Red Network Moment News, September 7 (Reporter Wang Yang, Zhang Biwen, Xu Dan, Ouyang Lu) On September 2, the reporter walked into the 711 Time Town with the Chenzhou concentrated style collection group of the Hunan Provincial News Front, and felt the development blueprint of the rebirth of an old mining area into reality.
Stepping into the 711 time town, several bright red characters of the state-owned 711 Mine hang on the gate with a sense of age, and there are some shops imitating the style of the sixties and seventies of the last century, including barber shops, photo studios, post offices, snack shops, etc., and the retro decoration style seems to make people instantly in the burning years of doing earth-shattering things and doing incognito celebrities. Tourists come in an endless stream, and they don't forget to take pictures with their mobile phones while spending.

Deng Yuzhen, 80, a family member of the miners, runs a vintage barbershop, "I followed my husband to the 711 mine when I was 19. At that time, a barbershop was opened to cut the hair of workers and their families in the mining area, and it was opened for 50 years. Deng Yuzhen laughed and teased, "I am the 711 version of 'female Tony' of that era." ”
Founded in January 1964, 711 Mine is the earliest large-scale uranium mine discovered and explored in the mainland, providing more than 4 million tons of qualified raw materials for the research and development of the first atomic bomb, the first hydrogen bomb and the first nuclear submarine.

In 2004, 711 Mine completed its historical mission, implemented policy closure, and officially withdrew from the historical stage. At that time, more than 6,000 employees and their families remained, and more than 1,000 empty nesters still live here. Due to the aging of public facilities, the living environment needs to be improved.
Since 2019, Chenzhou has actively applied for independent industrial and mining area renovation projects, accelerated the implementation of residents' resettlement and mine regreening, improved transportation, municipal and other infrastructure, improved basic public services such as education, medical care and pension, and continuously improved the ecological environment.

At the same time, combined with supporting projects such as the District Tourist Information Service Center, Huaxiang Medical Care Center, and Youth Red Research Center, a resource-exhausted town that is about to die out has regained its vitality and has become a shining business card integrating cultural engineering, people's livelihood engineering and cultural tourism engineering.
After the completion of the project, a total of more than 3 billion yuan of state-owned assets will be revitalized, and it is expected to receive 1 million tourists and achieve a comprehensive income of more than 50 million yuan in the first year.
