"The Struggle History of a Villager Group Leader"
Author: Liu Yishan
Jiayu County, Hubei Province, got its name from the Book of Poetry · Xiao Ya's "South Has Jia Fish", which means that there are delicious fish in the south. Out of Wuhan to the southeast about 1 hour, that is, to Jiayu County Yuyue Town, Yuyue Town less than 5 kilometers south, there is a village, the whole village 67 households, more than 240 people, called Guanqiao Town Guanqiao Village Eighth Villager Group.
The villagers' group is the smallest grassroots unit in China at present, and the eighth group of Guanqiao is known as the first group of Jingchu, which is a beautiful town with a reputation at home and abroad. Zhou Baosheng, the leader of the eight groups of Guanqiao, is a legendary figure who led the villagers to ride on the spring breeze of reform and opening up, worked hard, founded a number of high-tech enterprises and a private university, and turned a barren mountain village into a European and American style town.
Who would have thought that before the reform and opening up of 1978, it was poor and poor, and the members of the community lived in dilapidated houses, ate resold grain, wore tunic clothes, and only 9 cents per working day. In the autumn of 1978, Zhou Baosheng, a young intellectual who returned to his hometown, gave up the iron rice bowl of the county chemical factory workers, and with the ideal of changing the appearance of his hometown, returned to the village to become the former production captain and today's villager group leader.
After Zhou Baosheng took office, the first thing to solve was the problem of food and clothing for the members. But it was impossible to do without changing the cauldron system at that time. After discussing with several backbones of the team, Zhou Baosheng decided to take a risk. When the village-based team returned home for the Chinese New Year, they distributed the land to each household and implemented the land contract to each household. When the task force returned to the village and was preparing to criticize Zhou Baosheng, the behavior of contracting households in Xiaogang Village in Anhui Province was affirmed by the central authorities, and Zhou Baosheng and Xiaogang Village echoed each other from afar, and the task force had nothing to say.
After the land contract production was carried out, the grain output of the whole team increased greatly that year, and the problem of food and clothing was solved every year. With the introduction of the responsibility system, the peasants have food and clothing, but they have no living money, and the face of poverty cannot be changed.
Zhou Baosheng led the villagers to set up an agricultural, industrial and commercial development company, set up an popsicle factory, excavated coal kilns, built a brick factory, made furniture, operated casting, and set up township and town enterprises, and greatly increased economic income.
After having the money, the eighth group of Guanqiao carried out the first renovation of the villagers' houses, and the original scattered huts were transformed into centralized buildings. At that time, the reputation of the Eight Groups of Guanqiao was immediately greatly enhanced, and it became a well-known rich village near and far, and Zhou Baosheng joined the party, became a model worker in the province and the whole country, became an outstanding communist party member at all levels, and became a deputy to the National People's Congress and a deputy to the National Party Congress of the Communist Party of China.
If Zhou Baosheng stopped at this time and guarded several township enterprises, the villagers of the eight groups of Guanqiao would be able to live well and live a safe life. However, Xiao Fu is not Haojie, stagnation is Yan Que, Zhou Baosheng's purpose of building a beautiful hometown is far more than food and clothing, he has a greater pursuit. He constantly studied the advanced cases of reform and opening up in various places, studied the central policies, and thought about the development direction of the eight groups of Guanqiao.
He decided to make a move into technology. Others laugh at him, what kind of technology can a mud leg do? Zhou Baosheng said, only if we find the right direction and work hard, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done, I will do it for you.
It is also a wish from Heaven. Liu Yesheng, a magnetic materials expert at a scientific and technological unit in Wuhan, has a research result and is looking for a partner. Liu Yesheng visited the eighth group of Guanqiao that day, and Zhou Baosheng just happened to meet him, so he accompanied Liu Yesheng and talked about his desire to invest in science and technology. Zhou Baosheng's fighting spirit touched Liu Yesheng, who said that his research results were looking for partners. Zhou Baosheng immediately invited Liu Yesheng to come to the eighth group of Guanqiao, and the eighth group of Guanqiao was willing to provide plant, personnel and funds. Zhou Baosheng's sincerity allowed Liu Yesheng to decide on the intention of going to the eight groups of Guanqiao to partner, and the two hit it off immediately.
Hubei Yangtze River Alloy Factory was born in a mountain village in southern Hunan Province, and mud legs became high-tech producers. The magnetic material products produced by the eighth group of Guanqiao, the development of high-performance permanent magnet alloys, magnetic steel series products, widely used in xichang long march carrier rockets, Shenzhou spacecraft, artificial satellites, missile guidance systems, as well as cutting-edge military production such as aviation instruments and high-precision civilian instruments such as petroleum geophysical geophysical geophones, has made outstanding contributions to the mainland's national defense construction and economic development. Hubei Yangtze River Alloy Factory creates tens of millions of yuan in profits for the eight groups of Guanqiao every year, which is unmatched by many village-run enterprises.
Zhou Baosheng tasted the sweetness of high technology and decided to continue to work hard. He went to Wuhan three times, stood in the snow for a few hours, invited experts to set up the Hubei Yangtze River Cable Factory, and the cable-stayed cables produced were used in dozens of river bridges such as the Wuhan Baishazhou Yangtze River Bridge.
Zhou Baosheng's philosophy is that only by struggling in life can we succeed in our careers. On the road of struggle, never stop, we must be good at seizing opportunities. When the state has a policy of private education, he wants to open a university. This time, no one laughed at him anymore, and people said that he could always do what Zhou Baosheng wanted to do.
Running the Provincial Department of Education, running the Ministry of Education, taking the plan, participating in the bidding, how many difficulties Zhou Baosheng encountered, do not have to tell one by one, in short, they succeeded. The eighth group of Guanqiao first co-founded the East Lake Branch of Wuhan University with Wuhan University, and later decoupled from Wuhan University to independently run Wuhan East Lake College. Wuhan East Lake College is located in Wuhan Jiangxia District, the campus pavilion is novel, tree-lined, hundreds of flowers blooming. Wuhan East Lake College belongs to the second category of undergraduates, from the training of talents, teaching quality comparison, ranked first in private universities in Hubei, the second in the country.
Isn't it a miracle that a villager group runs a university? Zhou Baosheng created a miracle.
Some resource-based enterprises, in order to develop outwards and have limited resources, must go to those places where they have resources but do not have the ability to use them and cooperate with them to develop. Zhou Baosheng and Guanqiao's eight groups expeditioned to Guizhou and developed a heba coal mine in Guizhou.
Small enterprises and small factories are shut down, and enterprises with promising development prospects, especially high-tech enterprises, see it accurately and will do whatever it takes to ensure success. On the road of leading the villagers to struggle, Zhou Baosheng always adheres to the concept of development and seeking newness.
At that time, the comprehensive agricultural, industrial and commercial company is now Hubei Tianye Group, an enterprise joint-stock company under collective ownership, and the villagers of the eight groups of Guanqiao, and everyone is a shareholder. Zhou Baosheng, chairman of Hubei Tianye Group, secretary of the party committee, and leader of the eight groups of Guanqiao, his original intention is not forgotten, more than 40 years, painstaking, dedicated, not for fame and profit, only for the beautiful hometown in his heart, only for the revitalization of the countryside.
He succeeded, he and his villagers' ideals came true, and the eight groups of Guanqiao became the beautiful countryside of Hubei and a business card of Jiayu's beautiful countryside.
In the eighth group of Guanqiao, the villagers have villas, monthly salaries, people have shares, there is a guarantee for the retirement of the old and the sick, there are subsidies for children to enroll, and there are arrangements for graduation work. The villagers are carefree and live in happiness and sunshine!
The total assets of the eight groups of Guanqiao are 3 billion yuan, the collective economic income is 1.6 billion yuan, the profit tax is 220 million yuan, and the per capita income of the villagers is 66,000 yuan.
The eight groups of Guanqiao are well-known and well-known at home and abroad. The Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China have designated it as a base for receiving visits from foreign political parties. Party and state leaders have come to inspect many times, and guests and friends from more than 30 countries and regions have come to visit, and guests and friends have called the eight groups of Guanqiao the most beautiful villages in China.
The eight groups of Guanqiao have successively won more than 20 honors at the national level, including national civilized units, state-level ecological villages, national advanced units for spiritual civilization construction, national green well-off villages, national advanced grass-roots party organizations, and national advanced units for township enterprise management. It has won more honors in Hubei Province, Xianning City and Jiayu County, reaching more than 200 items.
I once wrote a stele for a stele in the Eight Groups of Qiankun Pavilion in Guanqiao, and at the end of this stele, I wrote:
"Spring, Yu visits Si Village, walks the village road, looks at the villa, looks at the industrial park, talks to Zhou Baosheng, the abdomen is full of glory. Yu Deng's nine-story Wenchang Pagoda, facing the spring breeze, looking in all directions, wandering eight poles, thousands of emotions rose from the chest. Si Village is rich from a poor village, why? Capable people too! The state has a wise king, strong and prosperous and peaceful, the county has good officials, the people are happy, and the village has capable people, and it will be rich. Zhou Baosheng, firm in faith, holds the concept of changing the face of his hometown and sharing prosperity with the villagers, reform and innovation, foresight, hard work, and the ideal has finally become a reality. Two party congresses in Beijing, six people's congress deputies, national model workers, outstanding communist party members, outstanding entrepreneurs, enjoy government subsidies, countless honors, titles come together. Low-key people, not far from the land, glory is not proud, rich is not reserved, defeat is not discouraged, guanqiao eight groups of leading geese, spread their wings and long sky capitalized people. Guanqiao eight groups, Zhou Baosheng also! Zhou Baosheng, Guanqiao Eight Groups also! The two are inseparable. ”
This is the history of the struggle of a villager group leader.
