dilemma. But every time she finally chose Crooked Willow Village, chose the villagers, but failed the relatives who were waiting for her. The villagers all said that Song Rui was the savior and lucky star of the party.
In 2019, the long-form reportage "Xiaocun Avenue", which reflects the deeds of Song Rui and the transformation of Crooked Willow Village, was published, and the Organization Department of the Henan Provincial Party Committee issued it as a bibliography on the theme of "not forgetting the original heart and keeping the mission in mind" and distributed it to 18,000 newly assigned first secretaries of the village.
On June 28, 2019, at the special briefing meeting on "The Story of the Communist Party of China - The Practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era in Henan", Sarangi, the national executive secretary of the China-Africa Solidarity Movement and former prime minister of the government, was deeply moved by Song Rui's story. He praised the cpc's grass-roots party organizations for playing a very crucial and powerful role in rural revitalization.
The inscription of "Little Village Avenue" reads: "What is the original intention not to forget the original heart, to remember the mission? What is not afraid of sacrifice, infinite loyalty? What is it to be concerned about the people and firm in faith? In the battle against poverty, which did not see the smoke of gunfire, Comrade Song Rui, the first secretary of the village, was the communist party member who bravely charged! This is an objective and pertinent evaluation of Song Rui.
"One day I will leave Crooked Willow Village, my second hometown linked by blood in this life, and leave the villagers I have fought together for 9 years, but my heart will always remain in this land and fight with the villagers!" 」 At the end of the interview, Song Rui said emotionally.
