How to remove the obstacles of "fighting against poverty"

In the current anti-poverty battle that must be won, if the superior policy is the traction and the external help is the driving force, then the poverty alleviation aspirations of the poor people themselves are the indispensable endogenous driving force.

The efforts made in the past 37 years of reform and opening up have lifted more than 700 million rural poor out of poverty, first of all, relying on a firm will to get rid of poverty and the tenacity of dripping water to wear away the stone. The experience of getting rid of poverty in numerous regions has proved that the primary significance of getting rid of poverty is not to get rid of material poverty, but to get rid of the "poverty" of consciousness and thinking. Only by first solving the poverty in mind can we achieve "weak birds fly first" and "become rich from poverty". As long as you have confidence, loess will turn into gold. As long as the spirit does not decline, there are always more ways than difficulties.

In the face of the last 70 million "poverty in poverty" and "hardship in poverty", the most urgent task is to get rid of the obstacle of "mental poverty". In particular, the wait-and-see mentality, dependence psychology and utilitarian thinking still exist in many places to varying degrees.

For example, people are ambitious and do not want to make progress. For some poor families, their superiors built greenhouses for him, and he was still waiting for the government to buy seeds, buy machinery and provide fertilizer for technology, and even expected the government to do it to change the grass curtain. A township cadre once said that whenever disaster relief and relief supplies are distributed, some people will "compete" with each other, competing for poverty and "lying down as low-income households."

For example, backward ideas and passive dependence. Some leaders of poverty-stricken counties show off everywhere and even publish "great good news" on government websites to win the title of "poor county" as an honor and political achievement. Wearing the hat of a "poor county" means that there can be hundreds of millions of yuan or more in financial transfer payments. However, if we only know to "show off poverty" and wait for "assistance", how can we lead the masses to shake off poverty and become rich as soon as possible?

For example, the train of thought is blocked and the method is single. Some cadres lack in-depth research, can not find the cause, can not prescribe a prescription. In the face of new situations and new problems, they may only use the old methods, or copy the experience of others regardless of reality. When the price of asparagus is high, everyone is required to plant asparagus, rush to the "bad market", and then change to grow yam. As a result, farmers cannot earn money for what they grow. They are not only unable to lift themselves out of poverty, but also lose confidence.

Poverty is not terrible, but it is the poverty of this kind of thinking and thinking that we are afraid of. The masses are the main body to shake off poverty and become rich. Only by solving the mental outlook, strengthening confidence, making positive progress, stimulating the initiative, enthusiasm, and creativity of cadres and masses in poverty-stricken areas, constantly emancipating their minds, and actively exploring, can we turn weaknesses into strengths and weaknesses into strengths, so that "extreme poverty" can become rich. On the other hand, if poverty alleviation becomes a policy of nurturing lazybones, even if a lot of energy and investment are spent on it temporarily, it will not last long, and it will even fall into a vicious circle of "poorer and more needy, lazier and lazier".

For the poor, poverty alleviation should be the first to support the will. With ambition, "blood transfusion" can be effective, and "hematopoiesis" is possible. "Happiness is not a drizzle, it won't fall from the sky by itself." The best way to encourage people in poor areas to get rich through hard work and skillful work with both hands is to let them see the example around them. Zhu Yanfu, the former branch of Zhangjiaquan Village in Yiyuan County, Shandong Province, lost both hands and feet on the battlefield, and still led the masses to govern mountains, control floods, and build fields. He can walk on his knees, crawl, or even "roll", but his spiritual world has never been destroyed by poverty. Such people are the spiritual resources for growing the aspirations of the poor people.

For the government, it should not only get rid of the misunderstanding that "poverty alleviation equals relief charity", but also support the masses to explore innovative ways and means of poverty alleviation; not only to help the poor people solve their near worries, but also to think for them in the long run. What the poor people lack most is culture and skills, and they should pertinently send policies and knowledge to the countryside and door-to-door skills to enhance their ability to develop production and transfer employment; poverty alleviation projects in need of the poor people should create conditions and support development. Only in this way can we completely change the state of "basking in the sun against the wall and waiting for others to send a well-off life".

If there is no desire to get rid of poverty, no matter how much poverty alleviation funds can only be managed for a while, not for a long time. A good policy and system is not only to solve the temporary difficulties of the poor people, but also to show them the hope of gaining a firm foothold through their own efforts. Good days are dry, keep this in mind, show the fighting spirit and tenacity of dripping water to wear away the stone, and find an accurate way to help the poor in order to win this battle against poverty.
