Walk into Mount Taiyue
Late spring in April, the sky is clear. We took a car into the Qinshui River Valley and slowly traveled east along the road. However, the mountains on both sides of the Qin River are majestic, the peaks are stacked, and the mountains are full of wild pines and cypresses, and the herbs are green.
At the bottom of the valley, the river is clear and meandering in the east, holding the green mountains and green trees on both sides of the river in your arms, showing your mother's caresses and gentleness; at the top of the mountain, the sun is brilliant, the gold is sprinkled with brilliance, and the mountains of Mang Mang Taiyue are draped with brocade and hanging shows, dressed up as the party's cousins. The car drove over the Qinhe Bridge to Zhengzhuang. Although Zhengzhuang is a small town in the mountains, the shopping malls along the street are lined with shops, and the items displayed in the store are exquisite, which is comparable to the small town on the plain. Turn left from the bustling area of Zhengzhuang, follow the asphalt paved road for 10 miles to the northeast, pass through Xiaobeizhuang surrounded by streams, and arrive at the Hugou Pass. A sparkling river flows out of Hugou, and the water is urgent, slow, falling, and splashing, sometimes like the noise of a thousand horses galloping; sometimes, it is just like the subtlety of the little family jasper gently stroking the strings. We followed the gravel road on the west bank of the creek into Hugou. The further you go inside, the more beautiful the mountains and waters become.
In the depths of this Taiyue Mountain, there lived a literati whose name was Zhang Jishan. Zhang Jishan is a strong man from Zhangjiawan, a village in Quwo County. After graduating from Qucun Middle School, he went to work as a soldier and then returned to the village to work as a farmer for more than half a year. In the early 1970s, he worked as a highway maintenance worker, a collector and a material clerk in the Quwo County Traffic Bureau, and later went to the provincial capital taiyuan and found an errand in a cultural unit for 20 years. With his pen dipped in tears intertwined with misery and joy, he wrote a long novel "Shijiawan", a novella "Bells on Xinghualing" and "Door, Should I Knock"; a collection of poems "Misty Rain", "Faint Clouds", "Crooked River"; TV series "Chasing Dreams", "Under the Ta'er Mountain", "Deep in the Mountains" and a large number of literary works, which made the top of his head light up the aura of a writer. In May 1999, Zhang Jishan left the bustling Taiyuan, put aside the cultural environment in which he had lived for 20 years, and resolutely invested 280,000 yuan to buy out 24 barren mountains and a river between the mountains 30 kilometers northeast of Qinshui County, which is the Hugou in front of us. Hugou is 16 miles long from north to south, 4 miles wide from east to west, and has a total area of more than 10,000 mu.
In the past 6 years, Zhang Jishan, his wife Han Chunmei, and his son Zhang Mingang, a family of three, have split the mountain and opened roads and set up power lines in the depths of this majestic mountain; barricaded the river to build dams, diverted water to water trees; built houses, planted vegetables and raised fish. According to the Qinshui County Government's long-term planning blueprint for the greening of this big mountain, they planted trees and grasses on one mountain after another. In the past 6 years, Zhang Jishan has used hard work as a pen and sweat as ink, silently dedicated himself on the paper of this 10,000-acre mountain, and written a touching chapter. Hugou was originally a deep ravine that was tens of miles long and ran north-south.
Many years ago, there were some poor and backward mountain people living here scattered here. After the state implemented the strategy of returning farmland to forests, and after the Qinshui County government moved the mountain people here to the townships outside the mountains, the mountains and waters here became inaccessible places. When Zhang Jishan first arrived in Hugou, he placed his home in several broken caves where the mountain people once lived. Although it was early summer, the caves of Hesse were cold, and the open space outside the kilns was covered with waist-deep yellow weeds. The 6 kilometers from the small North Village outside the ditch are all high and low twisting mountain stone roads, and the narrow area is less than one meter wide, and the car tractor cannot pass. Transport items can only be carried by people and carried on their shoulders. There is no newspaper here, there is no signal for mobile phones; there is no electricity, only candles can be lit at night, just in this desolate place where information is blocked, transportation is inconvenient, and the living environment is very bad, Zhang Jishan has set up camp here, planting trees and grass on the mountains, and greening the landscapes and rivers of Taiyue.
In the spring of 2000, Zhang Jishan invested another 320,000 yuan to comprehensively treat the lake ditch. He invited migrant workers from outside the mountain to build roads first, widening the sheep gut trails into gravel roads where cars and tractors could come and go. Poles, telephone lines and transformers were erected along the gravel road. Buy back the plastic pipe into the spring in the middle of the hill of Xiling, attract the spring water, build three dams on the small river at the bottom of the ravine, with a total storage capacity of 18,000 cubic meters, usually used to raise fish, in drought pump pumps to water the grass and trees on the mountain. After nearly two years of arduous infrastructure construction, he began to plant trees on a large scale in 2002. From the northernmost Hujialing to the southernmost Jiaojiashan Mountain, he has so far greened 4,300 acres and planted 400,000 trees. The trees he planted include jujube trees, peach trees, almond trees, excellent walnut Jinnong No. 1, almond trees, acacia, ash willow, woolly poplar and so on. The total number of newly planted trees and the original pine trees before the buyout has exceeded 500,000. In addition to planting trees, he also planted more than 400 acres of grass. On the hillside, next to the small river, large or small flat land, terraces, on the cultivated land of those mountain people, are now planted by Zhang Jishanquan.
In the bright spring light, young branches and leaves are scattered, and the green leaves are full of vitality. The mountain wind swept by, the pine waves roared, and the momentum of the mountains and the sea seemed to be playing a song of praise for the return of farmland to forests. Zhang Jishan said that when people live for a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, and they always have to leave something for society. Creating some forest resources for future generations, so that the mountains of Taiyue, the old revolutionary base area, are greener, the sky is bluer, and man and nature are more harmonious, this is my original intention of willing to come to Qinshui to suffer and suffer. Zhang Jishan toiled with his family in the depths of the mountains during the day, and every night he lay down under the lamp to create literature. In the early summer of 2011, the novel "Yellow River Testimony" was published by the China Federation of Literary and Literary Publishing Houses, which was serialized in the "Sanjin Metropolis Daily" and on many websites, which caused a wide impact on society. We sincerely congratulate Wenyou Zhang Jishan on his successful career.
Late at night, I tossed and turned on my bed in the cave, without any sleep. Cloaked and out of the door wandering in the courtyard, the mountains are vast, and everything is silent. In the clear sky, a full moon shines with pure silver light. The leaves in the distance and near are covered with shining dewdrops, crystal clear and radiant, that is Zhang Jishan's beautiful heart shining.
