On a winter afternoon, in the Xinqiao Resettlement Community in Laibin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, bursts of laughter came from the home of Liu Yuzhen, a returned overseas Chinese from Indonesia. In the spacious and bright living room, the coffee table is full of Indonesian snacks such as satay pork skewers and nine-layer cakes, and more than ten guests dressed in traditional Indonesian costumes dance with **.
Laibin Xinqiao Resettlement Community is located in Laibin Overseas Chinese Farm. Liu Yuzhen introduced that in 1960, at the age of 9, she and her five siblings returned to China from Indonesia with their parents to work and live in Laibin Overseas Chinese Farm. More than 5,000 returned overseas Chinese from 13 countries and regions including Indonesia, India and Vietnam have been resettled here. In the early years, most people were engaged in agricultural production here, living in brick houses on farms.
Today, across a period of time, Laibin Overseas Chinese Farm has built a modern new city. More than 120 high-rise buildings, an education park consisting of 3 universities and 1 middle school, and a high-tech industrial park have risen here. Among them, the Laibin Xinqiao Resettlement Community was completed in 2016. The community is equipped with basketball courts and libraries, and the local community also recruits overseas Chinese to form volunteer art teams to enrich the cultural life of returned overseas Chinese. The community also has a police office, a government service hall, etc., to actively solve problems for the relatives of returned overseas Chinese.
Speaking of the days in the Xinqiao resettlement community, Liu Yuzhen smiled: "The house is very spacious and there is an elevator. Now, my son and daughter are married, and my grandson is in college. I have a pension and live a comfortable and happy life. ”
Tang Guoqiang, director of Laibin Overseas Chinese Farm, said that thanks to the reform of the operation system of Laibin Overseas Chinese Farm that began in 2010, returned overseas Chinese put down their farm tools and chose to work in the city or start their own businesses. **Provision of living subsidies for returned overseas Chinese, resettlement housing, social endowment insurance, medical insurance and other benefits. At present, more than 90 percent of the returned overseas Chinese from the farm have moved to new homes and moved into high-rise buildings.
Like Liu Yuzhen, Yang Meizhen, a relative of Indonesian expatriates, also lived in a commercial house as a guest. In recent years, she and other returned overseas Chinese and their relatives have choreographed and choreographed Indonesian dances, performed on stage in many places in Guangxi, and have also been invited to perform in Hong Kong, Hainan, Fujian and other places to carry out friendship activities with returned overseas Chinese and their relatives across the country.
We are planning an exotic neighborhood with an area of more than 300 acres, so that the food culture, singing and dancing culture inherited by the returned overseas Chinese and their relatives from generation to generation will become characteristic resources, create more jobs, and let the 'second generation of overseas Chinese' and 'third generation of overseas Chinese' find jobs at their doorstep. Tang Guoqiang said.
Liang Zhaoming, 36 years old this year, is the "third generation of overseas Chinese". In the 60s of the last century, his grandfather and father returned from India to open up land and develop agriculture in the Laibin Overseas Chinese Farm. Now, Liang Zhaoming works in the Laibin Industrial Park, has a stable income, and has bought a small car. The family also lived in a building with an area of 129 square meters and an elevator with the help of the ** resettlement policy.
In the other two overseas Chinese farms in Laibin City, changes are also taking place: Qianjiang Overseas Chinese Farm has implemented industrialization reform in recent years and gradually become the "habitat" of the aluminum industry, with an annual industrial output value of more than 10 billion yuanFenghuang Overseas Chinese Farm is led by characteristic agriculture and built into a national modern agricultural industrial park ......The development and changes of overseas Chinese farms are bringing more benefits to the lives of returned overseas Chinese.
