What are the hot spots in the interview of civil servants: poor households don't know the root of gratitude

Chen Xingjia, an outstanding county party secretary among network celebrities and secretary of Hubei Badong County Party Committee, said in a signed article a few days ago that in the process of poverty alleviation, some poor households do not know how to be grateful, but have an unreasonable mentality: "I am poor and I am afraid of whom" and "I am a common people and I am afraid of whom". In this regard, Chen Xingjia requested to strengthen self-improvement and gratitude education for the masses.

Exclusive analysis of interview hotspots

@ Nanjing Daily North: Although it has been said since ancient times that "rice fights against rice", as an excellent county party secretary, Chen Xingjia publicly alleged that "some poor households don't know how to be grateful", which is obviously inappropriate. On the one hand, the county party secretary represents himself and the government, which is emotionally unacceptable. Whether it is the county party secretary or the government, it is not to help the poor and make the poor households grateful. Taking gratitude education as the work content of poverty alleviation is a misunderstanding of precision poverty alleviation and the purpose of "serving the people".

Of course, poor households need to be grateful after receiving help. But this is not the thing that the county party secretary should worry about!

@ China Youth Daily Zhu Changjun: I believe Chen Xingjia's open letter "If you are in your throat, don't spit it out" is sincere. The mentality and poverty alleviation of some poor households revealed in the letter may indeed exist in the local area.

However, in modern political ideas, government poverty alleviation is an inevitable requirement based on basic public duties and public services. Poverty alleviation is not charity for poor households. It is also a civil right for poor households to get rid of poverty and enjoy basic living conditions. If poor households are required to be grateful for the government's poverty alleviation, does it mean that they are not worthy of poverty alleviation without gratitude? Obviously not. Besides, if cadres go to help the poor with gratitude, it is not only the inversion of the relationship between responsibility and rights, but also difficult to help the poor accurately.

In reality, some poor households do have a negative mentality of "waiting for help", but this is the real problem that poverty alleviation should focus on. Chen Xingjia also mentioned in his open letter that "accurate poverty alleviation is not only to help the poor improve their living conditions, but also to help them turn over economically and spiritually", but obviously gratitude can't achieve this goal. It should be noted that the negative mentality of poor households is certainly related to personal mental state, but it is also related to the extensive poverty alleviation methods in the past. For example, flood irrigation to help the poor, "giving people fish" instead of "giving people fish", of course, is easy to cause some people to be lazy, and it will split the connection between government poverty alleviation assistance and poor households' independent poverty alleviation.

What needs to be faced squarely is that the government should not presuppose that poor households have high moral standards and are self-motivated. Moreover, the formation of some seemingly individual negative psychology is closely related to regional living conditions and rights. Relieving "mental poverty" is not a one-off event, and "taking it out on poor households" cannot solve the problem. It is also difficult to help poor households effectively through different ways.

For the phenomenon that some cadres are more anxious than poor households in poverty alleviation, we should also reflect on the working methods of poverty alleviation and the design of cadre assessment system. If the working methods are appropriate and the incentive mechanism is appropriate, the poverty alleviation performance of officials will not be denied because of individual circumstances, and the mentality of "I play with you" of some poor households will be difficult to succeed.

Poverty alleviation has entered a critical stage, and the rest are "hard bones." One of the difficulties is that poverty in some areas can not be lifted out of poverty only through individual efforts and coordinated regional development, but must rely on the outside world from resource input to accurate satisfaction of rights. If we still overemphasize the reasons of poor households and emphasize that poor households should be grateful, we may form the illusion that "poverty is the fault of the poor".

How to mobilize and stimulate the enthusiasm of poor households for poverty alleviation really tests the wisdom of implementing precise poverty alleviation in reality. It is obviously impossible to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation by only emphasizing gratitude.
