The Jinxi River is rippling with blue waves, and the green hills on the opposite bank are full of greenery.
On July 22, the reporter of "Minsheng Weekly" walked into Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Sanming City, Fujian Province, surrounded by mountains and rivers, as if he was in a beautiful landscape painting.
The villagers remember the scene 27 years ago: on April 11, 1997, Comrade Xi Jinping, then deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, came to Changkou Village for investigation. At the entrance of the village department, Comrade Xi Jinping raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw that the river was blue and green, and the green mountains were lush, and he said earnestly: "The green mountains and green waters are priceless treasures, and the mountainous areas should draw a good 'landscape painting' and do a good job in the landscape and fields." ”
Over the past 27 years, the cadres and masses of Changkou Village have kept in mind the entrustment, deeply practiced the concept of "green mountains and clear waters are priceless treasures", focused on the construction of beautiful villages, made concerted efforts to do a good job in mountains and fields, and painted a beautiful rural picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
It is like a landscape painting, and the village of Tokoguchi is often on it
Ecological priority, green development, ecological advantages into development dividends
Twenty-seven years ago, Changkou Village was a "backward village" – there was not a single spacious concrete road, few new houses, and few bright street lights.
Today, Changkou Village, with 222 households, has become a well-known "star village" - a village of 13.83 square kilometers, with a forest coverage rate of up to 92%, and has become a national 3A-level tourist attraction; The roads are spacious and tidy, the houses are scattered, and a small stream flows in front of every house, showing the dew everywhere; Lotus flowers bloom in succession, dry and wet separation garbage cans are arranged in an orderly manner, kindergartens, nursing homes, health centers, basketball courts, and swimming pools are readily available......
"Village enterprises have jointly built green mines, ecological navel orange orchards, Yunqu Mountain rafting, water Venice parks, and forest economic projects, and the village collective economic income is increasing year by year. We also built a kayak training base. Deng Wanfu, secretary of the Party branch of Changkou Village, is full of energy, "Every year, about 100,000 people come to Changkou Village for inspection, study, leisure travel, and training competitions. ”
The ecological advantages accumulated over the years have been continuously transformed into development dividends.
In the navel orange forest of Fujian Changkou Sharing Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., the navel orange trees are verdant, and the huge fruits bend the branches.
Xu Lianghui, who has many years of experience in agricultural planting and sales, went to many places to inspect the planting base, and took a fancy to the good landscape of Changkou Village at a glance. He found that the soil organic matter in Changkou Village was as high as 5.0, which was perfect for growing high-end navel oranges.
In 2019, Xu Lianghui revitalized more than 800 acres of land in the village and planted navel orange varieties such as Newhall orange and Red Beauty. "Green mountains and clear waters are called 'clear'." Xu Lianghui named the navel oranges grown here "Qingyu Orange" and registered a trademark.
"Now that we are in the fifth year of planting navel oranges, there are more than 40,000 trees in total, and we share the output value with the village, and last year we paid 1.17 million yuan in rent to the village. This year's output is about 1 million catties, and the future harvest period is expected to reach 3 million catties. Xu Lianghui said.
Technology empowers agricultural development. Recently, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the use of drones for spraying operations not only saves labor costs, but also greatly reduces the amount of pesticides used.
Xu Lianghui rented a house in Changkou Village and usually lived in the village. The son who retired from the army, navel orange plant protection, pruning, and sales are all in the field, and he works with him.
It is the peak summer tourism season, and the Yunqu Mountain Rafting Scenic Area in Changkou Village is crowded. On the 3.2-kilometer-long rafting waterway, tourists feel the coolness and excitement of hitting the waves between the cliffs and canyons, breaking through the rapids, and crossing the dangerous beach, and enjoy the ecological landscape of towering ancient trees and verdant trees along the way.
"The rafting project has been in operation since 2013, and with the fame and popularity of Changkou Village, it has brought real passenger flow." Chen Zubiao, chairman and general manager of Fujian Jiangleyun Qushan Rafting Co., Ltd., said, "We have adopted the cooperative method of total income commission on behalf of rent, and paid more than 200,000 yuan to the village last year, and the labor is all Changkou villagers, bringing about 300,000 yuan of salary income to the villagers every year." ”

Zhang Linshun has always engraved Comrade Xi Jinping's entrustment that "green mountains and clear waters are priceless treasures". When Comrade Xi Jinping came to Changkou Village in 1997 for research, Zhang Linshun was the commander of the village militia battalion.
Zhang Linshun often brings up a past incident. When he was the head of the village committee, a company came to his door and offered 200,000 yuan to cut down the forest on the other side of the old village. At that time, the village had "can't open the pot" in the account, and the temptation of 200,000 yuan was not small, and the village cadres held a meeting to discuss, but finally gritted their teeth and refused.
"If you cut down all the trees, you won't be able to grow them back for many years. You can't make money for a while, ruining the mountain for future generations. Zhang Linshun said.
Keep in mind the entrustment, protect the lucid waters and green mountains, and make the gold and silver mountains bigger.
"You can get rich without cutting down trees." Changkou Village strives to do a good job in "mountain" articles, and actively implements afforestation and greening, and closes mountains for afforestation. The village has deepened the reform of the collective forest tenure system, carried out "village-enterprise cooperation", and joined hands with Fujian Jinsen Group to implement forest carbon sequestration afforestation and other projects, so as to steadily increase the rental income of forest land.
On May 18, 2021, the first batch of forestry carbon tickets in the country was issued in Sanming City, and Changkou Village received the country's first forestry carbon ticket numbered "0000001", becoming the "first village of carbon tickets" in China. The villagers benefited more than 140,000 yuan.
Serve the "ecological bowl" and eat the "ecological rice".
Twenty-seven years ago, the per capita annual income of Changkou Village was only more than 2,000 yuan, and the annual income of the village collective was less than 30,000 yuan. Although they have good mountains and rivers, the villagers cannot get rid of poverty and become rich.
In 2023, the per capita net income of Changkou Village villagers will reach 33,000 yuan, and the collective economic income of the village will reach 2.15 million yuan, an increase of more than 10 times and 70 times respectively compared with 1997.
In the old Cao Tu restaurant, the owner Yang Chunfu was busy. "Over the years, Changkou Village has become more and more beautiful, there are more and more tourists from all over the world, and the business of local restaurants has become more and more prosperous." Yang Chunfu said. At the beginning of this year, Yang Chun's rich family was awarded the 2023 "Ten Star Evaluation" of the "Ten Stars Evaluation" of the top households for hard work and prosperity. As early as 1989, Changkou Village carried out the mass spiritual civilization creation activity of "creating ten stars and evaluating ten households", which has been persisted in until now.
Changkou Village, which vividly proves the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" with its own development process, built a "Two Mountains School" last year.
The "Liangshan Academy" is invested and constructed by Fujian Provincial Tourism Development Group, aiming to build Changkou Village into a research and education base for practicing Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and practicing and promoting ecological civilization experience.
"Up to now, the 'Two Mountains Academy' has received a total of 233 classes of various training courses and 16,128 trainees. The Sanming Ecological Civilization Construction Practice Theme Pavilion has received a total of 918 batches of visitors and 27,530 people. Yang Yong, director of the office of the "Two Mountains School", introduced.

Create a tea culture street to promote the integrated development of culture and tourism
"The general secretary came to my house 27 years ago and drank tea for the first time. I hope that the general secretary will have the opportunity to come to Changkou Village again to see the great changes now. Qiu Caili, 62 years old this year, said with a smile on his face.
In the most conspicuous position in the living room of Qiu Caili's house, there is a precious photo hanging, which records the scene of Comrade Xi Jinping drinking tea with the villagers back then.
On March 10, 2019, when General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Fujian delegation at the second session of the 13th National People's Congress, Zhang Linshun, a representative of the National People's Congress and then secretary of the Party branch of Changkou Village, mentioned the past of the general secretary drinking tea at Qiu Caili's house. And sesame seeds, tea, orange peel ......"
General Secretary Xi Jinping inquired in detail about the environmental sanitation renovation and toilet renovation in Changkou Village, and asked Zhang Linshun to greet the villagers on his behalf, and once again instructed: "To speed up the development of the old Soviet area, we must have a long-term vision and do more articles on the coordination and promotion of economic development and ecological protection." ”
Zhang Linshun, who has been a village cadre in Changkou Village since 1994, has worked in the village for 27 years. In 2021, Zhang Linshun went to work in Gaotang Town, Jiangle County, as the deputy mayor.
Due to the increase in the number of tourists visiting and studying in Changkou Village, Qiu Caili renovated and upgraded his own courtyard and opened a teahouse. Visitors can learn the knowledge of making tea and experience the process of making tea first-hand.
Sesame, tea, tangerine peel, Chinese herbal medicine, put these ingredients in the bowl grinding, after the ingredients are pureed, add boiling water to brew and stir, the food and boiling water are fully integrated, the faint tea fragrance is accompanied by the aroma of sesame seeds and tangerine peel, and a bowl of tea is ready.
The women of Changkou Village have participated in the development of the courtyard economy, built a tea experience hall, and the village took advantage of the situation to create a tea culture street.
In the 2023 "Ten Star Evaluation of Ten Households", Qiu Cailijia was rated as a "leading household in learning and education".
In Changkou Village, a red talent list is posted, and the information of 155 students who have gone out of Changkou Village is displayed one by one, including the names of their parents, graduated from colleges, and their workplaces. As the only doctoral student in the village, Qiu Caili's son is impressively listed.
"There are rewards for being on the list, and the talent list is updated once a year. The reason for this is to make parents feel pressured and children motivated. The village should attach importance to education, and if the pocket is rich, the head must also be rich. Zhang Linshun sighed.
Changkou Village relies on a good ecological environment to grow navel oranges to increase income and enrich the people
The road of green development is getting wider and wider, and the more delicious the "ecological rice" is
"There are such big changes in Changkou Village because General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the correct development direction for us back then-ecological industrialization and industrial ecology." Zhang Linshun said that to protect the ecology, the green development road of Changkou Village is getting wider and wider, and the more "ecological rice" is eaten, the more fragrant it is.
Zhang Linshun said that Changkou Village formulated village development plans three times in 1999, 2012 and 2018, and has experienced the development stages of socialist new countryside construction, home cleaning actions, comprehensive improvement of the rural environment, and rural revitalization, and the village has taken on a new look.
The village is changing with each passing day: the Changshang Lake Ecological Protection and Restoration Project has been implemented to promote the ecological governance of the whole region; Implement rural domestic sewage treatment, provide clean water toilets to every household, carry out pilot projects for rural garbage classification, and take the lead in realizing natural gas into villages and households; Transform and upgrade the landscape of street lights, implement the renovation of house facades, and build public activity venues such as landscape squares and children's outdoor playgrounds; The spring water of Houshan Mountain is introduced into the village to form a garden-style village with a garden in the village, water in the garden, and flowers in the water......
After the natural gas enters the village, the villagers no longer go into the mountains to cut firewood, and they can also enjoy the preferential treatment of 70% of the gas fee, and the village collective economy "pays".
"Give me a cell and give you back a forest." In the Jinshuo Cell Breeding Center of Wan'an Town, Jiangle County, the hybrid tulipwood cell seedling technology that won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2016 was implemented here, and the main product is the hybrid tulip with the reputation of "Chinese tulip".
Liu Peng, head of Fujian Jinshuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd., introduced that the advantages of hybrid tulipwood are fast-growing, high density, high-end furniture materials, and can also purify the air, and the company's current annual production capacity reaches 20 million.
"The seedlings are exported to Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shandong and other places, and in the Changshang Lake ecological protection and restoration project, we have planted a lot of metasequoia and hybrid tulipwood near Changkou Village." Pointing to the tall and straight hybrid tulipwood in the breeding center, Liu Peng said.
Over the years, Sanming has always practiced the important concepts of "green mountains and green waters are priceless treasures" and "green waters and green mountains are invaluable assets", and made every effort to create "green Sanming", and the good ecological environment has become a beautiful city business card.
This national forest city has maintained more than 98% of the days with good air quality in the urban area, and is a veritable "green capital of China".
