Look, the good "prosperity" scene of industry enriching the people
2025-02-26
2025 is the year when the 14th Five Year Plan comes to an end, and it is the last year of the 5-year transition period between consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively connecting with rural revitalization. The key to continuously consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation lies in developing industries and promoting employment; To promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, it is necessary to actively develop industries that enrich the people and broaden channels for increasing farmers' income. Recently, our reporter visited Chongqing, Haikou in Hainan, Yinchuan in Ningxia and other places, recording the good "abundant" rural scenery in the eyes of foreign friends. The government has built roads to the doorstep of villagers, providing opportunities for rural specialties to enter a larger market, "said the studio of the Western International Communication Center in Yubei, Chongqing. Hotpot, skewers... When you think of Chongqing cuisine, what comes to mind In the studio, Alex, a foreign expert and anchor from Chongqing Western International Communication Center, sorted out the script and began recording the program. In 2019, Canadian Alex came to Chongqing for the first time. The bustling street scenery, rich cuisine, and convenient travel experience left a deep impression on him, and he praised the optimism and friendliness of the villagers in Dahe Township, Wuxi County. The villagers there would warmly say 'hello' in English when they see a 'foreign face' like me, "Alex said. Later, Alex stayed in Chongqing to witness and record the story of rural revitalization in Chongqing. "I want to truthfully record the Chongqing in my eyes and break the prejudice against China from the outside world." On June 20, 2022, the Zhengzhou Chongqing high-speed railway was fully operational, and the three counties of Wushan, Fengjie, and Yunyang located in the Three Gorges Reservoir area entered the "high-speed railway era" without railways. I recorded this for the first time at that time. This route crossed through the mountains and was simply a miraculous journey! "Recalling the scene of the visit at that time, Alex's heart was still filled with excitement. From the Zhengzhou Chongqing high-speed railway to the 'Backbasket Special Line', and then to the under construction Chongqing East Station; From highways to high-speed trains, and then to airplanes - the constantly improving transportation network connects Chongqing's rural areas with the whole country and even the world. Specialty products such as Wushan crispy plum, Fengjie navel orange, and Chengkou cured meat have left the local market and boarded high-speed trains and planes to market nationwide and go global. Alex sighed and said, "Roads represent opportunities. The Chinese government has built roads to the doorstep of villagers, giving rural specialties the opportunity to enter a larger market." Not long ago, Alex visited a strawberry orchard in Xinglong Town, Yubei District, and saw the vivid practice of efficient agriculture in Chongqing's mountainous areas. In Chongqing dialect, this is all 'chicken claw land' and 'palm field', "Alex said. The local government actively builds high standard and mechanized farmland, promotes the development of agricultural mechanization, and" technology helps improve farming efficiency, and the local industries for enriching the people have embarked on the path of technology. Since then, Alex has often visited the countryside and picked fruits and vegetables in Xinglong Town, witnessing them creating wealth with their own hands. In the past five years, Alex and his team members have produced nearly a hundred videos introducing Chongqing, many of which were filmed in rural areas, allowing foreign audiences to see another side of Chongqing beyond the "cyberpunk". Many people will comment after watching my video: 'Hey, I also want to go to Chongqing to have a look'. These messages have further strengthened my determination to excel in this career Alex said, "I want to showcase the complete and comprehensive development of rural areas in Chongqing to the world through a series of videos. This approach not only broadens the channels for farmers to become rich, but also helps to inherit traditional culture. It is very practical." Haikou, Hainan, on the banks of the Qiongzhou Strait. This beautiful art makes me intoxicated In the small shop, Xie Min picked up a small piece of coconut shell, dipped it in paint, and carefully outlined it on the coconut shell. Xie Min is from Chicago, USA. She used to be an English teacher and now calls herself a designer and small shop owner. Xie Min's small shop is called "Island Fun" and is located in Baishamen Park, Haikou, Hainan. This is a Li brocade handbag from Wuzhishan City. It is a fabric from Baoting Village, and those few pieces are from Dongfang City. The Li brocade works displayed in the store were made by villagers from various parts of Hainan, and Xie Min is a treasure trove. There are also many cultural and creative products in the store that she personally designed and made, inspired by traditional Li brocade patterns such as fish, turtles, and lightning. In order to learn the production techniques of Li brocade spinning, dyeing, weaving, and embroidery, Xie Min almost traveled throughout Hainan Island and visited many Li villages. During this process, she not only made many friends with Li Jin weavers, but also heard many stories of poverty alleviation and wealth creation through Li Jin. In Yulong Village, Donghe Town, Dongfang City, Xie Min met Fu Xianxiang. Fu Xianxiang initially opened a small shop in the village with limited income. In 2014, a buyer came to her door and spent hundreds of yuan to buy the Li brocade wall hanging she had woven, which inspired her. In 2018, at the suggestion of local poverty alleviation cadre Ji Jiagui, Fu Xianxiang transformed the small shop into a Lijin Workshop Cooperative, specializing in the production and sale of Lijin products. More than 20 women who joined the cooperative were paid by piece, and the more they worked, the more they earned. The Lijin shawl produced by the cooperative can be sold for over 6000 yuan, with an annual income of over 200000 yuan. The order based production model of "company+cooperative+farmer" is becoming increasingly mature. The company places precise orders, cooperatives allocate resources reasonably, and farmers weave silk according to their needs, effectively improving production efficiency. Thanks to a more complete production, purchase, and sales chain, villagers are able to arrange their time reasonably, weaving and farming at the same time, and their enthusiasm for participating in weaving and increasing income is higher. After years of effort, traditional handicraft projects represented by Li Jin have become an important driving force for the economic development of Yulong Village. Opening up the sales channels of Lijin not only broadens the channels for farmers to become prosperous, but also helps to inherit traditional culture. This approach is very practical. Xie Min believes that promoting the industrialization and standardization of traditional handicrafts, activating their "hematopoietic" function, is of great significance for consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and achieving sustainable development of rural industries. Xie Min has been thinking about how to get Li Jin out of the village, and Fu Xianxiang's family is also exploring. Fu Xianxiang used every exhibition and training opportunity to promote products and accumulate customers. Fu Renling, her eldest daughter, turned her attention to the short video platform to build a brand through the Internet. Nowadays, Fu Xianxiang has become a partner of the "Oriental Weaving Mother" brand co creation plan. On December 5, 2024, UNESCO transferred the "Traditional Textile, Dyeing, Weaving and Embroidery Techniques of the Li Ethnic Group" from the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in urgent need of protection to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Upon hearing this news, Xie Min was very excited: "I admire those who create beautiful art, and I also want to contribute to the protection and inheritance of art." She hopes to continue to use her language advantage and "tell the world the story of Li Jin and his wealth behind him. The added value of agricultural products has increased, and employees' income has increased. "Yinchuan, Ningxia, on the eastern foot of Helan Mountain. In my opinion, this is the best wine producing area In the vineyard, Geely, born in Bordeaux, France, proudly said. The Geely family has been engaged in wine making for three generations. 13 years ago, Geely, who was already the son-in-law of Ningxia, came to China and founded the "Ningxia Silver Highland" winery with his wife in Jinshan Village, Helan County, Yinchuan City. Here, he participated in and witnessed the development and changes brought by the wine industry to the local countryside. When I first came here, there were sand and stones everywhere, not even a single tree Geely recalled. Nowadays, local "local specialties" are becoming better and better, and new industries and formats are constantly emerging to promote the improvement and efficiency of rural industries. More than 300 wineries were born at the foot of Helan Mountain, which has become a hot spot for the development of the wine industry. The fate of many people has been changed by the rise of the wine industry, "said Geely. I used to want to buy cream, cheese, and so on, so I had to drive specifically to Yinchuan, but now there are all kinds of restaurants and shops in the village Geely said that the village has paved roads, and the transportation vehicles used by villagers have also been upgraded and replaced. There are more and more new energy vehicles. "The improvement of rural roads is of great significance for the development of rural industries that benefit the people, and it is also a microcosm of the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas in China." Walking into the winery exhibition area, a photo wall comes into view. In the 54 photos, the protagonists stand in front of their own doors, holding farming tools and smiling confidently. They are all farmers working in the winery, and Zhu Zhihe is one of them. Zhu Zhihe is an immigrant from Xihai Gu, who used to make a living by growing vegetables. After coming to the winery, he learned skills such as driving tractors and repairing circuits, and now he has become half a butler of the winery. Geely said, "The employees of the winery are mostly nearby villagers, most of whom immigrated from Xihai Gu and lived in poverty before. Now, they are engaged in planting, brewing and other work in the winery, greatly improving their family's economic situation." "Young people in the village are no longer flocking to big cities in search of job opportunities like in the past. Even many young people who have returned from studying abroad and international talents voluntarily choose to stay here." Geely said that the wine industry has driven the development of upstream and downstream industries such as raw material supply, packaging, logistics, and cultural tourism, attracting many talents to start businesses and develop. In addition to wine, we are constantly expanding the types of wine we make. These two wines are brewed from rice and apples grown by our employees themselves Geely proudly introduced two bottles of wine, saying, "They are very popular in the market, the added value of agricultural products has increased, the income of employees has increased, and the close integration of industry and life has truly been achieved." Watching Jinshan Village become increasingly prosperous and the lives of villagers become more prosperous, Geely sighed that China's comprehensive rural revitalization will definitely achieve agricultural efficiency, rural vitality, and farmers' income. "The Chinese government actively develops rural industries to enrich the people and continues to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation. I believe that China's rural areas will be more prosperous and beautiful in the future
