On the orientation and requirements of "coordinating urban and rural development and promoting the construction of new socialist countryside"

The goal and requirement of building a new socialist countryside are "twenty words", namely: production development, affluent life, civilized rural customs, clean village appearance and democratic management.

Orientation of building a new socialist countryside;

1. Building a new socialist countryside is an important measure to implement Scientific Outlook on Development. Scientific Outlook on Development is a concentrated expression of the world outlook and methodology guiding development, revealing the objective laws of China's economic and social development, and is a major innovation of Marxist development theory. Building a new socialist countryside and promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas is the proper meaning of Scientific Outlook on Development's topic. To adhere to the people-oriented principle, we must base ourselves on all urban and rural residents and let farmers, who account for the majority of the population, participate in the development process and enjoy the fruits of development. To achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, we must focus on all towns and attach importance to rural work. This requires us to accelerate the development of rural economy, promote the all-round progress of rural society, and build the largest ecological barrier in rural areas. If it is divorced from the wishes of farmers and ignores their interests, development can not truly reflect people-oriented; If the rural economic and social development lags behind and the rural ecological environment is not obviously improved, it is impossible to achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. We must deeply understand the internal relationship between building a new socialist countryside and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, promote the building of a new socialist countryside more consciously and actively, and push the economic and social development onto the track of scientific development as soon as possible.

2. Building a new socialist countryside is an inevitable requirement to ensure the smooth progress of modernization. International experience shows that the coordinated development of workers, farmers and cities is an important prerequisite for the success or failure of modernization. Some countries have handled the relationship between workers, farmers and cities well, and their economy and society have developed rapidly, and they have quickly entered the ranks of modern countries. However, some countries have failed to properly handle the relationship between workers, farmers and cities, resulting in long-term backwardness in rural areas and excessive concentration of population in cities, forming a large number of urban poor classes, causing economic stagnation or even retrogression, seriously hindering the modernization process. China is a large developing country with a large population and obvious dual structure. In the process of promoting industrialization and urbanization, we must learn from foreign positive and negative experiences and take the road of modernization with China characteristics, that is, the coordinated development of industry and agriculture and the prosperity of urban and rural areas. In recent years, despite our great efforts, the long-standing imbalance between workers and peasants and the imbalance between urban and rural areas has not fundamentally changed, and some aspects are still intensifying. If the gap between urban and rural areas widens further and rural areas cannot get rid of backwardness, China will not become a truly modern country. We must accurately grasp China's basic national conditions and the laws governing economic and social development, ensure that the construction of a new socialist countryside is promoted simultaneously with industrialization and urbanization, bring agricultural and rural development into the whole process of modernization, and let hundreds of millions of farmers share the fruits of modernization.

3. Building a new socialist countryside is the key task of building a well-off society in an all-round way. The well-off society we are building in an all-round way is a higher level well-off society that benefits more than one billion people. Since the reform and opening up, China's economy and society have developed continuously and rapidly, and great changes have taken place in the urban landscape, but the rural landscape has changed relatively little. At present, the development level of many cities has approached or reached the level of some developed countries, but there are still some places in rural areas that are inaccessible to roads, unable to go to school or drink clean water. There are still about 600 million people living in rural areas in China, and farmers are still a very large social group. If the agricultural problems are not solved well, the rural landscape will not be effectively changed, and the farmers' lives will not be significantly improved, building a well-off society in an all-round way will become empty talk. Therefore, to achieve the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the focus is on the countryside, and the difficulty is also in the countryside. We should accelerate the process of building a well-off society in rural areas by promoting the construction of a new socialist countryside.

4. Building a new socialist countryside is a lasting motive force to maintain the steady and rapid development of the national economy. For a big country with a population of1300 million, expanding domestic demand is a long-term strategic policy and the basic foothold of economic development. Rural population accounts for the majority, with the largest number of consumers and the greatest potential, which is the most reliable and lasting power source for China's economic growth. By promoting the construction of new socialist countryside, we can speed up the development of rural economy, increase farmers' income, turn hundreds of millions of farmers' potential willingness to buy into huge realistic consumption demand, and then promote the sustained growth of the whole economy. Especially by strengthening rural roads, housing, energy and water conservancy, communications and other construction. It can not only improve the production and living conditions in rural areas and the consumption environment of farmers, but also greatly release the consumption potential, digest the excess capacity of some industries at present and promote the development of related industries. Promoting the construction of new socialist countryside and activating the huge demand in rural areas is not only a countermeasure to solve the outstanding contradictions and problems in the current rural economic development, but also a long-term solution to maintain the steady and rapid development of the national economy.

5. Building a new socialist countryside is an important foundation for building a harmonious socialist society. An important aspect of building a harmonious socialist society is to do a good job in the countryside, let farmers live and work in peace and contentment, and make the countryside stable, orderly and full of vitality. At present, the rural areas are generally stable and the relationship between cadres and the masses is good, but there are also many contradictions and problems that cannot be ignored. In particular, disputes caused by environmental pollution, land contracting and farmers' burden are frequent, and some even lead to mass incidents and vicious incidents, which have affected social stability in some places. A considerable number of farmers are at a disadvantage in market competition because of their low educational level and low employment skills; Some farmers have great survival pressure, unfair treatment and psychological imbalance, which will lead to social contradictions if they are not handled well. We must keep a clear understanding, attach great importance to it ideologically and intensify our work. Promoting the construction of new socialist countryside can effectively accelerate rural development, safeguard farmers' legitimate rights and interests, alleviate rural social contradictions, reduce rural unstable factors and lay a solid foundation for building a harmonious socialist society.
