The 7th issue of Qiushi magazine, published on April 1, will publish an important article by Xi Jinping the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, the president of the state and the chairman of the Central Military Commission, “adhere to solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers as the top priority of the work of the whole Party and promote the revitalization of rural areas with the strength of the whole Party and society”.
The article emphasizes that consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating agricultural and rural modernization are a major issue related to the overall situation that needs the great attention of the whole party. The whole Party must fully understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in the new development stage, adhere to solving the problems of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” as the top priority of the work of the whole party, use the strength of the whole Party and society to promote rural revitalization, and promote high-quality and efficient agriculture, rural livable and industrial, and farmers’ prosperity.
The article points out that we should really do solid work and do a good job in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in the new development stage. From the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation, if the nation wants to revive, the countryside must revitalize. Only by deeply understanding the “three rural” issues can we better understand our party, our country and our nation. To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the most arduous and arduous task still lies in the countryside, and the most extensive and profound foundation still lies in the countryside. From the perspective of the great changes that have not occurred in the world in a century, stabilizing the basic sector of agriculture and guarding the foundation of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” are the “ballast” for the emergency response Bureau and opening a new Bureau. “Agriculture, rural areas and farmers” are improving and taking the initiative in the overall situation.
The article points out that we should consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation. Comprehensively promoting rural revitalization is a historic shift in the focus of the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. We should do a good job in consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively linking them with rural revitalization. After the completion of the poverty alleviation goal and task, a five-year transition period will be set up for counties that get rid of poverty from the date of poverty alleviation. During the transition period, we should maintain the overall stability of the main assistance policies.
The article points out that we should firmly grasp the initiative of food security. More and less food is a tactical issue, and food security is a strategic issue. Grain production should be stepped up year by year. The area and output should not fall down, and there should be no problems in supply and market. Cultivated land is the lifeblood of grain production. We should strictly prevent and adhere to the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, take hard measures of “long teeth” and implement the strictest cultivated land protection system. We should adhere to the self-reliance and self-improvement of agricultural science and technology, and accelerate the tackling of key core agricultural technologies. The key to mobilizing farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain is to make farmers earn money from growing grain. Local Party committees and governments at all levels should shoulder the political responsibility for food security, and the party and government should share the same responsibility for food security.
The article points out that we should comprehensively promote rural revitalization and achieve results. The depth, breadth and difficulty of fully implementing the Rural Revitalization Strategy are no less than those of poverty alleviation. We must strengthen the top-level design and promote it with stronger measures and stronger forces. First, accelerate the development of rural industries. Second, strengthen the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. Third, strengthen the construction of rural ecological civilization. Fourth, deepen rural reform. Fifth, implement rural construction. Sixth, promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas has achieved tangible results. Seventh, strengthen and improve rural governance.
The article points out that we should strengthen the party’s overall leadership over the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. Party committees at all levels should shoulder their political responsibilities, implement the policy of giving priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, and promote rural revitalization with greater efforts. Rural Revitalization policies ultimately depend on rural grass-roots party organizations to implement. The key to Rural Revitalization lies in people and work. We must build a contingent of Rural Revitalization cadres with excellent politics, skills and work style. We should widely rely on farmers, educate and guide farmers, organize and drive farmers, stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of farmers, devote ourselves to Rural Revitalization and build a better home

adhere to solving the “three rural” issues as the top priority of the party’s work
Promoting Rural Revitalization with the efforts of the whole Party and society
Xi Jinping
Next year, China will enter the 14th Five Year Plan period and embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. At this important historical intersection, the convening of the central rural work conference is of great timing and significance. This time, I took the initiative to talk about it. The purpose is to send a clear signal to the whole Party and society: “the work of agriculture, rural areas and farmers” is still extremely important on the new journey. We must not relax for a moment. We must pay close attention to it. Next, I would like to make a few comments.
I. do a good job of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in the new development stage
I often say that leading cadres should bear in mind the overall situation of the work of the party and the state. At the historical juncture of marching towards the second Centennial goal, when the goal and task of poverty alleviation have been completed, and at the special moment when the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic intensifies world turbulence and change, consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating agricultural and rural modernization are a major issue related to the overall situation that needs the great attention of the whole party.
— from the overall strategic perspective of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, if the nation wants to revitalize, the countryside must revitalize. Since ancient times, China has built its country on agriculture, created a long-standing and brilliant agricultural civilization, and has been ahead of the world for a long time. Looking at the past dynasties, the prosperity of agriculture and the stability of farmers will lead to national unity and social stability; If agriculture is poor and farmers are unstable, the country will be divided and society will be turbulent. In modern times, the invasion of great powers, domestic and foreign aggression, desolation in rural areas and people’s livelihood. After the founding of the party, it is important for us to fully understand the fundamental mission of the party to liberate the peasants and to strive for their economic well-being. As early as the great revolution, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that “farmers are the broadest and most loyal ally of the Chinese proletariat”; “The peasant issue is the central issue of the national revolution”. In 1936, when he met with American writer snow in Yan’an, he said, “whoever wins the farmers will win China, and whoever solves the land problem will win the farmers”. During the period of the new democratic revolution, our Party led the peasants to fight against local tyrants and divide the land. Through arduous armed struggle, hundreds of millions of peasants were liberated.
From December 28 to 29, 2020, the central rural work conference was held in Beijing.

After the founding of new China, our party organized farmers to reorganize mountains and rivers and develop production. Since the reform and opening up, our party has led farmers to take the lead in opening the curtain of reform, continuously emancipating and developing rural social productive forces, promoting all-round progress in rural areas, and realizing a historic leap forward from insufficient food and clothing to an all-round well-off society.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have made solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers the top priority of the whole Party’s work, taken poverty eradication as a landmark project for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, organized and promoted the poverty eradication campaign with unprecedented scale, the largest intensity and the largest population in human history, launched the implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, and promoted the historic achievements and changes in agriculture and rural areas. The comprehensive agricultural production capacity has reached a big level, and the grain output has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion Jin for six consecutive years. The per capita income of farmers has more than doubled compared with 2010, the rural people’s livelihood has been significantly improved, and the countryside has taken on a new look. Earth shaking changes have taken place in poor areas, historic achievements have been made in solving the problem of absolute poverty that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years, made great contributions to building a well-off society in an all-round way, and laid a solid foundation for opening a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. These achievements are the result of the joint efforts of the whole Party and the whole country, and everyone has made arduous efforts.
From September 13 to 14, 2021, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping inspected Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. On the afternoon of the 13th, Xi Jinping got off at Gaoxigou village, Yinzhou street, Mizhi County to check the growth of grain crops and make friends with fellow villagers working in the fields.

“Agriculture, the foundation of the world, is of great importance.” “Focusing on agriculture is the outline of our country.” History and reality tell us that agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country. We should adhere to the great historical view to treat agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Only by deeply understanding the “three rural” issues can we better understand our party, country and nation. It must be noted that the most arduous and arduous task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is still in the countryside, and the broadest and deepest foundation is still in the countryside.
Although we have made remarkable achievements in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”, the agricultural foundation is not stable, the gap between urban and rural regional development and residents’ income is still large, and the unbalanced urban and rural development and insufficient rural development are still the concentrated embodiment of the main social contradictions. From now to 2035, there are only three five-year planning periods. We should hurry up and take action. For the objectives and tasks of agricultural and rural modernization to 2035 and the middle of this century, we should scientifically analyze and deepen research, clarify the connotation and extension of the concept, and scientifically put forward the objectives and tasks of China’s agricultural and rural modernization. At present, we must first formulate the agricultural and rural development plan during the 14th Five Year Plan period.
— from the perspective of the great changes that have not occurred in the world in a century, stabilizing the basic situation of agriculture and guarding the foundation of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” are the “ballast” for the contingency Bureau and opening a new Bureau. For a large country with a population of 1.4 billion, agriculture, rural areas and farmers are improving and taking the initiative in the overall situation. At present, the international environment is becoming more and more complex, instability and uncertainty are increasing, the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic has a wide and far-reaching impact, economic globalization has encountered a countercurrent, and the world has entered a period of turbulence and change. In this regard, we should have a clear understanding and be ready to fight a protracted war.
I have repeatedly stressed that we should do our own thing well. One of the most important tasks is to always focus on agricultural production based on ourselves and deal with the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of stable production and supply in China.
To cope with risks and challenges, we should not only stabilize agriculture, but also stabilize the rural side. Migrant workers bear the brunt of economic fluctuations. In 2008, the international financial crisis broke out, and more than 20 million migrant workers returned home. This year, affected by the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic and the international economic downturn, nearly 30 million migrant workers once stayed and returned home. In this case, the overall social situation can remain stable without any trouble. The key is that farmers still have a piece of land and a house in their hometown. When they go back, they have land to grow, food to eat and work. Even if they don’t go back, they are confident. Building a modern socialist country in an all-round way is a long-term process. Before farmers take root in the city, don’t rush to cut off their backroads in the countryside, so that farmers can advance and retreat between urban and rural areas. This is the characteristic of China’s urbanization path, and it is also our room for maneuver and special advantages in dealing with risks and challenges.
Building a new development pattern is not only our strategic measure to deal with the great changes in the world, but also our first move to adapt to the changes in China’s development stage and grasp the initiative of development. The strategic base point is to expand domestic demand. There is huge space for rural areas to make great achievements. Hundreds of millions of farmers are moving towards comprehensive modernization at the same time, which can release a huge amount of consumption and investment demand. Urban and rural economic cycle is not only the due meaning of China’s great cycle, but also the key factor to ensure the health of China’s international double cycle proportional relationship.
The whole Party must fully understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in the new development stage, adhere to solving the problems of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” as the top priority of the work of the whole party, use the strength of the whole Party and society to promote rural revitalization, and promote high-quality and efficient agriculture, rural livable and industrial, and farmers’ prosperity.
II. Consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation
After decades of efforts, especially in the past eight years, we have completed the key objectives and tasks of poverty alleviation on schedule. The whole party, the whole country, all walks of life, especially the cadres and the masses in poverty alleviation areas, have made arduous efforts. The victory in poverty alleviation fully demonstrates the leadership of the party and the political advantages of China’s socialist system, and shows the world the human miracle created by our party’s leadership of hundreds of millions of people.
On the morning of May 14, 2021, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on promoting the high-quality development of the follow-up project of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in Nanyang City, Henan Province and delivered an important speech. Before the symposium, Xi Jinping got off temporarily during the inspection on the 13th and walked into a wheat field to observe the growth of wheat. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Ye / photo
Now, our mission is to comprehensively promote rural revitalization, which is a historic shift in the focus of the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. It should be noted that a considerable number of poverty relief households have secured their basic livelihood, but their income level is still not high, and the foundation for poverty relief is still relatively fragile; Some marginal households are already wobbly, and they may become poor immediately in case of a slight risk change; Industries in poverty-stricken areas have generally started, but the support of technology, capital, talents and market is not strong. In some places, industries may collapse as soon as they help cadres withdraw. In the next step, the task of preventing poverty return in poverty relief areas is still very heavy. We should consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty relief and effectively connect them with rural revitalization. There is no gap in work and policies. There must be no announcement of comprehensive poverty relief here and large-scale poverty return there.
We should improve the dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism for preventing poverty return, implement regular monitoring of the population vulnerable to poverty return, focus on monitoring the change of income level and the consolidation of “two worries and Three Guarantees”, achieve early detection, early intervention and early assistance, and continue to implement accurate policies. For those who have the ability to work, we should adhere to the policy of development assistance, help them become rich through hard work with their own hands, can not rely on money to support others, and prevent them from falling into welfare traps and policies to support lazy people. For the population without the ability to work, we should do a good job in providing comprehensive security, timely integrate it into the existing social security system, and gradually improve the level of security. We should continue to provide industrial assistance to poverty-stricken areas, make up for shortcomings in technology, facilities and marketing, and promote industrial upgrading. Nearly 10 million people have been relocated for poverty alleviation in other places, which is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized country. Many large-scale centralized resettlement areas are almost new towns from the ground. We should strengthen follow-up support for relocation, promote employment through multiple channels, strengthen supporting infrastructure and public services, and do a good job in social management to ensure that the relocated people can live stably, have employment and gradually become rich. Poverty alleviation has formed huge poverty alleviation assets. We should find out the bottom line of these assets, strengthen supervision and ensure their continued role.
The CPC Central Committee has decided to set up a five-year transition period from the date of poverty alleviation for counties that get rid of poverty after the completion of the poverty alleviation goal and task.
During the transition period, we should maintain the overall stability of the main assistance policies. Optimize and adjust the existing assistance policies item by item, reasonably grasp the adjustment rhythm, intensity and time limit, and gradually realize the smooth transition from centralized resources to supporting poverty alleviation to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. Relevant departments should sort out the specific policies in various fields and issue operational documents and work plans. We should adhere to and improve the system of selecting the first secretary and Task Force stationed in key villages, continue to adhere to the mechanisms of cooperation between the East and the west, counterpart support and social assistance, and improve them in a timely manner according to the changes of the situation and tasks. We should adjust and optimize the functions of poverty alleviation offices at all levels in a smooth and orderly manner, so as to ensure that our thinking is not disordered, our work is continuous, our team is not scattered and our energy is not reduced. We should consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation into the performance evaluation scope of city and county Party and government leading groups and leading cadres in promoting the strategy of Rural Revitalization.
III. firmly grasp the initiative of food security
“Grain is the life of all the people and the treasure of the country.” I have repeatedly stressed that more and less food is a tactical issue, and food security is a strategic issue. This year’s response to the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic has contributed to the abundant supply of grain and important agricultural and sideline products, which fully confirms this point.
The tight balance between grain supply and demand in China has not changed. Structural contradictions have just begun to be solved, and the problem of insufficient aggregate has become prominent again. In the coming period, food demand will continue to increase, and the tight balance between supply and demand will become tighter and tighter. In addition, the international situation is complex and grim. The string of ensuring food security should always be very tight. It is better to produce more and reserve more. More pressure and less pressure are different. Grain production should be stepped up year by year. The area and output should not fall down, and there should be no problems in supply and market.
“The people do not eat unless they are in the valley, and the valley does not live unless it is in the earth.” Cultivated land is the lifeblood of grain production. As early as 2013, I said that we should protect cultivated land like giant pandas and strictly guard against the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land. In recent years, I have successively put forward requirements for the clean-up and rectification of greenhouse houses, illegally built villas, building houses by misappropriating cultivated land, curbing the “non-agricultural” of cultivated land and preventing the “non grain” of cultivated land, and the relevant departments have played a set of combined punches. However, the chaos of cultivated land continues despite repeated prohibitions. For example, some places occupy basic farmland, engage in greening and afforestation, dig lakes and create landscapes, and some places occupy good farmland on both sides of roads, railways and rivers to build green belts tens or even hundreds of meters wide. We have a lot of land, but compared with the demand of 1.4 billion people, it is a scarce resource! Land must be used for urban construction, industry and ecological protection. We must make careful calculations and prioritize. We must not occupy cultivated land and engage in afforestation against the laws of nature. The existing cultivated land for grain production in all provinces, autonomous regions and cities must be preserved and can no longer be reduced! To ensure cultivated land, we should not only ensure quantity, but also improve quality. The construction of high-standard farmland is an important starting point. We should unswervingly grasp it, improve the construction standards and quality, and truly ensure the harvest, high and stable yield in drought and flood. This determination must be made and the money we should take must be taken! We should take the protection of black land as a major event and make good use of and raise it. We should take hard measures to “grow teeth” and implement the strictest farmland protection system. Those who fail to comply with orders, prohibitions and dereliction of duty shall be seriously investigated for responsibility.
There is so much arable land. The fundamental way to stabilize and increase production lies in science and technology. A new round of agricultural science and technology revolution characterized by biotechnology and information technology is giving birth to great breakthroughs, and all countries are seizing the commanding heights. As a large agricultural country, we must not lag behind. We should adhere to the self-reliance and self-improvement of agricultural science and technology, and accelerate the tackling of key core agricultural technologies. After thinking over and over again, I feel that one thing must be clear, that is, agricultural modernization, seeds are the foundation. I specifically emphasized this issue at the central economic work conference. This equipment, that equipment, this condition, that condition, it is difficult to realize agricultural modernization without improved seeds! The progress of soybean seeds is not ideal after many years. We should show the drive to break through the “neck” technology, clarify the direction and objectives, accelerate the implementation of major scientific and technological projects of agricultural biological breeding, and realize the independent control of important Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) seed sources as soon as possible. Relevant departments should speed up the R & D and application of biological breeding on the premise of strict supervision and controllable risk. We should speed up the opening of channels for science and technology to enter villages and households, and promote the coordinated development of government public welfare services and market socialized services. We should not only develop Jiangsu Nonghua Intelligent Agriculture Technology Co.Ltd(000816) , but also make up for the shortcomings of modern agricultural material equipment such as drying and storage, cold chain preservation and agricultural machinery. In particular, we should strengthen the independent research and development of important agricultural equipment and strengthen the construction of animal and plant epidemic prevention and quarantine system and disaster prevention and reduction system.
The key to mobilizing farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain is to make farmers earn money from growing grain. In recent years, the cost of growing grain has increased, the efficiency is not high, and many places have even suffered losses for years. We should stabilize and strengthen subsidies for grain farmers, improve the ability to regulate collection and storage, adhere to and improve the minimum purchase price policy, and expand the coverage of full cost insurance and income insurance. At present, a major weakness of grain production is the high production cost. The solution is to innovate the mode of operation. We should cultivate family farms and farmers’ cooperatives, develop appropriate scale operation, improve the professional and socialized service system, and hand over the things that cannot be done and are not cost-effective to socialized service organizations. We should strengthen the training of farmers’ agricultural production technology and management ability and promote the modernization of management.
Local Party committees and governments at all levels should shoulder the political responsibility for food security. In recent years, China’s grain production has obviously concentrated in the main production areas, which is reasonable, but excessive concentration will also bring risks. If all localities only want to eat, do not want to grow grain, only want to eat meat and do not want to raise pigs, who will guarantee the supply! Grain should not be regarded as a general commodity. We should only calculate the economic account, not the political account, the immediate account and not the long-term account. The main production area, the main sales area and the production and marketing balance area all have the responsibility to ensure the area and output. The rice bowl should be served together and the responsibility should be carried together. This is the greatest of the country! Food security should be the responsibility of both the party and the government. The governor of the “rice bag” should be responsible, as should the secretary. For a long time, major grain producing provinces, cities and counties have made important contributions to ensuring national food security, which is worthy of praise. We should improve the compensation mechanism for the interests of major grain producing areas and strengthen the compensation for large awards. We must not let heavy agriculture catch up with grain suffer losses!
From April 25 to 27, 2021, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping inspected Guangxi. On the morning of the 25th, Xi Jinping in maozhushan village, caiwan Town, Quanzhou County, Guilin City, walked into the vineyard and had a cordial exchange with agricultural technicians and villagers.

At present, the food consumption structure of urban and rural residents is constantly upgrading. In the future, the supply of Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) should be guaranteed not only in quantity, but also in diversity and quality. We should further promote the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, and promote the cultivation of excellent varieties, quality improvement, brand building and standardized production. We should continue to do a good job in the recovery of pig production and promote the stable development of the industry. For some large-scale Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) production such as soybeans, cotton, corn and wheat, we should pay close attention to research and deployment. Those who should expand production should be determined decisively and can’t let others seize us! This is a major event involving national security! We should play the card of Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) trade well, but the key is to control risks, be replaceable and be prepared, implement the Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) import diversification strategy, support enterprises to go global, improve the control ability of key logistics nodes and enhance the toughness of the supply chain. To ensure food security, we should conduct in-depth research, formulate plans and implement them one by one. Stopping food and beverage waste has improved recently. We must pay attention to it for a long time and promote the whole society to form a good fashion of diligence and thrift.
IV. comprehensively promote rural revitalization and achieve results
Over the past few years, the revitalization of rural areas has been moving. All localities have made active exploration and achieved some results. Now it is time to promote it in an all-round way.
The depth, breadth and difficulty of fully implementing the Rural Revitalization Strategy are no less than those of poverty alleviation. We must strengthen the top-level design and promote it with stronger measures and stronger forces. Here, I would like to emphasize a few more things.
From March 22 to 25, 2021, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping inspected Fujian. On the afternoon of the 23rd, Xi Jinping during his inspection in Yubang village, Xiamao Town, sanmingsha County, had a cordial conversation with the villagers at the snack stand. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Ye / photo
first, accelerate the development of rural industries at present, rural industries all over the country have a certain foundation. In some places, the development momentum of Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) new business forms is very good and prosperous. This year, I saw in a village in Qinling mountain area of Shaanxi that the small fungus in the gully has become a big industry. I also saw in Datong, Shanxi that the construction of a large base around xiaohuanghua has become a pillar industry for local farmers to get rich. However, from a national perspective, the development of rural industry is still in the primary stage. The main problems are small scale, scattered layout, short chain, low variety, quality and brand level, and prominent industrial homogenization in some places. We should adapt to the consumption needs of urban and rural residents, comply with the law of industrial development, based on local characteristic resources, expand rural multiple functions, March in breadth and depth, and promote the development and growth of rural industries.
Now, the development of rural industries is not like planting a few acres of land and raising a few pigs in the past. If conditions permit, we should expand the space for industrial value-added efficiency through the whole industrial chain and create more employment and income opportunities. We should actively develop the Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) processing industry, optimize the industrial layout, promote the transformation of rural areas from selling original brand names to selling finished products, and keep more value-added income in the county. To develop rural tourism, leisure agriculture, cultural experience, health care, e-commerce and other Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) new business forms, we should not only have speed, but also high quality to achieve health and sustainability.
To develop rural industries, we should let farmers have jobs and earn money. In the process of agricultural industrial upgrading in many places, the scale is often larger and larger, the employment is less and less, and the participation of farmers is lower and lower, which is the result of the spontaneous action of the market. However, we should grasp the degree, not forget the farmers, improve the interest connection mechanism, and let farmers participate as much as possible through “resources into assets, funds into shares and farmers into shareholders”. We should form a pattern of complementary advantages and division of labor and cooperation between enterprises and farmers in the industrial chain. Farmers should try their best to let farmers do what they are capable of, and enterprises should do what they are good at, so that farmers can share more industrial value-added benefits. We should take the agricultural modernization demonstration area as an important starting point to promote agricultural modernization, carry out the establishment with the county as the unit, and form a pattern of echelon promotion of agricultural modernization.
It is generally reported that there are still many policy blocking points and pain points in the development of rural industry, the most prominent of which is the difficulty of land use and loans. Rural construction land needs to be given some new construction land indicators, but also rely on internal tapping potential. We should deepen the reform of rural credit cooperatives, replenish the capital of small and medium-sized banks through multiple channels, and promote rural financial institutions to return to their roots. The characteristic Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) insurance carried out in some places is welcomed by farmers. This is a direction. We should sum up experience and speed up the promotion.
second, strengthen the construction of socialist spiritual civilization villages should not only shape, but also cast souls. The construction of rural spiritual civilization is the work of moistening, moralizing and uniting the people. We should make continuous efforts and make full efforts. We should strengthen ideological and moral construction in rural areas, carry forward and practice the core socialist values, promote ideological and political work in rural areas, and boost the vitality of the farmers. We should carry out various forms of mass cultural activities to breed good trends in rural society. We should popularize scientific knowledge, promote the transformation of Customs in rural areas, get rid of stereotypes and bad habits such as high price bride price gifts, human comparison, thick burial and thin upbringing, extravagance and waste, oppose superstitious activities, and promote the formation of civilized rural customs, good family customs and simple folk customs. We should pay attention to the education and spiritual and cultural life of rural teenagers, improve work measures, increase resource investment, and promote their healthy growth.
third, strengthen the construction of rural ecological civilization over the past few years, we have made great efforts in the construction of ecological civilization, the rural ecological environment has continued to improve, and the green development of agriculture has made remarkable progress. At present, the control of agricultural non-point source pollution and the improvement of rural ecological environment are still at the juncture of controlling the stock and curbing the increment. It is time for us to lose a penny and retreat a thousand yards. We should maintain strategic concentration, formulate more specific and operational measures, promote the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution in the spirit of nailing nails, pay attention to the reduction of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the control of white pollution, the resource utilization of livestock manure and straw, and strengthen the control and restoration of soil pollution, groundwater overexploitation, water and soil loss. These efforts should be matched with the overall deployment of the national ecological civilization construction, keep pace with the pace and constantly achieve practical results.
Agriculture is an ecological industry, and rural areas are an important part of the ecosystem. We should improve the system of recuperation in grasslands, forests, rivers and lakes, consolidate the achievements of returning grazing land to grassland and farmland to forests, carry out large-scale land greening actions, and strengthen the protection of biodiversity. There should be a scientific plan in this regard. The management of barren mountains, deserts, beaches, forests and grasslands should be adapted to local conditions and in line with reality. It can not be a routine. The Yangtze and yellow river basins are the main battlefields of ecological civilization construction, and the task of agriculture and rural areas is very arduous. The Yangtze River Basin should pay close attention to the 10-year fishing ban, strengthen law enforcement supervision and market supervision, and properly solve the problems of fishermen changing jobs and social security. The Yellow River Basin should pay close attention to deep water-saving and water control in agriculture, develop water-saving agriculture and dry farming agriculture due to water planting, and improve the efficiency of agricultural water use and save the total amount. Achieving peak carbon emissions by 2030, carbon neutralization by 2060, emission reduction and carbon sequestration in agriculture and rural areas are both important measures and potential. In this regard, we should make scientific calculations, formulate feasible plans and take effective measures.
fourth, deepen rural reform comprehensively promote rural revitalization, we must make good use of the magic weapon of reform. We should accelerate the reform of key areas and key links in rural areas and stimulate the vitality of rural resource elements. The second round of land contracting is about to expire one after another. We should do a good job in extending the pilot for another 30 years to keep the rural land contracting relationship stable and unchanged for a long time. Rural Homestead reform should be carried out steadily and carefully. We should complete the phased tasks of the reform of the rural collective property right system, make good use of the achievements of the reform, and develop and expand the new rural collective economy. We should improve the system of agricultural support and protection, and continue to take agriculture and rural areas as the priority guarantee area of the general public budget. We should deepen the comprehensive reform of supply and marketing cooperatives, improve the system, optimize functions and change work style, so as to better serve “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. Anything that involves the basic rights and interests of farmers and affects the whole body, we must see it and change it again, and maintain historical patience. We should respect the creativity of the grass-roots and the masses, encourage local governments to actively try and boldly break through, make good use of the means of pilot experiments, and promote new breakthroughs in reform.
fifth, implement rural construction the next period will be a stage of rapid evolution of China’s rural form. What kind of villages to build and how to build villages are an important topic in front of us.
At present, expanding domestic demand, stabilizing investment and engaging in construction cannot only focus on cities and towns. There are still many debts in rural areas, and there is a lot of room for investment. In recent years, rural infrastructure has been significantly improved, but there are still obvious weak links in covering villages and extending to households. We should continue to focus on rural areas in the construction of public infrastructure, and we should speed up making up for shortcomings. We should continue to promote the equalization of basic public services between urban and rural areas, and pay attention to strengthening the construction of inclusive, comprehensive and basic people’s livelihood. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, we should continue to promote the improvement of rural living environment, focus on toilet improvement and sewage and garbage treatment, and improve the long-term mechanism of domestic garbage treatment.
From January 19 to 21, 2020, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping came to Yunnan to visit cadres and people of all ethnic groups and extend New Year greetings to the people of the whole country. On the afternoon of the 19th, Xi Jinping in simora Wa village, Sanjia village, Qingshui Township, Tengchong City, learned about the revitalization of the countryside and the construction of villages with ethnic minority characteristics.

Rural construction should follow the law of urban and rural development and construction, and achieve planning before construction. Now, the concentration of rural population to cities and towns is a general trend, and the pattern of villages will continue to evolve and differentiate. Some villages will gather more people and industries, some will gradually integrate with cities and towns, and some will gradually decline. We should reasonably determine the layout and classification of villages, work first if we can see it, and wait if we can’t see it. Rural construction should pay attention to the protection of traditional villages and rural characteristics, not one style to the end, one color to the end. Some places fail to grasp it well. Some blindly demolish and build large-scale buildings, seek foreign countries, and build large squares and scenic spots; Some machines copy the set of urban construction, making cities unlike cities and villages like villages; Some have gone beyond the stage of development and engaged in large-scale village mergers and acquisitions against the wishes of farmers. Rural construction is built for farmers. We must really do good things and practical things.
Rural construction should be done in a timely manner and should be carried out steadily for a long time. When I worked in Zhejiang, I started with the “demonstration of thousands of villages and renovation of thousands of villages”. Successive provincial Party committees and provincial governments worked to the end with a blueprint. More than ten years of efforts have greatly changed the appearance of the countryside. Of course, local conditions are different, so we should strengthen classified guidance, not one size fits all, engage in sports, and do not go beyond the stage of development.
sixth, promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas has achieved tangible results revitalizing the countryside should not be based on the countryside. Instead, we should strengthen the use of industry to supplement agriculture and the use of cities to lead the countryside, and speed up the formation of a new type of industrial agricultural urban-rural relationship with mutual promotion between industry and agriculture, urban-rural complementarity, coordinated development and common prosperity.
At present, the urbanization rate of China’s permanent population has exceeded 60%. The next 15 years will be a window period for breaking the urban-rural dual structure and improving the system and mechanism of urban-rural integrated development. We should put forward clearer requirements from the aspects of planning and element allocation, and strengthen overall planning and top-level design. The policy of increasing the proportion of land transfer income used in agriculture and rural areas has been issued. All localities should pay close attention to the implementation and can not play digital games. It is a general trend for farmers to work in cities. We should open the “city gate” that should be opened to promote the citizenization of agricultural transfer population. Farmers entering the city should conform to the objective law, maintain historical patience, do not make great progress, and do not be driven by the incorrect concept of political achievements.
From September 25 to 28, 2018, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping visited the three northeastern provinces and presided over the Symposium on further promoting the revitalization of the northeast. On the afternoon of the 25th, Xi Jinping held a cordial conversation with farm workers on the 10000 mu land of Qixing farm of Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation and construction Sanjiang Administration Bureau.

We should take the county as an important entry point for the integrated development of urban and rural areas, promote the overall planning of the county in terms of spatial layout, industrial development and infrastructure, handle the relationship between urban and rural areas, and design and promote it together. We should strengthen the overall planning of infrastructure and public utilities in counties and villages, accelerate the formation of a construction and management pattern in which the functions of counties and villages are connected and complementary, and promote the optimal allocation of public resources in counties. We should give more autonomy to the integrated use of resources at the county level, strengthen the comprehensive service capacity of the county, and build the township into a regional center serving farmers.
seventh, strengthen and improve rural governance the prevention and control of covid-19 pneumonia is also a big test for rural governance, and all localities have withstood the test. At present, China’s rural society is in a period of profound change and adjustment, and there are many new situations and problems. Although they are complex, they can be summed up as “scattered”. To strengthen and improve rural governance, we should give priority to ensuring and improving rural people’s livelihood, and speed up the construction of a rural governance system led by Party organizations around giving farmers better organizational guidance, social services and democratic participation. We should consolidate the achievements of the special struggle against criminal syndicates and evil forces in rural areas and form a high-pressure situation of continuous crackdown. We should further promote the construction of safe villages, severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as controlling grass-roots political power, manipulating and destroying grass-roots general elections and embezzling collective assets, and stop the use of religions and cults to interfere in rural public affairs according to law. We should make good use of modern information technology, innovate rural governance methods and improve the level of rural good governance.
v. strengthening the party’s overall leadership over the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”
To comprehensively promote rural revitalization, we must improve the party’s organizational system, institutional system and working mechanism of leading rural work, and improve the party’s ability and level of comprehensively leading rural work in the new era.
Last year, the CPC Central Committee issued the regulations of the Communist Party of China on rural work, one of which is that five level secretaries should pay attention to rural revitalization. Party committees at all levels should shoulder their political responsibilities, implement the policy of giving priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, and promote rural revitalization with greater efforts. In particular, the Secretary of the county Party committee should focus on the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” and be the “front-line commander in chief” of Rural Revitalization. There are many departments involved in Rural Revitalization. Party committees at all levels above the county level should give full play to the role of the rural work leading group in taking the lead, overall planning and coordination, and improve the mechanisms of deliberation and coordination, supervision and assessment. The purpose of this reform is to strengthen the leadership of the Party committee in rural areas. The rural work departments of some local Party committees are short of major generals and have a bumpy operation. We should pay close attention to replenishing our strength, improve the operation mechanism and strengthen it.
Rural Revitalization policies ultimately depend on rural grass-roots party organizations to implement. Over the years, I have been to many villages and found that all those who have developed well have a good branch and secretary. Next year, the township and village will be changed in a centralized way. We should make plans and take measures early, select and strengthen the township leading group, the members of the village “two committees”, especially the Secretary of the village Party organization. We should highlight the work orientation of grasping the grass-roots level, strengthening the foundation and consolidating the basic, promote the sinking of all kinds of resources to the grass-roots level, and create better conditions for grass-roots officers to start businesses. At present, a prominent problem reflected by the grass-roots level is the proliferation of “surface sea” and “meeting sea”, a lot of “punch in” and “assessment”, and “a thousand hammers above and a nail below”. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to this matter and has carried out special treatment. The situation has improved, but we still need to take some strong medicine and make unremitting efforts.
The key to Rural Revitalization lies in people and work. We must build a contingent of Rural Revitalization cadres with excellent politics, skills and work style. A number of outstanding cadres should be selected and sent to the front-line posts of Rural Revitalization. Rural Revitalization should be regarded as a broad stage for training and training cadres, and priority should be given to cadres who have outstanding performance in difficult areas and key posts. In the new development stage, the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” is more complex, there are many new situations and problems, and the requirements are higher. Cadres at all levels should strengthen theoretical study, investigation and research, and enhance their ability to do a good job in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. We should attract all kinds of talents to make contributions in Rural Revitalization. We should widely rely on farmers, educate and guide farmers, organize and drive farmers, stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of farmers, devote ourselves to Rural Revitalization and build a better home.
