[China’s wisdom of getting rid of poverty] ＂Rereading, reinterpreting and reusing＂ The spirit of Xichou is tangible and tangible.
In the early morning, 4,400 students from six grades in No.1 Middle School in Xichou County held a flag-raising ceremony on a brand-new plastic football field surrounded by neat school buildings. Jie Zheng, the principal, told the reporter that in the previous No.1 Middle School, the campus was narrow, and more than 4,000 students could only squeeze into a 42-acre campus, only to find no land for their heads. Due to the poor conditions for running a school, 70% of the good students went to State No.1 Middle School and City No.1 Middle School. "On the contrary, 70% of good students can stay."
From 2014, there were 350 dropouts in the county, and by 2020, the dropouts from poor families in the county have been dynamically cleared;
From 2017, the poverty rate of poverty-stricken households in the county was 32.83% due to illness, and it decreased by 14 percentage points by 2020;
From 2014, there are still 86,000 people living in dangerous houses in the county, and by 2020, no farmer will live in dangerous houses, and no farmer will have no housing … …
Behind the data is Xichou County’s efforts to do everything possible to solve the people’s most urgent livelihood problems, focus on the "three guarantees" of poverty-stricken people’s education, poverty alleviation, basic medical care and housing security, and let the people get tangible people’s livelihood well-being.
Education is guaranteed, and it is no longer difficult to enter school.
Education is the root of cutting off poverty, but in the past, the burden of education was a mountain that weighed on the poor people in the western region. It is difficult and expensive to go to school, and they can’t learn knowledge at school, which has caused many families to abandon teaching. Until 2014, there were 350 dropouts in Xichou County. "Students with good grades in the county basically seek to go out to school."
According to the idea of "poverty alleviation education first", Xichou County carries forward the spirit of "waiting is not the way, doing is the hope", and pays attention to "supporting wisdom" and "supporting ambition".

In order to make up for the shortcomings of educational infrastructure from the roots, Xichou County, which is in financial difficulties, has made great efforts. The first is to build a campus. Jiang Jun, secretary of the Xichou County Party Committee, said, "We are determined to insist on using the best resources to run education and uproot the" poor roots "with all our efforts. Since 2014, Xichou has used the best 840 mu of land in the county to build schools, and tried every means to raise funds, investing 1.344 billion yuan to build and rebuild 150,000 square meters of school buildings. The average construction area per student increased from 9.85 square meters to 14.85 square meters, and the newly added green area was 32,000 square meters. At present, the best house in every village in the county is the school, and the best conditions are used to run the school.
In 2017 alone, 618 million yuan will be invested to realize the overall relocation of the first middle school, the second middle school and the vocational high school in the county, to build the new Chengguan Middle School and Siyuan Experimental Primary School in the county, to transfer the Xingjie Middle School to the second middle school in the county, to rebuild the third primary school in the county with the original school building of the vocational high school in the county, and to rebuild the second primary school in Xingjie Town with the original school building of Xingjie Middle School, with more than 9,300 new degrees (including more than 7,300 in compulsory education).

In the past five years, Xichou County still lags behind in county construction, but the total investment in poverty alleviation through education is 6.735 billion yuan.

In order to let the children who have dropped out of school return to school, in June, 2020, Xichou County No.3 Middle School (hereinafter referred to as "No.3 Middle School") was established in the county to undertake the "bottom-up" work of the county’s education, bringing together the students who have dropped out of school, dropped out of school, are tired of learning and dropped out of school, and implementing closed and militarized teaching and management.
Teachers wear camouflage clothes at school. Military training, running, reciting Disciples’ Rules and Augmenting Scholar’s Works, and learning the spirit of the Western Region are the "alternative" teaching that the reporter saw in No.3 Middle School.
The 15-year-old soldier and the 16-year-old Xiao Jue dropped out of the middle school in the countryside for a period of time and went to the third middle school for study. The teacher’s company made them feel the warmth of family; The courses and lectures held by the school also enabled them to acquire more knowledge. Today, their bodies and wills are stronger than before, and their goals in life have become clear. "The older generation is working so hard, why can’t we work hard?" Xiaobing firmly told reporters that there were tears in his eyes.
At present, the students who dropped out of poor families in Xichou County have been dynamically cleared.
At the same time of "supporting wisdom", Xichou County strengthened "supporting ambition". Let the quality of poor households get rid of poverty first, and change the idea of "waiting to rely on it" for the poor.

Comprehensive training will be provided to the rural party member, village (group) cadres, leaders who become rich, file-setting households and non-file-setting households in the county, so that farmers can continuously improve their comprehensive quality in the process of receiving scientific theory dissemination and learning. Since 2019, "Farmer Whampoa Military Academy" and institutes (stations and points) at all levels have carried out 161 training sessions for 25,713 farmers, among which "Farmer Whampoa Military Academy" has carried out 22 training sessions for more than 2,200 people in various civilized practices.
At present, the county and Wenshan Finance and Trade School have initially reached a joint intention to run a school. By organizing training for upgrading the academic qualifications of middle-aged and young farmers, it will take three years to help needy farmers aged 18 to 40 to complete their secondary school education.
Health is guaranteed, and it is no longer difficult to see a doctor.
Poverty caused by illness and returning to poverty due to illness is a difficult point in poverty-stricken areas. In 2017, the poverty rate of poverty-stricken households in Xichou County due to illness reached 32.83%, and many families dared not get sick and could not afford to get sick.
In 2020, the poverty rate due to illness in the county decreased by 14 percentage points.
Xichou County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is clean and tidy, with 11 clinical medical departments and 88 kinds of equipment such as CT, DR and automatic blood cell counter. Traditional Chinese medicine, scraping, massage, acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine treatments are also carried out here.
Wen Shiyun, who lives in Shangmaduo Village, Jiangliu Village Committee, has been sick for 20 years. In recent years, she has actually enjoyed the benefits of paying for medical treatment first and then "one-stop" service. The proportion of medical insurance reimbursement to poor households is 95%, so that she only needs to pay tens of yuan to 100 yuan every time after seeing a doctor in the county Chinese medicine hospital.
For poor households who are seriously ill, Xichou County has designated the First People’s Hospital and the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as designated treatment hospitals, and helped to contact provincial and state experts to determine the diagnosis and treatment plan for patients and implement special treatment.

For patients with chronic diseases, contract service management will be implemented, and all households who have set up files will be included in the contract service scope of family doctors, so that each person will build a dynamically managed electronic health record, and each family will have a contracted family doctor to provide one-on-one home service.
Carrying a medicine box and riding a motorcycle is a daily routine for family doctor Yan Huang to fly into the village for follow-up. There are 5 people in Dongsheng Clinic of Xingjie Town, which has jurisdiction over 23 villages, and Huang Yanfei "manages" 6 villages. The village’s chronic diseases, maternal management, children’s vaccination, hypertension and diabetes check-ups are all under her "management".
At present, every village in Xichou County has a clinic, and each village clinic is equipped with a qualified village doctor, so some minor diseases and acute diseases can be well treated in the village. The county has set up 197 family doctor contract service teams, with a total of 48,276 poor households who have set up a card for contract service. In fact, they should sign all the cards and take all the clothes.
For serious illness, the implementation of the bottom protection. Provide services such as paying for medical treatment first and "one-stop". Since the end of 2017, all 13 medical institutions in Xichou County have implemented the establishment of a file card. Poor households who are hospitalized in the county do not need to pay the hospitalization deposit, and they only need to pay part of their own expenses when they leave the hospital. County-level hospitals set up a "one-stop" comprehensive service window. Poor patients no longer have to pay the deposit and reimbursement for hospitalization.
From 2017 to October 2020, Xichou County People’s Hospital treated a total of 34,000 card holders, with a total hospitalization amount of 16.42 million yuan, of which 15.65 million yuan was reimbursed for medical insurance, accounting for 95%.
Housing is guaranteed, and it is no longer difficult to settle down.
Lu Shunmei lives in Tanggu cun, Xisa Town. The village still preserves the Zhuang residential buildings. According to the unified planning of the county, the once dilapidated houses have been upgraded to keep their original appearance. During the Women’s Sun Festival in 2018, a group of famous writers and painters stayed in her home for half a month.
In 2014, there were still 86,000 people living in dangerous houses in Xichou County, including 1,849 C-class dangerous houses and 19,940 D-class dangerous houses. To this end, Xichou county regards improving the housing conditions of rural people as the main task of getting rid of poverty.

The county invested 779 million yuan to carry out safety appraisal on 27,000 households’ houses, and carried out renovation of 21,789 dangerous houses. At present, there is no farmer in the county who lives in a dangerous house, and no farmer has no housing. Most people live in Xiaoyanglou and small buildings.
With the help of Xichou County Government, Tang gu cun adopted the unique traditional adobe building structure of "Er Di Shui" and the "pole-column" architectural style to rebuild the house, and built roads, parking lots, riverside trails, tourist toilets, etc., which made the village look brand-new.
Adobe houses leak rain everywhere, clothes at home are often moldy, and landslides also threaten life safety. It is very difficult for children to go to school and the elderly to see a doctor. Yu Xuexian "doesn’t want to live in the house on the mountain". Two years ago, just after the new house in the emerging community of Xingjie Town was capped, the family couldn’t wait to move down the mountain. Through the government’s definition, when you come to an emerging community, you will have a house with property rights for 1800 yuan per capita, and you will not charge property fees.
The life of new residents in emerging communities has changed for the better. "I work in the poverty alleviation workshop in the community, and my husband is engaged in handling work in the town, and his income is much stronger; It is convenient for the mother-in-law to see a doctor, and the children are close to reading, and all ages can take care of them. " Life has changed, and life has a head start.
In Lahai Village, Xingjie Town, clean and tidy roads lead from village to household, and every household has built several elegant buildings, and the spacious yard is full of flowers. A quiet and peaceful scene of beautiful countryside.
With the guarantee of housing, it is no longer difficult to settle down. Nowadays, Xichou has realized the transformation from "worrying about living" to "living in peace" and "living well".
