The Maonan people are one of the 28 ethnic groups with a small population in my country. Huanjiang County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is a key county in the national poverty alleviation and development work, and is also the only Maonan Autonomous County in the country.
At the end of 2019, the poverty incidence in Huanjiang County dropped to 1.48%. In May 2020, Huanjiang County withdrew from the list of poor counties. In accordance with the poverty alleviation situation of Maonan people across the country, the Maonan people have achieved poverty alleviation.
Recently, representatives of the Maonan people in Huanjiang County wrote a letter to General Secretary Xi Jinping, reporting on the joy of the Maonan people in the local area to achieve poverty alleviation, and expressed their determination to unswervingly follow the Party and continue to work hard to build a good hometown.
General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping recently made important instructions on the Maonan people’s poverty alleviation, saying that I am very happy to learn that the Maonan people have achieved poverty alleviation and the lives of the villagers have improved significantly.
“No nation can be left behind”
This year, a diary of poverty alleviation from a girl in the mountains is like a miniature version of China’s “chronic history” of poverty alleviation.
From elementary school, to high school, Cinema high school, to college, the girl got rid of poverty and gained her own happy life. And across the country, there are more people like her who have completed the “last mile” of poverty alleviation with the support of national policies…
Why is poverty alleviation so important?
“If the granaries are full, you know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace.” The ancients knew very early that having enough food and clothing was the most basic requirement for individual respect.
The people are rich, the country is rich, and the people are strong, the country is strong, Whether the people are rich determines whether our country is strong.
Since the reform and opening up, China has begun to carry out poverty alleviation and development in a planned, organized and large-scale manner. In this process, China has made great achievements in poverty alleviation. Poverty alleviation and development have played an important role in promoting economic development, political stability, national unity, border consolidation and social harmony. At the same time, it has made significant contributions to the global poverty reduction cause.
Many countries said that the Two Sessions convey China’s confidence and determination to firmly promote poverty alleviation and build a moderately prosperous society in all respects. China has set an example for the world’s poverty reduction cause.
Polish China expert Radek Perfel: “Since I studied in China in 1999, over the past few years, I have witnessed the earth-shaking changes in China. I have always believed that China will defeat poverty. This day is coming, and I have to say that this is an amazing achievement. China has made great efforts to do so.”
General Secretary of the ruling Jubilee Party of KenyaKomiks Note Raphael Tuzhu: “China has lifted so many people out of poverty, which is unprecedented in the world. I think Kenyans can learn a lot from China’s experience. I hope that by learning from China’s experience, we can also have the opportunity to succeed.”
Among the 22 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities that have made “military orders” to fight poverty, all poor counties in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have been cleared.

China has achieved poverty alleviation of 850 million people, and its contribution to global poverty reduction exceeds 70%.
The 2020 Government Work Report mentioned that from 2019 to the present, my country has made key progress in the three major battles. The number of rural poor people decreased by 11.09 million, and the poverty incidence rate dropped to 0.6%, making decisive achievements in poverty alleviation.

“The decisive victory in poverty alleviation is in the present day”, the entire Maonan tribe was lifted out of poverty, the entire Dulong tribe was lifted out of poverty, and the poverty alleviation relocation of Sichuan’s “cliff village”… One vivid example tells us that poverty alleviation will achieve the final victory.
Just as written in the girl’s diary Cinema, in the education, infrastructure, finance and other aspects corresponding to her elementary school, high school and college, China is firmly winning this battle against poverty with a comprehensive response attitude.

To combat poverty, focus on education first. [/p>
Develop education is the fundamental measure of poverty reduction and poverty alleviation
“Those who seek the elders of trees must consolidate their roots; those who want to flow far must dredge their source.”
In recent years, as China’s poverty alleviation work continues to deepen, the teaching environment in poor and remote mountainous areas has been greatly improved, but the weak teaching staff and low school level are still problems that plague the development of education in poor areas.
Basic education occupies a basic and leading position in the national education system and is a foundational project to improve national quality. The level of development of basic education basically determines the spiritual outlook, civilization level and even national strength of the people.
The core of China’s poverty reduction strategy is to invest human capital in the poor, improve development capabilities, and expand development opportunities.
On December 15, 2017, at the first plenary session of the 14th Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, Su Mingjuan was elected Deputy Secretary of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League (part-time). At the age of 34, she is once again in the public eye.
From poor girls to deputy secretary of the Provincial Youth League CommitteeNote: Su Mingjuan’s fate changed by a photo.
Su Mingjuan, born in Jinzhai County, Dabie Mountains in 1983, was once a poor family. The natural environment in Jinzhai County is harsh and floods often occur. “The annual income is only enough for the whole family to eat for three months. My father got up early and went to bed late every day, went up the mountain to chop wood and went down the river to catch fish. He used the money he earned to buy some food and make a living.”
In 1991, a photo with the theme of “I want to go to school” was selected as a promotional sign for the Hope Project, which attracted the attention of the outside world for rural out-of-school children. The 8-year-old protagonist of the photo, Su Mingjuan, has thus become a well-known “big-eyed girl” by the people of the whole country.
With the attention, Su Mingjuan and the children who have helped the Hope Project have obtained valuable education opportunities and were admitted to university. After entering society, she still maintained her original intention and donated money to Hope Project every year. It can be said that education changed her life.
Preventing poverty first emphasizes education, and developing education is the fundamental measure to reduce poverty and get rid of poverty. To block the intergenerational transmission of poverty, children from poor families must receive fair and high-quality education, ensure that rural children enjoy fair opportunities in the basic education stage and prevent them from falling behind at the starting line.
Carrying teacher exchanges, encouraging teacher students to teach in rural areas, and even through remote live teaching and other technical means are all innovative means of poverty alleviation in China.
Since 2020, Guangxi University has begun to try to select 25 outstanding undergraduate graduates from Guangxi University who have obtained the qualification of graduate students to pursue a master’s degree without examination, and go to Napo County Nationalities Middle School to serve as middle school teachers for one to two years of teaching.
National CPPCC member Babaylan and President of Guangxi University Zhao Yueyu pointed out: “We hope that by implementing this selection model, more children in poverty-stricken areas in the border areas can enjoy good basic education resources.”
Members suggest that Zhao Yueyu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: #Komiks suggest that two colleges and universities provide one-on-one assistance to extremely poor counties to improve the overall conditions and level of basic education in poverty-stricken areas in the border areas, improve their school quality and the level of education for local people#
This year’s government work report also focuses on education issues in poor areas:
[/p>
In the field of education, China’s investment is still increasing steadily. In 2019, the central government’s education expenditure was 183.513 billion yuan, an increase of 6% over the previous year. In 2018, 84.4% of the central government’s financial transfer expenditure on education was invested in the central and western regions and tilted towards poor areas. About 145 million compulsory education students across the country are exempt from tuition and miscellaneous fees and receive free textbooks, and 13.92 million boarding students from financial difficulties receive living allowances.

The role of education in promoting poverty alleviation is continuing to “increase”.
With the advancement of China’s science and technology, in recent years, digital new infrastructure has also begun to “show its strength” in poverty alleviation.
Tibetan girls take online classes, and don’t have to climb 2 hours of snow-capped mountains to chase the “signal Komiks“
“If you want to be rich, build roads first.” This is the logic of the Chinese to get rich. With infrastructure guarantees, you can get rid of poverty.
From late February, 21-year-old Tibetan girl Sobasam will walk two hours a day on the mountain road, climbing all the way to the mountains near her hometown, taking online classes while grazing. What accompanied her was the white snow and herds of cattle and sheep.
Sobasam is a student majoring in fire rescue technology at Hunan Safety Technology Vocational College. “Before going to college, I spoke Tibetan in my hometown. Language communication barriers to going out to study have brought difficulties to my studies.” Sobasam studied very seriously. During the epidemic, Hunan Safety and Technology Vocational College held an online teaching “Suspension of classes but not learning” and she studied on time every day.
On March 2, actor Yin Li posted a Weibo account on Weibo: “I have a student named Sobasam. Her home is in Tibet. Her Internet signal is very bad, and she has no way to conduct online learning. She has to walk two hours a day to climb the mountain to have a better signal…”
<figure data-size="normal" /]Screenshot of Yin Li's Weibo request for help.
About half an hour later, the official Weibo of China Tower contacted Yin Li via a private message: “We notify the branch to follow up in time to understand the situation.” “We work together, hoping to help students solve the signal problem as soon as possible.”
In the afternoon of the same day, the staff and village cadres of China Tower came to Sobasam’s home to help her solve the problem of network signals. Sobasam no longer has to climb up the snow mountain to listen to classes, and can receive live online classes at home.
In the field of communications, our conventional perception is that the number of users who can support a 2Mbps experience is about 120/(2*50%*20%) = 600 people.
But as the province (region) with the smallest population density is the Tibet Autonomous Region, with a population density of 2.1 people/square kilometer. It is difficult to recover the cost of building a signal tower here.

But as Yang Guangbin, dean of the School of International Relations of Renmin University of China, said, “China’s construction of these infrastructures is not a pure economic standard, it is a social standard and a political standard.”

Just like Yang Yang, a villager in the cliff village after relocating in another place, the live broadcast online has brought him and the villagers more income and new life.
The “Cliff Village” has not had a communication network in the past to the popular online live broadcast in the village. Now, it is actually only a distance from the outside world at a mobile phone screen.

It is with these “new infrastructure” that the most remote mountainous areas are signaled and the residents there have a way to get rich. Even if it is a “lose transaction”, the national Cinema will do it.
It is estimated that in 2020, the national investment in 5G new infrastructure alone will reach 246.7 billion yuan, which will drive about 484 billion yuan of direct output and 1.2 trillion yuan of indirect output. In addition, various construction projects such as AI, big data, and high-speed railways are also steadily “launched”. From going to the countryside with home appliances to the “Full Village and Village Connect” project, and now the 5G signal tower is being built in the mountains, China is making the countryside rich through new infrastructure.
In the financial field, the national inclusive financial policy allows poor households to not only make money, but also keep money and realizeThe ability to continue to “make blood” will prevent people from falling back into poverty and prevent the results of poverty alleviation from rebounding.
Financial “blood-making” eliminates poverty
In remote cities in Qing Dynasty, loan difficulties have always been a bottleneck that plagues the development of local tea farmers. For tea farmers, without collateral, financing becomes a “difficult” problem.
A state-owned bank in Qingyuan City has developed a process for mortgage loans through tea tree after about two years of investigation and research.
This is the first time I have used plants as collateral in Qingyuan City. A local tea farmer in Qingyuan City tried to contact the local bank.
Unexpectedly, the local bank quickly established a special tea tree business team to apply, investigate, sign contracts, and lend, and complete them in one go.
With bank loans, tea farmers’ tea planting scale continues to expand, and product brands are becoming increasingly popular. Riding on the east wind of Qingyuan City in developing rural inclusive finance, Cinema get rich quickly.
This is an example of Qingyuan City’s inclusive finance party’s inclusive finance, and it is also a microcosm of the country’s promotion of inclusive finance.
Kong Falong, a member of the National People’s Congress, Party Secretary and Chairman of the Jiangxi Rural Credit Cooperative, pointed out that as of the end of 2019, the rural commercial banks under Jiangxi had issued 6,359 poverty alleviation loans in 269 deeply impoverished villages across the province, and the total number of poor households supported by poor households accounts for more than 1/3 of the total number of poverty-stricken households in deeply impoverished villages…
Continue to play the important role of poverty alleviation micro-credit in supporting the development of production of poor people, promote special products such as “Industrial Poverty Alleviation Credit Pass”, “Rural Revitalization Loan”, “Animal CinemaPoultry Intelligent Clean and Prosperous Loan”, Shenzhen Komiks connects with the financial needs of rural revitalization, and drives the continuous improvement of production and life of poor people.
Representative’s suggestion
National People’s Congress representative Kong Falong: #Continue to play the important role of poverty alleviation micro-credit in supporting the development of production of poor people, promote special products such as “Industrial Poverty Alleviation Credit Pass”, “Rural Revitalization Loan”, and “Intelligent Clean and Protective Loan” to deeply connect with the financial needs of rural revitalization.Drive the production and life of the poor to continuously improve#
Not only in Jiangxi, but across the country, the financial system serves poverty alleviation is not only a responsibility, but also a responsibility.
The poor households are “willing to lend” and “get loans”, and ultimately, from the root of eliminating poverty, reflecting our original intention of financial services to poverty alleviation.
It was also pointed out in the 2020 Government Work Report of the Two Sessions.
This is a commitment made by the government and a firm confidence in poverty alleviation.
2020 is destined to be a milestone year in Chinese history. This is the year of decisive battle and victory in poverty alleviation and the year of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
Poverty lifting is a hard task that must be completed in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. We must adhere to the current poverty alleviation standards, strengthen the implementation of poverty alleviation measures, ensure that all remaining poor people are lifted out of poverty, improve and implement the monitoring and assistance mechanism for people who have fallen back into poverty, and consolidate the results of poverty alleviation.
In the last year of poverty alleviation, under the firm leadership of the Party, we will eventually be able to conquer the “last bastion of poverty.”
