Dazhai or Xiaogang? Who are you a good role model?
Although in the long river of history, the years are not lived, and the seasons are like flowing, but each era has its own unique imprint and style, and the people of each era have their own ideals and beliefs, and have their own pursuits and responsibilities.
Everyone also has their own bottom line and values, which are the cornerstone of their life, and their beliefs and principles will not change no matter how the world changes.
Dazhai Village in Xiyang County was once a small mountain village that was restricted by natural conditions and economically backward. However, under the leadership of *** and Guo Fenglian, the people of Dazhai have strengthened their determination to change their fate.
They organized themselves and worked hard to finally bring about earth-shaking changes in this former poor mountain village.
Since 53 years, Comrade ***, the secretary of the branch, has always adhered to the spirit of "enduring hardships in the front and enjoying in the back", taking the lead in doing dirty work, hard work, tiring work, and dangerous work.
He leads by example, and in everything he does, he becomes a role model for the villagers and sets the best example. Under his leadership, the villagers spent ten years on the "seven ditches, eight beams and one slope" to create a piece of high-yield, stable and fertile land with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu.
Terraced rice fields are connected to the blue sky, and the green crops and fruit trees form a beautiful picture.
In 1963, Dazhai suffered a devastating natural disaster, torrential rains, flash floods, fields were washed away, houses collapsed, caves washed away, ......The disaster is severe, and the people's lives are extremely difficult.
After ten years of hard work, everything was in vain and everything was ruined.
Under the leadership of Comrade ***, the people have been tenacious, united, and fearless of difficulties and obstacles, and actively carried out self-help and arduous struggle to rebuild their homes. Their spirit of self-improvement made Dazhai successfully stand up and stand tall in that year; At the same time, the glorious banner of the spirit of Dazhai is flying high all over the country.
In the past 60s and 70s, hard work and self-reliance were our creed, and we were determined to overcome all difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, to strive for the first, to forge ahead in unity, to be vigorous, to be enthusiastic, and to be full of sincerity.
** Advocating our agriculture Dazhai, industrial Daqing, the people of the whole country to learn the spirit of the People's Liberation Army, inspired generation after generation of party members and cadres and the people of that era.
We think in one place, work hard in one place, twist into a rope, regardless of personal grievances, gains and losses, tenacious struggle, selfless dedication, and create one after another great miracles of the world, which will forever be recorded in history and will never be erased.
Located in the northeast of Anhui Province, Fengyang Xiaogang Village is blessed with rich resources due to its fertile land and beautiful scenery. There is a profound Huaihe culture, which gave birth to a generation of peasant emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
Today, Xiaogang Village has become the representative of Fengyang, with an area of 1450,000 acres, with more than 3 acres of fertile land per capita. In the past, Xiaogang Village belonged to Liyuan Commune in Fengyang County, Anhui Province, and was the poorest production team in this commune.
However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiaogang people have never handed over public grain to the state or sold surplus grain. On the contrary, since the 60s, the people of the Xiaogang production team have begun to go out to beg for food, sing flower drum operas and beg.
Despite the difficulties they have experienced, the people of Xiaogang Village have never given up. With their hard work and wisdom, they constantly strive to improve living conditions and create a unique farming community.
Today's Xiaogang Village is not only the pride of Fengyang, but also a role model for the whole of China.
Xiaogang Village in Anhui Province was hit hard by a once-in-a-century drought. The farmland is cracked, the land is barren, and the peasants go out to beg. In that era when "it was not allowed to contract production to every household and it was not allowed to divide the land and work alone," the peasants' enthusiasm was seriously dampened, and they could only earn 100 catties of grain a year.
Xiaogang people know that if they want to eat well, they must divide the fields and work alone. So, on a winter night in 1978, 18 farmers swore an alliance in a dilapidated thatched hut, signed a "secret agreement", and pressed bright red handprints.
They promised that if they were capable, each household would guarantee to complete the annual payment of public grain for each household, and would no longer ask the state for money and grain. If not, the cadres are willing to go to jail and be killed, and the villagers will promise to feed their children until they are 18 years old.
This was the beginning of the great changes in the mountain towns and the starting point of China's reform and opening up.
This precious "contract of life and death" is a symbol of China's reform and opening up, and it is now in the collection of the National Museum. According to experts, in 1979, after the Xiaogang production team implemented the "big package," it achieved a remarkable bumper harvest, and the total grain output was equivalent to the total output from 1955 to 1970.
This red handprint contract gave birth to the household responsibility system, which eventually became the basic management system in China's rural areas. This system has completely broken the people's commune system of "one large and two publics," unleashed the rural productive forces, enabled China's agricultural development to surpass the long-term shortage, and solved the problem of food and clothing for the peasants.
Yan Jinchang's family is a first-hand witness to this change. Their family has a total of 6 children and 8 people, and the fertile land allocated to them has reached more than 35 acres. Yan Jinchang said proudly: "In the first year of the division of the fields, our family solved the problem of food and clothing, the problem of eating for adults was solved, and we also harvested a large amount of rice, soybeans and peanuts.
So much so that our thatched huts were filled to the brim, and peanuts could only be piled up in the yard. ”
After the implementation of the policy of "taking care of the work to the household and dividing the fields into separate fields", the Xiaogang people quickly solved the problem of food and clothing and successfully got rid of the state's relief grain. This shows the awakening effect of reform on the land.
In the first year alone, the total grain output of Xiaogang Village was equivalent to the sum of 15 years from 1955 to 1970, which was an unprecedented bumper harvest. The peasants' incomes and living standards have improved markedly.
The success of Xiaogang Village has attracted a lot of investment, established many scenic spots, and has become a reform and innovative tourist attraction that integrates red classic education, rural leisure experience, rural sightseeing and folk customs experience.
This series of achievements fully demonstrates the innovative spirit and entrepreneurial enthusiasm of Xiaogang people, and also provides valuable experience and inspiration for the reform of other regions.
In April 2022, Xiaogang Village held a centralized groundbreaking ceremony for key projects for rural revitalization demonstration and creation, and 12 key projects with a total investment of 3.5 billion yuan were started.
These projects cover many fields such as smart agriculture, healthy food, rural tourism, education and training, and infrastructure, and are key steps for Xiaogang Village to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and the integrated development of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries.
Li Jinzhu said that under the guidance of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xiaogang Village will continue to strengthen grain production, further expand rural characteristic industries, and deeply tap the potential of the combination of agriculture and tourism, and strive to lead the villagers to increase their income and become rich, and make greater contributions to the realization of agricultural modernization.
At that time, there were 18 croppers who "risked their lives" to do "big packages", and now only 10 are left, and most of them are over the age of old. Yan Jinchang is one of them, he sits in front of his "Jinchang Restaurant", recalling the thrilling times of the past, his eyes flashing.
Today, he is nearly 80 years old, but he is still in good spirits, and his "Jinchang Restaurant" earns more than 100,000 yuan a year. In his early years, he transferred all the more than 35 acres of land that he had taken the risk to share that year, and "started a business" with his children again, founded farmhouses, supermarkets, and developed rural tourism.
With the changes of the times, Xiaogang people find that the reform will not be once and for all, and we must continue to inherit and carry forward the Xiaogang spirit of "reform and innovation, dare to be the first", and overcome difficulties and obstacles in the face of new changes and new problems.
Xiaogang Village has taken the lead in Anhui Province in carrying out the reform of rural taxes and fees, the pilot project of land ownership confirmation registration and issuance of certificates, the reform of the cooperative system of collective assets and shares, and the reform of the "three changes" -- turning resources into assets, capital into shares, and farmers into shareholders, so that the villagers can change from "every household to contract land" to realize "everyone holds shares" in the village collective assets.
These reform measures have not only brought earth-shaking changes to Xiaogang Village, but also continuously improved the living standards of the villagers.
With the deepening of the reform and the expansion of the scope of cooperation, the collective economy of Xiaogang Village has been expanding, and the income has been rising like sesame flowers. From 2016 to 2020, the per capita disposable income of Xiaogang villagers increased from 16,169 yuan to 27,600 yuan, and the village's collective economic income increased from 6.8 million yuan to 11.6 million yuan.
This is all because the "big package" reform has liberated the productive forces and set off a wave of reform. Yan Yushan, the son of Yan Hongchang, the leader of the "big package", is also the deputy secretary of the Xiaogang Village Party Committee.
After working hard outside for many years, he quit his lucrative job in 2014 and devoted himself to the development of his hometown, becoming an active promoter of the reform and development of Xiaogang Village.
Practice has proved that people in any era are more important than science and technology, and they are the real primary productive forces. Without people's enthusiasm, gnawing, enthusiasm and creativity, scientific and technological means such as improved seeds, fertilizers, and fertile fields will not be able to play a role, and will only return to zero.
Only by being flexible and enterprising can we create hope and achieve a bumper harvest.
