At the beginning of the new year, the "Opinions of the Communist Party of China on Learning and Using the Experience of the "Thousand Village Demonstration and Ten Thousand Village Renovation" Project to Effectively and Effectively Promote the Comprehensive Revitalization of the Countryside was released, which is the 12th document guiding the work of "three rural" since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. **When the general secretary was working in Zhejiang, he personally planned and promoted the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" project (hereinafter referred to as the "Ten Million Project"), starting from the improvement of the rural environment, from the point to the surface, iterative upgrading, continuous efforts have created thousands of beautiful villages, benefited thousands of farmers, and created a successful experience and practical example of promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
The "Ten Million Project" is a good practice and experience in promoting rural revitalization.
The "Ten Million Project" has created a practical example of Chinese-style agricultural and rural modernization, and is a moral and political project and happiness project that conforms to the will of the people, benefits the people's livelihood, and wins the hearts of the people. On the one hand, the "10 Million Project" thinks about what the peasants think and is anxious about what the peasants are anxious about. It starts from the environmental problems that the peasant masses have strongly resented, and uses "small incisions" to pry into the great changes in the countryside, vividly interpreting the original intention of the communists to seek happiness for the people. On the other hand, the "Ten Million Project" adheres to the pragmatic style of proceeding from reality. Based on the reality of large differences in rural areas and unbalanced economic and social development, it determines the development direction of villages according to different topography and landforms such as mountainous areas, plains, and islands, and builds a modern version of the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" with its own characteristics according to the conditions of the villages. When promoting the "Ten Million Project", we should insist on grasping the modernization of things and the modernization of people at the same time, promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas at the county level in a panoramic way, and realize the beauty of urban and rural areas.
"Ten Million Project" is the source of practice for China's comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization. It rehearses a series of issues such as what should be done, how to do and what to do in the process of rural revitalization, what enlightenment does the experience form have for rural revitalization in other regions, what should we learn from it, and what remains unchanged in the changes? Its underlying logic is the constant in all changes, and it can be applied to new changes in the face of changes, and new methods will be generated. So, what is the underlying logic of the "Ten Million Project" to promote rural revitalization? The Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on In-depth Study of the Experience of Zhejiang's "Ten Million Project" pointed out that to learn and apply the experience of the "Ten Million Project", it is necessary to deeply grasp the worldview and approach of the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era. We must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy and take the realization of the people's yearning for a better life as the starting point and the end goal. It can be seen that the underlying logic and core password of the "Ten Million Project" to promote rural revitalization are people, and the key to rural governance lies in people, and we must firmly grasp the main contradiction and actual situation of farmers' needs, and promote the continuous evolution of the relationship between farmers and collectives. The "Ten Million Project" is a profound adjustment of the relationship between urban and rural areas and the relationship between man and nature, and a major change in the mode of production, lifestyle and governance in rural areas. The most important thing in grasping rural revitalization is to unite people's hearts in combination with the actual situation in rural areas. Only when the relationship between peasants and collectives and organizations develops to the level of a community of undertakings can a good situation be formed for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside with effective governance and mass participation.
Learn and apply the experience of "Ten Million Project" according to local conditions.
**During his work in Zhejiang, the general secretary repeatedly asked to "proceed from the reality of large differences in rural areas in Zhejiang, unbalanced economic and social development and unbalanced progress of project construction". From the very beginning, the "Ten Million Project" has put forward task requirements for "demonstration villages" and "renovation villages". With the deepening of the work, the objectives and priorities of remediation and construction have been further classified and refined for developed and underdeveloped areas, suburban villages and traditional agricultural areas, hilly and mountainous areas, and island fishing villages. Now Zhejiang has put forward the specific requirements of "unification, three modernizations and nine scenarios" for the construction of "future villages", and each scenario also has a detailed index system and operational guideline manuals, forming a modular promotion method that fits the actual situation. In the new era and new journey, all localities should also scientifically grasp the gap between urban and rural areas and regional gaps, classify and clarify the key points of construction according to the natural conditions, economic level, and resource advantages of the countryside, keep pace with the times, continuously enrich the content and improve the level, and create a "model" of rural revitalization with its own characteristics.
At the beginning of the implementation of the "Ten Million Project", according to the scientific method of adapting measures to local conditions and classifying policies, the construction mode was determined by classification, and the "one village, one policy" was formulated, so as to promote the formation of "one village, one product" and "one village, one rhyme", so that tens of millions of villages in Zhejiang Province could find their own development model and form a practical modular approach to promote the work. The soul and essence of learning from the experience of the "Ten Million Project" lies in understanding the concepts and methods that run through it. There are still great differences in the development speed and concept of rural areas in the north and south, so it is necessary to adhere to the combination of adapting measures to local conditions and drawing a blueprint to the end, and work steadily and for a long time. It is necessary to start from the perspective of "visible" rural construction, such as the environmental improvement of villages, the construction of infrastructure for water, electricity, gas and heating, etc., to lay a good foundation for rural modernization, and then from the perspective of "invisible" rural governance, we should build consensus and seek breakthroughs, so as to realize the level of rural social harmony, cultural prosperity, shared prosperity and deep integration and interaction between urban and rural areas.
Combined with the actual situation, find the entry point for learning and using the "Ten Million Project".
The press office held a press conference on February 4, and Han Wenxiu, deputy director of the Finance Office in charge of daily work and director of the Agricultural Office, said that the key to learning and applying the experience of the "Ten Million Project" is to find the right entry point and breakthrough point from the actual situation. Because the situation in China's rural areas is very different, and the natural conditions, customs, development levels, and work foundations of various localities are different, we cannot learn and apply the experience of the "10 Million Project" by copying cats and tigers, and we cannot practice "one size fits all" in isolation from reality. We must closely integrate our own reality, start with the outstanding problems that the peasant masses have strong reactions to, find out what to grasp, clarify how to grasp it, carry out work step by step, carry out work creatively, concentrate on doing a good job of doing a number of practical things that the masses can feel, and constantly achieve phased results in rural revitalization, so that the peasant masses can have a more fulfilling sense of gain, happiness and security.
On the one hand, it is necessary to vigorously carry out investigation and study, and proceed from reality to think about problems, make decisions, and handle affairs. The "Ten Million Project" is a major decision made by Comrade *** shortly after he went to work in Zhejiang, and spent 118 days traveling to 11 prefectures and cities, carefully inspecting village by village, and fully grasping the provincial and agricultural conditions. Over the past 20 years, every deepening of the "Ten Million Project" has been based on the results of investigation and research. Correct policy decisions are inseparable from investigation and study, and correct implementation is also inseparable from investigation and study. In the new era and new journey, it is necessary to continue to strengthen and improve investigation and research, focus on the study and implementation of the spirit of the first document in 2024, focus on key and difficult issues in reform, development and stability such as promoting rural revitalization, achieving common prosperity, and improving people's livelihood and well-being. The investigation and research of rural revitalization should adhere to the "rural front-line work method", that is, leaders command in the rural front-line, cadres work in the rural front-line, the situation is understood in the rural front-line, problems are solved in the rural front-line, the work is implemented in the rural front-line, the feelings are harmonious in the rural front-line, and the level is tested in the rural front-line. The needs of the peasant masses are in the first place, the work is difficult, and the urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks are in the first line. We must always adhere to the principle of "looking down, sinking down, and working downward", and focus our work on the front line, at the grassroots level, and on promoting development. If cadres do not "sweat" in their work, the peasant masses will be "on fire" in their hearts. In short, we must go to the peasant masses to listen, think from the perspective of the peasant masses, and act towards the needs of the peasant masses.
On the other hand, it is necessary to find a breakthrough point based on reality. The "Ten Million Project" is a rural development path with distinctive Chinese characteristics that conforms to the current situation and implements the two-wheel drive of "new urbanization and rural revitalization". The "Ten Million Project" takes the construction of beautiful villages to improve the living environment in rural areas as the main starting point and breakthrough point for narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas, and promotes the process of "cities feeding back to rural areas" and gradually realizing common prosperity. According to the document, the current and future periods, the focus of promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside can be summarized as "two guarantees, three promotions, and two strengthenings". The two "guarantees" refer to ensuring national food security and ensuring that there is no large-scale return to poverty; The three "improvements" focus on the three dimensions of "rural industry", "rural construction" and "rural governance", clarify the acceleration of rural social and economic development, and put forward requirements for improving the quality and efficiency of various tasks; A "strengthening", that is, always emphasizing "strengthening the party's overall leadership over the 'three rural' work". In terms of improving the level of rural industrial development, it is necessary to promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas, promote the optimization and upgrading of agricultural product processing industry, promote the high-quality development of rural circulation, and strengthen measures to increase farmers' income. In terms of improving the level of rural construction, we will promote measures such as making up for the shortcomings of rural infrastructure, improving the rural public service system, promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas at the county level, and coordinating new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization. In terms of improving the level of rural governance, we insist on farmers playing the leading role, and promote the healthy development of mass cultural and sports activities such as "village BA", village super, and village evening. Document No. 1 in 2024 makes new arrangements for "prosperous development of rural culture". Rural revitalization should not only shape but also cast the soul. Rural culture is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and the countryside is the foundation of traditional culture. During the grassroots research, I heard that some grassroots cadres summarized the impact of a good cultural environment on the township customs and people's customs, saying: "One more stadium, one less casino; Look more at the famous characters and less at the quarrels. "Culture is man-made and man-made. To effectively and effectively promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, it is the right time for the "prosperity and development of rural culture" as an important entry point, and it will also provide lasting spiritual strength for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. Mobile phones have become the "new farming tools" of hundreds of millions of farmers, live streaming has become a "new farm work", and "new farmers" show the charm of rural culture through the new ** platform. With the help of the new platform, we should guide the majority of farmers to give full play to their own subjective initiative, create rural cultural organizations, self-direct and perform mass cultural and sports activities, and tap the vitality of rural culture in the new era and new journey with nostalgia as a link.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen publicity and guidance. Summarize and learn from the advanced models and excellent cases of using the experience of the "Ten Million Project" to promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas in a timely manner, display the effectiveness of rural revitalization through multiple channels and in an all-round way, and sing the bright theory of rural revitalization and China's economy.
