Editor's Note:
With the vigorous advancement of rural revitalization steps, groups of young makers have gone to the countryside with ideas, funds and plans to find and open up their own world in the vast countryside. Their arrival has brought a new atmosphere and new ideas to the countryside, creating new opportunities for the villagers, and their avant-garde work habits and lifestyles are also subtly influencing the surrounding villagers. The "New Neighbors in the Village" column is now launched to take you to understand how these makers can use innovative thinking to change the traditional production and lifestyle of the countryside, inject new energy and vitality into rural development, and let the villagers live a richer and better life.
The old man Fu Bingsong who was playing croquet
"Boom! Good ball, hit the bar... On October 20, at the Gateball Court of Dazhou Town, Fu Bingsong, a villager in Shizishan Village, held the goalball club in his hand and swung it calmly. The small goalball ball kept rolling over, hitting the bar perfectly, and ushered in a wave of admiration from golfers.
Fu Bingsong is a member of the Dazhou Town Senior Gate Team. His previous life, in addition to completing housework, was to rub mahjong, play poker, watch TV, a little boring and empty. Later, Fu Bingsong signed up for the gate team, and the monotonous old age became rich. Now, as long as he has time, Fu Bingsong will make three or five good golfers and play three or four innings. Everyone sometimes competed fiercely, sometimes gossiped, and the relationship was very harmonious. "Playing croquet exercises both brain power and body. Some of our golfers still have a little hairy illness before, and after playing the goalball, their looks are getting better and better, looking young. Fu Bingsong was full of spring breeze.
Nowadays, more and more elderly people in Dazhou Town have put down mahjong and poker in their hands like Fu Bingsong and played croquet, and the originally monotonous and tedious life is becoming healthy and rich, becoming a unique landscape. This gratifying change stems from an enthusiastic retired veteran cadre, Li Shenghai.
Speaking of Li Shenghai, the locals all gave a thumbs up. After retirement, he returned to Cangzhou Village in Dazhou Town. Knowing that the cultural life of the elderly in the village was lacking and monotonous, he saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. By chance, with the support of the District Elderly Sports Association, Li Shenghai introduced the croquet sport into the village and formed a goalkeeping team in the village. When the team was first established, the villagers often came to the stadium to watch the game. Looking at it, everyone found that these old people who played ball were not only mentally strong and active in thinking, but also dressed generously and could go out to exchange games from time to time. Over time, more and more people have participated in this sport. "At the most, the team had more than 20 people, and there were more people involved. The villagers in the big hometown practice and play together, communicate with each other more, and the neighborhood relationship is more harmonious. Li Shenghai said.
The sport of croquet allows the elderly in the village to really experience a different old age. Everyone got together every three to five to learn their skills, go out to train, make more friends, and life became colorful. Fu Shiming, an old man in Cangnan Village, is now both a promoter and a beneficiary of the sport of croquet, "Before staying at home all day without a goal, now I want to go out with everyone to participate in croquet matches as soon as I have the opportunity, look around, and life has sustenance." ”
Little croquet, play a wonderful sunset red! Today, with the support of the Dazhou Town Party Committee Government and the District Sports Association for the Elderly, the Dazhou Town Gateball Stadium has been renovated and renovated, and the 300-square-meter stadium can be used normally at night and on rainy days, and small croquet events can be held and open to the surrounding public free of charge.
