The sea laughed and gushed tides on both sides of the strait.
The Jiujiang River in the South China Sea, which is about to enter the Year of the Ox, ushered in an important day today: the Yuanlin Commercial Building broke ground. The foundation stone of the tallest building in the west of the South China Sea, invested and built by a famous township sage in Jiujiang, is undoubtedly the loudest "mountain cannon" in Jiujiang in 2021. Behind this major project are three major symbols: the reshaping of Jiujiang's urban form, the revitalization of Jiujiang's commercial culture, and the re-voting of Jiujiang Capital and Jiujiang villagers on their hometowns. From these three dimensions, Yuanlin Commercial Building is not only a charge of jiujiang new year, but also a turning point in the development of jiujiang.
Xu Yongqiang, secretary of the Jiujiang Town Party Committee, likened Jiujiang to an eagle that spent 15 years replacing degraded pecks, claws and feathers. This metaphor conveys the image of God - the most thrilling thing about everything in the world may be the transformation of the eagle: first hit the rock with a peck, let the peck fall off completely, and wait for a new peck to grow. Then use the new peck to pluck out one of his feathers one by one, waiting for the new feathers to grow again. Finally, I have to pull out my claws one by one and wait for the new claws to grow...
Jiujiang is such an "eagle": enduring the torment of dripping blood, heavy pressure hovering at a low altitude, many people think it will not be able to fly... This difficult and painful process has been completed, and the Eagle of the Nine Rivers, which was reborn in Nirvana, took off again today. The bright South China Sea sky has a dazzling scenery of the Jiujiang River.
Jiujiang is famous for its water and also thrives on it.
The West and North Rivers flowing south to the sea flow through here, and jiujiang has thus become the starting point for the South China Sea people to "look at the world to the ocean", and it can be considered that a South China Sea that went to the world was first led by the Jiujiang people. As early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiujiang had the reputation of "Little Guangzhou". The location of the river to the sea has achieved the historical status of the Jiujiang River in the era of water transport.

Jiujiang, where merchants gathered since ancient times, not only gave birth to the broad and profound business culture of Jiujiang, but also shaped the adventurous character of Jiujiang people to break into the world. Today's Jiujiang is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in China, with more than 200,000 Jiujiang villagers distributed in more than 60 countries and regions around the world. No matter where they are, they are proud of their hometown and always have the affection of green leaves for their roots.
Jiujiang produced good wine, making countless people drunk at the doorstep of their homes. Many overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, when they are homesick, drink a mouthful of "Jiujiang double steaming" - this is their nostalgia. In Havana, the capital of distant Cuba, I met a group of Jiujiang people who burst into tears when they talked about Jiujiang rice wine. The story they told struck me: when an old man from Jiujiang, who lived in Cuba, died, his lips were always trembling, and people thought that he wanted to say something and make a final account, and it was still the same for days and nights. Later, someone dipped a cotton swab in a little hometown rice wine on his lips, and the old man quickly smiled and fell asleep forever...
In this world, where there are Jiujiang people, there is such a Jiujiang complex: thousands of rivers and rivers, not as good as the Jiujiang in the South China Sea!
Jiujiang people are very smart, as far as reading is concerned, today's South China Sea, the most able to read are Jiujiang people. Nanhai Junior High School is in the middle school examination, and Jiujiang's on-line rate has won the "sixteen consecutive championships". Such a situation is very similar to the World Dragon Boat Race, as long as the Jiujiang team plays, the ownership of the champion is basically no suspense, because few people can paddle faster than the Jiujiang people.
Jiujiang is the "hometown of Rulin" and an important cultural vein of the South China Sea, and Zhu Ciqi has made great contributions.
At the Jiujiang Guild Hall in San Francisco, usa, there is a statue of Zhu Ciqi standing on the shrine, next to the inscriptions of Sun Yat-sen and Kang Youwei. This is the respect and courtesy of the jiujiang people for "Mr. Zhu Jiujiang".
Zhu Ciqi, who was only admitted to the jinshi at the age of 41, did not have a high official position, but he made great contributions to his hometown. Returning to his hometown from other provinces, Zhu Ciqi lectured in Jiujiang for more than 20 years, bringing out apprentices such as Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Jian Chaoliang, Huang Jie, Liang Yaoshu, and Huang Luyi, forming the "Jiujiang School" that is in the annals of history and has a far-reaching influence.
The Jiujiang School is characterized by its application through the ages, its opposition to empty talk, and its promotion of China's academic atmosphere from mental to practical learning. This is an important milestone in the cultural history of Lingnan, which has made Jiujiang famous all over the world, and has also made Foshan a "humanistic country with two broad standards".
The sages are gone, and history has gone away, but Zhu Ciqi and the Jiujiang School, who advocated practical learning, shaped and laid the spiritual temperament and business beliefs of the Jiujiang people: reality, hard work, industry, and substance.
Every outbreak in Jiujiang is such a cultural lightning bolt.
Jiujiang is a place name and a landmark.
In history, there has been a saying that "Jiujiang does not recognize the south", which is not that Jiujiang people have an "independent" tendency, but that Jiujiang people do not need to talk about "Jiujiang in the South China Sea" in their place of origin, as long as they talk about "Jiujiang". It can be seen that Jiujiang has a great popularity at home and abroad.
At the end of 2020, Foshan Sangyuanwei was officially selected as the 2020 World Irrigation Engineering Heritage, and the whole territory of Jiujiang is in Sangyuanwei. Turning to the Jiujiang local history, a hundred years ago in May, there is a record of the "Mulberry Garden Siege Rout", and each rout means that the lives and properties of many Jiujiang people disappear in the monstrous waves.
Sangyuanwei is one of the largest jiwei water conservancy projects in ancient China. Behind this world-class legend stands a hero Jiujiang who made great sacrifices and made great contributions.
Jiujiang is the forerunner of reform and opening up in the South China Sea, and it is also the first place to become rich. In the historical change from the "Agricultural South China Sea" to the "Industrial South China Sea", Jiujiang has created many "firsts" and contributed a lot of valuable experience.
There are many Jiujiang people in Hong Kong, and Jiujiang is the first place in the South China Sea to have passenger ships directly through Hong Kong. In the 1980s, Jiujiang people were the most fashionable South China Sea people, from dress, speech and demeanor, to the way of thinking, they all led the trend of the South China Sea, defined the fashion of the South China Sea, and mastered the wind direction of the South China Sea. The small village of Lanchang became the richest village in the South China Sea at that time for making a can of daily gold bucket and a blockbuster.
In January 1987, mr. Qin Mu, a famous prose writer, lived in Jiujiang for three days from Guangzhou and wrote a famous essay "The Colorful Colors of a Town". Qin Mu said: There is a Jiujiang river in Jiangxi, which is a famous prefecture-level city at the foot of Lushan Mountain; Guangdong also has a Jiujiang, which is only a town under the county, and I have visited both places.
A town is comparable to a prefecture-level city, which is the glory and legend of Jiujiang.
Jiujiang started well, but then took a detour.
The Jiujiang River in the water road era was full of water, which made Jiujiang, who was accustomed to "taking the water road", not know how to "take the dry road", and the heart became entangled and flustered, resulting in the phenomenon of "emergency and chaos for medical treatment" occurred repeatedly. Some people are keen to take shortcuts and make quick money, which has damaged the healthy development of Jiujiang's economy and made Jiujiang pay a heavy price: from the "forward" of the South China Sea to the "defender" of the South China Sea. Where is the road ahead? Jiujiang fell into a daze...
Over the years, Jiujiang has frequently changed generals, and wave after wave of South China Sea cadres have been sent to Jiujiang for only one purpose: to revitalize Jiujiang's mighty style.
What is the problem with Jiujiang? Yan Haobo, member of the Standing Committee of the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Nanhai District PARTY Committee, said bluntly: urban development is not focused, and the industrial system is not perfect. That's a very sharp one. Gu Yaohui, the mayor of Nanhai District, has rushed to Jiujiang many times to find ways, find a way out and find resources with Jiujiang cadres.

Nanhai is an experimental zone for the reform and innovation of urban-rural integration development in Guangdong Province, and Jiujiang has volunteered to serve as a pioneer zone for the integrated development of urban and rural areas in the Nanhai District. How to be a good pioneer zone? Jiujiang's first answer is industry first: to build the country's most influential medical and health industry agglomeration highland, a national "pan-home" industrial cluster base, "China's freshwater fish seed industry famous town" and "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area high-quality aquaculture demonstration zone"; followed by the environment first: Jiujiang should become the cleanest and cleanest environment in the South China Sea, the cleanest and most beautiful place in the river gushing water network, and make a demonstration and example for the ecological integration of urban and rural areas in the South China Sea.
This is Jiujiang's statement and positioning, and it is also Jiujiang's choice and action.
The upgrading of the village-level industrial park is the "number one project" in the South China Sea, and a remarkable demonstration project is the upgrading of the Jiujiang metal materials market, which is the "No. 1 project" of Jiujiang.
This metal materials market was launched in 2008, when the concept was to rely on Jiujiang Wharf to make a national steel logistics market, and also reached a tacit understanding with the bosses of Shunde Lecong steel market. Seeing that this "cooked duck" was about to fly, Shunde of course did not do it, so he intervened to block it, and as a result, Jiujiang's good deeds were yellow. The well-spoken steel logistics market ended up being turned into warehouses for metal materials, with negligible taxes and roads crushed to pieces by heavy trucks.

With the strong support of the Nanhai District Government, Jiujiang has made a fierce move to transform this low-end metal material market with harsh environment into a "Jiujiang International Industrial Community", and strive to build five theme parks of high-end medical and health products, new materials, advanced equipment manufacturing, green smart home and big health. At present, Lin's wood intelligent dispatching center, Japan's Toray spunbond non-woven fabric, Toray water treatment film has been stationed, the United States United Minerals, Jinsanfa high-end medical and health projects and other high-quality projects will also be settled. This contiguous industrial platform with a total area of 8,000 mu is an important fulcrum for the high-quality development of the South China Sea, and its "international" story is about to be told.
This is the epitome of the changes in Jiujiang, and it is also the symbol of Jiujiang's voyage.
Jiujiang Distillery has always been jiujiang's number one taxpayer, and this position has recently been replaced by Bidford. The reason why Jiujiang has become the only town street in the South China Sea to achieve positive tax growth in 2020 is indispensable.
A sudden epidemic has made Bidefu, who produces masks and protective clothing, make a lot of money. It is not so much that it is blessed with good luck as it is that it is said that it will be blessed with vision. Opportunities are always for those who are prepared.
The bosses of Bidefu are two entrepreneurs from farmers in Shatou, Jiujiang, who entered the industry because of their judgment of the market prospects. At first, they did a lot of hard work, did not make any big money, during which there were many opportunities and temptations to change careers to make money, but they were not distracted and unmoved. The outbreak of SARS in 2003 attracted people's attention.

In the early spring of 2020, the Wuhan defense war began, and the country thought of Bidefu for the first time: within three days, 2,000 sets of protective clothing were provided to aid Wuhan, and Bidefu completed this 100,000 urgent task as scheduled. Since then, Bidefu has worked overtime day and night, and the products have gone from China to the world.
Perhaps BWF's greatest contribution to Jiujiang is not taxation, but forging a strong non-woven industrial chain for Jiujiang. In recent years, Jiujiang has set up a vigorous and strong investment team to lobby and strive for domestic and foreign upstream and downstream industries to gather in Jiujiang. Today's Jiujiang is already a state-level non-woven fabric town, Jiujiang to create the country's most influential medical and health industry gathering highland, not a whim, but a natural success.
Humanity is destined to fight the pandemic. At the critical moment, Jiujiang can save lives.
Jiujiang is not small, but excluding the water part, Jiujiang should be regarded as the town with the least land area in the South China Sea. It is certainly unrealistic to engage in a lot of high-tech enterprises in this space, and Jiujiang's resources cannot support such ideals and blueprints.
Jiujiang is very down-to-earth, but also very practical, the biggest performance is to insist on doing a good job of furniture, raising good fish, their approach is to innovate on the basis of inheritance.
In the territory of Chinese furniture manufacturing, Foshan plays an important role, and the important fulcrum is composed of the Jiujiang River in the South China Sea and the Longjiang River in Shunde and Lecong. Looking at the world, this furniture industry belt known as "Longjiang Le" is also world-class. As the main member of "Longjiang Le", Jiujiang will not give up the traditional advantageous industry of furniture, and will not abandon its own martial arts.

Fish farming is a strong point passed down from generation to generation by the people of Jiujiang, and it is also a legend that Jiujiang has never fallen. Jiujiang fish species are the best in the country and are in short supply. Not to mention Guangdong, but today's Beijing market, a third of freshwater fish come from Jiujiang. Jiujiang people are good at raising fish, but also very good at eating fish, Jiujiang fish raw is a Fine Cantonese cuisine, Jiujiang people fishing, killing fish, eating fish are very ritualistic, a look to know that it is ancestral.
Chinese's rice bowl must be firmly held in his hands at all times. If Chinese's rice bowl has Jiujiang fish at any time, such a China will be happy.
Doing a good job of furniture and raising fish is jiujiang's commitment and jiujiang's determination. To defend history to create history, such a Jiujiang is what China needs.
Rely on water to draft water. Keeping the ecology and protecting the water quality, Jiujiang has done a very good job.
The Jiujiang River faces the North River in the east and the West River in the west. Today, there are five water inlets around the Jiujiang River, which supply the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. How to send a river of clear water out, this is the huge location responsibility of Jiujiang. The reason why Today's Jiujiang has become the only town street in the South China Sea without black and odorous water bodies is because Jiujiang is the most vigorous, the most resolute attitude and the most thorough action in the South China Sea.
Jiujiang is water, with the water to the bay, ten thousand folds and east is her character; Jiujiang is an eagle, spreading its wings and soaring, through the clouds and breaking through the fog is her energy. A long-sailing Jiujiang, nothing can stop it. Raising a glass to the moon, the world is greeting a Jiujiang with unlimited scenery.
The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken. We hope that the "Jiujiang Dragon Boat" will be rowed faster.
