"Food waste phenomenon, shocking, distressing!" General Secretary Xi Jinping recently issued important instructions on stopping food waste, pointing out that it is necessary to strengthen legislation, strengthen supervision, take effective measures, establish a long-term mechanism, and resolutely stop food waste. He stressed the need to further strengthen publicity and education, earnestly cultivate the habit of saving, and create an atmosphere of shameful waste and pride in saving in the whole society. The important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping show our party's clear attitude and firm determination to practice thrift and oppose extravagance and waste, and reflect the people's feelings that the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core attaches great importance to food security and deeply cares about the lives of the people.

"Frugality is the common virtue; extravagance is the great evil." As early as the beginning of 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions, emphasizing that "the wind of waste must be severely curbed" and calling for "efforts to make strict economy and oppose waste become a common practice in the whole society". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, from resolutely cleaning up and rectifying "waste on the tip of the tongue" and "entertainment on the wine table" and other outstanding issues that cadres and the masses hate, to formulating the "Regulations for Party and Government Organs to Strictly Save and Oppose Waste" and effectively curb official expenditures Various violations of discipline, regulations and laws in the consumption of public funds, to the launch of the "CD-ROM action" to eat all the Chinese food and set off a new style of table waste, which is proud of shameful economy, a series of effective rectification measures have promoted the improvement of the phenomenon of food and beverage waste. In particular, the public food and beverage waste behavior strongly reflected by the masses has been effectively curbed, and a good fashion of strict economy in the whole party and society is taking shape. At the same time, it should also be noted that the phenomenon of food waste still exists in some places, and some are even shocking and distressing. We must resolutely implement the spirit of General Secretary Jinping's important instructions, formulate and implement more powerful measures, and promote the whole society to further promote the work of stopping food waste.

Hard work, diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the fine style of our party. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "In the past, our party continued to achieve great achievements through hard work, diligence and thrift. Now we still have to use this kind of thinking to guide our work." While speeding up economic development, the party and the government pay attention to economy and oppose waste, and take the lead in living a "tight life" in order to enable the people to live a good life. No matter what level of development our country has reached, no matter how far the people's lives have improved, the idea and spirit of hard work, diligence and thrift can never be lost. All comrades in the party must keep in mind that "hard work, diligence and thrift are not only an important guarantee for our development and growth along the way, but also an important guarantee for us to carry forward the past and create new glories". At this historical intersection of the realization of the "two centenary" goals, the glorious historical mission, the grand goal of struggle, and the complex internal and external environment all call on us to vigorously promote the style of hard work, practice diligence and thrift, oppose extravagance and waste, and concentrate on doing our own things well.

It should also be noted that stopping food waste is of great significance to the protection of food security. my country is a country with a large population and relatively insufficient land resources. In the medium and long term, my country's food production and demand will still maintain a tight balance. The waste of resources and environmental pollution caused by food waste must not be underestimated. Our country has a population of 1.4 billion. Whether everyone and every family saves food or wastes food is not a small sum. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Despite the bumper harvests in China's grain production, there is always a sense of crisis in food security, and the impact of this year's global neo-coronary pneumonia epidemic is a wake-up call for us." The more we face the risks and challenges, the more we must put the protection of food security in a prominent position, not only do a good job in food production, ensure that the Chinese people's rice bowls are firmly in their own hands at all times, but also tighten the string of food conservation, resolutely stop the waste of food and beverage, and promote the realization of economy and prosperity of the people and the country.

This year is the year in which the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way has been achieved and the year in which the battle against poverty has been won in an all-round way. Starting from next year, China will enter the 14th five-year Plan period, which is the first five years to start a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way on the basis of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. Let us carry forward the fine style of hard work, diligence and thrift, gather the struggle forces of the whole party and the people of the whole country, and make a good start for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
