Monday, October 11 Light rain
In the cold dew season, the autumn wind gradually rises, and the coolness strikes people, but our hearts are warm, only because Shazhou Village has one more friend - Eighteen Caves Village.
Today, the party members and cadres of the two committees of the eighteen-hole village came to our Shazhou village for inspection and investigation, and concluded a "friendly brother village" with us.
Located in the hinterland of China's Wuling Mountains, Eighteen Caves Village is a poor Village inhabited by the Miao ethnic group hidden in a remote and secluded valley. In the past, due to poor infrastructure and closed and backward, women from other villages were reluctant to marry in, and there were few strange faces in the village. By 2013, the incidence of poverty in the village was as high as 57%, and the collective economy was blank. On November 3, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping first put forward an important exposition on "precision poverty alleviation" during his inspection of the Eighteen-Hole Village in Xiangxi, Hunan Province. After 7 years of efforts, the incidence of poverty in 18-dong village has dropped to "0", and all poor people have been lifted out of poverty.
Eighteen-hole villages and Shazhou villages have left the footprints of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and they are both "net red villages" in the country.
The eighteen-hole village research group went to shazhou village "The Warmth of Half a Quilt" special exhibition hall, the former site where the "Half Quilt" story took place, and other places to listen to one touching revolutionary story after another, and to feel the fish and water conditions of the CPC and the people in the same boat, life and death, and blood and blood.
After that, our two villages signed a friendship village cooperation agreement. In the future, the two villages will further promote exchanges, exchanges and integration, work together to explore and share experience in consolidating poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and carry out publicity and promotion to each other. At the symposium on the signing ceremony of the friendship, the representatives of the Eighteen-Hole Village and the representatives of Shazhou Village exchanged gifts, and the Eighteen-Hole Village brought gifts with strong local characteristics, golden tea, and Shazhou Village returned the "Half Quilt" brand cultural and creative products. The leaders of Eighteen-Hole Village also warmly issued an invitation to Visit Shazhou Village.
"Just now, we have jointly witnessed the conclusion of a 'friendly brotherly village' between Shazhou Village and Eighteen-Hole Village, the speeches of the leaders of the two places have given expectations for the future development of the two villages, the two villages have many common points and similarities, they are all places that the general secretary has inspected and cared about, both were once poor villages and successfully entered a well-off life, both ushered in great development opportunities and earth-shaking development changes, and the two villages deserve mutual exchanges, mutual learning, mutual encouragement, and mutual promotion in rural revitalization and cultural tourism!" Comrade Long Yuan, member of the Standing Committee of the Rucheng County CPC Committee and director of the Propaganda Department, said at the meeting.
Today, the two villages have a dream, and the two regions have forged a friendship and become a "friendly brotherly village", hoping that the two places will continue to deepen friendship and cooperation, learn from each other's strong points, work together, and help each other, so that the flower of friendship between the two places will always bloom!
