At the "representative channel" of the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, Zou Bin, a "post-95" construction worker from Hunan, was calm and calm in the face of the media camera.
The young NPC deputy was an ordinary mason. Born in a rural family in Xinhua County, Hunan Province, he began his working career before finishing junior high school, and mortar, picking up mud and sand, moving bricks... Zou Bin"'s "open and hanging" starting point of life is ordinary and ordinary.
Change stems from his strong desire not to settle for mediocrity. With the strength of not compromising and not accepting defeat, Zou Bin adhered to strict requirements and high standards in his work, and won the masonry project winner award in the 43rd WorldSkills Competition, achieving China's breakthrough of zero in this award, and creating a classic sample of the "counterattack" of the farmer's baby.
The new era is the era of the strivers. Self-confidence, self-improvement, integrity and innovation, entering a new era, the Chinese Communists continue to open up the future, toward the second centenary goal of comprehensively building a socialist modern power, and send out a strong voice of the times of continuous struggle.

Hard work creates a miracle of poverty reduction
Tianxi Village was once the village with the largest number of poor people in Liuyang City, Hunan Province, and the incidence of poverty was once close to 30%. After the battle against poverty began, the two committees of the village branch anchored the hope of poverty alleviation and the development of rural tourism.
At that time, Tianxi Village was poor and white, and the village collective could not come up with start-up funds; to win support from the superiors, it was far from quenching the thirst of the near water. What to do? Li Jihuang, general secretary of the village party branch, said that the two committees of the village party branch thought of crowdfunding and mobilized villagers to join in and raise funds.
The hearts of the people are united, and Tarzan moves. In August 2015, the start-up fund of 1.32 million yuan from the first phase of Tianxi Village was in place, and the two committees of the village branch led the people of the village to work feverishly. Clean up the river, remove the garbage, dismantle the private buildings, restore the ancient trails along the river...
Soon, the appearance of Tianxi Village was renewed. With the improvement of tourism infrastructure and the increasingly rich format of "rural tourism", Tianxi Village has won the titles of "Key Rural Tourism Village of Hunan Province" and "Demonstration Village of Culture and Tourism Poverty Alleviation in Hunan Province".
Without waiting for it, the cadres and groups worked side by side to turn green waters and green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains, and poor villages got rid of generations of poverty, interpreting a simple but profound truth: a good life is done.
Long Xianlan, 33, a villager in Eighteen-Hole Village, Huayuan County, Hunan's Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, was originally destitute and a "lazy man" in the eyes of his neighbors. With the help of the poverty alleviation team, he mustered up the vigor and beekeeping to do a good job, not only to get rid of poverty, but also to drive his neighbors out of poverty and become rich.
Eight years ago, the per capita annual income of Eighteen-Hole Village was 1668 yuan, and nearly 60% of the villagers lived below the poverty line. In 2020, the local per capita income increased to 18,369 yuan, 11 times that of 2013.
Not only in Tianxi Village, Eighteen-Hole Village. Mao Xianglin, secretary of the party branch of Xiazhuang Village in Zhuxian Township, Wushan County, Chongqing City, who led the villagers to carve out a road leading to the outside world on the cliff for 7 years, Zhang Shundong, a villager of the Basho Group in Pingzi Village, Wulong Town, Dongchuan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, whose life was frozen in 30 years, Huang Wenxiu, a college student who returned to his hometown at the age of 30, vigorously promoted the development of the "Yanling Yellow Peach" industry, and died suddenly on the front line of poverty alleviation.
Countless strivers have carried forward the spirit of poverty alleviation and jointly created a miracle in the history of human poverty reduction. In the past eight years, on the battlefield of poverty alleviation throughout the north and south of the great river, countless party members and cadres have gone to the mission with enthusiasm and fulfilled their promises with actions. Their self-improvement spirit of fighting steadily and for a long time, and creating a happy life with their hands has become a common practice.
Stand up for the responsibility of the country
In late July, the Delta strain struck, and a new round of new crown pneumonia appeared in Zhangjiajie, a world famous tourist city, which affected the nerves of countless people at home and abroad.
The epidemic is urgent! On the afternoon of August 3, Zhangjiajie announced: From now on, all residents, tourists and other personnel in Zhangjiajie are not allowed to leave...
On the same night, more than 300 kilometers away in Changsha, Hunan Province, a medical team of 200 people for nucleic acid testing and sampling quickly assembled. The next day, they marched retrograde to Zhangjiajie to participate in reinforcements to fight the epidemic.
"When the party and the people need us, we have the responsibility and obligation to stand up." In the team, Dr. Li Dongjie, the leader of the medical team of Xiangya Hospital and the International Medical Department, has just finished a one-month fever diagnosis work and has once again rushed to the front line.
From angels dressed in white to soldiers of the people, from scientific researchers to community workers, from volunteers to project builders, from the elderly to the "post-90s" and "post-00s" young generations, countless people have gone to the mission with their lives, protected the lives of the people with their loved ones, and built an iron wall to protect life, vividly demonstrating the great anti-epidemic spirit.
During the flood control and flood control period in 2020, Chaohu City, Anhui Province, has not encountered a historical high water level for 150 years. Chen Lu, a 36-year-old political instructor of the Lujiang County Fire rescue brigade in Hefei City, Anhui Province, fought for 96 hours continuously and participated in the rescue of more than 2,600 people, but he himself died in the flood.
Guarding the tranquility of the rivers and lakes and protecting the safety of the people - from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, whenever the flood comes, the vast number of grass-roots cadres and people's children and soldiers move when they hear the "flood", face the fierce storms and torrents, and go up against the current. Zheng Zheng's oath of "the flood will not retreat, we will not retreat" is the biggest confidence of the Chinese to defeat the flood demon again and again.
Struggle, for the sake of the homeland and the nation. On all fronts, the "mortal heroes" have great love and rush to the battlefields where the smoke of gunfire cannot be seen without hesitation, just to protect the happiness and tranquility of 1.4 billion people. This is the lofty ambition and pride of the Chinese Communists in the new era.
Life is more than a struggle
9.83 seconds! Su Bingtian ran his personal best in 100 meters and broke the Asian record; Lu Xiaojun, a men's 81 kg weightlifter, lifted 204 kg and won praise from netizens at home and abroad; 14-year-old Chinese diving 10 meters platform female athlete Quan Hongchan jumped out of 3 full score actions in the final, which made the world marvel at the "splash disappearance technique"...
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese team competed in Tokyo with high morale and self-confidence, winning 38 gold, 32 silver and 18 bronze, and the number of gold medals was equal to the best foreign competition achieved at the London Olympic Games. Behind the team's dazzling achievements is the hard training of Olympic athletes year after year, day after day.
Struggle is not always accompanied by flowers and applause.
In the little-known field of grassland science, Ren Jizhou, a 97-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is still immersed in research and writing books. For more than 70 years, he has led the Scientific Research Team of China's Grassland Industry to continue to struggle, overcoming many difficulties that ordinary people can hardly imagine: running into the wind and snow, sleeping in tents, drilling grass nests, and wearing 666 powder, "poisonous armor" made of enemy insect solution soaked clothes to resist the interference of various poisonous insects on field scientific expeditions... Ren Jizhou wrote his thesis between the high heavens and thick soil, injecting a steady stream of vitality into the interdependent life community of China's "grass-animal-man", and was known as one of the founders of modern grassland science in China.
The late Gao Bolong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at the National University of Defense Technology, and the team overcame countless difficulties, and after repeated failures, started from scratch, put forward China's exclusive laser gyro theory, and turned the theory into reality, known as China's "laser gyro founder". Nowadays, China's laser gyroscope has become the "navigation core" for high-tech equipment to achieve accurate operation and precision strikes.
Struggle itself is a kind of happiness. The road is long and long, and the road is coming; the journey is long, but there is only struggle.
From the spirit of exploring the moon in "daring to go to the moon for nine days", to the spirit of poverty alleviation that creates "a miracle in the annals of history", to the great anti-epidemic spirit of "life first, the whole country is united, sacrificing life and forgetting death, respecting science, and sharing fate"... Ordinary people write wonderful lives with struggle in their jobs, and write the latest chapter of the great leap of the Chinese nation in the past hundred years that has attracted worldwide attention.
A string of shining names, a touching and profound story, interpreting the great spirit of struggle in the new era, showing the strivers of the new era: life is not stopped, the struggle is endless! ■
