CCTV news: In Yanbian County, Panzhihua, Sichuan, there is such a retired soldier, his name is Hu Hongchao. After retiring from the army, he stayed in the station to start a business, and developed a characteristic agriculture based on the cultivation of mangoes on the 5,000 acres of barren mountains contracted by Musala Village, which not only put the local villagers on the road to prosperity, but also contributed to the protection of the ecological environment.
These days, on the Yinpan Mountain in Yanbian County, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, golden mango flowers bloom all over the mountain. Looking at the spring colors of these 5,000 acres of fruit forests, Hu Hongchao was full of emotions.
After Hu Hongchao retired from the army, due to his outstanding business ability, he was hired by the local government to be responsible for the management of enterprises in the township and the operation of sand and gravel companies. In the following 3 years, Hu Hongchao traveled all over the countryside, and also saw many poor villagers, after leaving the sand and stone company, Hu Hongchao's greatest wish is to lead the local people to get rid of poverty and get rich together.
Retired soldier Hu Hongchao: I wanted to use what industry to drive them, and then found that the land in Musala Village is relatively deep, the field of vision is relatively wide, and it is very suitable for fruit cultivation and development.
The cycle of different species and breeding protects the ecology
After the hard work of Hu Hongchao and the workers, the highway was built, the reservoir was built, the former barren slope became a "flower and fruit mountain", and the sales of products gradually expanded to many markets at home and abroad. In recent years, Hu Hongchao has also used the unique solar and thermal resources of Panzhihua to develop photovoltaic power plants, while opening up the aquaculture market and realizing the breeding cycle.
Retired soldier Hu Hongchao: Our total planting area of Panzhihua is more than 1 million (mu) of mangoes, and the amount of fruit hanging is now 600,000 to 700,000 tons, so our next step to extend the industrial chain and increase the income of farmers must engage in deep processing of mangoes to supply the market and drive farmers to increase income.
Xu Changyou, director of the Yanbian County Veterans Affairs Bureau: Hu Hongchao used the barren mountains to develop the mango industry, which not only greened the mountains, beautified the countryside, and optimized the ecology, but also let the people taste the sweetness of green water and green mountains, which is the sweetness of jinshan yinshan, and enhanced everyone's confidence in the development of their hometown. In the next step, we will continue to carry out activities such as veterans always following the party, and encourage veterans to actively participate in the construction of the ecological environment in the county.
