Meet Yiyuan Taohua Island| dreamers on Taohua Island

Just like the wings of a goose skimming the ripples of stopping the water, the terraces of the disc are stacked on top of each other, which seems to solidify the folds of the autumn water into a static sculpture, so that the mountain is endowed with the shape of the water, and the water also saves the shadow of the mountain. Peach Blossom Island at the source of the Yi River, I just stepped on it, and it was as if I had encountered alice in wonderland------ and fell into a huge, fluffy and wet greenery, a little psychedelic, a little drunk. At this time, the sky is not willing to be lonely on the side of the mountain, staging a smorgasbord of color spectrum, the blue is no longer pure, gray, white, brown, black and other colors appear arbitrarily, graffiti, the sky has become a noisy sea, deep and dark ambush hidden wind and thunder.

It was wet and cold on the back, oh, it was raining.

A man, braving the rain to lead the crowd to greet us, led us to dine under the porch on the shore of Longzi Lake, he was burly and strong, dark complexion, his face was embedded in the simple and thick way of the Yimeng Mountain people, and his cheerful laughter revealed his open-mindedness and arrogance.

A bonfire was raised on the shore of Longzi Lake, the night was lit, and the fragrance of grass and trees fermented in the late autumn wind, and the cooking smoke was like smoke, and the refreshing mood rippled in everyone's heart. Hanzi, as the host, drank with the crowd, occasionally talked freely, and he was telling a dream.

The hometown in the dream has a new look, and it seems to be a new peach blossom source for four times. Spring is full of flowers, willow green warblers, ten miles of smoke and mist, autumn jade dew condensed incense, citrus yellow and green, ten thousand acres of waves swallow the wilderness. A gust of wind passed, the old mother lazily reclined among the flowers under the tree and slept lightly, Ah Huang quietly curled up at her feet and thought about it, the second brother went to busy with the important affairs of Longziyu Village, and the visitor he was going to receive today was said to be the descendants of a group of Taiwan veterans... The most mischievous little "stupid cow" and "tiger" in childhood, one opened a farmhouse and barbecue stall at home, and the other was busy loading fresh fruits and sending them to the long-distance vehicle. Villagers, on the land in front of their homes, greet guests from all over the world, and their smiles contain a surplus of running!

Build a dream for Sangzi! Change the day and the earth! The man's blood is burning!

Meet Yiyuan Taohua Island| dreamers on Taohua Island

Thinking of his hometown, it is like remembering his mother-in-law who raised him----- she may be poor, cold, and rude, and her son was once full of disgust for her, and he tried every means to escape, but when the son finally flapped his wings and fled, a casual look back, he saw his mother leaning on the door frame, shivering in the cold wind, the worn clothes dancing in the wind, and her yin yin eyes turned to the direction where the wanderer was going... The heart was stabbed by a cold arrow----- painful, tight, heavy! Mother, feed me with milk, wrap me in swaddling, plough out a meager offering in the barren land, hold up a sky that can soar for me with a dry and thin body, and irrigate my strength with flesh and blood, how can I ignore her withering today? The wanderer suddenly woke up!

There are thousands of people who have dreams, and very few people who can build them. This must not be an ordinary man, in the night, I looked at him----- his name is Dong Fangjun, maybe I am ugly, maybe he is low-key, before tonight, I am still deaf to this name. He did not bother to boast about himself, Tan Xingdu was in that beautiful vision, but his determination, self-confidence, and exaltation made us feel as if we had encountered Ma Liang's magic pen, and a new beautiful rural picture was slowly laid out in front of us.

Dong Fangjun has visited many countries and regions in the world, and he realized that mountain villages are not ordinary, they need to be cultivated inside and outside, and art is the symbol of butterfly rigidity and decline. In the post-industrial era, the depressed factories in the city, after being revitalized by the transformation of art, formed a cultural landscape cluster such as Beijing's "798" set of fashion bars, art galleries, creative handicrafts, etc., art makes the old industrial relics glow with a unique magical charm, and the art is grafted on the countryside, Naoshima in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan is an outstanding demonstration, 30 years of meticulous construction, so that Naoshima has become a distant Eden Garden, a pilgrimage place for global artists, and also become the world's dream of "poetry and far away".

This golden autumn, nearly ten elegant and charming museums, art galleries and literature museums have risen on Peach Blossom Island, where the aura has flourished, and new art collections and refreshing artistic ideas have been absorbed and known to the world. Tradition and fashion, ancient and modern, gorgeous and simple are integrated with ingenuity, converging into a gorgeous and complex artistic ocean, which is harmonious and harmonious.

In the "Flower of Time" art museum, Japanese designer Tatsuo Miyajima uses simple and cold scientific and technological lines to activate another way of opening time for us, so that thinking focuses on the connotation of life and time, and lets the imagination be infinitely enlarged in the vast universe.

The "Ink" art complex, which has begun to take shape, was personally operated by the French design master Andrew, who designed the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and is located at the intersection of the two mountains of Thailand and Lu, which can be called a model of the combination of Ancient Brick Culture and Architectural Aesthetics in China. The chic swing of one side of the ink stone is in the clear light of the green mountains and green waters, while the opposite "viewing roof" and the "ink" are each other's corners, and the two echo each other, which is playful.

Liu Yutang Literature Museum was unveiled, where the famous local writer Mr. Yutang of Yiyuan was placed, who had listed the past and present lives of Longziyu in "The Legend and True Story of Longziyu", and he turned his attachment to his hometown into a thick soil that nourished literature, and thirty years of writing the warmth of Yimeng Mountain could not be exhausted, he was known as "contemporary Zhao Shuli", and countless latecomers felt that his words tended to follow him to literature.

Long ziyu began to be envied by the world, together with its Huluwa brothers who had become a net red village----- Liu Jiapo (Dong Fangjun's Yiheyuan Pastoral Complex included seven administrative villages), art awakened the original beauty of Liu Jiapo that had been sleeping for a hundred years, a stone-built village slowly told an ancient story, courtyard walls, streets and alleys chanted in silence, and the gentle time of crossing the "once upon a time" was gentle, and the body and mind were healed unconsciously.

The source of the Yi river is constantly changing, but the wise know that if such a large volume is to be completely transformed, it is not an overnight force, but a lifelong achievement.

I can imagine that this is a long period of life of Yanlu Lanyi, as a successful entrepreneur, he could have enjoyed the second half of his comfortable and luxurious life, but Dong Fangjun chose such a trek road, just like the good deeds he performed on the road of entrepreneurship, and everyone who heard it was shocked and sighed.

In the 1990s, he donated 100,000 yuan of his wedding to build the first Hope Primary School for his hometown, and then donated many times to support poor children to go to school. He founded the Disabled People's Foundation, and by 2020, he has donated a total of 210 million yuan to the disabled, benefiting 360,000 people with disabilities. Under the pseudonym "Patriotic Army", he repeatedly donated money and materials to the veterans and survivors of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and went to Kinmen for seven consecutive years to pay tribute to the PLA soldiers who died here. At the beginning of the new crown epidemic, he and other entrepreneurs in Yiyuan donated 20,000 kilograms of "Yiyuan red" apples to the Shandong medical team in Hubei... In 2017, he joined the "Donation Pledge" initiated by Bill Gates, promising to donate more than half of his life's assets to Chinese charity, becoming the second Chinese entrepreneur to join the pledge organization after Niu Gensheng of the "Mengniu" Group.

I dare say that in China, Dong Fangjun is not the person with the largest amount of wealth, but his pace of doing good is at the forefront of charity, dragging his disabled right leg and walking like a fly.

Yes, Dong Fangjun never shied away from the fact that he was accidentally disabled.

At that time, a keen and courageous young man, Shanghai was vigorous in his career, he was full of vigor, but he did not want fate to set a tripwire in the shadows, an unexpected disaster suddenly came, and the young man had to hold on crutches. The huge gap, like a stuffy stick smashed on his head, he was bitter, wandering, self-pitying, father and fellow villagers looked anxious in the eyes, they took turns to enlighten and comfort, reminding young people to think more about the special combat hero Zhu Yanfu around the Yiyuan people. Zhu Yanfu ----- this name like lightning pierced through the cold ice in the hearts of young people, he had been an old hero who had been taught many times, he had lost his limbs, lost his left eye, and was almost blind, he could have rested peacefully on the merit book, but he chose to write the limits of life with the remaining body, creating a miracle that shocked the ancient and the present. The hero shines on all beings with burning life, and compared to him, do we still have a hurdle that we can't go?

Dong Fangjun stubbornly stood up and walked out of the haze of life. Fire and condensation have hardened hard steel, honor and suffering forged a true strongman, he has matured, more understand the meaning of life and life, life can only reflect value in continuous struggle and dedication, he wants to continue to give grand plan.

At that time, the national rural revitalization strategy was in full swing, so that Dong Fangjun's cause of "art revitalization village" was taking advantage of the clouds, and the Source of the Yihe River was resonating with the same frequency in the common pulse, and the sonorous was endless.

Stepping on Peach Blossom Island in early autumn, I saw a kind of exuberant atmosphere, surging among the stones at the source of the Yi River, and babbling in the hearts of people who have lived on farming for generations.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, why not be proud of the dreamers?
