At the end of the film, I cried my eyes out. I was deeply moved by the protagonist Huang Wenxiu in the movie.
Huang Wenxiu, who graduated from Beijing Normal University with excellent results, could have stayed in the capital to work hard, but she did not hesitate to return to her hometown of Baise, Guangxi, actively responded to the call of the CPC Central Committee, became the first resident secretary of a poor mountain village, and led the villagers to become rich. Finally, due to a sudden rainstorm, she died on the road to poverty alleviation, and her life was fixed at a young age of 30.
In Huang Wenxiu, I saw people's persistence and sacrifice in poverty alleviation. It is thousands of poverty alleviation cadres like Huang Wenxiu in Qian Qian that make thousands of poor people in China take off the poverty hat and embark on the road of becoming rich.
2020 is the closing year of China's fight against poverty, and China's great achievements in fighting poverty have attracted worldwide attention and amazed the world.
The poverty problem in China has been solved, but what about the poverty problems in other countries in the world?
This question will tell us the answer in the book "The Essence of Poverty".
The book "The Essence of Poverty" mainly discusses the following issues: There are 654.38 billion people in the world, living at the bottom and living below the poverty line of $0.99 every day. Trillions of dollars in aid failed to rescue them from the quagmire. They are still trapped in the "poverty trap" and the road ahead is unknown ... Why are these poor people poor? Why can't we get rid of poverty?
654.38+0 billion poor people! Living below $0.99 a day! Seeing these two numbers, I was shocked! How do they live with such a huge poor population and such a low standard of living?
In addition, the author of this book also discusses the following issues about poverty with readers:
1. Why do poor people buy TV when they don't have enough to eat?
2. Why don't their children like studying even when they go to school?
Why do they spend their money on medicine instead of enjoying a free healthy life?
4. Why can they start a business but find it difficult to keep it?
5. Why do most people think that microfinance and poor banks are useless?
The Nature of Poverty has two authors, one of whom is Abigit? Ban Naji is a professor of international economics at the Ford Foundation of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Studying at the University of Calcutta, India, Jawaharlal? Nehru University and Harvard University; He used to be director of the Bureau of Development Economics Analysis and Research, researcher of American College of Arts and Sciences and Econometrics, Guggenheim Foundation and Alfred? Fellow, Si Long Foundation. He has won many awards, such as the Infosys Prize in 2009, and served as honorary consultant to many organizations such as the World Bank and the Indian government.
The second author Esther? Duflo, Abdul? Latif? Jamir Professor of Poverty Alleviation and Development Economics; He studied at Paris Teachers College and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Won many honors: 20 10 John? Bates. Clark Award, MacArthur Scholarship in 2009, one of the eight outstanding economists in The Economist, one of the most influential thinkers in Foreign Policy Magazine 100, and one of the 40 most influential enterprises under 40 in Fortune Magazine 20 10.
In 2003, Ban Naji and Duflo co-founded Abdul? Latif? Jamir poverty action laboratory, and has been working together to provide guidance for the laboratory. The task of J-PAL laboratory is to ensure that the formulation of poverty alleviation policies has a scientific basis, so as to reduce the number of poor people. The research results of J-PAL Laboratory have gained international recognition and won the annual "Frontier of Knowledge" award in banco bilbao vizcaya argentaria, Bilbao, Spain.
Starting from 15, in order to find out why people are poor and what specific problems poverty will cause, so that the poor can't escape from the "poverty trap", the two authors went deep into the poor world of many countries on five continents and investigated 18 countries and regions where the poor are most concentrated, and explored the real poverty from the daily life, education, health, entrepreneurship, assistance and government of the poor.
At the same time, the two authors also reflect on some popular views on poverty, such as: the more aid, the stronger the dependence of the poor, and the ineffectiveness of external aid. They pointed out that many years of poverty alleviation policies ended in failure because people's understanding of poverty was not deep enough and good steel was not used in the cutting edge.
This book puts forward some practical suggestions with a large number of examples, in order to find a poverty alleviation program that can stand the test, and provides important guidance for policy makers, philanthropists, politicians and all people in the world who want to get rid of poverty.
After reading the celebrity recommendation and the preface of the author of this book, my heart has been extremely shocked: I never thought that there were 654.38 billion poor people in the world, and I never thought that so many young children in the world died of hunger and disease every day because of family poverty.
I am glad that I live in a country where people are honest, harmonious, rich and stable. Although there were some poor people around me before, in China, under the guidance of poverty alleviation cadres in the village, they embarked on the road of benign development and wealth.
Even if one day, some people who have been lifted out of poverty in our country become poor due to illness and study, the country will not give up. Because China has formed a set of perfect poverty alleviation policy system.
Looking forward to the poor people all over the world, getting out of the haze of poor life as soon as possible.
