  CCTV news(News broadcast): The project of “Demonstrating Thousand Villages and Renovating Ten Thousand Villages” is a major decision that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned, deployed, and promoted during his work in Zhejiang. Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has made great achievements for a long time, and has persistently promoted the implementation of the “Ten Thousand Project”. Today, the “Ten Thousand Project” has not only profoundly changed the appearance of Zhejiang’s rural areas, but also explored a scientific path to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and build a beautiful China.

The land of Zhijiang in midsummer, Jiangbishan green, picturesque. The Zhejiang villages scattered in the beautiful scenery are becoming “poetry and distance” for urbanites.

In Meilin Village, Hangzhou, the smart health service station at the entrance of the village guards the health of the whole village 24 hours a day.

  Miao Wenxiao, a villager in Meilin Village, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province:I can operate it myself, which is very convenient.

In Daxiantan Village of Deqing, the increasingly rich leisure scene in the valley has attracted many tourists.

In Zhutiantou Village, Shaoxing, children from remote villages are experiencing curling lessons in a newly built farmhouse.

However, if the timeline is pulled back to 20 years ago, Zhejiang’s economic aggregate ranked first in the country at that time, but the gap between urban and rural areas gradually widened, and problems with the living environment in rural areas emerged. In 2002, Comrade Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, traveled to 11 cities and 25 counties in 118 days, and investigated each village. After fully grasping the provincial conditions and agricultural conditions, in June 2003, Comrade Xi Jinping made a strategic decision to implement the “ten million project”, and proposed to select regarding 10,000 administrative villages from the nearly 40,000 villages in the province for comprehensive renovation. Among them, regarding 1,000 central villages have been built into comprehensive well-off demonstration villages, and they have personally formulated the target requirements, implementation principles, and investment methods of the “Ten Thousand Project”, and innovatively established and took the lead in promoting the “Four Ones” working mechanism.

This kicked off the “Thousands of Projects” that changed the appearance of thousands of villages and benefited thousands of farmers in Zhejiang.

Zhejiang is densely covered with rivers and lakes, and the rivers and seas are well connected. How to build a beautiful countryside? Zhejiang takes the prevention and control of water pollution as a starting point.

Xiaoshendu Village, Changxing County, adjacent to South Taihu Lake, once produced a lot of waste water and garbage due to the development of the textile industry, which affected the water quality of Taihu Lake and polluted groundwater. Since the launch of the “Ten Million Project”, the fourth village and two committee teams of Xiaoshendu Village have carried out river and domestic sewage treatment in succession, insisting on connecting one pipe to the bottom, and incorporating the sewage pipe network into the comprehensive management of the urban pipe network. At present, the rural domestic sewage treatment rate in the village has reached 100%.

  Qin Minghui, a villager in Xiaoshendu Village, Changxing County, Zhejiang Province:Over the years, our river has become clearer to the naked eye, and the number of tourists visiting the village has also increased significantly.

After 20 years of unremitting efforts, Zhejiang is the first in the country to eliminate the fifth-class water, and the rural domestic waste has basically achieved “zero growth” and “zero landfill”. Rural sanitary toilets are fully covered, and the quality of rural living environment ranks among the top in the country.

  Gu Yikang, Chief Expert of Zhejiang Rural Revitalization Research Institute:We found that he (the general secretary) not only carried out systematic planning and planning for this project, but more importantly, I think he upholds an original mission, which is to regard the most beautiful ecological environment as the most inclusive well-being of the people’s livelihood, and the people’s love for a better life. Pursuit as our goal.

Over the past 20 years, under the guidance of the blueprint drawn by General Secretary Xi Jinping, the “Ten Million Project” has continued to work hard and progressed step by step: the scope of village renovation has expanded from the initial 10,000 administrative villages to all administrative villages in the province; From the beginning, the content focused on the comprehensive improvement of the village environment, expanded to focus on the construction of beautiful villages, and now entered the stage of “a thousand villages in the future and ten thousand villages sharing prosperity” with the main line of promoting the construction of future villages and harmonious villages.

In each important period of the “Ten Thousand Project” promotion, Zhejiang Province will issue an implementation opinion in response to the main contradictions and problems at that time. So far, nearly 20 implementation opinions have been issued.

  Wang Tonglin, director of the Agricultural Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:From the initial human settlement as a breakthrough, to the follow-up protection of historical and cultural villages, renovation of farm houses, comprehensive land improvement, etc., the implementation opinions are constantly iteratively upgraded and extended. In this process, we insist on drawing a blueprint to the end.

Bus No. 101 has been shuttling between Jiaxing’s cities and villages for 20 years. In late March 2004, Comrade Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, took the No. 101 urban-rural bus when he was in Jiaxing for a special survey on the overall urban-rural development work, and experienced the role of integrated infrastructure construction in bridging the gap between urban and rural areas.

Twenty years have passed, and there is almost no difference between the cities and villages connected by the No. 101 bus. Not only has the bus integration been realized, the education modernization has been basically realized in the whole region, and urban and rural residents have been included in the “20-minute medical and health circle”.

  Jin Yunhai, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Lianfeng Village, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province:Even if the young people in our village can’t afford a house, they have to rent it to live in the city. Now they have bought a house in the city, but they are also willing to return to our rural villages to live.

Today, Zhejiang’s urban and rural areas have a new landscape—urban and rural infrastructure has been speeded up to the same standard and network, the minimum living standard has been achieved in urban and rural areas, and the level of equalization of basic public services is leading the country. Up to now, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Zhejiang has ranked first in the country for 38 consecutive years, and the income gap between urban and rural residents has narrowed from 2.43 to 1.90 in the past 20 years, making it the province with the smallest gap in the country.

  Cao Li, deputy director of the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National School of Administration):At that time, the general secretary promoted the “ten million project” in Zhejiang. In fact, he did a lot of investigation and research, traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Zhejiang, and learned regarding the issues that the people are most concerned regarding. For 20 years, we have continued to promote the “ten million project”, and have worked for a long time, constantly deepening and constantly changing. It should be said that the “Ten Million Project” has brought great progress in rural construction. At the same time, it has explored new solutions for urban-rural integration, explored new paths to achieve common prosperity, and pointed out the direction for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.
