Spring in the north always comes a little later. On the first day of the Qingming holiday, a large number of tourists from the city flocked to this small mountain village at the foot of Qianshan in Liaoning Province to experience the local nostalgia and enjoy the natural oxygen bar.
In the spacious and tidy greenhouse, the blushing "Jiujiu Strawberry" is waiting for someone to pick. Zhang Jun, a local villager who contracted the greenhouse, smiled from ear to ear: "When it comes to holidays, many people from the city come to us, which is called 'leisure tourism'. ”
It is hard to imagine that today's "national civilized village", which is rich and beautiful, and full of people, was a poor and backward "provincial poor village" more than 10 years ago.
Years
Poverty alleviation
Daxigou Village, located at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, a national key scenic spot known as the "Pearl of Northeast China", is backed by the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain and close to the Tanghe Reservoir, with more than 10 undeveloped natural and cultural landscapes such as Eagle Peak, Temple Mountain and wetland.
Although the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the folk customs are simple, the products are abundant, and the scenery is beautiful, for a long time, due to the backward productive forces and the single structure of the agricultural industry, Daxigou Village has become a provincial-level poor village with lagging economic development and a large number of poor people.
In 2012, Liaoyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Liaohua) officially launched targeted poverty alleviation in Daxigou Village, and arranged backbone forces to set up a poverty alleviation team to carry out fixed-point assistance in the village at the first time.
"The people in the city said that they were from Liaohua. ”
"Look, they can't stay, they won't be able to do it for long. ”
In the face of the arrival of the team members stationed in the village, the villagers exchanged heads and ears, and most of them were skeptical.
Turning over the archives of Daxigou Village, Zhong Fubin, then the first secretary of Liaoyang Petrochemical Village, frowned: the per capita annual income of the villagers was less than 2,000 yuan, the collective economy was poor and white, the whole village basically had no characteristics and high value-added industries, and the loss of young and middle-aged labor force was serious......
The prospects for the sustainable development of the village are not optimistic. After some "diagnosis", Zhong Fubin came to a conclusion and felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders.
Only when there is mud on the soles of your feet can you have the bottom of your heart. "Fellow villager, how much land does the family have?How much income does it have in a year?" "Uncle, what specialties do we have in this mountain?" Stepping on the potholed dirt road in the village, Zhong Fubin and the team members stationed in the village walked into the fields and into the villagers' homes to visit and investigate.
The backward situation of Daxigou Village made the team members stationed in the village feel painful. Everyone made up their minds: they will do everything they can to make this ravine change.
Poverty alleviation is the first step in poverty alleviation. Combined with the work idea of "focusing on poverty alleviation and party building, and doing a good job in party building to promote poverty alleviation", Liaoyang Petrochemical has given full play to the ideological, political and educational leading role of grassroots party organizations. In 2015, after Shen Hongzhen, a veteran, returned to the village, he was developed by the village as an active member of the party. "As long as we follow the party organization, we have the confidence to live a good life!" Shen Hongzhen is determined to contribute to the revitalization of his hometown.
According to the actual situation, Liaoyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. divides the poor households in the village into four categories according to illness, education, industry and need for subsistence allowance, establishes a responsibility system for party members and cadres to help the poor and the poor, and implements the model of "technical assistance + intellectual assistance + ambition assistance + love assistance".
Aunt Song, a poor household, has been dead for many years, and has no children and no daughters. Zhong Fubin not only won the subsistence allowance for Mrs. Song, but also organized cadres stationed in the village to visit her home during the New Year's holidays, sending rice, noodles, oil and other holiday condolences and condolences money, and sometimes paid out of his own pocket to buy things for Mrs. Song.
"It's good, it's better to be Secretary Zhong, you and I are not as good as Liaohua's friendship. Aunt Song made up her own slip, said when she met someone, praised when she met someone, and was happy on her face and heart.
For the groups that are impoverished due to education, Liaoyang Petrochemical actively organizes the Golden Autumn Scholarship and Love Donation Activities, and mobilizes the party members and cadres of the enterprise to donate grants, books, stationery, clothing, etc., so that no school-age child will drop out of school due to poverty.
At the moment when he got the coveted new schoolbag and stationery and learned that he could continue to go to school, Xiao Li, a poor student, shed happy tears: "Thank you Liaohua, thank you to the kind people." I will definitely redouble my efforts and use knowledge to change the appearance of poverty in my hometown!"
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Although Daxigou Village is poor and backward, it has abundant natural resources and product resources. Combined with the resource advantages and actual situation of the village, Liaoyang Petrochemical actively communicated and coordinated with the local government, sought policy support, and tailored a diversified industrial development plan for the local area, including greenhouse vegetable planting, fish pond breeding and fishing, flower ornamental tourism, and orchard fruit picking.
With the continuous input of capital, manpower, intelligence and technology from Liaoyang Petrochemical, 32 vegetable greenhouses with a single area of 900 square meters and 5 fish ponds with an average area of 10 acres have been completed and put into use.
Shen Shuhu, a poor household in the village, was the first to sign up for a greenhouse and started grape planting, with an income of more than 30,000 yuan that year, and he was lifted out of poverty that year. He said excitedly: "There is income at the door of the house, and such a good day was unimaginable before." My daughter-in-law and I don't go out to work anymore. ”
The example of Shen Shuhu's successful poverty alleviation has made some villagers who are conservative and have the concept of "waiting, relying on, and demanding" see hope and hope. Everyone changed their passive wait-and-see attitude, actively signed up to participate in fruit and vegetable planting contracting, and joined hands to embark on the broad road of industrial poverty alleviation and hard work.
The per capita income of villagers has increased substantially. As of 2016, Liaoyang Petrochemical has helped the village collective economy increase its income by more than 100 yuan, benefiting more than 1,500 people.
"Liaohua Gang is really moving!"
"I feel like the days are getting more and more promising!"
Liaoyang Petrochemical has achieved remarkable results in industrial assistance and has been unanimously affirmed by the local people.
In 2015, Daxigou Village was rated as a provincial civilized village. In 2017, Daxigou Village eliminated poverty in one fell swoop and became a well-known national civilized village.
Year to year
Revitalize the countryside
"Auntie, how are these tomatoes selling in the village?"
"It's so good, people in the city say that the tomatoes grown in our village taste good!"
"Auntie, you must not use pesticides. ”
"Don't worry, Secretary Yu, we know that people in the city love to eat green vegetables. You won't smash the village signboard yourself. ”
In 2020, Yu Jinhai, who was a member of the village-based team, took over the baton of "first secretary" from Zhong Fubin, who was about to retire.
He wrote in his work diary in the village: "The industrial foundation of Daxigou Village is still weak, the environmental facilities need to be continuously improved, and there is still a certain gap between the ideology and relevant requirements of rural revitalization. How to solve the puzzle is an important task for me. ”
Seeing that the traditional greenhouse planting and fish pond breeding can no longer meet the growing requirements of the villagers to increase income and get rich, Yu Jinhai led the team stationed in the village to strive for assistance funds, plan to use the existing greenhouse and fish pond resources, speed up the construction of the "vegetable basket" project and fruit picking leisure tourism industry, develop fishing leisure projects, implement the transformation and upgrading of the aquaculture industry, continuously extend the industrial chain, and gradually form industrial project clustering, systematization and branding.
"In the past, I used to serve fish ponds, and I just knew that I could make money selling fish, but now it's different. The good idea given by Liaohua was to open up a fish pond for people in the city to fish. Another big chunk of income. Shen Chengchun, a villager who got rid of poverty, said happily.
"Secretary Yu, nectarines are not selling well this year, and there are still a lot of ripe peaches on the tree that have not been sold, what can I do?" One day in May 2021, Yu Jinhai suddenly received an anxious call for help from villager Shen Yi.
During the pandemic, the number of tourists plummeted, causing the sales of various products in the village to plummet.
"Resolutely not let the days when everyone just became prosperous go downhill!" Yu Jinhai immediately mobilized the team stationed in the village to communicate and coordinate with various parties, pulling nectarines and grapes to the door of the company's staff canteen, facing the majority of employees and their families, setting up stalls for sales.
"Weigh me 3 pounds of nectarines. "I want a bunch of grapes. The villagers were surprised by the sight of employees rushing to buy them.
"I know that the fruits grown in Daxigou Village are not pesticides, and I am here to support them. "A lot of employees have a half-help-half-buy mentality.
The good deeds of Liaoyang Petrochemical employees have not only opened up sales channels, but also warmed the hearts of the villagers.
In a short period of time, the village-based team organized more than 20 such sales, and helped growers sell 15,000 catties of grapes and nectarines in total. Liaoyang Petrochemical has also set up a WeChat group of "Daxigou Village Assistance and Procurement" to regularly purchase green pollution-free vegetables grown by villagers and supply them to staff canteens. Villagers can plant with peace of mind, enterprises can buy with confidence, and employees can eat comfortably.
While "blood transfusion" and "hematopoiesis" for Daxigou Village, Liaoyang Petrochemical actively raised funds and materials to improve the appearance of the village, build bridges and pave roads, control rivers, open up cultural squares, and build party building corridors. There are buses commuting to and from the entrance of the village, and you can go to the nearest convenient service hall for ordinary business, and there are street lights when you go out after dark......
Every night at half past 6 o'clock, music sounded on time in the village committee square funded by Liaoyang Petrochemical. The peasant women who worked in the fields for a day no longer had nowhere to go and nothing to do, but came in groups, accompanied by music, or twisted the cheerful Northeast Yangge, or danced the fashionable square dance in the city, showing their energetic spirit.
"Liaohua is sending us coal again. ”
"It has to be Liaohua, and I come every year. ”
On November 5, 2021, the beginning of the winter solar term is about to begin, and the temperature in Liaoyang continues to drop. Early in the morning, two large trucks full of coal came to the courtyard of the Daxigou Village Committee.
Liaoyang Petrochemical insists on sending warmth to Daxigou Village every winter, and ensures the heating of public places such as village committees, village clinics, village nurseries, and convenient service halls.
Shen Xiaofeng, secretary of the village party branch, led the villagers to send a pennant with the words "The people benefit and show the responsibility of state-owned enterprises, poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation, and rural revitalization", which is full of gratitude to Liaoyang Petrochemical.
Due to the limited medical conditions in the village, Liaoyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. coordinates with Liaoning Hospital every year, selects capable medical personnel, and goes deep into Daxigou Village many times to carry out free clinic activities, so that villagers can enjoy medical services such as basic physical examination, expert diagnosis, and health consultation for common diseases at their doorstep.
Shi Ling, an 83-year-old villager who is a beneficiary of Liaoyang Petrochemical's free clinic activities, has something to say: "I have high blood pressure and diabetes now, and my children are all in the city, so it is too difficult for me to go out to see a doctor." The doctor from Liaoning has solved my big problem!"
With the sincere help of Liaoyang Petrochemical, the villagers' sense of gain and happiness is increasing day by day. In 2020, Daxigou Village was rated as a characteristic tourist village in Liaoning Province.
This once little-known green water and green mountains have become a mountain of gold and silver rising hope.
A year of wealth
The days are hot
Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, red flags are displayed, and people are crowded...... This is not the bridge in the sketch, but the real grand occasion of the first nectarine and grape picking festival in Daxigou Village on May 8, 2021.
"These grapes are so sweet!"
"The taste of freshly picked pollution-free fruits is different!"
In the greenhouse, the tourists who participated in the picking festival were busy with their hands and boasting, eating the joy of picking by themselves and the wild fun of the fields.
On the first day of the picking festival alone, the villagers sold more than 8,000 catties of nectarines, grapes and other fruits, achieving sales income of 120,000 yuan.
In addition to offline sales, Liaoyang Petrochemical also helped the village open an e-commerce sales channel. The villagers' money bags are getting bigger and bigger, and the "family foundation" of the village collective is getting thicker and thicker.
The villagers all said: "This is the result of Liaohua's assistance and support for the collective industry of Daxigou Village." ”
On September 28, 2023, a grand forest frog industry exchange meeting kicked off in Daxigou Village. Forest frog breeding is another key enrichment project introduced by Liaoyang Petrochemical for Daxigou Village in 2020.
Forest frogs are full of treasures, and the economic benefits are extremely high, but because they have very strict requirements for the living environment, it is extremely difficult to breed them artificially.
The village-based team actively contacted the investors, explained the natural advantages of forest frog breeding in the village, and vigorously sought policy support for them, and finally realized the forest frog breeding project settled in Daxigou Village.
After several years of artificial breeding, as of the end of 2023, the number of forest frogs in Daxigou Village is as high as more than 2.6 million, ranking among the top in Liaoning Province. The first batch of adult frogs, frog oil, oral liquid, cosmetics and other deep-processed products of frogs will be put on the national market in November 2023, which not only provides jobs for more than 200 villagers, but also brings very considerable economic income to the village.
Liaoyang Petrochemical continues to broaden the idea of industrial assistance, revitalize and optimize resources, and turn ice and snow into gold and silver.
At 9:58 a.m. on January 27 this year, with the simple and warm ribbon-cutting ceremony, the 4th Folk Winter Fishing Festival of Daxigou Village officially kicked off.
Seeing the fat and strong fish flick their tails and jump out of the water, the crowd of onlookers boiled.
"Load me up with this biggest grass carp!"
"I want 5 sturgeons!"
At the winter fishing site, sales are extremely hot. The 20,000 catties of fish that came out of the water that day were snapped up by tourists from inside and outside the province.
The webcast has become the biggest highlight of this year's Winter Fishing Festival. The reporter of "China Petroleum News" "Walking at the Grassroots in the New Year" traveled thousands of miles to go deep into the winter fishing site, and carried out live broadcasts through influential network platforms such as Xinhuanet, B station, and Douyin, and more than 150,000 netizens immersed themselves in the fun of winter fishing online.
The cold weather is not "cold", Daxigou Village quickly became popular on the Internet, attracting a wave of tourists.
In addition to winter fishing, you can also enjoy the leisurely joy of ice fishing, the joy of strawberry picking, and the pleasant fun of peach blossom viewing in Daxigou Village in winter.
The ice and snow economy is on fire, the beautiful countryside is rich, and the villagers are idle in winter, and they have income all year round.
After successfully turning the "planting" in the field and the "swimming" in the water into economic benefits, Liaoyang Petrochemical has set its sights on the "long" mountain.
Daxigou Village has a mountainous area of nearly 19,000 mu and a forest coverage rate of 90%, making it a national forest village.
Liaoyang Petrochemical organized forces to go deep into the surrounding mountains and forests, investigated and strictly screened in many ways, and decided to take the villagers to deeply develop "mountain treasure" projects such as Ou Li and Daguo hazelnuts.
"Ou Li is also known as Chinese calcium fruit, which is pure natural and nutritious. The village is ready to invest in a canned food production line, and the benefits are accurate!" Shen Xiaofeng was full of confidence.
"Auntie, try not to pile up garbage in front of the door in the future. ”
"Got it, I'll clean it up right away. ”
While the material life is becoming more and more affluent, Liaoyang Petrochemical has not forgotten to lead the villagers to vigorously implement the village environmental sanitation rectification, carry out the "toilet revolution", build landscape walls, plant ornamental flowers, and realize the hardening of the road surface to the household, the greening of the village to the group, and the garbage classification to the household.
The industrial structure has been scientifically adjusted, the planting of tall crops has been reduced, the pollution caused by straw burning has been reduced, and the sky has become bluer, the mountains greener, and the water clearer.
In recent years, Daxigou Village has actively organized cultural and sports activities such as tug-of-war competitions and Yangge competitions, and carried out the selection of "good deeds and righteous deeds" to enrich the amateur cultural life of the people and promote neighborhood harmony and family harmony. The spiritual outlook of the masses has taken on a new look, and the achievements in the building of spiritual civilization have become increasingly fruitful.
We must not only be a good "doer", but also be a good "propagandist". An important task of Liu Tao, a member of the village-based work team, is to publicize Daxigou Village. He has produced a lot of influential new media works, which have been released on major online platforms to show the gratifying results of rural revitalization of Daxigou Village to the public and expand the influence of Daxigou Village.
In 2021, Daxigou Village was awarded the title of "Advanced Collective for Poverty Alleviation in Liaoning Province". In 2023, the per capita income of Daxigou Village will be 22,000 yuan, an increase of more than 10 times compared with before Liaoyang Petrochemical entered the village to help. The villagers have stronger confidence and confidence in revitalizing the countryside!
In the countryside, the abundant scenery is in sight, and the road to revitalization is sonorous. Liaoyang Petrochemical will add a new color and paint a new landscape to the revitalization of Daxigou Village, and strive to create an oil model for rural revitalization.
