Towards our well-off life
A well-off society is everyone's yearning. Nowadays, great changes have taken place in every family, every village and even every city.
My hometown is in Liyang rural area. According to my father, when I was a child, my grandparents, parents and aunts were all crowded into a small old house of 40 square meters. Every time a storm comes, a few pieces of old tiles on the roof creak, and when it rains heavily, they spill into the house through the cracks in the tiles, which makes my family suffer a lot. There is a bucket here and a basin there, and then a symphony is played in the room. When the typhoon comes, it is even more terrible. Outside the house, the roaring typhoon scraped the tiles on the roof from time to time, like "tile rain". After the typhoon, my family has to repair the house again. Now that the small old house has been demolished and three floors have been built, there will be no need to suffer at that time!
The changes in my hometown are really great. The pond in front of the house stinks, and the villagers pour garbage into it. Every summer, swarms of mosquitoes and flies are attracted, emitting an odor from time to time, and even the fish raised in it will suffocate to death. Last year, the pond changed. Now the pond is surrounded by a beautiful "scarf" inlaid with colorful "gems". After treatment, the water quality became crystal clear, and the breeze blew and rippled. It has become a good place for villagers to relax and enjoy the cool. In the evening, many people come here for a walk and fitness. Some people take a walk after dinner to breathe fresh air. It's really a wonderful enjoyment. Everywhere they go, they are covered with green grass. Birds are singing in the branches, as if singing that the party's policies are good and the people's lives are happy!
My hometown has really changed a lot, from black-and-white TV to color TV, from color TV to LCD TV, and then to using iPad to go online for classes. The society has developed rapidly, and new policies and new atmosphere have emerged. Let's keep pace with the times and keep moving forward!
Towards our well-off life
I have been fascinated by airplanes since I was a child. Dachang airport is 5 kilometers away from my home. I often go to the farmland near the runway to watch the plane take off, and my inner excitement is still fresh in my memory.
At that time, airplanes seemed far away from ordinary people, but I had the idea of "building an airplane when I grow up". After graduating from high school, I chose to enter a technical school and practice the basic skills of becoming an aviation industry worker. When I think of going into an airplane factory to build airplanes in the future, I practice harder.
1980, I got my wish and joined Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory (now Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd.). At first, I was engaged in repairing airplanes. I have repaired many types of aircraft, but most of them are from other countries. I am a little confused-if only I could participate in making our own aircraft! Fortunately, I got the opportunity to directly participate in the mold manufacturing of "Yun 10" aircraft parts. However, before the project was put into full play, it experienced a series of ups and downs, such as the shutdown of the project, the factory making ends meet, and the disassembly of McDonnell Douglas aircraft. My colleagues and I gritted our teeth. We believe that China will build its own big plane.
In 2002, the ARJ2 1 new regional aircraft project was approved, and the final assembly and manufacturing task fell on the shoulders of Comac. On May 1 1, 2008, China Commercial Aircraft Corporation was established, and the dust of C9 19 large passenger aircraft project was settled.
I tried my best to exert my skills, relying on a pair of hands and a traditional milling and drilling machine to complete the processing of one part after another. I am more motivated to think that these parts will be accurately installed on the aircraft made in our country. 1October 28th, 2008, 1 1, the first ARJ2 1 aircraft made its perfect maiden flight. I stood at the scene for a long time and was extremely excited.
In just a few years, from "staring at one plane" to "building multiple planes together", from experimental development to delivery of "three major airlines", it can be said that it is in full swing and triumphant progress. In July 10 and July 15 this year, the first ARJ2 1 aircraft of Air China and China Southern Airlines made their maiden flights respectively, and the ticket sales were hot. In the past four years, ARJ2 1 aircraft has safely transported more than 1 10,000 passengers, and the cause of large aircraft has faltered.
Last June 10, 1, I was invited to board the float of the mass parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. When I saw the Shanghai float carrying the C9 19 airplane model, I felt even more proud and responsible for "rejuvenating China".
The pursuit of dreams never stops. C9 19 jumbo will become the next domestic jumbo, and there is still a lot of work to be done.
Now, in Shanghai Lingang New District, the team of model worker innovation studio led by me is advancing production at an average rate of more than 800 parts per day, including nail-sized parts and house-sized parts. With the application of intelligent manufacturing technology, the production line has been upgraded intelligently and has no operation for 24 hours. Aircraft parts are continuously transported to the assembly site.
Over the past 40 years, I have followed China's civil aircraft industry through eventful years, and also felt the solid step of dreaming of a well-off society in the glorious journey of the development of large aircraft. I believe that China big planes will appear on more and more routes, taking passengers to see the world.
Towards our well-off life
New China has gone through a glorious course of more than half a century. Our socialist modernization has made great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. There is a dream behind this achievement-the Chinese dream.
Since the reform and opening up, with the development of production, the people's material life has also improved rapidly, and profound changes have taken place in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Half a century ago, China was a "ticket age" with scarce resources. However, today's market has a wide variety of goods, the speed of product upgrading is getting faster and faster, and new things are emerging one after another. The gap between the east, the middle and the west has gradually narrowed, and the economic benefits have also been significantly improved. Economic development has improved people's lives and brought us closer to the Chinese dream.
Although people's life has been greatly improved, we still have to face many difficulties and problems in our development. For example, employment, social security and other issues closely related to the interests of the masses. Therefore, we should continue to work hard for building a well-off society in an all-round way.
In the struggle to build a well-off society in an all-round way, our current goal is to quadruple the per capita GDP by 20 12 compared with 2008, and the comprehensive national strength and international competitiveness will be significantly enhanced. In order to make our motherland more prosperous and people happier, we should know how to contribute our youth and strength to the realization of the Chinese dream.
Development is important, but national unity and national spirit are equally important. Our country is well aware that in the process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we should carry forward the great spirit of the Chinese nation. Because carrying forward and cultivating the national spirit is related to the survival and development of the nation, the success or failure of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause and the great rejuvenation of our country.
The national spirit is profound and profound, and it is a powerful spiritual force for the continuous development and growth of the Chinese nation. National spirit is the soul of our nation and our extremely precious spiritual wealth. Only by carrying forward the national spirit can we concentrate the wisdom and strength of the people of all ethnic groups in the country and maintain the enterprising spirit of high spirits.
To strengthen the construction of socialist culture, we must also carry forward and cultivate the national spirit and carry forward the excellent traditions of our national culture. For example, in the long-term historical development, the Chinese nation has formed a national spirit of "unity, peace-loving, hard work, courage and self-improvement" with patriotism as the core. For another example, in the 1998 flood fighting and emergency rescue, the people of China formed the flood fighting spirit of "united as one, united as one, fearless of difficulties, tenacious struggle, perseverance and daring to win". Say it again,
In the earthquake relief operation in 2008, the people of China formed the spirit of "United as one, United as one, fearless, persevering, people-oriented, and respecting science". These great national spirits are worth learning. Teenagers are the hope and future of the country and the nation. Let's work together to write a new chapter in the national spirit. Let us vigorously advocate the national spirit in the society through various channels and forms, so as to make it the spiritual driving force for the people of all ethnic groups in the country to work hard and be high-spirited. The national spirit has made us take another step towards the Chinese dream. 10 My Excellent Prose on Chinese Dream, University Edition.
Every middle school student in contemporary China should be determined to serve the motherland, take the rejuvenation of China as his own responsibility, and put it into action. The most important thing is to study hard, develop his personal specialties in an all-round way, and strive to be a useful talent.
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", an old saying that inspires people to serve the motherland, is the motto of many people with lofty ideals, and is also the voice of contemporary China Everbright teenagers. It is also the dream of China people to think about how to plan their lives, be determined to succeed, make rational choices, shape a brilliant life with their talents and responsibilities, and create a bright future for their motherland. This lofty dream will be realized by our generation.
Towards our well-off life
2020 is the year of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the end of the 13 th Five-Year Plan. The majority of cadres in party member said that during this critical period, the CPC Central Committee has put forward a series of major measures to constantly solve the formalism problems that plague the grassroots, which will certainly inspire the majority of cadres to strengthen their confidence, be brave in taking responsibility, and forge ahead courageously towards the grand goal with a fine style.
There are many construction sites and migrant workers in Donggang Street, Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, and the resumption of production and epidemic prevention and control are under double pressure. Qin Zhao, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Donggang Street, said that we should make use of the opportunity of the CPC Central Committee to constantly solve formalism problems, build grass-roots party organizations into organizations with more fighting capacity, and hand over qualified answers in this big exam.
The more you get rid of poverty, the more you have to beat gongs and drums at the last minute. Lurong Township, Zhenfeng County, Southwest Guizhou Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture is one of the 20 poor towns in Guizhou Province. At present, Peng Yang, deputy head of science and technology in Lurong Township, is organizing farmers to plant passion fruit and protect seedlings.
"The notice has enhanced the enthusiasm of the majority of party member cadres in the fight against poverty." Peng Yang said, "There are still 686 people in 192 households in the township this year, and they have not been lifted out of poverty. The most important thing now is to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, and at the same time help the whole township to adjust its industrial structure and win back the lost time. "
Overcome the impact of the epidemic and do a good job of "six stabilities" and "six guarantees" in an all-round way. More and more grassroots cadres go deep into the masses, take the initiative to solve problems at the grassroots level and overcome difficulties at the front line.
Chen Yupeng, director of the Bureau of Commerce of Putian City, Fujian Province, recently paid close attention to the newly opened "foreign trade through train" in Putian. Recently, Putian opened a 24-hour special line to coordinate and solve the problems and difficulties existing in foreign trade enterprises' orders, employment, logistics, financing and supply chain in time. "In order to achieve the goal of stabilizing foreign trade, the party Committee and government encourage enterprises to actively develop new formats, increase the added value of products and open up more sales channels." Chen Yupeng said.
Face up to multiple difficulties and adhere to the bottom line thinking. Take back time, make up for losses, and capture and create opportunities from the crisis. Encouraged by the spirit of the circular, the grassroots cadres and masses in party member actively exerted the initiative and creativity of entrepreneurs and worked hard to achieve the goals and tasks of economic and social development.
Towards our well-off life
The Chinese Dream is a dream shared by nearly 654.38+04 billion people in China. Stepping into a well-off society is the goal and task to be completed in 2020. In the depths of the mountains, there are people struggling with food and clothing, and on the streets of cities, there are people waiting for government relief. This dream is missing a hole, and this task is not completed. In the process of realizing great rejuvenation, party member cadres should join hands with poor households to lead them out of the predicament.
We have heartfelt sympathy for the poor people, and many grassroots cadres have also come out of poverty and are inextricably linked with the countryside, which further enhances our sense of mission and responsibility to help the poor, which is a necessary condition for helping the poor with heart. In the process of door-to-door visits, too many elderly people in hospital beds, too many terminally ill patients and too many villagers eager to get out of trouble have driven us to help them wholeheartedly.
Poverty alleviation has tasks and indicators for all villages, and the final year-end assessment should also be included. If you just regard poverty alleviation as a task, stay in the village for the sake of staying in the village and fill out the poverty alleviation manual in a perfunctory manner; Entering the house for the sake of entering the house means that I have been here, I have seen it, and then it is an armchair strategist. These passive poverty alleviation, passive work, no sense of responsibility, how to work hard? Party member cadres who fought in the front line, with heartfelt care for the vulnerable groups and sympathy for the people in difficulty, adhered to the belief of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, turned tasks into responsibilities, turned pressure into motivation, and actively devoted themselves to the tough battle against poverty with passion and love.
In the process of helping the poor, treat the poor people as relatives and friends, listen to their demands and ideas, put themselves in their shoes and plan realistically, safeguard their personal dignity, and protect their desire to get rid of poverty and their enthusiasm for developing production. It is not an empty talk or an unattainable wish to make poor households full of hope and positive energy to face the current problems, increase the assistance of wisdom and ambition, and get rid of poverty permanently and go straight to a well-off society.
Only with sincere efforts and sincere help can the poverty alleviation work achieve practical results, rather than simple digital games, the achievements of mass line education will be more consolidated, absolute victory will be achieved in the tough battle, and the self-worth of grassroots cadres will be reflected.
Towards our well-off life
Getting rid of poverty is the task and glorious mission entrusted to every poverty alleviation worker by the times. * * * As a pioneer, party member should keep up with the situation, live up to its mission, be brave enough to take responsibility, and speed up the process of poverty alleviation.
Party member cadres should strive to be the "leaders" on the road to poverty alleviation, fully understand the current task of tackling poverty and learn from the examples on the road to poverty alleviation; We should carry forward the vanguard and exemplary role, take the lead in doing our job well, do a good job in tackling poverty, and make "no mistakes with both hands" to make suggestions and sweat for tackling poverty.
Party member cadres should grasp the "four consciousnesses" and take tackling poverty as the biggest political test. Poverty alleviation is the biggest political task, development task and people's livelihood task at present and in the future, and it is also a major development opportunity. In charge of the overall situation of economic and social development. We should conscientiously implement the spirit of the General Secretary's series of important speeches, arm our minds with theory and improve our political stance. We must firmly establish political consciousness, overall situation consciousness, core consciousness and integration consciousness. Adhere to "three strictness and three realities" as a style, a spirit, a standard and a realm. Always put the interests of the Party, the country and the people first, be brave in taking responsibility, face up to difficulties, be fearless of risks, regardless of grievances, demonstrate party spirit in the tough battle against poverty, and be a qualified party member.
Getting rid of poverty is conducive to realizing rural revitalization and leading the masses to become rich and run towards a well-off society.
Improve village-level infrastructure. The first is to improve village-level infrastructure. As the old saying goes, to get rich, build roads first. Only by improving the infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads and communications can we lay a good foundation for the next work. Create powerful village committees. The key to getting rid of poverty still depends on the stable and powerful team in the village. Only by bringing party member people who are "open-minded, with many ideas, principled, responsible and rich" into the leading bodies of the two committees and enhancing the fighting capacity, influence and appeal of the leading bodies can we provide the most direct help for tackling poverty. Effectively change the work style. Township cadres must go to the countryside to stay in the village, instead of taking a cursory look at the scenery, they should "settle down" and actually carry out poverty alleviation work in the village. Constantly strengthen the education and training of poverty alleviation workers. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the training of poverty alleviation workers and village committees, improve their ability to get rid of poverty, study and explore feasible ways to get rid of poverty in line with local conditions, and strive to help poor households find the right way to get rich; On the other hand, it is necessary to give ideological guidance to poor households, publicize policies and regulations in combination with centralized study and individual discussion, guide poor households to change their concepts, stimulate subjective initiative, eliminate the concept of dependence, and guide the masses to develop actively.
Our staff should be grounded, shout less slogans and do more practical things, so as to create a good image, win the trust of the people, strengthen the confidence of the people in poverty alleviation and enhance the help of poverty alleviation.
Towards our well-off life
On June 23rd, 2020, 65438+ China Lunar New Year came quietly, but it was followed by the COVID-19 epidemic! Wuhan is anxious! Hubei is in a hurry! China is in a state of emergency-there is a serious shortage of beds and the ability of treatment is extremely lacking! China municipal government made a decisive decision and ordered the construction of Raytheon Mountain and Vulcan Mountain Hospital. More than 7,500 engineers and migrant workers gathered in Wuhan to fight against heaven, earth and death-this is a contest between speed and truth! 13 days, Raytheon Mountain stands tall; 10 days, Vulcan Mountain holds its head high!
Two mountains rise from the ground-this is the speed of China.
As the youngest nurse in the department, when the epidemic came, you resolutely chose to help the front line regardless of the opposition of your family. At four o'clock in the morning, the genius breaks dawn, and there are still more than three hours before departure, but you get up early and plan to have a silent confession with your daughter. You crept into your daughter's room, sat by the bed, tucked her in gently, and gently brushed aside the broken hair on her forehead. Your eyes are full of tenderness, and your heart is full of sadness: Dear baby, when I am not at home, you must learn to eat by yourself and listen to your grandparents. If I come back and find that you are not fat, I will be angry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby, mom ... mom doesn't know when she will come back, and she doesn't know if she can come back! It's mom's fault. After mom left, I can't bring you your favorite egg custard, nor can I help the baby mash strawberries into your mouth. Later ... later ... you really can't think of it, so you turned and left the room.
Pushing open the door, I saw my mother standing in front of you, holding your favorite leek stuffing jiaozi. "Get on and off, jiaozi, come and eat while it's hot!" ! Leek, it's been a long time I believe you will persist for a long time! "A mother with no culture can only hope for superstition now. When she said this, she grinned, but you can clearly see that silent tears fell from the corner of her eye.
Countless of you, in this way, in order to protect everyone, gave up your family, gathered into the power of China, condensed into the spirit of China.

The filial children didn't want to disappoint him, so they prepared birthday cakes and various ingredients on this day to celebrate his birthday. However, Uncle Zhang, who lives alone, didn't even open the door for them. He talked to the child through a door: "Go quickly, today happens to be my birthday. Now people all over the country stay at home and make contributions to the country. We can't fall behind! Just leave your things at the door, so hurry home! " Seeing Uncle Zhang's decision, the children can only silently bless Uncle Zhang through the door.
In the face of the epidemic, the old man gave up his satisfaction; In the face of the epidemic, countless China people gave up their pursuit, stayed at home, motionless, and just wanted to contribute to the country! This is China's feelings.

A lunch box bent with laughter
What is this? Is it a bike? The dark body, the bare faucet, and the wheels are gently covered by two thin and narrow iron sheets, making them creak, as if to say, "Don't protect me, don't protect me, I want to rush out, I want to be free!" This is my grandmother's bicycle!
It's my grandmother sitting in the car. My grandmother/Kloc-0 graduated from college in 1978, and my family tried their best to help her buy a permanent bike. I really envy others! Grandma became the star of the town.
Sitting in the car seat is my father. At that time, my father had just turned 26 months and was about to be sent to a kindergarten in directly under the authority, where my grandmother worked. That was not the case. In the morning, grandma hung the lunch box on the bicycle faucet in front, carrying her father behind her, and she sat on the car seat. She is running to the kindergarten at lightning speed, probably because she rode too fast and one of them fell down. My father in the back seat screamed at once, and my grandmother ignored the pain and the dust on her body. At this time, grandma suddenly saw the lunch box crushed by the car faucet, and then pointed it out to her father: Look, son, the lunch box is laughing at you, and it's bent! Dad looked at the lunch box with tears in his eyes, and it was his turn to laugh. Grandma took this moment to hold the car, quickly took her father to the back seat and began to "fly" like lightning! But this time, she rode very carefully.
A speeding car
Oh, I'm late! I grabbed a loaf of bread, carried a bottle of milk, pulled up my shoes and got into the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened, I got into my father's car: Hurry up, we'll be late! Dad, start the car. Let's go! Accompanied by the dynamic rock music in my dad's car, I began to enjoy my delicious breakfast leisurely: the bread is sweet but not firewood, it melts in the mouth, and the milk is fragrant but not greasy, like a clear spring sliding down my throat. While food soothes my stomach and music washes my soul, at this moment, the lingering light rain outside the window fills my eyes: raindrops dance lightly on the window, then meander up and throw them; Tap dance for a while and jump up; Turn around after the ballet. I feel that this late morning, which should have been anxious, actually gave me the pleasure of watching movies and eating delicious food in the cinema! However, I have to thank this car for sheltering me from the wind and rain!
Sitting on the ground and walking 80 thousand miles a day
My father-in-law will celebrate his 60th birthday this Saturday. The ancients said: Sixty flowers really need a good season. However, we are in Jiangsu and my father-in-law is in Jilin. How can we go back? I can't reach it!
Seeing that my mother was in a hurry, my father secretly booked a plane ticket for us, and we arrived in Jilin under the escort of blue sky and white clouds for more than two hours. In the evening, the family sat together and happily celebrated their father-in-law's birthday: Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you! Beautiful songs, like a clear spring, flow from the mouths of children and grandchildren until they are sweet to grandpa's heart.
Candlelight reflects grandpa's flowery smile, and my heart is full of flowers: our life is really beautiful!
Our great motherland, like a huge engine full of power, is taking the people of the whole country to a distant place. Look, a well-off society is waving to us!
Towards our well-off life
"Well-off is not well-off, the key is to look at fellow villagers", which is a sentence often heard after rural reform and development! In the past ten years, due to the support and development of the country, some "long-standing" problems in rural areas have also been solved. For example; It is difficult to study, see a doctor, make money and so on. These problems have obviously improved compared with the past.
In the past, the countryside was synonymous with "poverty and backwardness", and the living standards of villagers were generally not high. The per capita income of villagers is also very low, and many families live below the poverty line, making life very difficult.
Nowadays, with the development of society and the prosperity of the country, the people's quality of life has been greatly improved, and the villagers no longer worry about food and clothing. Now many people are working hard in the direction of "well-off".
In addition to the improvement of living standards and public services, with the country's increasing efforts in rural construction, many villages have now realized the "three links and one change", the village appearance is brand-new and the living environment is becoming more and more comfortable. Many villages have now bid farewell to the "dirty mess".
Farmers' friends: 2020 is the year to realize the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. There are many hard tasks to be accomplished in agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year. In the coming year, the state will take a number of measures to solve some problems in rural areas, including "winning the battle against poverty, improving the living environment in rural areas, promoting the construction of safe villages and starting the toilet revolution".
However, just after the rural areas entered the goal of winning the overall well-off, three good news will follow. This information covers many aspects of the countryside, please accept them. Details are as follows;
Whether it is construction or development, funds are particularly important. To do a good job in this year's "three rural" work, funds must be given priority to rural areas, so that funds can make up for the shortcomings of rural infrastructure and public facilities.
This year is a year to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. China will also increase capital investment, and the capital budget will continue to tilt towards the fields of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, so as to ensure that local financial funds can make up for the shortcomings in the fields of agriculture, rural areas and farmers and solve the current livelihood problems in rural areas.
In rural areas, rural construction and governance are also in full swing. In recent years, China has introduced many measures to rectify all kinds of illegal behaviors in rural areas. Now it has reached a critical stage of rural development, and the ranks of rural grassroots cadres are also crucial. If they are idle and unruly leaders, the funds will be occupied after investment.
However, this year is the most crucial year to win the battle against poverty. While carrying out various tasks, China will further promote the construction of safe rural areas, intensify efforts to control rural "flies and village tyrants" and carry out anti-corruption and evil elimination.
Although there are great changes in rural areas compared with the past, there is still a gap compared with cities, especially in education and medical care. Many villagers will leave the countryside to live in cities, mostly because of these two points.
However, just after the rural areas entered a well-off society in an all-round way, China will also launch a new round of development work in various regions. This year, we should not only improve the quality of teaching in rural areas, but also strengthen the construction of rural medical service system, eliminate the gap in rural medical services, and let villagers no longer worry about education and medical care.
