Compose a chapter of adhering to the original aspiration of putting the people at the center
Never forget your original intention, only then can you continue. After the reform and opening up, Zhejiang's industrial economy developed rapidly, but it also paid a huge ecological cost.For the past twenty years, Zhejiang has regarded the "Ten Million Project" as the largest livelihood project and popular support project, continuously improving rural production conditions, beautifying rural living environments, and improving the quality of life of farmers. It has also calculated the three "happiness accounts" for villagers, including the common prosperity account, the livelihood account, and the ecological account. In 2022, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Zhejiang Province increased to 37565 yuan, and the income gap between urban and rural residents narrowed to within 1.9. The income level of rural residents has been ranked first among all provinces and regions in China for 38 consecutive years. Zhejiang Province has promoted the integrated development of urban and rural areas through the "Ten Million Project", gradually narrowing the gap between urban and rural infrastructure, minimum living guarantee, and basic public services. The quality of rural living environment ranks among the top in the country, and the sense of gain, happiness, and security of farmers continues to increase.
In the new era and new journey, we must more consciously stand firm in the people's position. The people's position is the fundamental political position of the CPC, and it is a significant sign that a Marxist party is different from other parties.I will remember the worries of the people; I will do what the people hope for. Only by wholeheartedly doing what the people need and want, can our cause have a source of vitality and never cease. In the new era and new journey, we must take solving the most concerning, direct, and practical interests of the people as the starting point and foothold, deeply cherish the love for the people, abide by the responsibility for the people, and be good at seeking policies for the people. We must firmly stand on the people's position, always regard the people's aspirations for a better life as our goal of struggle, and make the work of benefiting the people's livelihood, warming their hearts, and conforming to public opinion reach the hearts of the people, stimulate their fighting spirit to the greatest extent, gather strength to the greatest extent, and write new and greater miracles.
Compose a Chapter of Party Building to Strengthen Grassroots Governance
Establish a work promotion mechanism where the top leaders of the Party and government are personally responsible, the leaders in charge are directly responsible, and each level is responsible for implementation. For the past twenty years, Zhejiang has adhered to strengthening the leadership of the Party as the key to carrying out the "Ten Million Project", strengthened Party building to promote rural revitalization, deepened "grid management and group services", implemented the "Zhejiang Twenty Principles" of rural Party building with high standards, vigorously implemented the "Red Roots and Strong Foundation Project", deepened the "Hundred Counties Striving for Innovation, Thousand Towns Upholding Positions, and Ten Thousand Villages Being Excellent" project, and effectively promoted the comprehensive progress and overall improvement of rural grassroots Party building. Incorporate the improvement of rural living environment into practical tasks for the masses, include it in the performance evaluation of party and government cadres, and strengthen rewards and punishments. Give full play to the leading role of the village party organization secretary and village committee director, and guide grassroots party members and cadres to take the lead and walk ahead. In 2022, the total assets of village level collectives in the province reached 880 billion yuan, accounting for one tenth of the national total. Administrative villages with annual operating income of collective economy exceeding 500000 yuan accounted for 51.2%, forming a vivid situation of strong collective economic strength, strong grassroots leadership team, and strong joint efforts to promote the "Ten Million Project".
In the new era and new journey, we need to highlight the clear guidance of focusing on grassroots work. Strengthening party building is an important magic weapon for our party to move from victory to victory. Highlighting political functions, enhancing organizational strength, and building rural grassroots party organizations into strong fortresses for promoting the Party's propositions, implementing Party decisions, leading grassroots governance, uniting and mobilizing the masses, and promoting reform and development. We should select and strengthen the leadership team of grassroots party organizations, fully leverage organizational advantages and functions, consolidate the thoughts, actions, strength, and wisdom of grassroots party members and the masses, promote the sinking of various governance resources to the grassroots, continuously stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the people, and form a good situation of cohesion, unity, and struggle.
Compose an innovative chapter in implementing the new development concept
Play the "ecological card" well and follow the path of ecological village building and ecological prosperity. In 2005, during his research in Yucun, Anji County, he proposed the development concept of "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as gold and silver" and guided practice, achieving a close integration and coordinated promotion of ecological construction and the "Ten Million Project". The "Ten Million Project" fundamentally reflects the transformation of development concepts and methods, achieving diversified integration of industrial construction, grassroots governance, rural cultural education and ecological protection, and environmental governance, forming a virtuous cycle of rural revitalization.
In the new era and new journey, we must always adhere to the new development concept, adhere to systematic thinking, fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, and integrate it into the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the "Four Comprehensives" strategic layout, and implement it throughout the entire process and various fields of economic and social development. Based on accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, correctly handling major relationships such as speed and quality, development and environmental protection, development and safety, strengthening forward-looking thinking, global planning, strategic layout, and overall promotion of the "five revitalizations" of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations, strengthening policy coordination and cooperation, and achieving a virtuous cycle of agricultural production, rural construction, and rural life ecology.
Compose a chapter on the style of investigation and research in Daxing
Investigation and research are the heirloom of our party and the fundamental skill for doing various work well.It is the scientific decision with "soil flavor" made on the basis of such in-depth and detailed research that has kept the "Ten Million Project" vigorous and lasting for 20 years.
The wise change according to the times, while the wise adjust according to the situation. Over the past twenty years, the construction of Zhejiang's "Ten Million Project" has been continuously extended and its content has been expanding. With the deepening implementation of the "Ten Million Project", its content has long gone beyond simple rural environmental improvement. The construction of rural infrastructure, equal allocation of basic public services between urban and rural areas, transformation of the "Two Mountains" theory, development of rural industries, rural governance, and construction of rural cultural auditoriums are constantly being enriched. The connotation continues to enrich, starting from "demonstration of thousands of villages and rectification of thousands of villages", deepening and upgrading to "exquisite products and beautiful villages", and then iteratively upgrading to "future prosperity of thousands of villages, common prosperity of thousands of villages", gradually forming a vivid situation of "thousands of villages moving towards the future, common prosperity of thousands of villages, urban-rural integration promotion, and overall creation and beauty".
The new era and new journey require continuous strengthening and improvement of investigation and research. The CPC, guided by Marxism, has been good at using the weapons of investigation and research to explore its own path since its birth. At present, the whole party is vigorously conducting investigations and research. Party members and cadres should enhance their ideological, political, and action consciousness in conducting investigations and research, use various forms to widely listen to opinions from all parties, fully understand the people's situation and public opinion, and gather the wisdom and strength of the masses. Only by being down-to-earth and sinking to the front line can decisions hit the "pain spot" and scratch the "itch spot". Only by mastering and practicing the basic skill of investigation and research can we understand the situation, identify problems, and propose ideas, policies, and plans that are in line with the actual situation, objective laws, and scientific spirit.
Compose a Practical Chapter of Drawing a Blueprint to the End
When the "Ten Million Project" was implemented in Zhejiang, two methods were adopted: first, an on-site meeting was held once a year, attended by the provincial party secretary, leading city and county cadres to inspect two or three demonstration villages and provide on-site guidance; The second is to hold an annual performance exhibition, where the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee personally oversees the deployment, implementation, demonstration and guidance, and mobilizes everyone's enthusiasm. For the past twenty years, Zhejiang has been steadfastly focusing on the goal of the "Ten Million Project", working one task after another and running one stick after another, continuously improving its work style, putting more effort and effort into implementation, maintaining work continuity and policy stability, and promoting the smooth completion of various construction tasks with a spirit of perseverance.
In the new era and new journey, we must be more down-to-earth and work hard.We should combine learning and applying the experience of Zhejiang's "Ten Million Project" with promoting the establishment and practice of a correct view of political achievements, and embrace the spiritual realm of "success does not necessarily come from me" and the mission of "success must come from me". We must closely focus on the central task of the Party, benchmark against the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, maintain historical patience, and be more attentive to the most urgent and difficult problems that the people are looking forward to. We must truly put our efforts into observing the truth, providing practical solutions, doing practical things, and seeking practical results, and strive to create achievements that can withstand the test of history and the people.
