内容简介

When moonlight awakes, it can return to the sky; when a bird is weary, it can turn back to the forest; but the loss of a mother leaves her child no place to rest. A home without a mother is incomplete, empty and lifeless. A child without a mother has no home to turn to, regardless of the child’s age. With your mother, you have a home; when she is gone, your home disappears with her. When their mother is there, brothers and sisters live as a family; with their mother gone, the siblings are relatives only. Even if a man lives to be a hundred, he must have his mother! Without her, does it matter if you can buy everything twice in the world? Without her, does it matter if you have the whole world at your fingertips? You are still a homeless child! And now, I have become that homeless child. I have lost my mother. I have lost my home. I shall never, ever see her on the balcony, watching me leave, waiting for my return... 本书讲述了精准扶贫战略思想首倡地十八洞在基层扶贫工作的酸甜苦辣，展现了以十八洞为缩影的湘西山水美、民风淳、人情好、人性真，体现了基层干部的尽忠职守。以案例的形式对“决胜脱贫攻坚”的理论实践问题和所取得的成功经验等进行了详细阐述。 This book details the major obstacles and achievements of implementing poverty alleviation.
