丨 Learn every day 丨“The toilet problem is not a trivial matter.” When working locally, Xi Jinping paid close attention to this matter of livelihoods.

In the 1980s, when Xi Jinping first came to Hebei, he focused on reforming the “Lianmao Circle” for a period of time. He once recalled: Back then, Zhengding was relatively poor and backward. For example, there are a large number of rural “Lianmao circles”.

A document titled “The CPC Zhengding County Committee’s Work Scheme in 1984” showed Zhengding’s determination at that time: “Actively transform the Lianmao Circle and strive to make the old city look like new.”

“A pit with two bricks and a three-foot earthen wall surrounds all sides.” One side of the toilet is connected to the sty, which is the “Lian Maopen”, which is very unsanitary and can easily lead to infectious diseases. But the villagers have long been used to that way of life. When they learned that the “Lian Mao Circle” that had taken most of their lives was going to be transformed, many people laughed and felt unnecessary.

Faced with the various misunderstandings of the masses, some people advocate “one size fits all”, cutting the mess with a quick knife and going straight to the villagers’ houses to forcefully transform them. Wang Yuting, then head of organization of the Zhengding County Party Committee, said in an interview: “But Jinping did not do this … (He thinks) if this matter should be handled well, first of all, let everyone accept it. in terms of ideology. Therefore, we must first carry out two pilot projects, so that everyone can see good results, and then fully promote them. “

Zhengding County started pilot projects in Wuxing and Tayuanzhuang villages.

Wuxing Village organized a production team to uniformly change toilets, record work points, and not overload farmers; To eliminate the concerns of the masses, each production team arranged special staff to clean the manure and fertilize the crops after the concentrated fermentation.

Separate the mao and the circle, use a brick manure tank with a lid … The “Lian Mao circle” has become a relatively “hygienic” dry toilet.

“After Zhengding, we followed the approach suggested by Jinping and made steady progress through pilot projects. Later, the villages in the county’s ‘Lianmaoquan’ changed very well and the replication was very little.” Wang Yuting recalled: “Those” one size fits all “transformations In the counties, there were great reactions afterwards, and the opinions of the people were also good.”

The method that Xi Jinping used when Zhengding focused on the transformation of the “Lianmaoquan” also greatly benefited the later practice of rural bath reform.

In July 2013, Xi Jinping returned to Tayuanzhuang Village to visit cadres and the masses and mentioned the transformation of the “Lianmao Circle” that he had captured at the time. Yin Jiping, Party Branch Secretary of Tayuanzhuang Village, said: “In 2000, sanitary toilets were rebuilt here. Now, in Tayuanzhuang Village, all the families have moved into buildings and used flush toilets. “.

On January 24, 2017, Quan Decheng, a villager from Guangdong Village, Yanbian, Jilin Province, used a washing machine in his bathroom.

In the eyes of Xi Jinping, restroom reform is an important task to improve rural sanitation conditions and improve people’s quality of life. He has always been very worried. After assuming the post of Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he went to farmers’ homes and asked them about their livelihoods during local inspections. He often asked the villagers if they used flush toilets or dry toilets. By inspecting the appearance of the village, he also learned more about the toilet reform.

“The problem of the bathroom is not a trivial matter. It is an important aspect of the construction of urban and rural civilization.” Xi Jinping requested that not only scenic spots and cities, but also rural areas, be addressed as a specific task of the rural revitalization strategy.

If a well-off is not well-off, the toilet is considered a pile. The construction of a new beautiful and livable countryside lies not only in the greenery of the entrance, but also in the fresh, clean and orderly environment of the bathroom.
