It's time to call an end to poverty alleviation by "pretending to be sheep".

In one place, in order to let the superiors see their achievements in poverty alleviation during their inspection, they sent some primary school students to lie on the hillside passed by by their leaders, dressed in white plastic bags for chemical fertilizer. The leader looked from afar, and the hillside was full of "beautiful sheep", which was highly praised.

"create" bonsai for poverty alleviation, send some primary school students dressed in white plastic bags for chemical fertilizer to lie on the hillside passed by the leader to meet the leader's inspection, the hillside is full of "beautiful sheep", so that the leader's heart is full of praise, such exaggerated retreat is not groundless, this is not only some poverty alleviation cadres "good actor", and the leader "audience is also good".

Let primary school students "pretend to be sheep" to help the poor, just to get the leader's "high praise". There are a lot of buildings on both sides of the common road, with green trees and red flowers, flocks of chickens and ducks, and fish leaping into rivers and ponds. These obvious bonsai of "people's wealth" just seem to make the leaders feel "beautiful sheep", and the masses are panicked.

The leaders are proud to let these "poverty alleviation bonsai" change flowers and trees. Some leaders like to "look at flowers," and as long as they see "changes," they pat their heads and feel that they have made real achievements in poverty alleviation, and the meeting will praise them in a high profile and even recommend them to higher-level departments, and leading cadres will be happy.

The poverty alleviation assessment meeting listens to the report and reads the report form in the house. Most of the on-the-spot visits took a quick look at the flowers, shaking hands first and then waving for less than two minutes, which led to the creation of bonsai for poverty alleviation. This kind of "roadside fancy poverty alleviation" is useless, conceals the truth, shields the real poverty, creates a poverty alleviation bubble, suffers the people, hurts the hearts of the people, and loses public opinion. People call helping the poor to build bonsai as a "sightseeing bed" and poverty alleviation assessment as a "sightseeing bus."

When cadres pretend to help the poor and ask students to pretend to be sheep, what voice can leaders hear during their inspection? What "scenery" can you see at the end of the road and on the other side of the mountain? This requires leaders to get out of the car "covered with mud in their trouser legs" for on-the-spot assessment, rather than taking a "sightseeing bus" to make a "trip here". Leaders should have "clairvoyance" and "ears of the wind" in assessing poverty alleviation work, go deep into the front line of poverty to learn more about public opinion, listen more to the voices of the people, abandon "bonsai thinking," conduct realistic assessment, exercise strict supervision, and do more "dismount and watch flowers". No matter how well cadres sing the play of poverty alleviation, they will hear flaws.

Poverty alleviation is a protracted war, which requires precise irrigation rather than watering flowers. Poverty alleviation work is not a face-saving project. only by keeping our feet on the ground, carrying forward the spirit of wearing water and stones, and doing meritorious service for a long time, cadres can really help the poor and the masses can really get rid of poverty. Only in this way can the whole country be happy.
