Hubei: Practicing "Three Strictnesses and Three Realities" and Building an "Iron Army" for Poverty Alleviation to Overcome Difficulties
Xinhua News Agency reporters Pi Shuchu and Li Wei
Accurate poverty alleviation, no one is left behind. Hubei promises to take the lead in building a well-off society in the central region in an all-round way, and by 2019, all the 5.9 million poverty-stricken people in the province will be lifted out of poverty. Since the beginning of this year, the reporter has gone deep into 10 poverty-stricken counties in Hubei and found that all localities have focused on solving the three core problems of "who to help", "who to help" and "how to help" in precision poverty alleviation. According to the requirements of "three strictness and three realities", the main position of poverty alleviation has been regarded as a learning and education testing ground for "two studies and one work" and an "iron army" has been built to help the poor.
Cadres "sink" and the real situation "floats up"
"After four months, 256 audit cadres were dispatched to carry out accurate identification audits, and 527,800 non-poor people with doubtful identities were eliminated. In time, 175,900 people who returned to poverty due to floods this summer were included in the filing card." Liu Changyi, deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office, told the reporter that Hubei strictly abides by the "accurate" and "real" bottom line, nails the "first button", improves the dynamic management mechanism, and ensures that "drip irrigation" reaches households to people.
In April this year, Tengchong Village, Fangfan Town, Dawu County, appeared the phenomenon that "the village announced poverty alleviation, and there were poor households after investigation", which caused widespread concern in society for a while. Today, Hubei emphasizes the strict criteria for listing poor villages and "looks back" on the work of filing and establishing cards.
In Zhaofengtai Village, Yesanguan Town, Badong County, Enshi Autonomous Prefecture, at the villagers’ "yard meeting" hosted by town and village cadres, cadres talked about policies, and the masses acted as "referees", which was regarded as "accurate accounts" recognized by the people. Let cadres go among ordinary people and settle accounts under the eyes of the masses. This is the accurate poverty alleviation experience explored by Badong County.
"Look at the house, look at the grain, look at whether the labor force is strong or not, look at whether there is a book reader, look at what industry is busy, and look at some possessions." In Fangxian County, Shiyan City, the "indigenous method" of knowing the true poverty summarized by local poverty alleviation cadres made Mao Jianquan, who came from Beijing to participate in poverty alleviation, feel very practical. Mao Jianquan said that the method of "six views" to know the real poverty has grasped the main factors that reflect poverty. As long as party member cadres "sink", the real situation will "float".
"There are three people in the family, and their right foot is disabled and lacks labor. Because of disability, they are poor. The land in the family is 4 or 5 mu, and I hope the land will be transferred. Children at home go to college, the tuition fee is high, and the financial burden of family education is heavy … …” Open the "poverty file" of Yin Youyong, a poor household in Xinwu Village, Wangying Town, Yangxin County, and it is clear at a glance about his family situation and causes of poverty. Wang Xunhe, the village party secretary, told the reporter that this provided a first-hand decision-making basis for accurate assistance and facilitated "the right medicine".
In order to get through the "drip irrigation" channel of accurate poverty alleviation, Hubei has comprehensively established a full coverage mechanism for poverty alleviation teams in poor villages. Each team member guarantees no more than four poor households, and it is absolutely not allowed to discount the pairing guarantee work.
"It is better for cadres to peel off their skins than for the masses to really get rich."
"I really didn’t expect my rice to sell at such a high price, and someone will keep buying it in the future!" In the farmhouse of poor household Zhang Shouguo, he said happily that his own rice was ordered. "Thanks to Director Zhou, there is no sorrow in building this house, and I will dare to think about it in the future!"
It turned out that Zhou Yujuan, a poverty alleviation cadre in Baocun, danjiangkou city, helped his family to replace improved rice varieties and sold them at high prices. Nowadays, poverty alleviation cadres in Hubei are playing the role of "information officers", inspiring poor households to get rid of poverty.
During the interview, the reporter found that grassroots cadres and the masses have confidence in getting rid of poverty through personal struggle after finding the right industry, but they are most worried about the factors of returning to poverty due to illness and unequal educational opportunities. Finding the right pain point is the focus of poverty alleviation. In practice, Hubei has explored powerful measures such as precision education and precision treatment to help the poor.
Yu Ming, secretary of the Party branch of Datun Village, Xuanhuadian Town, Dawu County, told the reporter that 50 poor households were identified through accurate identification. After re-classification of poor households, 13 poor students from 11 households were given precise poverty alleviation grants at the beginning of this year. Wang Zuhe, a poor household, has two children who are studying in junior high school and primary school respectively. According to the standard of accurate poverty alleviation and schooling assistance formulated by Dawu County, each person can enjoy subsidies of 5,200 yuan and 4,400 yuan each year, which solves the most general poverty problem in the family.
Some remote rural areas are far away from health centers, and villagers receive subsidies but can’t buy medicine or get money to buy medicine. Wang Gonggao, director of the Zigui County Poverty Alleviation Office, said that Zigui explored the direct drug supply system and changed the money to direct regular drug delivery to achieve accurate treatment.
"It is better for cadres to peel off their skins and for the masses to really get rich." During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, 3.53 million rural poverty-stricken people in Hubei Province were lifted out of poverty, and more than 20,000 poverty alleviation teams and nearly 100,000 party member cadres ran in the fields. Accurate poverty alleviation became the main battlefield to test the style of cadres.
"It is normal for cadres to report logs every day in Yunxi!" He Changsen, deputy director of the Organization Department of Yunxi County Committee, said that the local communication technology of "GPS++mobile phone+network" has formed an operation mode of "daily reporting, two-level management and three major mechanisms", and a "supervision network" for the daily work of poverty alleviation cadres has been closely woven.
Compacting responsibility and reshaping assessment orientation, cadres’ poverty alleviation is not "one-vote veto"
During the interview, the reporter found that all parts of Hubei Province have compacted the main responsibility and given "uncapping" time. In order to prevent the phenomenon of "digital poverty alleviation", Hubei has defined precise management, broadened the supervision space in all directions, and strengthened discipline and accountability.
Since the beginning of this year, in Yunyang District of Shiyan City, Yangxin County of Huangshi City, Tongshan County of Xianning City and other places, a group of poverty alleviation cadres have been "recalled" for accountability because of the slow progress of poverty alleviation work in poor villages.
As Hong ‘an County, an old revolutionary base in Dabie Mountain, the local government regards the evaluation of poverty alleviation as an important basis for the promotion and use of cadres, the annual assessment and the evaluation of the first, and establishes reward and punishment standards for county and township cadres respectively, rewards those who complete ahead of schedule within the target responsibility, and resolutely implements interview accountability for unfinished tasks within the time node.
"The key to getting rich is not getting rich, but cadres". The person in charge of the Organization Department of Hubei Provincial Party Committee said that the task of tackling poverty depends on the work of Qi Xin, the broad masses of cadres and people in party member in poverty-stricken areas, forming a joint force to tackle poverty.
This year, Hubei took the lead in interviewing nine county party secretaries who were lagging behind in poverty reduction. In order to make good use of the "baton" of assessment and supervision, Hubei has also issued a special policy to conduct annual evaluation and assessment of party committees, government leading bodies and major leaders in 37 poverty-stricken counties in the province. The achievements in poverty alleviation are directly linked to the appointment and dismissal of cadres.
