Students, when we see the bright five-star red flag rising and when we sing the majestic national anthem, our hearts are filled with pride and happiness. We are proud to be citizens of the great Republic of China, and we sing for today's happy life. But at the same time, are you worried about our motherland?
Our country has a large population. On average, one out of every five people in the world is Chinese. According to the 2019 census, my country's population has reached 1.4 billion. And what about the cultivated land area in our country? It only accounts for 7% of the world's arable land, but supports 22% of the world's population. The problem of feeding so many people has become the first big problem in our country. Have you ever worried about this biggest problem in our country?
Yes, we have the leadership of the Communist Party, we have a superior socialist system, and we have already solved the problem of feeding the people that old China could not solve for thousands of years. We should be proud of it! However, through the following figures, we should also see that the heavy population burden not only makes food a big problem, but also affects the speed of socialist construction in our country.
There is such a set of data. In 2000, my country ranked first in the world in terms of grain, cotton, and meat production. However, based on the average population, the per capita food supply is only 362 kilograms, which is lower than the world average and even lower than some developing countries. What’s even more touching is that isn’t New China today many times better than the Tang and Song dynasties more than a thousand years ago? However, due to the rapid increase in population, the per capita amount of grain was more than 200 kilograms less than in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Someone has made this analogy: the mouths of 1.2 billion people combined are larger than the largest square in the world - Tiananmen Square. What a big mouth! Just the 15 million new people added every year will eat 5 billion kilograms of food! Therefore, increasing food production and saving food are of particularly great significance to our country.
Students all know that the United Nations designates October 16th every year as World Food Day, and the Party Central Committee and the State Council decided to designate the week of World Food Day as Food Festival Week. We must carry out various theme activities to cherish food and save food. Today, we know the national conditions and further clarify the special significance of cherishing and saving food. Each of our classmates must start from now and take practical actions to share the worries of the party and the country, and carry out the activities of cherishing and saving food. Carry on in a down-to-earth manner.
