Recently, I walked into a small courtyard of a farmhouse in Zengtang Village, Shiniujiang Town, Taojiang County, and saw that the front and back of the house were neat and orderly, the courtyard green plants grew vigorously, the vegetables in the vegetable garden were verdant, and the courtyard that was once full of weeds and firewood scattered has become neat and beautiful.
In recent years, Shiniujiang Town, Taojiang County, has taken the improvement of the rural living environment as an opportunity to fully mobilize the masses to participate in the creation of "beautiful courtyards", continuously optimize the environment, promote the construction of Hemei villages, and gather the "big beauty" of rural revitalization with the "small beauty" of rural courtyards.
A farmer and his wife in Zengtang Village are tidying up vegetable plots and building garden walls in their vegetable garden.
Zengtang Village, Shiniujiang Town, is located at the north gate of the town, which is the back garden of Taojiang County, with the provincial highway S209 passing through the village, and the beautiful Otter River winding around in the west. In accordance with the requirements of the "Six Ones" creation of beautiful courtyards, the two committees of the village branch conscientiously implement the concept of "decision-making and mass conspiracy, development and mass construction, construction and mass management, and mass sharing of achievements", creatively put forward the "five-self model", and actively invested in work and labor, and carried out the creation of beautiful courtyards in the three villager groups of Laowuwan, Anlingping and Zhujiading. At present, 62 large and small vegetable gardens have been built, and 10 "six ones" demonstration vegetable gardens have been improved.
The beautification of the small courtyard has improved the living environment of the villagers, improved the quality of life of the villagers, enhanced the sense of gain and happiness of the farmers, and also led to the improvement of family style and rural style, injecting strong impetus into the sustainable development of Hemei Village.
Adhere to the autonomy of the masses. In order to meet the individual needs of the masses and avoid homogeneous construction, in the early stage, Zengtang Village organized members of the two committees of the village branch, party members, team leaders and representatives of the masses to visit and study Xi in Nanxian County and surrounding towns and towns, and jointly formulated the method of "providing construction materials by the village committee and villagers voluntarily investing in work" for the co-construction and sharing of beautiful courtyards, and designed 12 construction plans for farmers to choose independently.
Emphasis is placed on the self-discussion of the masses. The "two committees" of the village branch held more than 40 housing meetings and symposiums, visited farmers more than 100 times, fully solicited the wishes of the masses, won the support of the masses with the most sincere actions, increased the ideological and emotional identity of the masses, and achieved "everyone matters, everyone discusses, and everyone decides", and guides farmers to voluntarily demolish random construction, remove weeds and debris, and give up vacant land.
Encourage the masses to raise their own funds. Encourage villagers to voluntarily participate in work, and villagers who have the conditions and willingness to raise funds, donate from villagers, and support cooperatives. According to statistics, villagers and social villagers have invested in more than 400 days and raised more than 20 yuan.
Mobilize the masses to build themselves. At the same time, villagers are encouraged to return to their hometowns and villagers to go home to participate in construction.
Explore post-build self-management. Explore the establishment of a normal long-term management and protection mechanism, realize the transformation from "reconstruction and light management" to "equal emphasis on construction and management", ensure that the achievements of the creation of beautiful courtyards are continuously consolidated, and make the village clean, alive and beautiful.
Party building leads the main reason. The two committees of the village branch regard the creation of "beautiful courtyards" as an important starting point for the significant improvement of the rural living environment. Guide the masses to start from themselves, from little by little, from the family, and use the "small beauty" of the farmer to drive the "big beauty" of the countryside.
Mindset shifts are key. Efforts should be made to change the ideological concepts of the masses and turn the villagers' thinking of "wanting me to create" into "I want to create" action. Carry out the activity of "beautiful courtyard creation", establish a "beautiful courtyard demonstration household" evaluation system, find bright spots, solve problems, make up for shortcomings, effectively stimulate the endogenous power of the masses to create, and strive to create a cleaner and more comfortable living environment.
Develop a strong foundation for the economy. The construction of beautiful courtyards has improved the production and living conditions of farmers and laid a solid foundation for the development of courtyard economy. The villagers planted fruit trees, planted vegetables, and cultivated fruit trees in the open space of the beautiful courtyard, and moved cash crops to their homes, so that every inch of land could produce greater economic benefits in making the best use of the land. Although the courtyard is small, the benefits are not small, and the enthusiasm of the villagers to develop the courtyard economy is increasing, which effectively broadens the channels for increasing income, and also drives the development of the rural economy and the construction of beautiful villages.
Mo Chunsheng, a villager, talked about the construction of a beautiful courtyard and was quite touched. His vegetable garden covers a large area, and the layout of the garden has not been planned, so he has always wanted to renovate it, but he is unable to do so because of the large investment. Later, the village cadres came to the door and said that they would carry out the creation of the "six ones" of the beautiful courtyard, and introduced supporting policies. He said: "My son has been away for a long time, there is no labor, it originally cost thousands to hire workers and buy materials, but now there is ** support, the cost is almost halved, not only I have repaired the garden, passers-by can see the scenery when they come and go, it is really good." ”
