From July 18 to 20, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Guyuan, Yinchuan and other places in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, going deep into rural areas, enterprises and revolutionary traditional education bases to conduct research and inspection on the implementation of the "13th Five-Year Plan", promoting economic and social development, and promoting poverty reduction. Along the footsteps of the General Secretary’s inspection, Xinhua News Agency reporters made a return visit.
"Xihaigu’s confidence in poverty reduction is growing"
On the 18th, the arid Guyuan City ushered in a long-awaited rain. Yangling Village, Dawan Township, Jingyuan County, backed by mountains, was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the house trees were hidden, like an ink painting. Mark Jun, an elderly Hui who had not yet calmed down, pulled the reporter and said excitedly: "The general secretary is sitting in the middle of my kang Yan’er and calculating poverty reduction accounts with everyone."

Yangling Village is located in the Xihaigu area, which used to be "the best in the world". Liupan Mountain is concentrated in the hinterland of the extremely poor areas. Factors such as deep mountains and ditches and lagging industries restrict the pace of poverty reduction for the local people.
Since the implementation of targeted poverty alleviation, the general secretary of the supreme leader has been worried about whether the policies and measures can be implemented in place. Mark Jun recalled: "The general secretary asked me how many cattle I raised, how to feed them, and how many acres of land I planted. The brand-new cowshed and new breed of cattle attracted the attention of the general secretary."
Dawan Township Industrial Union Party Branch Secretary Mark Ming said that this year they established an industrial union party branch in five villages, one docking farmers, one docking enterprises, farmers raising high-end cattle do not worry about selling. Combined with government loans and subsidies, poor households only need to pay 3,000 yuan to breed an Angus cow worth 16,000 yuan. At present, the party branch has absorbed and driven 170 poor households to set up files.

"We are the only old couple in the family, and we are not very good at raising new breeds of cattle. With the industrial union party branch providing technical and epidemic prevention services, our hearts are in our stomachs, and we will have poverty reduction at the end of last year," Mark Jun said.
Mark Jun is the first secretary of the village, Lan Zhulin, who accurately identified the poor households. Lan Zhulin said that now it is because of the households and people, and the 87 households that have registered cards in the village, which account for a quarter of the village, will pass measures such as cattle raising, education, labor services, and bottom-line poverty reduction. Lan Zhulin Zhengzhong assured the general secretary that "let the poverty villages take off their hats as soon as possible, and lead everyone to become rich and well-off".

Ma Quanlong, who has raised 11 cows since the beginning, has become a leader in getting rich among the villagers. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader asked with interest: "As a leader in getting rich, how do you lead Murakami to get rich?" Ma Quanlong replied: "I want to expand the scale to 20 cows first, and then bring my relatives and friends, as well as more poor households, together to get rich."
Ji Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region and Secretary of the Gu*******nicipal Party Committee, said that Guyuan has made up for the shortcomings of transportation and ecology, and has targeted a series of measures for poverty alleviation to 435 poverty-stricken villages and each household of the 267,000 poverty-stricken population. Find a good direction for industrial development, introduce leading enterprises, create economies of scale, and let the poor people have more and more confidence in poverty reduction and wealth.
"Minning collaboration has explored a prosperous road"
After 20 years, the local cadres and masses still clearly remember that in 1996, the party committees and governments of Fujian and Ningxia provinces and regions decided to fully carry out Minning counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation in accordance with the strategic thinking of the central government’s "two overall situations" and the decision-making and deployment of the East-West poverty alleviation cooperation. The top leader, who was then the deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, served as the leader of the leading group of counterpart assistance to Ningxia and organized the implementation of Minning counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation.

"He asked me very kindly, ‘How is your health, old man, and you need to protect your health’. I was particularly excited and responded repeatedly: The Communist Party’s policy is good, let me move here from Xiji County, and walk 300 meters to see a doctor, unlike before. You have to walk 5 kilometers to see a doctor."

He told reporters that the general secretary at that time leaned over to look at his leg injury and carefully asked if he could be reimbursed? How much to report?

Xie Xingchang, 62, is a witness to 20 years of change in Minning town. Since they moved here from their hometown in Xihaigu 20 years ago, Xie Xingchang’s family has changed houses four times: from underground manholes to adobe houses to brick houses to concrete bungalows with small courtyards.
"At that time, no one was willing to come." Xie Xingchang said that in order to motivate the villagers to relocate, he went to Yuquanying Farm near Minning Village to break four corn cobs and four sorghum ears, and returned to his hometown to tell the people that 3 kilometers away from Minning Village is a grain farm, and Minning Village will definitely be a good place in the future.
Xie Xingchang said that the general secretary praised him for "this method is good, it can attract ordinary people, and it is also instructive." Xie Xingchang told reporters that now, if you want to relocate to Minning Town, there is no extra homestead.
In Yuanlong Village, a modern vegetable greenhouse where mushrooms and peppers are grown, He Lixia, a villager who is engaged in pepper cultivation, is a migrant worker who has benefited from the industrial poverty alleviation model in Minning Town. When she saw the general secretary, she was very excited. The general secretary also cared about whether she was tired or not, and the income of working part-time. When she heard that her monthly migrant income was 2,100 yuan, the land transfer fee was 1,800 yuan, and the dividend was 10,000 yuan at the end of the year, it was clear that the general secretary was also very happy.

Qingdao Changsheng Ridian Solar Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the enterprises that supports local industrial poverty alleviation. The person in charge, Wang Quan, believes that industrial poverty alleviation in Minning Town should further provide technical support for local farmers and open up market sales.
"General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said that Minning Town has explored a prosperous road, and I wish Ningxia’s goal of poverty reduction to a well-off society will be realized as soon as possible." In this regard, Qian Kexiao, secretary of the Yongning County Party Committee, said that the general secretary’s words inspired us to do a good job in Minning Town from a new starting point, and our efforts should be truly reflected in the sense of gain of the common people.
"Realize the Great Chinese Dream in Your Position"
"When the Supreme Leader General Secretary came, he stopped for a long time in front of a row of products such as paraffin wax and diesel component oil, and on both sides were the largest single-set plant project in the world – Shenhua Ningcoal Group’s 4 million-ton coal-to-liquids project." Zhang Qian, deputy director of the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base Management Committee of the autonomous region, said proudly that when the Supreme Leader came to inspect eight years ago, the chemical products of Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base were only 250,000 tons, and now the product scale has reached 15.15 million tons.

This change stems from the company’s unremitting pursuit of technological innovation, transformation and upgrading. Eight years later, the general secretary came to Ningdong Base again. In addition to the change in scale, the proportion of coal chemical industry in the coal electrification industry has risen to 43.5%.
Zhang said that the Supreme Leader General Secretary is very concerned about whether the development of enterprises affects the surrounding environment. Professional and technical personnel report to the General Secretary through some technical indicators. At present, the single set of coal consumption and water consumption of 4 million tons of coal-to-oil projects are better than those of foreign countries.
During the inspection, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward requirements for the employees of Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base. He said that Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base should be built into a first-class enterprise, so as to realize a longer industrial chain and higher added value of the enterprise, and drive the whole region and the whole country to move towards a well-off society. The energy accumulated by the Chinese nation has been accumulated for too long, and it is necessary to burst out to realize the great Chinese dream.
"The general secretary’s visit to us is the greatest encouragement to us." Tan Bin, a doctor who studied chemistry at Tsinghua University, took root in the northwest after graduation and was mainly responsible for the technical research of the coal-to-liquids project.
When it comes to the Chinese Dream, Tan Bin thought about it and said that China is a country rich in coal, poor in oil, and low in gas. It is necessary to use technological innovation to organically combine coal chemical industry and petrochemical industry to make the national energy strategy system more scientific.
Respondents lamented to reporters that time was passing too fast. When the general secretary left, they lined up next to the 68-meter-high coal-to-liquids installation frame on both sides, reluctantly cheering and applauding.
