Ningmin Town has come to an end. If you want to get rid of poverty, why not move to a better place?

Recently, a popular TV series "Ning Min Town" about poverty alleviation came to a close on 24th of this month. The drama is based on the fact that the people and cadres in Xihaigu responded to the call of the national poverty alleviation policy and completed the relocation in different places since the 1990s. It tells the story that Ma Defu, a newly graduated poverty alleviation cadre, received an arduous task. In order to make the villagers in Xihaigu live a better life, Ma Defu mobilized the villagers to move with the help of his father Ma Shoushui, but there were many problems in the process of moving and emigrating. The play didn't start until June 12, and it ended quickly in just 23 episodes, which made people want to stop. Such a short and pithy series tells a story of poverty alleviation completely.

At the end of the story of Ning Min Town, Ma Defu, a poverty alleviation cadre, finally succeeded in leading the whole village out of poverty and re-rooting in a better place. Then time turned to the future, and everyone had a wonderful time, taking their children back to the original Yongquan village to find their roots. The original barren hills turned into green mountains and green waters, and finally succeeded in getting rid of poverty through hard struggle. This change also touched the audience.

The story of the TV series is over, but it raises a question worthy of people's deep thought: since we want to get rid of poverty, why not move to a better place?

There are actually many reasons for this. In a better place, the population is also large, the employment pressure is great, and the land where people live is also very tight, so that people from poor villages can move to these developed areas at once. How to coordinate land resources and solve employment and housing problems will also cause great trouble to the country and the government. Furthermore, why should we relocate to help the poor? The migration of people from poor areas will reduce human efforts to develop this barren land, reduce the pressure of population on the land, alleviate the contradiction between people and land, improve the carrying capacity of the land, protect the environment in this fragile ecological environment, and realize a virtuous circle of population and resources and environment, which is why at the end of the TV series, barren hills will become green mountains and green waters. There is also a poor village with a relatively large proportion of the population, which may be the left-behind elderly. They have a strong idea of returning to their hometown, while developed areas are generally far away from such poor areas, and people who have strong feelings for their roots will not agree to move.

Therefore, poverty alleviation work must be carried out step by step, and we should not aim too high.
