"The old people in our village eat here for free every day, and on the second day of February, the village also celebrates the birthday of the old people collectively, which is really a blessing!" mentioned the "happy canteen" in Qufu, and the old people were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. It is understood that since the completion of the "Mantianxing" Happy Canteen in December 2023, it has provided two free meals a day for the elderly over 78 years old in the village every day, which not only ensures the nutritious diet of the elderly, pleases physical and mental health, but also effectively alleviates the burden of elderly care for young people.
Xingjia Village is located in the southeast of Lingcheng Town, Qufu City, Shandong Province, with many surrounding villages and dense population, but far away from the urban area, lacking a relatively concentrated shopping and entertainment business center. In order to provide convenient services for the villagers, Xingjia Village relies on the leadership of party building, invests more than 500 yuan to demolish the collective houses that have been idle for many years at the intersection of the village center street, and plans to build a "central business district" that integrates functions such as private affairs, happy canteens, medical care, cultural and sports education, catering and leisure, and employment services. The new format of the business industry chain is expected to increase the income of the village collective by 2 million yuan per year. The income of village enterprises feeds back to the "starry-stard" happy canteen, teaching assistant and other "one old and one young" livelihood undertakings, and has embarked on a new path of rural revitalization in which the young are nurtured, the old are supported, the sick are treated, and the weak are supported.
In order to better make good use of idle land resources and help the village collectively increase income, we adhere to the policy of adapting measures to local conditions and villages, and implement the action of zoning and classification party building to promote rural revitalization. Li Cavalry, chairman of the Lingcheng Township People's Congress, clearly depicted the overall tone of Lingcheng Township in rural revitalization. As the so-called "gathering sand into a tower", Zhangzhuang Village, which has a similar situation to Xingjia Village, has reclaimed more than 50 acres of abandoned homesteads, abandoned farms and wasteland in the corners of the village through policies such as the transformation of abandoned courtyards and the linkage of land increase and decrease, and the seemingly inconspicuous "small plot" of crops has increased by 150,000 yuan, showing a good situation of "abandoned land" becoming "harvest field". Guanzhai Village and Gulutao Village, located in the northeast urban planning area of the jurisdiction, have solved the employment problem of 32 people by renovating the idle houses in the courtyard of the village committee and the villagers' homes, and developing three-dimensional mushroom planting. The nearby Xinzhuang Village has transformed several idle houses of the village collective into flour processing factories, handmade pancake workshops, and red e-commerce live broadcast rooms, realizing the integration of processing and sales of Qufu's characteristic salty pancakes, and the "Hemei Xinzhuang" brand "soil pancakes" have also flown into the dining tables of star-rated hotels such as Confucius Hotel and Bulgari Hotel in Beijing, and the "small workshop" has grown into a large industry, achieving a new breakthrough in the industrial development of resource-deficient villages.
In addition to the "micro" utilization of idle houses and plots in the village, in view of the coal mining subsidence area of about 36,000 mu in the southwest of the jurisdiction, Lingcheng Town adheres to the macro grasp and long-term planning, adheres to the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and has continued to tackle the comprehensive improvement of the ecological environment for many years, insisting on rejecting projects with high returns but pollution risks, creating a pleasant scene of "clear water and green banks, shallow bottoms of fish and birds, and fragrant birds and flowers", realizing the gorgeous transformation of the area from "coal" to "beauty". In order to revitalize this area that has been idle for many years, under the premise of coordinating the protection of the ecological environment and the effective use of resources, after many studies and judgments, the local government has attracted a total investment of 1 billion yuan, integrating fishing competitions, leisure tourism, agricultural research, sports competitions, accommodation and catering in one of the international fishing base & agricultural, cultural and tourism complex project, and has started the construction of a fishing hall, catering accommodation and other supporting facilities, which can not only realize "breeding + processing + cultural tourism" after completion The integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries has increased the income of the village collective by more than 70 yuan every year, and has also added a special cultural and tourism attraction in the southwest of Qufu that can host international events.
In order to do a better job in the agricultural industry, combined with the functional positioning of the "grain and important agricultural product production area" in the western agricultural and rural areas of the jurisdiction, Lingcheng Town has made great efforts to do a good job in returning farmland to forest, reclamation of abandoned land, and cultivated land protection, and guided the villages to promote agricultural industrialization, large-scale and intensive development through land integration, variety cultivation, quality improvement, and brand building. Liujia Village will integrate more than 80 acres of land parcels to develop Chinese herbal medicine planting through the model of "party branch + cooperative + farmer + base"; Yangtun Village has transferred more than 60 acres of land to develop blueberry planting, fruit and vegetable picking and beverage processing, and e-commerce live broadcast industry chain has been gradually improved; Xiaochang Village has integrated land for expanding broiler breeding through returning forests to farming, and the newly recruited intelligent farm project will reach 400,000 broilers after it is put into operation in July; Gulugou cooperates with improved seed enterprises to develop order agriculture and concentrate on building grain production areas, among which 260 acres of soybean high-yield fields in Zhangzao have achieved good results of 369.70 kg per mu, refreshing the provincial record, and winning the first place in the national soybean high yield (clear seed and summer sowing); 52 large grain growers integrated 63,000 acres of land to develop corn planting, further expanded the corn industry cluster, realized the integrated operation of planting and breeding, production and marketing, trade, industry and agriculture, and built an agricultural industrialization pattern of "company + base + farmer + sales network", which favorably promoted the deep integration and development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas...... By integrating idle plots, promoting the economical and intensive use of land, and developing characteristic economies, it not only maximizes land benefits, but also further activates the continuous "hematopoietic function" of the village collective and the "endogenous power" of industrial development, and depicts a beautiful picture of rural revitalization on the vast land.
"We will continue to deeply study and comprehend the experience of the 'Ten Million Project', anchor the goal of building a pilot area of the 'Rural Revitalization Qilu Model Demonstration Area', based on the location and resource advantages, continue to tap the potential and revitalize the idle assets in the village, awaken the 'sleeping resources', and make the village collective economy a better 'dance', so as to build momentum for rural revitalization and high-quality development." When it comes to future development, Cong Yanzhi, Secretary of the Party Committee of Lingcheng Town, is loud. (Reporter Chen Xi, correspondent Xu Xuefeng, Wu Peng)
