The village road forms a ring, the villas are connected into a piece, the greenhouses are built on the mountainside, the village is made to earn money, and the terraced fields are beautiful "out of the circle", showing the vivid animation of the great changes in the mountain township everywhere.
In Hequ County, located in the northwest of Shanxi Province, because of a capable person, a small mountain village that was originally remote and poor has achieved a gorgeous turn, and has become a well-off village and Internet celebrity village suitable for living, working and traveling, which has attracted reports from all walks of life and has received wide attention from all walks of life.
This person's name is Zhang Futian, and this village is called Yuling. What kind of capable person is Zhang Futian?Why has Yuling Village changed so much?In the middle of winter, the reporter came to this village that created miracles on the Loess Plateau and felt the practices and changes here.
When I entered the village, I suddenly opened up. "The people's yearning for a better life is our goal" and the slogans of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" are particularly eye-catching. Two-storey villas, with white walls and gray tiles, stand neatly. On the hillside, rows of energy-saving greenhouses are lined up, and they are inlaid between the beams. From afar, layers of terraced rice fields outline the unique "gorgeous ripples" ...... of the Yellow River BasinI didn't have time to think about it, and the beauty of Yuling Village drunk us.
Yuling Licun is located in Tugou Township, Hequ County, with 397 people in the village, 109 permanent residents, 3,433 acres of cultivated land and 7,058 acres of woodland. If you turn the clock back to 15 years ago, the village was just a remote mountain village with high mountains and long roads, thin fields, fragile ecology, and clanging poverty. Due to the long-term dependence on the sky for food, the appearance of the village is dilapidated, and public services are lagging behind, and some people describe it, "This is a place where rabbits don't poop."
The great changes in the poor Yuling Village began when Zhang Futian, who waited for him to return to the village.
In 2008, the township party committee mobilized Zhang Futian, a private entrepreneur born and raised in the village, to return to the village to benefit his hometown. "The people of my hometown raised me, and I can't forget my fellow villagers when I am rich. Zhang Futian, who started by transporting and selling coal abroad, resolutely returned to the village to take on the heavy burden of branch secretary and director of the village committee.
After that, no one expected that with a deep affection for his hometown and the courage of "daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky", he personally invested a total of 1600 million yuan to renovate the village.
It was difficult to get water in the village, so Zhang Futian found someone to dig a deep well, but 540 meters was not enough, and the water did not come out until 600 meters. Three reservoirs were built from high to low to facilitate the villagers' access to water.
It is difficult to travel in the village, so Zhang Futian first hardened 12 kilometers of the road through the village, and later built an 8-kilometer-long secondary tourist road to directly lead to the highway. It is no longer a matter for people in the village to enter the city and go out.
The cave in the village was broken, Zhang Futian simply demolished it, and asked someone to design and build 48 sets of Hui-style villas, which were distributed to the villagers for free, and the water, electricity, heating, wire, and network were all connected, and the villagers still didn't have to spend a penny.
The public facilities in the village could not keep up, so Zhang Futian invested in the construction of the village theater, cultural square, and village archwayA comprehensive building has been built that integrates health centers, nursing homes, schools, cultural stations, libraries, red and white councils, and the offices of the village "two committees".
The ecological environment in the village is poor, Zhang Futian vigorously promoted the comprehensive management of the ditch area with the help of relevant projects, and implemented afforestation of 4,000 acres in shallow mountainous areasA 20-square-kilometre small watershed management and water conservation project has been implemented.
There is no leading industry in the village, and the villagers have no income, Zhang Futian took the lead in building a high-standard demonstration ecological tourism agricultural park, and founded the development of Fenghe ecological agriculture in Hequ County, leading everyone to engage in transportation and planting, driving the per capita annual income of villagers to increase by 30 times in 15 years.
After 15 years of continuous transformation, Yuling Licun is still the village on the beam of the mountain, but the artistic conception of the whole village is full of poetry and painting, and the improvement of the completeness of the village's infrastructure, the convenience of public services, and the comfort of the living environment is a fact that anyone can see today.
Zhang Mingshi, a 56-year-old villager, whose family was crammed into a broken kiln 13 years ago, now lives in a 160-square-meter villa, and the furnishings at home are no different from those in the city. Zhang Mingshi, who waved goodbye to the past with one hand and held happiness with the other, said: "Every small villa, running water in every household, central heating in winter, and money can be made without leaving the village, these good things have been realized without thinking about it, this is earth-shaking!."”
The implementation of rural revitalization and the construction of livable, workable and beautiful villages are based on industry, potential and hope in industry.
In the process of developing and expanding the collective economy, Yuling Village, led by Zhang Futian, insists on taking the development of high-quality agriculture as an important driving force for the revitalization of the countryside.
In the past, the villagers had been engaged in traditional farming for generations, relying on the weather for food, and they could never get out of the vicious circle of poverty. Now the village is still doing agriculture, but it is staring at the market to do agriculture, taking advantage of geographical advantages to do agriculture, changing the "short board" to the "long board", the "short chain" to the "long chain", and the "low end" to the "high-end".
With an altitude of 1,400 meters, Yuling Licun has sufficient sunshine, short frost-free period, large temperature difference between day and night, surrounded by mountains, and no factory pollution, which is especially suitable for the development of organic ecological agriculture. According to local conditions, Zhang Futian led the village party branch to set up an agricultural development research center, relying on Fenghe Company to build 69 low-depression high-standard solar greenhouses, actively cooperating with agricultural science institutes inside and outside the province to introduce technology, setting up a curve retention mechanism to introduce talents, and vigorously developing organic high-end fruits and vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, watermelons, and nectarinesIt has built a demonstration park covering an area of 2,000 acres of sea red fruit characteristic industryMobilized villagers to form four professional cooperatives such as planting and afforestation;With the format of "company + cooperative + base + farmer", more than 1,500 jobs have been created.
On the morning of December 1, the reporter walked into the No. 9 shed of the organic watermelon planting area of Fenghe Company, and Shen Dongfang, a technician from a professional class, was busy checking the growth of hanging vine watermelons. "Our watermelons here grow all year round, in strict accordance with organic planting procedures, one shed 1 acre, the yield is about 4,000 kilograms in winter, and more than 5,000 kilograms in summer. Wang Lei, the head of the Fenghe Company's farm, who accompanied the reporter, proudly said that the price of watermelon is 80 yuan per kilogram, and it is packaged with other organic agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables, miscellaneous grains, etc., all of which are directly supplied to the company's "hardcore" members in the form of cold chain distribution. The vast majority of members are located in Beijing, Taiyuan and other places, and a single member has an annual membership fee of 30,000 yuan.
Do not change the bull's-eye, the combination of traditional agriculture and modern agriculture, adhere to the road of scale, ecology and branding, with high technology, high quality, high yield to high efficiency, after more than 10 years of continuous chain, supplement chain, strong chain, surrounded by mountains Yuling Li Village has grown green certified melons, fruits and vegetables, to create a set of ecological breeding, organic fertilizer production, organic planting, organic agricultural products deep processing in one of the organic ecological cycle industry development chain, incarnate a greenhouse full of slopes, melon fragrance and fruit sweet, barren mountains covered with green, A vibrant agricultural village and a beautiful countryside.
At the same time, the village has established the path of "company management + collective integration" to revitalize the village by exploring cooperation models such as "enterprise leading + revitalizing the three capitals" and "enterprise + agricultural company + village-level economic organization". In 2022, the village's collective economic income will be 114660,000 yuan, and the per capita income of the villagers reached 960,000 yuan.
The reason why Yuling Li Village is so famous is that Zhang Futian gave "welfare villas" to each villager. If it is said that the unimaginable villa has given the villagers a starting point for a qualitative change of happiness, then the villagers who are spiritually rich today have the most personal feeling that there is no end to "good days", and "getting better and better" must be ahead.
Every morning at 7 o'clock, Zhang Ruying, a 60-year-old villager, will come to Fenghe's organic vegetable planting area to "go to work" on time. Zhang Ruying, who has mastered professional skills through training, has a monthly salary of 3,600 yuan, plus land transfer fees and his wife Zhang Linxiao working in the village, and the family's annual income is nearly 100,000 yuan. "The whole village can't say that Zhang Futian is bad at all, and always feels that life is getting more and more comfortable. The real Zhang Ruying said.
Zhang Erwei, a 72-year-old villager, never dreamed that the village would eat three meals a day. And such a "good thing" was realized at the end of March this year, and the elderly over 70 years old in the village enjoyed this benefit. The initiator of this idea is still Zhang Futian, who has always advocated filial piety and respect for the elderly.
On December 1, the sun was shining, and at 12:20 p.m., the reporter walked into the village's "Happy Pension Restaurant" and saw that in a clean and hygienic environment, the old people were radiant and self-catering and chatting happily. Zhang Erwei, who was sitting next to the reporter, said tremblingly: "I have never heard of such a good village again, and I am really blessed." ”
In Yuling Village, such happiness is not only said in the mouth, but also in the heart, but also permeated in the streets and alleys.
In recent years, Zhang Futian, who is "in charge of the family" in the village, and a group of people from the "two committees" of the village, have also taken the construction of good governance order in the countryside as an effective carrier for the construction of a harmonious and beautiful village, advocating a new style of civilization and stimulating the vitality of the countryside.
The village has set up a grid and a micro-grid according to the production and living areas, and there are urgent things to respond to, difficult things to help each other, and there are troubles to resolve in a timely manner, through the implementation of grid and fine management, the village has no contradictions and disputes, and no petitioning incidents have occurred for 14 consecutive yearsGiving full play to the role of "one appointment and four meetings", the village selected "ten-star civilized households" and "ten-star civilized demonstration households";Set up a "filial piety list" to publicize children's filial piety to their parents, and create a strong atmosphere of unity and progress, filial piety and love for relatives, harmony and civilization.
What seeds are sown, what flowers are blooming.
In recent years, Yuling Licun has successively won the title of Xinzhou Civilized Village, National Democratic Rule of Law Demonstration Village, and the Most Beautiful Tourism Village in Shanxi and Shanxi Rural Tourism Demonstration Village. Promoting high-quality and efficient agriculture, livable and workable villages, and prosperous villagers, Yulin Li Village has written a beautiful legend on the loess plateau.
Some people say that rural life is industry, and rural revitalization is ordinary living and working in peace and contentment. In Yuling Village, the reporter saw the extraordinary "peaceful living" and "happy work", saw the happiness of the villagers that could not be concealed, and saw the hope of rural development.

The top of the mountain, the pearl is inscribed.
Where there is no hope, Yulin Licun has created hope. Sorting out the reasons for the great changes in the village, activating rural elements, gathering development wisdom, anchoring "special" and "excellent" agriculture, lengthening the industrial chain, and transforming the ecological environment all play a specific role, but the core is the "head goose effect".
It is precisely because of Zhang Futian, a special villager who cares about Sangzi, that Yuling Village's handwriting is particularly amazing, the concept is extraordinarily lofty, and the development is good and fast. The success of Yuling Li Village may not be replicated, but it is very exemplary and leaves us with a lot of practical thinking.
