You can't give money to get rid of poverty.

Su Guoxia, spokesman for the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council and director of the Department of policies and regulations, said that there is another tendency in some places, not to make great efforts to help the poor out of poverty through their own efforts, but to calculate how much money they can give him to lift them out of poverty. "We are afraid that they will get away with it and will not help them any more." (13 October 2016)

Since the Fifth session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, poverty alleviation work has been in full swing and achieved fruitful results, but in some places, in carrying out poverty alleviation work, they have not found a starting point for poverty alleviation, and the measures for poverty alleviation do not cure the root causes of poverty. They do not find the causes of poverty and give money. They think that poverty alleviation is holiday condolences, money and goods, handouts, and the implementation of infrastructure construction.

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Winning the battle against poverty does not happen overnight. We must have super perseverance, confidence to win, and practical measures to get rid of poverty. It is true that for those poor households who have lost their ability to work due to illness, disability and other reasons, they do need the minimum security policy and relief from civil affairs departments and society, but for those poor households with development potential, it is necessary to cultivate their confidence and determination to become rich through hard work, help them give advice, formulate poverty alleviation plans, and develop production, if they give money and materials according to poverty alleviation standards without distinction. Poor households still have not found a way to develop production, and when the money is used up, they will be poor again. How can this kind of short-lived poverty alleviation get rid of the poor? How can we ensure that poor households do not return to poverty?

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. The reason for this phenomenon of "one-shot buying and selling" in tackling poverty alleviation is that some party members and cadres are eager for quick success and quick profit in tackling poverty alleviation, and regard poverty alleviation as a "movement." it is likely to complete the work of getting rid of poverty in a certain morning. It is because some party members and cadres have an incorrect view of political achievement and regard the achievement of getting rid of poverty as meritorious service and a ladder to climb. It is because some party members and cadres have bureaucracy and hedonism, like to stay in government organs, do not come into contact with the poor masses, and do not try their best to find ways and measures for poor households to get rid of poverty, but to complete their tasks.

How can we make the poverty alleviation work really help the poor, help the poor and get rid of poverty? The author believes that in addition to strengthening the building of the work style of cadres, strengthening the supervision and inspection of poverty alleviation work, and doing a good job in getting rid of poverty, we might as well introduce a lifelong responsibility system for poverty alleviation. At the same time, this responsibility system will always be accompanied no matter where you are transferred or promoted to any level, so that those who like to pay money will lose the illusion of muddling through and devote their energies to poverty alleviation.
