Cover news reporter Luo Xuan photo report
On the afternoon of November 24, in early winter, the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in Baiguo Village lost its leaves. Named after a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, this village is located in Shitie Township, Xuanhan, Sichuan, with a registered population of 1,253 and a permanent population of only 650.
Although the ginkgo trees that have lost their leaves are slightly bleak, the surrounding Sichuan East houses are full of life. Song Keji, secretary and director of the village branch of Baiguo Village, stood under the ginkgo tree and said with great ambition, "The key to rural revitalization lies in people, there are still many people in our village working outside, I want to do the village industry and attract more people to return to the hometown for development, this is the real rural revitalization." ”

Choice: Villages need young people
The post-90s Song Keji is a native of Baiguo Village, medium build, thick eyebrows, big eyes, wearing black-framed glasses, and a shy smile will appear at the corner of his mouth inadvertently when he speaks.
Why did a post-90s generation choose to return to his hometown? Song Keji's answer is very true: "When I graduated from high school and was not admitted to university, I thought that I didn't have a high degree to go out to work, and I may be doing work without any technical content, so I simply went back to the village to learn animal husbandry epidemic prevention knowledge with my grandfather, and I can also help the surrounding people do a good job in animal husbandry epidemic prevention." Young people are also needed in the countryside. ”

Song Keji introduced that with the knowledge of animal husbandry and epidemic prevention, in 2010, with the support of his parents, he invested more than 100,000 yuan to set up a pig farm in the village. In 2013, Yang Xiangui, the secretary of the old village branch, had a keen eye for gold and felt that this young man was good and worth cultivating, so he recruited him into the village committee as a clerk. In 2020, he took over Lao Zhishu's class and continued to walk forward with Baiguo Village.
This is Song Keji's choice, which stems from homesickness. Yuan Shuping, the first secretary of Baiguo Village, who is also a post-90s generation, also chose this place out of love. Yuan Shuping, who was originally a young cadre of the Organization Department of the Xuanhan County CPC Committee, did not hesitate to sign up when he learned that the unit was selecting the first secretary. He said: "I work everywhere, and I would like to go to the grassroots to hone myself more." In August 2021, he officially went to Baiguo Village as the first secretary.

Persistence: The industry needs to be diversified
On the road of rural revitalization, the two post-90s generations chose Baiguo Village, where does Baiguo Village go? After many brainstorming and field visits, they reached an agreement: rural revitalization must have industries, and diversified industries.
"If there is a time, I hope it is your time in Baiguo; If there is a kind of life, I want you to come to Baiguo to camp. This is the advertising slogan that Yuan Shuping has written countless times for "Baiguo Time Campground", although it was not used in the end, but "Baiguo Time Campground" hitched a ride on cultural tourism.
Baiguo Village Waterfall
According to Yuan Shuping, because Baiguo Village is close to the most prestigious Bashan Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Dazhou, as early as a few years ago, the village was optimistic about the radiation driving role of the Bashan Grand Canyon Scenic Area, and excavated the tourism resources in the village, such as: Baiguo Village Waterfall, Love Ladder, Forget Worries Bridge, etc., and once became a famous Internet celebrity check-in place. Therefore, this year, Murakami continued to dig deep into tourism resources and took advantage of the situation to create the "Baiguo Time Campground" to provide tourists with a different play experience.
Forget the Bridge
At the same time, Murakami has also vigorously developed traditional advantageous industries, such as tea and aquaculture. Song Keji, secretary of the village branch, said: "The tea cultivation history in Baiguo Village is very long, which was not paid attention to before, but after 2018, it was revitalized, and the tea enterprise 'Dangchun Tea' was introduced, and the collective economy was invested in shares at the same time." In terms of breeding, there are already five pig farms in the village, which together produce nearly 10,000 head per year. ”

Watch: Attract more people home
"The registered population is 1,253 and the permanent population is 650." These two numbers are deeply engraved in Song Keji's head. In his view, the permanent population is only half of the registered population, which shows that the development of the village is not good enough, and there are many young and middle-aged people who are wandering to other places to seek employment and make a living.
Therefore, Song Keji has been racking his brains in industrial development, especially in the field of breeding he is familiar with, he has his own ideas: "Now Murakami is developing aquaculture, I want everyone to see that you can also get rich through traditional breeding." However, I think the future of breeding is more to take the road of ecological breeding and green farming, so as to attract more buyers. ”

"For example, the development of running pigs, running pheasants, etc., by controlling the scale and improving quality, can not only reduce the damage to the environment, but also achieve high returns." Song Keji understands that these things need people to do, and the vast majority of people at home now are old people and children, and there are too few young people. In 2014, because he was too busy in the village, Song Keji's parents were only in their 40s, so they came back to help take care of the pig farm, although they earned less than outside, but they were happy.
Song Keji said: "In fact, the development of these industries is to let the young and middle-aged people in the village see that they can also make a difference in their hometowns, and hope that more people will return to their hometowns to develop." Industry attracts people, on the contrary, people can make the industry more prosperous, and the two complement each other to truly realize rural revitalization. ”
Reporter's Notes
The interview in Baiguo Village allowed me to see the great changes that have taken place in remote and impoverished mountainous areas. And this change is still ongoing with the advancement of rural revitalization. What is surprising is that the leaders and implementers of these changes are two post-90s, one is a native of Baiguo, and the other is the first secretary who actively responded to the call of the organization to exercise at the grassroots level. Whatever their starting point? They all have only one goal, to make Baiguo Village better. As the village branch secretary said, the key to rural revitalization is people, especially with the more participation of young people, rural revitalization is just around the corner.
