NPC deputy vows to push rural revitalization after poverty alleviation
By Zhao
Bing, Li Maoying and Wang Hailin from People’s Daily
China
has made remarkable achievements in its poverty alleviation. However, Luo
Aying, a deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC), is aiming farther and
making efforts to advance rural revitalization.
At
present, Luo is attending the ongoing second session of the 13th NPC in
Beijing.
She carries
a notebook wherever she goes. “I wrote the wishes of my fellow villagers in the
first half of my notebook and what I learnt from the meetings in the second
half,” she told People’s Daily, adding that she would bring the good news to
his fellow villagers after going back home.
Luo and
her fellow villagers are from the ethnic minority group Jino. They live in the forest-blanketed
mountains in Jinghong, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan
province.
Thanks
to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Jino people, most of who
lived in primitive mountain tribes entered socialist society.
It has
been 40 years since the Jino people were officially acknowledged in 1979 as the
56th independent ethnic group of China. The past 40 years, according to Luo,
witnessed the hard work and joint efforts of the Jino people.
As the
only NPC deputy from Jino ethnic minority group, Luo said she carries heavy responsibilities.
Luo, who
is the secretary of the Party committee of Luote village, Jino ethnic township,
knows everything about the history, population, cultural customs and industries
of the village. She often visits the impoverished households in her village
with her colleagues to help them get rid of poverty.
By
attracting investment and new projects, as well as the poverty alleviation
plans tailored for the impoverished households, the livelihood of the people in
Luote village has been gradually improved in recent years.
“Now
every village has hardened roads, which has made it more convenient for vendors
to come to buy our teas,” Luo said, adding that many households have bought
motorcycles, and even cars. Smart phones are also very common there, she told
People’s Daily.
Though
the village is prospering day by day, Luo can still feel the responsibilities
she carries. She said she must make the young labor force stay and achieve
better development of the village.
Therefore,
she raised a proposal at the NPC session this year to increase income of rural
doctors and grass-root cadres, hoping to guarantee the sustained development of
the rural areas.
“After
overcoming poverty, we must advance rural vitalization,” she said, adding that
they will always follow the steps of the Party, and roll up their sleeves to
build a better future.
