"We are always grateful to Zhou Libo!" Speaking of Zhou Libo, Zhang Baojin, 81-year-old honorary secretary of the general branch of the party in Yuanbao Village, Yuanbao Town, Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province, could not hide his excitement, "He made Yuanbao Village famous, leaving valuable spiritual wealth and cultural assets to the village." Recently, the hunan daily all-media reporter interviewed Zhang Baojin in Yuanbao Village. In the face of reporters, Zhang Baojin, who has not been interviewed for a long time, is quite kind and enthusiastic, "This is Mr. Libo's hometown people coming." ”

Zhang Baojin said affectionately that more than 70 years ago, zhou Libo's land reform team, of which Zhou Libo was the deputy captain, came to Yuanbao Village, and a storm woke up the sleeping black soil. For more than 70 years, the spirit of those party members and cadres and heroic masses in "The Tempest" has always been an heirloom of the development of Yuanbao Village. Zhou Libo's spirit of taking root in the land and going deep into the people has also been infecting and touching the people of Yuanbao Village for generations.

White mountains and black water, snow for thousands of miles. The Yuanbao Village houses in the waxing moon are like lights. Zhang Baojin told reporters that in 1980, the per capita income of Yuanbao Village was only 42 yuan, and the village's collective debt was 270,000 yuan, which was a "three-rely tun" that "relied on resale for grain, lived on relief, and spent money on loans." With the trust and support of the villagers, he was elected as the secretary of the village party branch. The several "heirlooms" left by the land reform -- believing in the party in everything, relying on the masses in case of trouble, and stressing science in the officials have become his "helmsman". In 1983, taking advantage of the good policy of "package production to households", coupled with scientific farming and the hard work of everyone, grain yields are high and efficient. Riding on the east wind of reform and opening up, he seized the opportunity of development and took the lead in raising funds with 13,000 yuan of savings to lead the villagers to establish a village collective enterprise. Sanitary chopsticks factory, red brick earth kiln, pencil factory... After years of hard work, Yuanbao Village has become a "village of 100 million yuan" and a "pencil town".

Zhang Baojin introduced that since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Yuanbao Village has established the development idea of "fine agriculture, stable industry, and tourism", developed "rice and flower" rice planting, established a professional cooperative for grain planting, built a pencil industrial park, built a brand, and built a memorial hall of "Storm" that integrates sound, light and electricity. In the next step, Yuanbao Village will continue to build a modern agricultural park, support and strengthen cooperatives and agricultural enterprises, continue to build a pencil industrial park, introduce finishing enterprises, build a land reform cultural park, open up a red tourism emerging industry, and call out the brand of "China's first land reform culture village".

Zhang Baojin told reporters that he went to Qingxi Village in 2008 and has been paying attention to the development of Qingxi Village. The industrial integration and development trend of Qingxi Village is good, and this time He Zhishu visited thousands of miles and sent the "Development Classic", which further opened up ideas for the development of Yuanbao Village. The industrial integration of Qingxi Village, especially the development of the cultural tourism industry, provides a lesson for Yuanbao Village. The convenient transportation of Qingxi Village and the tourists from all over the world have also provided new channels for the sale of rice and flowers. The cultural intersection of Qingxi Village and Yuanbao Village also provides the basis for the next step of economic and cultural marriage. Although the two brother villages are thousands of miles apart, they are sincerely working hard for the revitalization of the countryside and have embarked on a new path with characteristics. In the coming year, we must go to Qingxi Village again, study and inspect Qingxi Village in depth, learn from experience, and find more ways to cooperate and communicate. On the road of rural revitalization, the two villages should strengthen friendly exchanges and cooperation and continue to work hand in hand.
