Provide practical examples of Chinese path to modernization Rural | Rural | Example
From the water towns in northern Zhejiang, to the hills in central Zhejiang, and then to the mountainous areas in southwestern Zhejiang, thousands of villages are all beautiful, and a beautiful picture of environment, industry, and life is slowly unfolding on the land of Zhijiang. In the 20 years since the implementation of the "Ten Million Project", the rural living environment has been deeply reshaped, urban-rural integration development has been promoted, rural industries have flourished, rural governance efficiency has been effectively improved, and the spiritual outlook of farmers has been continuously improved, which has had a wide impact both domestically and internationally.
The "Ten Thousand Thousand Project" is a major decision made by General Secretary Xi Jinping during his work in Zhejiang, in response to the imbalance and uncoordinated development between urban and rural areas, and in response to the yearning of the broad masses of farmers for a better life. The fruits of the "Ten Thousand Thousand Project" demonstrate the theoretical charm and practical power of Xi Jinping's thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
As an important lever to accelerate the construction of an ecological province, the "Ten Million Project" was an ecological construction project promoted by Zhejiang at that time, with the comprehensive improvement of village environment as the starting point. Over the past 20 years, starting from the "demonstration of thousands of villages and the rectification of thousands of villages", deepening and upgrading to the "exquisite and beautiful thousands of villages", and then iteratively upgrading to the "future and common prosperity of thousands of villages", through specific and systematic ecological construction ideas, the linkage effect of improving rural living environment has been played, profoundly affecting the production and living ecology of rural areas, and exploring a scientific path to strengthen rural living environment rectification, comprehensively promote rural revitalization, and build a beautiful China.
The "Ten Million Project" is not only an ecological project, but also a project to enrich the people. The "Ten Million Project" has effectively solved the relationship between environmental governance and development by adhering to ecological benefits and enriching the people. Zhejiang rural areas combine ecological environment construction with the development of characteristic industries according to local conditions, vigorously carry out the construction of characteristic villages based on advantageous industries, continuously transform the rich ecological resources in rural areas into green industries for farmers to become prosperous, and build an effective mechanism for "green mountains and clear waters" to nurture "golden mountains and silver mountains". The beautiful economy unleashes enormous potential, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents has increased from 5431 yuan in 2003 to 37565 yuan in 2022, an increase of 5.9 times. There are 743 scenic spots, 2170 characteristic boutique villages, and over 3 million beautiful courtyards built in the province, forming a development landscape of "one household, one scenery, one village, one painting, and one line, one scenery".
The "Ten Million Project" is a leading project for coordinated urban-rural development. One key to the success of the "Ten Million Project" is to take urban and rural areas as a whole, and coordinate planning and promotion in various aspects such as policy formulation, factor allocation, industrial cultivation, infrastructure construction, and public product supply. Under the guidance of the "Ten Million Project", urban and rural infrastructure has accelerated the integration of urban and rural infrastructure, achieved the same standard of minimum living allowances for urban and rural areas, and led the country in the equalization of basic public services. The "30 minute public service circle" and "20 minute medical and health service circle" in rural areas have basically formed, and the income ratio of urban and rural residents has narrowed from 2.43 in 2003 to 1.9 in 2022. The vivid portrayal of the integrated development of urban and rural areas in Zhejiang is that "cities have better countryside, and rural areas make cities more yearning".
Standing at a new starting point of 20 years, the new picture of the era of the "Ten Million Project", which is "led by thousands of villages, revitalized by thousands of villages, made the whole region rich, and made urban and rural areas harmonious", has set off a new upsurge in Zhijiang, and has also encouraged people in more regions to constantly transform the experience and practices of the "Ten Million Project" into the methods and effects of promoting Chinese path to modernization, so that more beautiful villages can emerge faster.
