Streams gurgling around the village, bamboo forests wafting with fragrant fruit forests, sculptures of She's totems, paintings that cast the consciousness of the Chinese national community can be seen everywhere, and torch sculptures symbolizing the common beliefs of the 56 ethnic groups seem to be burning... On January 12, the reporter walked into the Lei home in front of the Yujiang ethnic minority village Xianxi Town, and only felt that this village in the middle of winter was like a picture of national unity and happiness.
Located in the northeast of Yanxi Town, next to Liangyu Highway, the transportation is very convenient, and it is the only ethnic minority village in Yanxi Town, with a total population of 305 people in 76 households.
From being selected as an ecological civilization village in the province to being rated as a AAA rural tourist spot in Jiangxi Province to being listed on the list of ethnic unity and progress villages in the province, in recent years, under the strong leadership of the district party committee and the district government, under the careful guidance of the United Front Work Department of the district party committee, the Lei family has deeply implemented the spirit of the ethnic work conference of the central and provincial party committees, taken the awareness of the Chinese national community as the main line, actively carried out the work of national unity and progress, and relied on good village collective industry, rich national culture and profound cultural heritage to build a beautiful homeland in an all-round way. The appearance and connotation are both improved.
The well-being of the people
Walking on the flat asphalt village road around the village, I saw the fence thinning, flowers blooming, groups of children happily playing with scooters, a row of skating cars parked neatly in the parking lot, a few cute scarecrows "standing" in the flowers and grass are enduring, chickens and ducks pecking around the fence. "Compared to the past, the village is much different now, and we feel like we live in a park." Villager Lei meticulously cleaned his yard and chatted with reporters.
In Lei's detailed memories, the roads in front of the She Nationality Village were narrow, the environment was dirty, and there were many graves, and the elderly, women, and children did not dare to go out at night. At the beginning of 2022, the district party committee and the district government listed the first batch of urban and rural integration demonstration sites in the first batch of Dianqian She Nationality Village in Yanxi Town, and the district invested more than 10 million yuan and invited a famous Shanghai design company to plan the overall plan.
Since it was listed as a demonstration site for urban-rural integration, the party members, cadres and masses of the Lei family in Dianqian Village responded positively, relying on the deepening of the pilot work of housing reform and urban-rural integration, and actively withdrew from the "stubborn diseases" affecting planning, such as hospital sets, ancillary facilities, and grave relocation, and the laying of rain sewage pipe networks, dredging and repairing of ditches, and continuous improvement of infrastructure. The original "three forests" ecology of sugarcane forest, fruit forest and bamboo forest in the village has given full play to its advantages, making the village full of greenery.
The work of building safety is also an important political task, and this "courtyardless" ethnic minority village has also built a professional conflict and dispute mediation team with the participation of Party members, village committee cadres, village sages, volunteer teams and other forces. It was rated as the 2017-2021 Demonstration Village for Safe Construction in the whole region, which greatly improved the sense of gain and happiness of the She.
Culture
In front of the village is Yingying stream, the residential wall courtyard is uniquely painted, the village history museum, ancient brown sugar experience hall, agricultural culture experience hall are filled with the fragrance of history, the cultural square is rich in wind, and the ancient wells and ancient trees that have survived for a hundred years quietly witness the transformation and development of this village... Visiting Lei's house in front of the store, the reporter was deeply impressed by what he had seen and heard.
On the wall of a residential building, a huge wall painting of national unity is eye-catching. "Folk wall paintings not only add brilliance to the 'appearance' of the Lei family, but also an important carrier for spreading the new wind of civilization, transmitting positive energy, and spreading spiritual civilization." Zhou Xingao, secretary of the party branch of Dianqian Village, introduced that the village pays attention to inheriting and protecting the She's culture, and has produced hundreds of folk wall paintings, propaganda columns and sculptures, which not only add cultural elements to the village, but also beautify the surrounding environment, and at the same time, subtly let the national culture cover the countryside and the spiritual civilization spread to the countryside.
Propaganda boards of national heroes such as Xiang Jingyu and Zhao Yiman stood on the roadside, allowing the red spirit to flow in this beautiful and livable village with ethnic minority characteristics. Lei Jiasheng, a model individual and village director of Yingtan City, said: "This has further strengthened the recognition of the She's people with the 'Taofen spirit' and the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics." ”
On the same day, I remembered to stroll on the road of Leijia Village, and saw the dance team members in the village wearing gorgeous She's costumes, happily dancing bamboo pole dances, horse lantern dances and other local dances to welcome the New Year, and the paintings on the outer wall reflecting civilized etiquette, ethnic songs and dances, village rules and people's covenants were displayed one by one, which was refreshing.
The beauty of industry
In the ancient brown sugar processing room in the village, a group of villagers are busy packing boxes of brown sugar, ready to sell online and offline to various places, remembering to peel a brown sugar and put it in a cup, only to feel full of mellow flavor.
Sugarcane cultivation is a characteristic industry of Xianxi Town, which has a cultivation history of more than 600 years, and using the ancient method to boil brown sugar is a traditional craft of the Lei family in front of the store. In order to further expand and strengthen the "sugarcane + brown sugar" industry, Xianxi Town established a town agricultural association, taking Taofen culture as the starting point, combined with Mr. Zou Taofen's outlook on life and the purpose of serving the people, the "Xiaohua Craftsman" brown sugar brand was established, and the Lei Jia Brown Sugar Processing Factory in front of the store was responsible for the production, processing and packaging of the "Xiaohua Craftsman" brand brown sugar.
At the same time, the introduction of high-tech enterprises incubated by Tsinghua University and China Agricultural University to create digital agriculture and brown sugar brand building projects, through digital solutions, to make up for the shortcomings of sugarcane production, processing and other links, to achieve a new digital control of the whole industry chain, quality and safety traceability, in 2022, the brown sugar industry will bring more than 600,000 yuan of village collective income.
And the bigger "money scene" is yet to come.
It is estimated that in 2023, the Lei family will expand the planting area of more than 50 mu of sugarcane, promote the virtuous cycle of planting, production and sales of the traditional brown sugar industry, realize a sustainable brand income generation model, strengthen and expand the "sweet business" of "sugarcane-brown sugar", and achieve a double harvest of the collective economy and the people. At the same time, develop homestays and farmhouses to attract more tourists to visit; It deeply integrates and develops with Baotai Group, a leading enterprise in Xianxi Town, around the village, and explores a new model of "village-enterprise pairing" for common development.
A twilight mist floated up in the sky, and the reporter was reluctant to walk home and look back from time to time, and this beautiful village was hidden in the green mountains. Nowadays, the Han and She people in Leijia Village are hugging each other like pomegranate seeds, ethnic unity and integration, common unity and struggle, common prosperity and development, and the sense of forging the Chinese national community continues to be practiced here. Bless Lei Family Village, the future can be expected! (Reporter Chen Jianhong)
