Everyone unanimously expressed that the spirit of this work exchange meeting, especially the speech by Secretary Zhang Xiaoqiang, has provided guidance and direction for grassroots Party members and cadres to consolidate and expand the educational outcomes of establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, and has provided answers to the question of "for whom are achievements made, and what kind of achievements should be made." In future work, they will firmly establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, take on projects, benefit people's livelihoods, and promote development with a practical and energetic spirit, and test the effectiveness of learning and implementation through tangible development results that the people can feel and access.

Yuzhong County: Reflecting achievements in project construction and in the people's praise

On the afternoon of September 22, a reporter walked into the ostrich breeding base in Sunjiaying Village at the foot of Qinglongling in Yuzhong County, where groups of ostriches were leisurely strolling, foraging, and playing inside the fences. "At present, our farm has a total of 160 adult ostriches, of which more than 80 are in the laying period, with each bird laying 60 to 80 eggs per year on average. Apart from commercial eggs, more than 1,400 chicks can also be hatched, and the chicks are ready for market in 10 months and begin laying eggs after 3 years old," base manager Ding Wenwu told reporters, adding that the base was originally located in Huajiaying Village, and last year, to expand the breeding scale, this new base was built in Sunjiaying Village. Speaking of breeding income, Ding Wenwu said with a smile that market conditions differ from year to year, and in the past two years mainly the leather and feather business has been better. At present, ostrich meat sells for 20 to 30 yuan per jin on the market, an egg for about 150 to 200 yuan, and chicks for 500 to 800 yuan each, so returns are still acceptable. It is reported that in recent years, the Party committee and government of Xiaguanying Town have encouraged the public to develop specialty breeding on the basis of existing housed livestock farming, and this place has now become the largest ostrich breeding and propagation center in Gansu Province. "As a grassroots Party member, after carefully studying the experience of brother townships and Secretary Zhang Xiaoqiang's speech, I have become even more determined to internalize the correct view of political achievements in my heart and externalize it in action, and to promote work with practical responsibility. I will take practical action and tackle project construction with a nail-driving spirit, so that the people's lives become more prosperous," said Li Wenzheng, member of the Party committee and deputy mayor of Xiaguanying Town, who is in charge of rural revitalization work. He said that the town is currently focusing on the core goal of empowering rural revitalization through industry and driving the people to increase income and become prosperous, striving to promote quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, capacity expansion, and upgrading of four major agricultural industrial parks: the Yuzhong Agricultural Demonstration Park, Longjiahe, Longfenghe, and the Flower Industry Base, while also promoting the entry of local high-quality specialty agricultural products into campuses and directly into the consumer market. It is understood that since the beginning of this year, Xiaguanying Town has planned 15 construction projects with a total investment of about 23.3743 million yuan. Among them, infrastructure construction projects account for 19.6843 million yuan, and industrial development projects account for 1.4 million yuan. At present, a total of 24,020.75 meters of new village roads and lanes have been built, 12,373 meters of irrigation canal systems have been laid, and 138 steel-frame greenhouses covering a total of 155 mu have been constructed. "After listening to Secretary Zhang Xiaoqiang's speech on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, I have come to understand even more deeply that post-disaster reconstruction is not simply repairing houses and replacing facilities, and even less about rushing to create 'model sites' or pursue short-term eye-catching results. The real achievement is safeguarding the bottom line of public safety, steadily helping disaster-affected people rebuild their homes, and strengthening the foundation for rural disaster prevention and mitigation," said Chen Wankai, Party branch secretary and village committee director of Shangzhuang Village in Mapo Township. He said that the achievements of village cadres are not on display boards or in report materials, but in the praise of the people. In autumn, Maxian Mountain already shows mottled colors. Walking along the newly hardened cement road into Shangzhuang Village, rows of houses with white walls and gray tiles are neatly arranged. Entering villager Chen Baoming's home, the bright living room connects to the kitchen, with full tiling and a dry-wet separated bathroom fully equipped with a toilet and shower facilities. Chen Baoming's new home has a living area of about 100 square meters. He told reporters that when he moved in, the renovation had already been completed, and the family could "move in with their bags." Cadres also provided each household with free refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances, as well as rice, flour, oil, coal, and other daily necessities. Chen Baoming's son, Chen Wanrui, 22 years old, returned to the new home after school vacation and was delighted to find that a flush toilet had replaced the previous dry latrine and that he could take a shower at home. Chen Wankai told reporters that since the beginning of this year, the village "two committees" have planned industrial recovery according to local conditions and steadily strengthened the collective economy. In June this year, the United Front Work Department of the Yuzhong County Party Committee, together with the Yuzhong County General Branch of the China Democratic National Construction Association, connected with the provincial Democratic National Construction Association and the China Siyuan Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, secured 200,000 yuan in assistance funds, and built in Shangzhuang Village one 500-square-meter Chinese medicinal herb drying shed and one 200-square-meter rain shelter. The project has now been completed, and after completion it is expected to increase the village collective income by 20,000 yuan per year and drive 120 farming households to increase income by about 2,000 yuan per household per year.

Gaolan County: Hearing the people's voices and seeing their urgent difficulties and worries

Shuifu Town in Gaolan County is adjacent to the urban area of Lanzhou and Lanzhou New Area. In recent years, based on its foundation in planting and breeding industries, the town has cultivated the "Yanguanchuan" urban modern agriculture and standardized laying hen breeding industries. Walking into the Gansu Fuyuanchang Breeding Professional Cooperative Association, two standardized chicken houses come into view. The chicken houses use automated equipment for feeding, watering, manure cleaning, temperature control, and egg collection. Warm eggs are delivered by conveyor belt to the workers' hands, and the workers skillfully sort them. The packed eggs are boxed and sent to the market. "In his speech at this work exchange meeting, Secretary Zhang Xiaoqiang profoundly explained that delivering for the people is the greatest achievement, and that in starting undertakings and doing business one must not pursue short-term highlights or superficial projects," said Hou Xiaomei, deputy mayor of Shuifu Town. She said that for township agricultural cadres, basing themselves on the town's conditions, taking root in the fields, and truly doing a good job in agricultural industries so that the people can steadily increase income through industrial development is the most tangible achievement. In 2025, the "Yanguanchuan" urban modern agriculture industrial park achieved an output value of 7.5 million yuan, drove an increase of 265,000 yuan in village collective income, increased households' income by more than 1,200 yuan on average through land transfer, and increased per capita income by more than 30,000 yuan through nearby employment. The Fuyuanchang laying hen farm achieved an output value of 14 million yuan, drove more than 100,000 yuan in collective income growth for 7 villages, helped 41 poverty-stricken households increase income by 2,500 yuan on average, and provided 167 long-term and short-term employment positions. The main structure of the specialty agricultural product storage and fresh-keeping warehouse in Changchuan Village, Shuifu Town, has been completed, and workers are busy installing and debugging vacuum packaging machines. This project, with a total investment of 1.5601 million yuan, started in July this year. At present, 95% of the overall project volume has been completed, and it is expected to be completed in mid-October. The project is designed with a storage capacity of 257 tons and is divided into two cold storage rooms for white melons and plateau summer vegetables. After completion, it can reduce the loss rate of agricultural products under normal temperature storage from more than 22% to less than 7%, increase annual village collective economic income by more than 50,000 yuan, and drive more than 15 long-term workers and more than 200 seasonal workers. "Previously, without a cold storage facility, vegetables could only be sold first to small vendors and peddlers, with prices pressed down to 80 cents, and vegetable farmers could not make money. With the cold storage, peppers can be stored for half a month to 20 days and sold during off-peak periods, and vegetable farmers' income can increase by about 30%," said Chen Xiaodong, head of the Juxinnong Planting Professional Cooperative in Gaolan County. Hou Xiaomei said that Shuifu Town will continue to optimize the industrial structure, extend the agricultural product production and sales chain, closely link industrial development with increasing people's income, and at the same time firmly guard the bottom line of agricultural safety, do a good job in farmland management and protection and agricultural product quality and safety, and consolidate the foundation for long-term agricultural development. Recently, the natural gas installation project in Wu'er Community of Sanchuankou Community, Shidong Town, Gaolan County, officially began construction. Previously, due to restrictions on the direction of the main natural gas pipeline laying, Wu'er Community had long been unable to connect to the network, and more than 1,400 households relied on bottled liquefied gas and electrical equipment for daily gas use. "Secretary Zhang Xiaoqiang emphasized in his speech that we must persist in making achievements for the people and making achievements through practical work. The achievement of grassroots work lies in whether we can hear the people's voices, see their urgent difficulties and worries, and truly handle the people's troubles well," said Sun Li, Party secretary of Sanchuankou Community. At the construction site in Wu'er Community, reporters saw construction workers carrying out household meter installation and pressure testing. "Before natural gas was installed, our community basically used liquefied gas. There was no gas plant nearby, and gas delivery was irregular. If the gas suddenly ran out, we could not even cook. There were also safety hazards in the use of liquefied gas, and residents still had concerns," said resident Cao Zhenhua. To solve this problem, Sanchuankou Community adhered to Party building leadership and relied on the four-party joint mechanism of the community, residential compound, property Party organization, and homeowners' committee to concentrate efforts on tackling the issue. The special work team repeatedly joined with the housing and construction department and the natural gas company to conduct on-site surveys, optimize the construction plan, and coordinate matters one by one such as site planning, pipeline laying, and unifying public opinion. Since the beginning of this year, the community has also promoted the introduction of property management for the No. 2 Middle School family compound and roof waterproofing repairs for the Xidian family compound, and joined with the Industry and Information Technology Bureau to carry out "three lines" rectification, continuously improving the living environment of old residential compounds. Sun Li said that next she will lead the community team to continue handling practical matters for people's livelihoods, carefully carry out investigation and mediation of contradictions and disputes, strictly carry out hidden danger investigation and prevention and control, and enhance the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the people in the jurisdiction through tangible work results.
