Huaxi Village, the first village in the world. It is located in Huashi Town, Jiangyin City, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, with a total area of 35 square kilometers. He has won the honorary titles of National Advanced Grassroots Party Organization, National Model Villagers' Committee, National Civilized Village, Model of New Socialist Rural Construction, and National Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site.
Although Huaxi Village is known as the first village in the world, his reputation is hard-won. In the previous Huaxi Village, the environment was quite harsh, with 845 mu of land divided into more than 1,300 irregular small fields; Huaxi Village, with a population of 667, is divided into 12 small natural villages by more than 40 intricate intertwined small rivers and ditches; The muddy path winds and the traffic is very inconvenient. Production and life in Huaxi Village are quite difficult, and in the event of natural disasters, the entire village either leaves their hometown to beg for food, or their families are destroyed.
After the climax of agricultural science Dazhai was set off throughout the country, the moving deeds of Dazhai people "fighting the heavens and the earth, fighting three wolves and palms, and integrating the 200 mu of land divided into 4,700 pieces of land on one slope of the seven ditches and eight beams into 2,600 pieces of high-yield and stable-yield land" spread throughout the country.
Similarly, the story of the Dazhai battle against heaven and earth also reached the Huaxi Brigade. At that time, the people of Huaxi were deeply inspired and inspired. In the winter of 1964, Wu Renbao, secretary of the party branch of the West China Brigade, formulated a "15-year long-term plan for West China" in light of the actual conditions in West China, preparing to build a socialist new West China over a period of 15 years. Wu Renbao's plan focuses on building irrigation channels, building high-yield and stable-yield fertile land, and merging the 12 scattered natural villages of the brigade into one Huaxi village. After 15 years of arduous struggle by all cadres and masses, the people of Huaxi have finally realized their dream.
With the improvement of the production and living environment and the increase in grain production, the people of Huaxi have not stopped complacent. In order to develop the economy in an all-round way, the West China Brigade began to set up its own social enterprises. As a result, the first social enterprise of the West China Brigade, the Hardware Factory, was born. After ten years of development, the hardware factory has completed an output value of nearly 3 million yuan, thus realizing the initial original accumulation of Huaxi Village, and at the same time, it has also accumulated valuable experience for the industrialization and urbanization of Huaxi in the future.

In the winter of 1978, the eighteen big men of Xiaogang Village secretly pressed the red handprint of dividing fields and doing things alone, which opened the prelude to the nationwide division of fields and individual work, and the people's communes collapsed one after another. However, the Huaxi Brigade did not divide the fields and went it alone, and decided to continue on the road of the people's commune collective ownership economy. Moreover, Wu Renbao also decided to "make a fortune with a muffled voice" and carry forward the social collective enterprises.
In 1979, under the leadership of Wu Renbao, Huaxi Village decided to carry out industrial adjustment, expand the development of collective enterprises, and send personnel to study technology. With the maturity of various conditions, Huaxi Village has successively established more than 40 enterprises focusing on metallurgy, textiles and non-ferrous metals, such as forging plants, strip mills, aluminum factories, and copper factories. By 1980, the total output value of industry and agriculture in West China exceeded 100 million yuan, becoming the first "100 million yuan village" in Jiangsu Province.
In 1983, the people's communes throughout the country had basically disappeared, the name of the people's communes had been changed, and the Huaxi Brigade had been changed to Huaxi Village. After decades of development, Huaxi Village has developed by leaps and bounds in economy and has become the "world's first village" with a national reputation. Although rich, however, the Huaxi people at this time did not forget their neighbors. Since the end of the 80s of last century, Huaxi Village has been "helping and helping" the surrounding villages. After years of "help and help", Huaxi Village has been combined with 16 surrounding villages to form a Dahuaxi Village covering an area of 35 square kilometers and a population of more than 30,000, thus becoming a veritable "No. 1 village in the world". At the same time, it also became the first village to "get rich first, get rich later, and prosper together".

Today, Huaxi Village has become a group company with total assets of about 60 billion yuan, which belongs to a group company under collective ownership. More than 30 leading cadres of the party committee of Huaxi Village serve as the main responsible persons of the enterprise group or its subordinate branches. In order to improve work efficiency, the village party committee often holds meetings of responsible persons to communicate, consult and solve problems encountered in the work in a timely manner.
In addition to the rapid development of industry, Huaxi Village also has a major highlight, that is, tourism. There are more than 80 major attractions in Huaxi Village Scenic Area, including West China Urban Agriculture Demonstration Park, West China Happiness Garden, Faith Grand View Garden, Zhongwang, Ox King, Drum King, West China Post Museum, Golden Pagoda, West China National Palace, Dragon Boat, Aerial Flower and Bird Park, etc. It is said that the annual tourism revenue of Huaxi Village has reached more than 10 billion yuan.
In addition to enjoying enviable benefits such as medical care, education, and free housing, the villagers of Huaxi Village also have villas and cars, and their per capita savings are more than one million.
After decades of development, Huaxi Village has entered a bottleneck period and has to undergo transformation. In order to expand the field of development, Huaxi Village has also entered the financial field on the basis of developing industry, trade, tourism and other fields. It has successively obtained industry licenses such as pawnbroking and small loans, and established relevant financial entities. In addition, it also participates in banks, securities, futures, listed companies and other enterprises. The transformation has brought questions about the excessive debt ratio of Huaxi Village, but Wu Xieen, the current head of Huaxi Village, believes that nearly 50% of Huaxi Village's debt ratio is not high and does not affect normal development.
Practice has proved that unity is strength! Collective is better than individual!
