At Peng Xiaying's house, the General Secretary checked from room to room, sat down to calculate the income and expenditure account with the couple, and asked what difficulties and needs still existed in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"In the revolutionary war years, the people of Jiangxi made great sacrifices and contributions to the victory of the revolution. Now that the country has developed and people's lives have improved, we should drink from the source, not forget the revolutionary ancestors, the revolutionary martyrs, and the people in the old revolutionary base areas." General Secretary Xi Jinping said that we should "let the people in the old revolutionary base areas live a happy life".

"The measures and work of poverty alleviation and alleviation must be precise" "We must revitalize the countryside" "We must constantly improve the comprehensive efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture"... From the Luoxiao Mountains to the Yudu River, the General Secretary earnestly instructed us to guide the direction.

It accurately recognizes poverty, implements policies and exits. 25 poverty-stricken counties have successfully lifted their hats and continued to promote rural revitalization. In 2021, the per capita net income of the poverty alleviation population in the province will reach 14391 yuan, and the people in the old areas will walk on flat roads, live in safe houses, use sanitary toilets, and drink clean water.

Now, the per capita annual income has reached 26000 yuan, and all 21 poor households have been lifted out of poverty. The young people are back, and the permanent population has increased from less than 40 to more than 170," said Peng Zhanyang, the village branch of Shenshan Village.

Cadres and masses on the red earth should keep in mind the General Secretary's instructions, and the Jinggangshan spirit and the Soviet spirit are radiating a new light of the times. After Jinggangshan was lifted out of poverty as a whole, the local cadres and the masses were tied together and were catching up in high-quality development. The growth rate of four economic indicators, including GDP and industrial power consumption in the first quarter of this year, jumped to the forefront of the province.
"Educate and guide the broad masses of Party members and cadres to clean up their roots and guard their souls", "cultivate their loyalty, clean and responsible political character, and be good stewards of the people", "think ahead and work hard"... When General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Jiangxi and participated in the deliberations of the Jiangxi delegation at the third session of the 12th National People's Congress, he repeatedly put forward requirements for strengthening the construction of cadres' style.

Bearing in mind the requirements of the General Secretary, Jiangxi stimulates the innovation and entrepreneurship vitality of the whole society with its cadres. "In those days, Soviet cadres visited poor farmers at night. Today, we inherited the red gene and sent young cadres to take temporary positions in enterprises. Together with workers, they threw themselves on the construction site, covered in dust on sunny days and mud on rainy days, and honed their style and increased their talents in serving enterprises." Yudu County Party Committee Shu Ji Huang Fa said.
Ten thousand cadres have joined ten thousand enterprises and started one enterprise in half a day... Jiangxi is forming a vivid situation of "mass entrepreneurship, mass innovation, and cadres' pioneering", and the red gene flowing in the blood of cadres in the old areas has burst into great power in the new era.
Facing the future, more than 45 million people in Jiangxi and Poyang have kept in mind the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, "set an example" and "strive bravely to be the first", and created a new era of glory with the attitude of hard work.
