In the northwest corner of the motherland, in the northeast of Karamay, an important oil town, Wuerhe Town, which is famous for being a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot and a world devil city, is located here.
In recent years, Wuerhe Town has continuously deepened the reform of the rural homestead system, a tourist town has gradually risen, the countryside that has been silent for many years has begun to glow with vitality and vitality, and the rural landscape has undergone great changes, exploring a way to revitalize rural land resources, promote farmers to get rich and increase income, and strengthen the village collective economy, and take the lead in creating a model of rural revitalization, which provides a reference experience for Xinjiang and even the northwest region to deepen the reform of the rural homestead system.
104 finger prints.
On November 1, 2023, the Wuzhen project in western Wuerhe was selected into the 4th Global Poverty Alleviation Case List. How can a western village achieve such results? It all started with a joint initiative.
The picture shows a scene of the "Western Wuzhen" project. (Details**).
Wuerhe Town, Wuerhe District, Karamay City, has jurisdiction over two administrative villages: Cha Ha Cao Village and Hake Village. In the office drawer of Wu Lan, secretary of the party branch of Cha Ha Cao Village, there is still a copy of the joint proposal with fingerprints on it.
The proposal, dated April 13, 2020, was addressed to the Party branches of the two villages and the Party Committee of Wuerhe Town, and expressed the common wish of the 104 villagers to hand over their homesteads to the village collective for unified planning and to turn them into "rose garden" homestays to receive tourists and increase income.
"Rose Garden" is a local model homestay, which achieved a revenue of 1.92 million yuan and a profit of 700,000 yuan in just one year. The beneficial attempt to "hand over the farmhouse courtyard to the village committee to build a characteristic homestay" is like a pebble thrown into a pool of stagnant water, which stirs up waves and activates the hearts of the villagers.
Over the years, with the continuous transfer of agricultural population to urban areas, the hollowing out of the two villages has deepened, a large number of homesteads have been idle, and the efficiency of land resource utilization has been low. The development of Wuerhe Town has entered a bottleneck period.
At the same time, opportunities are just around the corner. The era of mass tourism has brought new opportunities and strong impetus to Xinjiang's tourism market, and it is also a window period for Wuerhe's rural revitalization.
Wuerhe is located in the center of the northern Xinjiang tourism line, north to Altay, south to Yili, west out of Tacheng, east to Urumqi, here is the only way. Tourists flock to the city, but tourists can't stay or stay in the peak tourist season, and the "transit tour" has a limited role in driving local economic development.
The surrounding tourism resources are very rich, and only one scenic spot in the world's devil's city receives 2 million tourists every year. Wang Weifeng, member of the Standing Committee of the Wuerhe District Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, said, but the reality is that there is a serious shortage of tourism services in Wuerhe District, with less than 200 hotel beds, and it is difficult to find a bed in the tourist season.
Although at this time the per capita net income has reached 280,000 yuan, but in the face of this joint initiative and the urgent desire of the villagers to increase their income and get rich, a new topic and even a challenge is placed in front of the party organizations at all levels. Or seize the opportunity to integrate into the new development pattern and step to a new level?
List of 400 questions.
Since we have to do it, we must not only do it for the 104 villagers who jointly initiated the initiative, but let all the villagers in the two villages achieve common prosperity.
The "Western Wuzhen" cultural tourism industry project came into being. "Western Wuzhen" means "Wuerhe Town located in the western part of the motherland", and it is necessary to build a complex integrating tourism homestays, folk culture, leisure agriculture, and characteristic breeding, so that the beautiful countryside can be integrated into the new development pattern and farmers and herdsmen can achieve common prosperity.
In accordance with the principles of law, voluntariness and compensation, the project divides the "three rights" of farmers' homesteads: under the premise of "the identity of farmers and herdsmen, the qualification rights of homesteads remain unchanged, and the right to collective income distribution remains unchanged", the villagers apply to the village committee on a household basis, and hand over the homestead use right and the attachments on the homestead to the village committee after valuation. The village committee will integrate the homestead land and transfer it to a third-party district urban investment company for unified planning, construction, and operation. According to the agreement, the investor will pay the project income to the villagers every year in the course of operation. After 20 years of continuous operation, the homestead and the structures on it are still owned by the villagers.
If the project is there, is it risky? Do you want to get involved? Some of the villagers are expecting, some are waiting, and some are not understanding.
One does not fall! Be clear and thorough! It can't be understood simply, it must be understood comprehensively! On the road to common prosperity, no one is missing. Tubuxin, the mayor of Wuerhe Town, said.
The Party Committee, the village-based work team, and the village committee of Wuerhe Town jointly formed a propaganda group to answer questions and clarify doubts for the publicity of the "Western Wuzhen" project from door to door. Cadres at all levels also went to villages and households to mobilize "married households" to actively participate in the "Western Wuzhen" project.
His voice was smoking, and his eyes were sour. Liu Chunfang, a cadre who once stayed in Chahacao Village, said, "As long as the masses get benefits, I will be happy to say it many times." They think it's good, that's really good. ”
From market research to project planning, from investment promotion to risk research and judgment, cadres at all levels are problem-oriented, carefully sort out the concerns of the masses, and sort out a list of more than 400 questions. Follow the list to find the answer, carefully scrutinize from the aspects of laws and regulations, feasibility demonstration, etc., to find a path that benefits the villagers and is low-risk.
On the basis of the in-depth implementation of the deployment of "five-level secretaries to grasp rural revitalization", Wuerhe District has set up a rural revitalization working group and a special class for rural revitalization at the town and village levels, and party members at the front line have set up work commandos, and party organizations at all levels have formed a joint force to help the masses solve various problems such as asset evaluation, income budgeting, policy interpretation, housewarming, new home decoration, and conflict resolution.
Gong Shaopeng, the deputy mayor of Wuerhe Township, also had an objection. "The newly renovated house is forgivable for being reluctant to demolish it. Gong Shaopeng said, but he is "reluctant" at the moment, and there is no room for increasing income in the future. Gong Shaopeng helped to carefully analyze the accounts, and Dorji Tolgen's school-going children also did his work. "It's too far to go to school, especially in winter", "I want to live in a building with heating", ......Faced with the children's demands and the high income in the future, Dorji Tolgen's family decided to participate in the "Western Wuzhen" project.
The problem of whether to move or not is solved, and then the problem of asset valuation is followed. In strict accordance with laws and regulations, the village collectives dismissed 35 households that illegally occupied homesteads in accordance with the law, and readjusted and divided the town's homesteads in accordance with the highest standard of 1,600 square meters, solved the problem that 42 eligible farmers could not be allocated homesteads for a long time, and completed the confirmation and issuance of certificates. This measure has solved many problems left over from history, safeguarded fairness and justice, and won the support and praise of the masses.
The situation of each household is different, and we have formulated and issued more than 10 relevant policy documents around the identification of homestead farmers' qualification rights, regulatory approval, circulation income, withdrawal and recovery, etc., and there are 21 kinds of agreements alone. Gong Shaopeng said.
In May 2020, 367 villagers officially became shareholders of the "Western Wuzhen" project, with a contract rate of 985%。
In order to properly solve the worries of the farmers participating in the project and ensure that they can move out, live well and stay stable, according to the demands of the masses, three ways are provided for farmers to choose from: self-resettlement, housing purchase resettlement and pension resettlement.
In Fengxiang Community, located in Wuerhecheng District, orange buildings are neatly arranged. Fengxiang community is given a subsidy of 30,000 yuan per household by the district, and unified decoration is implemented, and indoor kitchenware and other facilities are installed. Like Dorji Tolgen, more than 300 villagers have left their coal-burning bungalows and moved into spacious and bright new buildings, enjoying a modern life with water, electricity, heating and internet access.
With the resettlement of the participating farmers in place, on June 1, 2020, the total investment was 20The "Western Wuzhen" project, which covers an area of 900 million yuan, covers an area of 1.5 million square meters and a construction area of 270,000 square meters, broke ground.
The "Wuzhen in the West" project has greatly changed the ecological environment of the two villages, fully realized the separation of people and livestock, comprehensively improved the rural public infrastructure, realized the integration of water, electricity, gas, heating and telecommunications, and realized the integration of urban and rural areas, with full coverage of water flushing toilets and hardened roads.
The 'Western Wuzhen' project is based on adhering to the 'three constants', so that the masses can become the ultimate beneficiaries. Wu Lan, secretary of the party branch of Cha Ha Cao Village, said.
42,294 yuan per capita net income.
Every night before fall, 55-year-old Anibal Idrés lights a bonfire in the square in front of Eight Horses Bar Street. With the sound of **, tourists and villagers will gather here to sing and dance.
Climb the 30-meter sightseeing tower, the whole view of "Western Wuzhen" is in full view, the B&B groups with different architectural styles are lined up one after another, and the colorful performing arts tent stands **, and the small canal that divides the two villages has become a colorful eight-horse bar street.
At present, Xinjiang has entered the winter tourism season, and the Xinjiang Homestay and Self-driving Caravan Camp Construction Promotion Conference was also held in "Western Wuzhen", attracting tourists from all over the world to stop here. At present, relying on the "Western Wuzhen" project, the number of tourists received in Wuerhe District has exceeded 6 million, driving the actual tourism income of state-owned enterprises in Wuerhe District to about 1300 million yuan.
While stimulating state-owned enterprises to achieve profits, the "Western Wuzhen" project has also fully stimulated the vitality of the collective economic development of the village.
Chahay Village and Hake Village respectively set up village collective economic cooperatives with all the villagers as shareholders. The two village collective economic cooperatives also invested in the establishment of companies. After the completion of the Wuzhen project in western China, it will directly provide more than 3,000 jobs and indirectly drive the employment of nearly 10,000 people in the planting, animal husbandry, agricultural product processing, construction and tourism industries.
The interest linkage mechanism of Western Wuzhen allows villagers to not only have direct property benefits, but also indirect benefits from participation, and realize internal circulation. Gong Shaopeng introduced that with the establishment and operation of village collective enterprises such as Western Cultural Tourism, Fengcheng Animal Husbandry, and Eight Horses Property Garden, the hematopoietic capacity of the village collective economy has been continuously improved, and the goal of villagers holding shares and dividends for collective operating assets and increasing dividends every year has been achieved.
In 2017, the collective income of the two villages was only about 600,000 yuan, and by 2022, it has exceeded more than 100 million yuan.
With the capitalization and marketization of farmers' homestead rights, "dead assets" have become "living capital", which has increased farmers' property income and promoted the development of new rural business forms. In 2023, the per capita net income of the villagers in the two villages will reach 42,294 yuan. Nowadays, a new pattern of urban and rural development in which idyllic villages and modern towns complement each other has gradually taken shape, attracting more and more young people to return to their hometowns for employment and entrepreneurship.
Aniwal Idres's daughter, Gulhumar Aniwal, graduated from university in June this year, and with her understanding of the development plan of Wuerhe District, she has become more confident in the future of her hometown, and she has taken a job in Yangzhou Guild Hall and become a member of the "Western Wuzhen" project.
Every year when I come back from vacation, I can see the changes in my hometown, and the Yangzhou Hall where I work now is the location of my old yard. As one of the young people who have returned to their hometowns, Gulhumar said, "You can earn 5,000 yuan at your doorstep, so why not come back?" Gulhumar and his family of three are all employed in the "Western Wuzhen" project, and the family's salary income alone has reached more than 12,000 yuan.
Relying on the 5A-level scenic spot World Devil City, Wuerhe District has built the largest RV campground park, 1,000 acres of begonia forest, dinosaur cultural garden, and film and television city in Northwest China, forming a global tourism pattern integrating health care, self-driving, and leisure.
The "Western Wuzhen" project actively explores the ways and methods to appropriately revitalize the homestead and farmers' housing use rights, activates the rural homestead market, promotes the revitalization of rural industries, broadens the channels for farmers to increase income, promotes the integrated development of urban and rural areas, accelerates the urbanization process, consolidates the foundation for common prosperity, and also provides a model and experience that can be replicated and promoted by various localities.
