There is a Wazigou Village in Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province. The village lives up to its name: surrounded by mountains and filled with ravines, the villagers’ lives have always been tight. Three years ago, poverty alleviation cadres came to the village to help the poor with both ambition and wisdom. 23 poor households plucked up the courage to borrow 115,000 yuan in poverty alleviation mutual aid funds and established a cooperative, which led the poor households to raise ducks. Soon something happened in the village Changes, this year it is expected that each poor household will be able to earn about 2,000 yuan in net income from raising ducks.

Poverty alleviation must first support aspirations. In the past three years, Liaoning has dispatched 1,791 village work teams and 5,375 village cadres across the province, committed to changing the mentality of "waiting and relying" among poor households, and selected a group of poverty alleviation leaders to lead everyone out of poverty and become rich.

Eliminating poverty and becoming rich is a complex systematic project. It requires not only confidence and ambition, but also understanding of methods and finding the right path. To this end, Liaoning proposes to "help the poor and support the will as well as the intelligence". This year, it launched the "One Understanding Person" training program for poor families, and selected technical cadres with special skills to "send intelligence to the countryside". They will bring science and technology books and skills to help the poor and cure stupidity. , Teach them how to fish, teach them step by step, one household at a time.

“Liaoning’s poverty alleviation does not involve a digital Great Leap Forward, but it must make up for spiritual shortcomings, increase endogenous motivation, and allow poor people to have the ambition and intelligence to change their destiny.” said the main responsible comrade of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee.

Fingering his bulging money bag, 79-year-old Hu Mingdong from Niumaowu Village, Kuandian County chatted about e-commerce. "Thanks to the help of the working team in the village, my honey can be sold at a good price." With the help of the village-based poverty alleviation team of Liaoning Geological Engineering Vocational College, Niumaowu Village, located deep in the mountains, built an e-commerce platform for selling local products. A group of old, weak and poor people like Hu Mingdong in the village Households "enlightened" and embarked on the road to get out of poverty.

Chaoyang City is the poorest area in Liaoning. The five counties under its jurisdiction are all poor counties, with a poor population of 171,600, accounting for 1/4 of the province. Chaoyang City focuses on providing vocational education to poor farmers to increase their skills. In the past year, Chaoyang conducted interviews and reports on 22 village-based units that were ineffective in poverty alleviation, and recalled 9 village-based work teams for accountability. From January to July this year, another 26,700 poor people in the city were lifted out of poverty, and the poverty incidence rate dropped from 7% to 4.5%.

It supports aspirations and provides wisdom, and the pace of poverty alleviation is fast. In the first half of this year, 1,824 poverty alleviation projects in Liaoning Province have been launched, and 130,000 registered poor people have reached the poverty alleviation standard.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, like it.
