To revive the nation, the countryside must be revitalized. At the beginning of the Spring Festival, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council publicly released the Opinions on Learning and Applying the Experience of the "1000 Village Demonstration, 10000 Village Renovation" Project to Effectively Promote the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas. This is the second "No. 1 Document" issued after the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to guide the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", and also the 21st "No. 1 Document" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China consecutively since the new century. It is of great significance for promoting the overall revitalization of the countryside, accelerating the construction of a powerful agricultural country, and unswervingly advancing towards the grand goal of building a powerful country and national rejuvenation.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "To promote Chinese style modernization, we must unswervingly consolidate the agricultural foundation and promote the overall revitalization of the countryside." This year's Central Document No. 1 focuses on accelerating agricultural and rural modernization and better promoting Chinese style modernization, and proposes to learn and apply the development concept, working methods and promotion mechanism contained in the "Ten Million Project", Taking the promotion of comprehensive rural revitalization as the general focus of the "three rural" work in the new era and new journey, and making major deployment for the "three rural" work in 2024 and the next period are important guidelines for us to fight a beautiful battle of comprehensive rural revitalization and draw a new picture of livable, employable and beautiful countryside.

The "three rural areas" are improving and the overall situation is proactive. In 2023, in the face of the complex situation of increasing adverse factors in the international political and economic environment and the superposition of domestic cyclical and structural contradictions, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, we will overcome multiple adverse effects, such as more serious natural disasters. Food production will hit a new historical high, farmers' income will grow rapidly, and rural society will be harmonious and stable. All work related to "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" has been solidly promoted, providing strong support for promoting economic recovery, accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, and striving to promote high-quality development.

At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the overall deployment of agricultural and rural work was made when the grand blueprint of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way was formulated. We must deeply realize that the most arduous and arduous task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is still in the countryside. To comprehensively promote the construction of a powerful country and the rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese style modernization has put forward new and higher requirements for the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". At present, China's development has entered a period when strategic opportunities and risk challenges coexist, and uncertainties and unpredictable factors increase. Economic recovery is still at a critical stage. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the key year to achieve the goals and tasks of the 14th Five Year Plan. It is of great responsibility, arduous task and glorious mission to uphold the basic principle of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" and do a good job of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".

The "Demonstration and Renovation of Thousands of Villages" project, under the personal planning, deployment and promotion of Comrade Xi Jinping, the then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, started with rural environmental renovation, from point to area, iterative upgrading, and after 20 years of continuous efforts, has created thousands of beautiful villages and benefited thousands of farmers, It has created successful experience and practical examples to promote the overall revitalization of rural areas. To do a good job in the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", we need to thoroughly implement the important statement and guiding spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", adhere to the people centered development thought, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, anchor the goal of building a powerful agricultural country, take the experience of the "Ten Million Project" as the guide, adjust measures to local conditions, implement policies by categories, and gradually For a long time, we should concentrate our efforts on doing a number of practical things that can be felt by the masses, and constantly make substantive progress and phased achievements in promoting the overall revitalization of the countryside.

Rural revitalization is the basic project of building a powerful agricultural country. To fight a good battle for the overall revitalization of rural areas, we should conscientiously implement the deployment requirements of the No. 1 Document of the Central Committee, take ensuring national food security and preventing large-scale poverty as the bottom line, focus on improving the level of rural industry development, rural construction, and rural governance, strengthen the dual wheel drive of science and technology and reform, and strengthen the measures to increase farmers' income, Starting from the practical problems strongly reflected by the farmers, we should find the entry point of rural revitalization and improve the effectiveness of our work. We should make solving the "three rural issues" a top priority in the work of the whole Party, give priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integrated development of urban and rural areas, press the five level secretaries to grasp the responsibility of rural revitalization, and follow the spirit of nailing down the implementation of the CPC Central Committee's decisions and arrangements on the "three rural" work.

A strong country must first strengthen agriculture, and only when agriculture is strong can the country be strong. Let's unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, fully implement Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", strengthen the "four consciousness", firm the "four self-confidence", achieve the "two maintenance", firm confidence, stay motivated and work hard, We will vigorously and effectively promote the overall revitalization of rural areas, promote high-quality and efficient agriculture, make rural areas suitable for living and working, and make farmers rich and prosperous, and make solid progress towards the goal of building a powerful agricultural country.
