There are two major miracles in the history of Urban Construction in China, one is Shenzhen, Guangdong, and the other is Longgang, Zhejiang. A group of ordinary farmers in Longgang, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, with the wisdom and diligence of the people, in just forty years, not only realized the dream of farmers to enter the city, but also created a miracle of peasants building a city. This "city" changed the fate of hundreds of thousands of peasants, enabling them to achieve common prosperity many years ago.
On the morning of April 13, the "Magnificent Chapter of Recording Rural Revitalization and Common Prosperity - Seminar on the New Book of "Chinese Peasant City" was held in Beijing. The book takes the development of Longgang as the main line and comprehensively tells the real history of several small fishing villages growing into China's first peasant city. The conference was jointly sponsored by the People's Literature Publishing House and the Zhejiang People's Publishing House. The seminar was presided over by Li Hongqiang, editor-in-chief of the People's Literature Publishing House.

How to take the road of socialist rural revitalization with Chinese characteristics? DragonPort gave their answer. As the first "town reform city" without townships and streets since the 18th National Congress and the "national pilot town for comprehensive reform of small towns", the Longgang miracle has provided an excellent sample for the mainland's new urbanization reform, rural revitalization and common prosperity.

The author integrates profound historical insights, skillful literary expressions and profound people-oriented feelings into the image of Longgang farmers who are soft and tenacious, vivid and vivid. Ye Guobin, president of the Zhejiang People's Publishing House, stressed that "China Peasant City" is a reportage work with heavy content, and through the small incision of Longgang, it vividly presents the historical pulse of reform and opening up and the magnificent epic created by the people, and is a work from the demonstration area of common prosperity that reflects the exploration of common prosperity.
Yan Xiaohong, chairman of the China Copyright Association, said that "China Peasant City" has brought a lot of enlightenment, one is to grasp the strong demand for farmers to live a good life after the reform and opening up in longgang, and the other is that the author writes about their reform practice and writes about the innovation with modern enterprise management awareness.
Shi Zhanjun, secretary of the Secretariat of the China Writers Association, believes that the writing path of Mr. Zhu Xiaojun, the author of "China Peasant City", is very worthy of our study, he almost uses the thinking of a novelist and uses the tone of prose to write a non-fiction reportage-style work, which is very kind to read, and it is particularly easy to enter the characters in the text and their hearts, which is very rare.
Yang Ping, vice president of the China Book Critics Association, stressed that "China Peasant City" has two major contributions, one is a strong historical one, and the other is a strong reality. Through specific legendary events, this book leads our thinking on farmers and rural areas to depth, conveys the legendary and remarkable social phenomena to readers, lets more people know, and allows more people to reflect on China's rural problems. In this sense, the merits of this book are great.
Zang Jun, one of the planners of this book and secretary of the party group of the Zhejiang Writers Association, believes that the author Zhu Xiaojun focused on the big times and big themes, focused on small people and small villages, and truly wrote about the difficulties of reform, the great changes, and the blessings of the people. "China Peasant City" is a masterpiece written on the land of Zhejiang to promote reform and opening up, entrepreneurship and innovation of the great practice, is a history of entrepreneurship of contemporary farmers in Zhejiang, but also a history of Zhejiang reform and opening up, but also a history of Zhejiang spiritual development.
Ying Xuelin, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Hangzhou Municipal CPC Committee, said that Teacher Zhu Xiaojun's "Chinese Peasant City" is not only a history of longgang city building, but also a history of coordinating urban and rural development, promoting rural revitalization, and achieving common prosperity.
Liang Hongying, editor-in-chief of "Literature and Art Daily", commented that "China Peasant City" is a work with a very strong sense of history, and through the author's brushstrokes, we return to the steaming 1980s when officials started their own businesses. The temperature of the work is expressed through the character's personality and mental journey, and the character description in the book is the most characteristic. In addition, Zhu Xiaojun's creation has a very important feature, he is to write about people and lead things, rather than mixing things up in the works. The characters stand up first, this work can have temperature and bones, and Zhu Xiaojun has provided us with many valuable enlightenments in the creation of reportage literature.
Xu Jian, president of the China Reportage Literature Society, expressed his excitement about reading this book with the "Four Ones", saying: First, this is a beautiful book; second, this is a book of Nirvana; third, this is a book of sentient beings; fourth, this is an epic poem of city-building. "China Peasant City" is a very thorough writing on China's urbanization path that has lasted for forty years, and this book is an important harvest of Zhejiang reportage in recent years.
Pan Kaixiong, deputy director of the Novel Committee of the China Writers Association and former vice president of the China Publishing Group, commented that "China Peasant City" is a very simple work, but its significance and value are enormous. The history of Longgang reform described by Zhu Xiaojun is synchronized with the modernization of the entire country, and even plays a leading role in some directions. These are all contained in his simple narrative, which is iconic and has important values and connotations.
Li Bingyin, former executive vice president of the China Reportage Literature Society, believes that the publication of this book is not only a kind of witness to the reform and opening up of Longgang, it also has historical value and historical value, but what is more important is that we must still adhere to reform and opening up today. Without reform and opening up, there would be no Longgang. If our country wants to develop in the future, the countryside must be revitalized, and the rural areas must continue to develop, we must adhere to the road of reform and opening up. This work is not pure history, not a summary, its significance lies precisely in the enlightenment that we must carry out reform and opening up to the end.
Bai Ye, president of the Chinese Contemporary Literature Research Association, said that there are two things that impressed him most about "China Peasant City", one is to write about reform from the unique perspective of "peasants building a city", and the other is to create a group of very vivid characters. Overall, it is a very good work, especially in the current history of reform, this work is irreplaceable.
Hu Ping, former director of the Creative Research Department of the China Writers Association, sighed that reading the reportage "China Peasant City" is much more enjoyable than reading a novel, and the real characters and stories in the book are more wonderful than the fictional ones. Zhu Xiaojun not only wrote about the reform spirit of an era, but also recorded a period of burning passion.
Yang Xiaosheng, vice president of the China Reportage Literature Society and former president of Beijing Literature Magazine, commented that Zhu Xiaojun's "Chinese Peasant City" has never been written before, and it is unique; secondly, many soul characters have been created in the book, Chen Dingmo, Li Qitie and others are heroes and mainstays who created the Miracle of Longgang, which are worth remembering by history and the people, and are also worthy of writing by writers; third, Zhu Xiaojun's works are writing more and more mature and freely, and literary quality has always run through his works, and now it has become a conscious behavior The fourth is the tone, the tone of this work is solid, deep, meticulous, rigorous, calm, objective and heavy. Reading the whole work, I think this is an excellent reportage work with a unique fragrance, good look and readability, reflecting the miracle of China's reform and opening up and the fate of Chinese peasants, and full of the sense of the times, vicissitudes and the fate of the characters.
Yuan Keping, a well-known screenwriter and editor-in-chief of the 36-episode TV series "The City Maker", said that the deepest impression left by reading "China Peasant City" was Zhu Xiaojun's love for Longgang and his deep love for Chen Dingmo, Li Qitie and Chen Zhihui's "monkeys". It's hard for a reportage to impress everyone, to leave people, to leave stories, but he stayed. As a screenwriter, he will adapt this drama with the greatest sincerity and the greatest love, and do his best to write this legend and greatness.
Since its publication, this book has not only received extensive attention from critics and readers, but chen Dingmo, one of the protagonists of this book and the first secretary of Longgang, sighed after reading this book, saying that it is the hard work of teacher Zhu Xiaojun, who has introduced the arduous entrepreneurial spirit of several generations in Longgang, the perseverance of never looking back without fear of hardship and difficulty, and the perseverance of never looking back to the end, introduced to the readers the bitterness of various tribulations they have experienced and the joy of success, and introduced to the world their experience of achieving "common prosperity" through their own labor. Li Qitie, another protagonist of this book and former mayor of Longgang Town, also said that there are two points worth learning from Teacher Zhu's "Chinese Peasant City" in the writing process: First, his rigorous spirit of governance, he interviewed nearly two hundred people when writing "China Peasant City", which is very detailed; second, Teacher Zhu Xiaojun wrote about the peasant city to seek truth and be pragmatic, and he was deeply touched by this spirit.
Everyone highly affirmed the author's two-year in-depth interview and research, the repeated verification and recording of facts in the text, and affirmed his profound thinking and the height of history, the emotions and details of literature, and the humor and vividness of the character language. It is unanimously agreed that the author has written a magnificent, ups and downs, and a moving entrepreneurial history of the common prosperity of Chinese farmers.
