【Common prosperity on the road】
Guangming Daily reporter Wang Jianhong and Zhang Wenpan
In late autumn and October, temperatures in northwest China plummeted to zero degrees Celsius. In hongsibao, Wuzhong City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the largest centralized resettlement area for ecological resettlement in the country, it is a fiery scene: hunan Xiangtou new energy equipment manufacturing Ningxia Industrial Park with a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan has started construction, which will introduce photovoltaic, wind power, hydrogen energy, energy storage and other industries, build a national smart zero-carbon new energy equipment manufacturing industry demonstration park with an annual output value of 3 billion yuan, and further consolidate the industrial foundation for the development of immigrant areas. This is an important stroke written since the implementation of the Ningxia Million Immigrants Wealth Enhancement Action this year.
Since 1983, Ningxia has relocated a total of 1.23 million people from Xihaigu, which is deep in the mountains and ravines, in 6 stages, which is 1/6 of the population of the whole region and 1/3 of the rural population of Ningxia. In a provincial administrative region, such a large-scale and high proportion of population migration is also very rare in history.
"Getting rid of poverty is only the first step, and for immigrants with thin families, weak foundations and low starting points, the next step is to move towards common prosperity, which is no less difficult than moving out of the ravine." Chen Run'er, secretary of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region CPC Committee, said: Ningxia has carried forward the fighting spirit of "Kurama before it has stopped and then marched out," constantly met the needs of the masses of all ethnic groups for higher incomes, better education, better medical care, and a more beautiful environment, and implemented the four major actions of "getting rich by millions of immigrants," "income of urban and rural residents," "quality of basic education," and "health level of the whole people," making it an effective carrier for Ningxia to promote coordinated regional development and achieve common prosperity.
In the action of promoting the enrichment of millions of migrants, Ningxia has established a working mechanism to lead the key villages in key counties, comprehensively sort out 261 resettlement villages with more than 1,000 people in the whole region, and identify 101 resettlement villages with large scale, many difficulties, and weak foundations as key villages, 20 of which are grasped by provincial leaders, and 81 by party and government leaders at the prefectural and municipal levels. The remaining 160 are grasped by counties and townships, and the responsibilities are clearly defined one-on-one.
"Hongsi Fort is creating a national demonstration area for relocating immigrants to get rich and improve. Since the beginning of this year, the village has mobilized the masses, organized volunteer workers and public welfare personnel to carry out environmental governance, renovated forest belts, planted fruit forests, and removed straw and hay that were piled up randomly. At the Hongde Village History Museum in Hongsibao District, Hai Xiaorong, a villager who also serves as a docent, said.
In Pingluo County, Shizuishan City, in the north of Ningxia, many Xihaigu people have integrated into the original villages in the form of "flower arrangement immigrants", planting land that local farmers who have voluntarily withdrawn from the city, living in idle farmhouses, and overnight becoming Sichuan people.
In a crisp little sheep barking, Yan Yongping, a migrant from Luqu Village, Baofeng Town, who immigrated from Xiji County, skillfully fed, cleaned, and delivered... Since 2019, with the help of the government, Yan Yongping has taken out a loan to buy 100 lake sheep and earned more than 100,000 yuan that year. "This kind of sheep has many lambs, and it multiplies very quickly, and hundreds of sheep, at every moment, are likely to give birth to lambs, and they cannot be separated from people." Yan Yongping happily told "troubles".
"By checking the shortcomings and weaknesses of the resettlement areas, we have highlighted the six key points of industrial employment assistance, supporting infrastructure, improving public services, rectifying the living environment, improving the security system, and promoting the construction of civilization, pulling out the list of problems village by village, studying and solving measures one by one, and listing implementation plans year by year, and the action of improving the prosperity of millions of immigrants is being promoted in an orderly manner." Xu Haining, director of the Rural Revitalization Bureau of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, said.
