CCTV News(Focus Interview): Today we will continue to watch “New Faces in Old Districts”. In May 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Red Army’s Long March Departure Assembly for an inspection tour. He visited the Central Red Army’s Long March Departure Memorial Hall. After that, he went deep into the fields of the capital and the people’s homes, caring about the lives of the people at home. “If you want to drink water and think about its source, you must not forget the people in the old Soviet area.” After entering a well-off society in an all-round way, how the people in the old area live is one of the things that General Secretary Xi is most concerned about. Today we are going to see how the life of the people in Yudu is now.
Yu is the starting place for the Long March of the Central Red Army. In October 1934, the central organs, the Central Military Commission and the main forces of the Central Red Army assembled here and set off on a long journey. There are more than 50,000 Gannan children in the team of 86,000, of which more than 10,000 are from Yudu. On May 20, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yudu to pay tribute to the Central Red Army’s Long March Departure Monument, and inspected the former site of the Central Red Army’s Long March Departure Site at the East Gate Ferry of the Capital County. He emphasized that we must keep in mind where the red regime came from and how the new China was established.
When meeting with representatives of the descendants of the Red Army and the families of revolutionary martyrs in Yudu County, General Secretary Xi Jinping said emotionally: “I am here to let the people of the whole country know that if the Communist Party of China does not forget its original aspirations, the entire Chinese people must also not forget their original aspirations. Don’t forget our revolutionary purpose, revolutionary ideals, our revolutionary predecessors and revolutionary martyrs, and don’t forget our old folks in the Soviet area.”
How the people in the old district live is one of the things that General Secretary Xi Jinping cares most about. After visiting the former site of the Long March departure of the Central Red Army, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Se-rich Vegetable Industrial Park in Tantou Village, Yudu County. Here, he carefully asked about the development of the industry and the employment situation of fellow villagers.
In 2019, Guo Yuehua and the villagers told the general secretary that the selenium-enriched vegetable industrial park, in accordance with the development model of “leading enterprises + cooperatives + farmers and poor households”, helped villagers in the village who could not go out to work to find jobs at their doorsteps, driving the villagers out of poverty and becoming rich.
General Secretary Xi Jinping expressed his appreciation: “The Communist Party is for the benefit of the people. The Party Central Committee is now thinking about it so that the majority of our people can live a good life, and the sesame seeds bloom steadily.”
The remarks of the general secretary greatly encouraged the people in the old district.
It’s another harvest season. Guo Yuehua and her helpers are rummaging in the greenhouse for ripe loofahs to be picked.
After the general secretary came to Tantou Village, the scale of the selenium-enriched industrial park continued to expand. Guo Yuehua helped the planting cooperative in the village manage a greenhouse and became a regular employee. The monthly basic salary alone was 2,700 yuan. Then, she boldly chose to start her own business, contracted a greenhouse, and her life has changed a lot.
The selenium-rich industry developed in Tantou Village has provided many villagers like Guo Yuehua with the opportunity to find employment at home. The annual income of each household is at least 10,000 yuan more.
Tantou Village has changed more than these. In 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Tantou Village and went to the home of villager Sun Guanfa. Sun Guanfa is a descendant of a Red Army martyr and a veteran. The General Secretary is concerned about his family’s income and where his son and daughter-in-law are employed.
Two years later, Sun Guanfa’s income doubled. Because of the newly established tourist cooperative in the village, he has a new job. Tantou Village is only a 15-minute drive from Yudu County. In recent years, the environment in the village has become better and better, and more and more guests come to visit. The towns and villages began to think about more ways to find employment, and they focused their attention on rural tourism supporting the cultivation of selenium-rich vegetables.
Sun Guanfa’s home is at the entrance of the village. He was hired as a receptionist for the tourism cooperative in the village. The living room at his home was turned into a rest station for tourists. He received a basic salary of more than 2,000 yuan per month. Seeing that the tourism industry in the village became more and more popular, Sun Guanfa also set up a country house.
Employment has stabilized, and the villagers have more expectations for a well-off life. In recent years, Tantou Village’s employment path has been promoted in Yudu County, introducing leading enterprises, developing modern agriculture, rural tourism, and diversified employment channels, absorbing 23,000 rural laborers to work at home.
The changes felt by the people in Yudu, an old district, are the epitome of changes across the country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country, our country has put stable employment in the first place, and insisted on implementing the employment priority strategy and active employment policy. In July 2018, the Central Economic Work Conference put forward the “six stability” policy. In April 2020, in response to the impact of the epidemic, the central government put forward a new task of “six guarantees”. With “six stability” and “six guarantees”, employment always ranks first.
In Yudu, from villages to towns, full employment allows people to enjoy a stable and stable happiness.
Siyuan community is a large community for resettlement of immigrants in Yudu County. There are more than 1,000 residents in the community who have relocated from the mountainous area. Clear their current work and income situation.
In 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during an inspection tour in Jiangxi that it is necessary to provide timely employment guidance and skills training for people with employment difficulties to ensure that they have access to employment and livelihood security. In Yudu, the community not only builds a bridge between enterprises and job-seeking residents, but also provides information on various skills training for people with employment difficulties.
Huang Genping saw the information about this free training through the WeChat group of the Siyuan community and signed up. Before, she had no job at home because the child was small, and the child can grow up to go to kindergarten. She feels that she still needs a job.
In recent years, relying on abundant human resources, Yudu County has designated the textile and garment industry as the primary industry under the general trend of the overall transfer of the coastal garment industry. Many textile and garment enterprises have been introduced. Grab the sweet pastry. In order to help more unemployed people find jobs in these enterprises, the local employment department commissioned the county’s vocational technical secondary schools to provide preliminary employment training for zero-based job seekers. The ten-day training has not yet ended, and some business leaders stepped on the spot to come here.
On the last day of the training, the company received all the trainees from the company and introduced the relevant situation of its own company.
Employment is the greatest livelihood of the people. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has always put the people’s livelihood, safety, and warmth at heart, doing everything possible to stabilize employment and promote employment to lay a solid foundation for the improvement of people’s living standards.
The Long March has long been triumphed, and the old districts have been given a new look. Nowadays, Yudu has a thriving industry, and the people have a rich life. Behind all the stable jobs are individuals who realize themselves and families pursuing a better life.
In Yudu, what we see is a new and old district with thriving industries and affluent people. By developing industries according to local conditions and expanding employment channels at his doorstep, Yu Du found the right path. The people in the old districts found jobs nearby, increased their incomes, and improved their lives. Not only did the old districts have a new look, but the mental outlook of the people in the old districts was also refreshed. The next development is full of longing. In order for the people to live a good life, it is necessary to solve the biggest livelihood of employment, the biggest livelihood of employment is solved. Individuals have income, families are guaranteed, life can be stable, and gradually become rich, the people in the old districts will be more enthusiastic. The local economy is more dynamic, and the development of the old districts is more promising.
