Zhengzhou, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Three visits to Wang Wancai.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Han Chaoyang.
During the Spring Festival, goodbye Wang Wancai, he was busy preparing for the "Rural Honor List" commendation meeting in Wangzhuang Village, awarding medals to advanced models such as rich experts, good daughters-in-law, and good concubines in the village, and then preparing New Year's red envelopes and daily necessities such as rice, noodles, meat, and oil for the elderly over 80 years old. Although they are not idle during the New Year, Wang Wancai and the village cadres are happier than anyone else.
Walking and stopping along Wangzhuang Village, Tanghe County, Henan Province, Wang Wancai proudly "showed off" the collective economic development of the village. I saw that there were more than 70 greenhouses neatly arranged next to the village road, and after being transferred to enterprises and large households, sweet potato seedlings and vegetable planting were developed; Not far from the Sweet Potato Industry Science and Technology Innovation Park, the research and development of sweet potato seedlings in cooperation with the Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences is progressing smoothly; The e-commerce base in the village sells millions of catties of special agricultural products a year.
The village has also promoted land circulation and established a labor cooperative, with a collective income of nearly 1 million yuan in 2023. From a poor village, to a poverty alleviation village, and then to a rural revitalization demonstration village, thinking about the good momentum of village development, and then thinking back on the changes of the past ten years, Wang Wancai is full of emotion, and his personal destiny is closely linked to this yellow earth.
Wang Wancai, 60 years old this year, was originally a poor household in Wangzhuang Village. Due to the intellectual disability of his son after birth, coupled with the unsatisfactory work and life, Wang Wancai, who was middle-aged, was depressed. drank wine and greedy for glasses, and became a well-known "wine dizzy"; reciting poetry against each other has become a "poetry maniac" who does not do his job.
In those days, in addition to going to the old elm tree to watch the ants on the tree, Wang Wancai was "chanting poems for pairs" on the Internet, writing couplets "to the spring and taking advantage of the wine today, sad white hair and saying that the future will be long", and the horizontal criticism is "getting by".
Four years ago, when I first met Wang Wancai, he was a "poverty alleviation household" who had just been lifted out of poverty, and Wangzhuang Village was a "poverty alleviation village" that had just been lifted out of poverty. Wang Wancai, who was in good spirits, told reporters that planting watermelons, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and grinding tofu ......With the encouragement of everyone, life gradually improved. During the Spring Festival of that year, Wang Wancai's family posted a pair of Spring Festival couplets "Harmonious universal east wind and rain, precise poverty alleviation and old trees in spring", and the horizontal criticism is "gradually getting better".

A year ago, Wang Wancai was met again, and he had already become a party member and a village cadre. The former "wine halo" completely threw away the wine bottle and took on a new burden. To engage in cultural propaganda and seek industrial development, as long as he can, Wang Wancai will rush to do it. "Integration of three industries, cohesion and development; The five stars shine, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new and revitalizing", this is the Spring Festival couplet written by Wang Wancai to the village committee that year.
During the Spring Festival, he visited Wang Wancai three times, and as he grew older, he was refreshed and more pragmatic, chatting about the changes in his own life and talking about the development and changes in the village. From his mouth, the reporter learned that Zhai Chunyan, the 40-year-old village party secretary, gave up her job as a corporate executive and returned to her hometown to lead the villagers to break out of the revitalization road, promote land circulation, adjust the planting model, and build an industrial park; Li Shuqiang, a 45-year-old villager, returned to his hometown to start a business and established a sweet potato planting cooperative, driving the surrounding villagers to plant more than 2,000 acres of sweet potatoes, with annual sales of 3 million catties.

Rural revitalization must do practical and good things, and there are many difficulties without the collective economy. Wang Wancai said that three years ago, the village collective still owed more than 300,000 yuan in foreign debts, and the village cadres were powerless to seek benefits for the villagers. Now there is a good team in the village, breaking out of a new way, and the more you work, the more energetic you are, "I used to work hard for my own family, but now I am fighting for everyone, and the taste is different." ”
During the Spring Festival this year, Wang Wancai did not write Spring Festival couplets again, and he and his fellow villagers had already written the "Spring Festival couplets" on the loess land.
