In the work of poverty alleviation, there are many difficulties and obstacles, but these are not reasons for slackness, let alone negative responses and assignments

    

According to the current poverty alleviation standards, there are still more than 30 million poor people in China who have not been lifted out of poverty. Due to different infrastructure, natural endowment and educational conditions, it is the most difficult bone to solve the regional poverty problem to lift these poor people out of poverty on schedule.

The time to get rid of poverty as scheduled is getting closer and closer, and you can't let go of your anger. Eliminating poverty, improving people's livelihood and achieving common prosperity are the essential requirements of socialism. The most arduous and arduous task of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way lies in the countryside, especially in poor areas. Therefore, we must give full play to our political and institutional advantages, adhere to targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation, and ensure that the key tasks of poverty alleviation are completed on schedule without any discount. This determination and will must be rock solid.

Yes, there are many difficulties and obstacles in the poverty alleviation work, but these are not reasons for slackness, let alone negative responses and assignments.

In the face of difficulties, different people have different attitudes. Some people rise to the challenge, some people hold a stalemate and look at it, and some people retreat from it passively. Different attitudes have different effects.

In terms of poverty level, the "three districts and three prefectures" are deep enough, but the poverty alleviation efforts there are vigorous. In terms of the difficulty of poverty alleviation, Liangdang County, Gansu, an old revolutionary base area, is heavy enough, but the pace of poverty alleviation there is very steady. Until the end of 2013, the poverty incidence rate of Liangdang was 35.87%. Why did the number of poor people in this county drop from 13200 at the end of 2013 to 144 at the end of 2017 in just a few years, and the incidence of poverty dropped to 0.38%? It is precisely because of the unswerving attitude and courage to fight poverty.

As the time to get rid of poverty on schedule is getting closer, the strings of industrial poverty alleviation must be tightened. With the development of industry, the income of poor households will continue to increase, and their life will have a long-term prospect. Qiqihar is a key poverty-stricken area in Heilongjiang Province, and the poverty-stricken population accounts for about 1/3 of the whole province. Closely relying on the poverty alleviation industry, 228 poverty-stricken villages in the city were withdrawn this year, with a cumulative reduction of 53200 households and 118600 people, and the incidence of poverty dropped to 2.33%. The key counties of the national poverty alleviation work were rich, and Gannan successfully withdrew from the poverty sequence.

The time to get rid of poverty on schedule is getting closer and closer, and more efforts should be made to implement targeted poverty alleviation measures. Targeted poverty alleviation is not only reflected in targeted poverty alleviation targets, but also in targeted poverty alleviation policies. The key task of poverty alleviation is to work hard. We should not resort to red tape, red tape, or ostentation. We should not make our efforts to fill in forms and report data, let alone digital or fake poverty alleviation.

To this end, it is necessary to compact responsibility, strengthen leadership responsibility, subject responsibility and assistance responsibility. We should standardize the scope of poverty alleviation, adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, and do not increase the number of targets and raise unrealistic goals. We need to consolidate the institutional guarantee for targeted poverty alleviation, build a targeted task system, a strong policy system, and a strict and effective constraint system. We need to focus on reinforcing weak points, promote targeted poverty alleviation, and see real results. We need to speed up the process of supplementing weak points in industry, infrastructure, security, and endogenous power, so that poverty alleviation can continue to reach a new level and achieve new leaps.

It's better to shake off your arms than shout out loud. In the critical stage of poverty alleviation, we need to adhere to the current poverty alleviation standards, adhere to the problem orientation, and come up with excellent solutions to ensure that we are truly out of poverty and solve the overall regional poverty.
