"The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the dragon pomelo is ripe. The poverty alleviation target Lao Xu Longyu has a bumper harvest, although he has already been lifted out of poverty, but he still has to help, and he can't go back to poverty!Anyone who wants to be able to contact him, can also contact me. Thank you all for your support over the years!This is a message posted by Xu Zhixin on WeChat Moments on September 5, 2022 to help sell dragon pomelo. Looking through her circle of friends, there is a lot of such information.
Xu Zhixin is 76 years old this year, she was born in a revolutionary family and grew up listening to the stories of revolutionary martyrs. In 1969, she went to Wu'an Lin Fruit Farm to go to the countryside, and her five-year life in the queue allowed her to experience the hardships and hardships of rural life. In 2002, Xu Zhixin retired from the Food Bureau, and she started her own business and started a public welfare undertaking that was in full swing, and everyone affectionately called her "Xu Ma".
Helping the disabled: Let them live with dignity.
For many people, retirement has begun, and it is time to spend the rest of their lives at home. But Xu Zhixin didn't think so. She feels that 55 years old is still very young, and there are many dreams to try. She has experienced the wave of running businesses in the early days of reform and opening up, and has accumulated some experience by managing subordinate industrial enterprises during her work in the food system. After retiring, she naturally came up with the idea of starting a business.
In 2002, she founded Changtai Hongtai Plastic Industry Co., Ltd., and recruited 24 disabled people for employment at the beginning of the company. Allowing them to live on their own and with dignity is Xu Zhixin's original intention of recruiting people with disabilities. Xu Zhixin has formulated the core corporate culture of "Harmony Hongtai, You and I Walk Together", which means that the able-bodied and the disabled can move forward together in the harmonious family of Hongtai and work and live in the same "decent".
There are 24 different disabilities for 24 disabled people, and in order to allow them to do what they can, Xu Zhixin has adjusted all the types of work, and has tried until it is suitable, and set up posts for people with disabilities. There is a disabled person who is a dwarf, 1 23 meters tall, weak, but has a technical secondary school education level, the company has specially set up a quality inspection link for her in the bag cutting process;One of the two male employees is a dwarf and has a low IQ, and the other is seriously lame and can only do simple work, and the company has invested more than 100,000 yuan to increase a ** workshop, so that they have the opportunity to work. There was a deaf-mute person who was at a loss for work at the beginning, Xu Zhixin repeatedly taught her hand in hand, adjusted 4 positions for her in a row, "for one person, move a group of people", and it was more than 4 months to toss in training. Now she has become an all-round expert, and she has achieved good rankings in labor skills competitions every year.
Xu Zhixin put forward the slogan of "let the disabled have a stable income and enjoy the benefits higher than that of the able-bodied", and implemented an 8-hour working system for disabled employees, and some employees had low work efficiency, and the company gave compensation free of charge, with wages ranging from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan. Xu Zhixin also paid pensions, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and other types of insurance for disabled employees in full, and the part borne by the individual was also paid by the company to give better treatment. On the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, we buy a New Year's gift for disabled employees, visit them for the New Year, and send red envelopes to their childrenWhen the children of disabled employees are unable to pay tuition fees when they go to school, Xu Zhixin asks employees to advance their salaries. Many disabled employees were moved to say that Mr. Xu was like our mother. Since then, the heartwarming title of "Xu Ma" has slowly spread.
Not only that, Xu Zhixin also encourages more people to care for and support people with disabilities through his own actions. In 2014, Xu Zhixin planned and created a series of activities to care for disabled children, including photography exhibitions, micro-films, summer camps and other colorful activities. Under her leadership and influence, more and more people have joined the team of helping the disabled.

Helping the poor: Helping the poor in the most stupid way.
From 2006 to 2018, Xu Zhixin served as the president of the Gunong Farm Chamber of Commerce. In 2016, he also served as the deputy secretary of the non-public party committee of Changtai Economic Development Zone. These positions made her feel the social responsibility on her shoulders. In 2016, Xu Zhixin's Gunong Farm Chamber of Commerce responded to the call of "100 enterprises to help 100 families", connected with Banli Township for targeted poverty alleviation, and helped 15 poor households with registered cards. "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Xu Zhixin believes that poverty alleviation is not to arrange and distribute money, and cannot simply use money to solve problems, but to adopt the way of industrial poverty alleviation to realize the transformation from "blood transfusion" to "hematopoietic" poverty alleviation, so that poor families can ignite the faith and courage of life, in order to completely cut off the "root of poverty". She visited poor households alone and formulated targeted poverty alleviation projects such as "raising laying hens" and "planting fruit trees".
At the beginning, the promotion of the poverty alleviation project was vigorous, the farmer chamber of commerce bought 1,200 laying hens to send to 12 poor households of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and purchased 8,450 hibiscus plum seedlings to 33 poor households. However, it backfired. During the Spring Festival of 2017, when Xu Zhixin visited the poverty alleviation targets, he saw a sad face: "Eggs can't be sold!."Looking at the boxes of eggs piled up, Xu Zhixin was very sad, and the unsalable eggs would make them "poorer and poorer"!During the visit, she heard that some poor households received hibiscus plum seedlings, and when they encountered the problem of poor sales and inability to continue planting, her heart became heavier and heavier.
That night, Xu Zhixin couldn't sleep all night. She thought about it for a night and decided to use the stupidest way to alleviate poverty. She handed over most of the company's affairs to the vice president, and she carried the camera to run around the woodland and wilderness suburbs where poor households raised laying hens, and sent the ** of the "chicken girl" growth environment to WeChat. She also drove to the bus station every day to pick up the eggs sent by poor households from the Banli bus, and she delivered them to the buyers, and adhered to the road of "micro-business" of selling eggs with money for more than 400 days. A love chain of "sending chickens, laying eggs, receiving eggs, sending eggs, and buying eggs" extends from Banli to the county seat, Zhangzhou, and Xiamen. Under her influence, the team involved in buying eggs and helping to sell eggs is getting bigger and bigger, including government officials, enterprise employees, and even ordinary citizens. Xu Zhixin also filmed the micro-movie "Dragon Grapefruit is Ripe", which made Sakari Longyu, who was originally "raised in the depths of the boudoir unknown", become an Internet celebrity overnight.
Lao Xu's family, a poor household, lives in a dilapidated house, with only 15 acres of land, and makes a living by planting dragon pomelo. Dragon pomelo is a local specialty fruit, sweet and sour, juicy and delicious, but the shelf life is only 1 month, in the past few years, there was a poor market, ** continued to decline. Coupled with his father's illness and debt, he felt that his life had fallen into a low point. Xu Zhixin was anxious in his eyes, and if he wanted to see hope, he had to start with the sales of dragon pomelo. He started to shoot a micro-film to publicize, and that year, the ** of the dragon pomelo doubled, and his family's dragon pomelo sold for nearly 20,000 yuan, and successfully took off the "hat" of poor households. After tasting the sweetness, he is full of confidence in life. During the harvest season, he was busy in the orchard from morning to nightHe also formed a small engineering team during his off-season. In less than 4 years, he turned from poor to rich, and his family built a new three-story house. He is also enthusiastic about public welfare, helping to deliver eggs and donating money to sick college students.
Lao Tang, a poor household in Xinchun Village, was old and in debt, and once felt hopeless in life. From 2016 to the present, Lao Tang has increased his income by more than 100,000 yuan just by raising laying hens and selling eggs, not only paying off the debt of more than 200,000 yuan owed by his son before his death, but also building a new house. Lao Tang built a new house, Xu Zhixin donated money and sent beds, wardrobes and sofas, mobilizing social forces to donate money and materials, so that Lao Tang could move into the new house as soon as possible.
In just over a year, all the poverty alleviation targets helped by Xu Zhixin have been lifted out of poverty. In 2018, Xu Zhixin won the honorary title of "Outstanding Women's Volunteer Service Organization in Fujian Province".
Xu Zhixin said goodbye to the villagers.
Student Aid: Make it affordable for rural students to go to college.
When I was studying at Xu Zhixin High School, there were only more than 30 students in one class in the county. At that time, the economic conditions were poor, and it was very difficult for the family to support a high school student. That time left an unforgettable impression in Xu Zhixin's heart.
In August 2011, Xu Zhixin once happened to hear that a junior girl in Jishan Village had become a vegetative person due to her father's car accident and was about to take a break from school to work to help her family tide over the difficulties. Hearing the news, Xu Zhixin was very worried, and she suddenly took out 16,000 yuan to help the female college student complete her studies. In the second year, Xu Zhixin advocated that the Gunong Farm Chamber of Commerce set up a "Dream of Helping Students" and "Education Association", and the Chamber of Commerce contributed 120,000 yuan every year to subsidize 60 high school students in Changtai120,000 yuan to subsidize the children of poor migrant workers in Xingtai Primary School;180,000 rewards for outstanding teachers of Gunong Farm;120,000 yuan to subsidize poor college students until they succeed in their studies. In 2012, 8 entrepreneurs from Gunong Farm joined the meetingIn 2013, 30 entrepreneurs from Gunong Farm were addedIn 2018, an entrepreneur who did not want to be named joined silently;In 2020, AnAn Group was also added. With the funding of the Chamber of Commerce, a female student from Changtai who completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at Peking University and is now studying for a doctorate, has published in many authoritative journals around the world**, and presented her research results at the Lancet Conference.
For the aided students, Xu Zhixin put forward a request, they must return to their hometowns every year to participate in 10-day volunteer service activities, so that they know how to give back to the society and pass on their love. In 2014, the sponsored college students set up the "College Student Volunteer Service Team" to volunteer for the summer camp for the children of migrant workers organized by the Chamber of Commerce. 120 children participate in the summer camp activities in each session. The children have increased their knowledge and broadened their horizons in happiness, and the foreign employees have also loved Xinchangtai more and contributed to the optimization of the business environment. In 2019, Xu Zhixin transferred the company to others and devoted himself more to public welfare. Every year, she dedicates a sum of money to rural volunteer teaching activities.
The stars light up my future ......This is Xu Zhixin's favorite song, and her WeChat nickname "Heart Star Lighting" is here. She hopes that her faint light can bring a little warmth to others.
