Unique Miao stilt house architecture, native Miao sisters, handmade batik and silver jewelry, blowing lusheng and dancing Miao family dance... Walk into mengwu Miao Village on the outskirts of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County in Liuzhou City, which is an ecological village full of Miao charm for poverty alleviation and relocation, inhabited by 14 households and a total of 53 Miao compatriots. They are all poor households relocated from Jindong Village in Gandong Township, and the government has moved their homes in the 90,000 mountains as they are, so that they can increase their income and become rich at the doorstep of their homes while remembering their homesickness and integrating into urban life. Nowadays, this village with unique Miao style has become a popular tourist punch card.
There are 12 ethnic groups in our district, such as Zhuang, Han, Yao and Miao. "To build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, no nation can be left behind." General Secretary Xi Jinping's deep concern for ethnic minority areas has inspired the people of all ethnic groups in the region to work hard. Through joint efforts, by the end of 2020, Guangxi has achieved 6.34 million poor people in Lika to get rid of poverty, 5379 poor villages to all listed, 54 poverty-stricken counties to remove their hats, of which 3.765 million people of the ethnic minorities in Lika have been lifted out of poverty, the Maonan ethnic group has lifted the entire ethnic group out of poverty in advance, and ethnic minorities such as Yao, Miao, Dong, and Mulao have completely solved the problem of absolute poverty, and fulfilled the solemn promise of "no one on the road to poverty alleviation, and no ethnic group can be less" as scheduled.

Industrial development enriches the people
"Nine ladders in one mile", this saying describes the peaks of Maonan Autonomous County in Hechi City, lin Mao Valley, and also tells the dilemma of poor infrastructure and difficulty in developing industries in the karst mountainous area where Huanjiang is located.
As the birthplace and main settlement of the Maonan ethnic group, Huanjiang is the only Maonan Autonomous County in the country, which is also one of the state-level poverty-stricken counties and one of the deeply impoverished counties in Guangxi due to historical, natural and geographical factors. At the end of 2015, there were 64,500 Maonan people in the county, of which 14,700 were poor in Lika, accounting for 22.07% of the poor population.
No matter how great the difficulties, they did not overwhelm the Maonan masses. They started in difficulties, developed in innovation, and used their own advantages to vigorously develop industries such as breeding and breeding, and successfully knocked on the door of poverty alleviation. In May 2020, Huanjiang withdrew from the sequence of poverty-stricken counties, and the Maonan ethnic group achieved poverty alleviation for the entire ethnic group.
Mowing, stewardship, watering... On October 26, tan Meichun, a poverty alleviation household who took the lead in writing a letter to General Secretary Xi Jinping to report on the good news of poverty alleviation, was busy in the citrus planting base of Bochuan Village in Nanxiang, Huanjiang Xianan Township. "In recent years, the fruit planting has been good, and our money bags have also been inflated." In the past, Tan Meichun's family of five struggled to survive by planting corn, earning only a few hundred yuan per month. Later, through the development of the citrus planting industry, she not only achieved poverty alleviation, but also led 26 families to get rich together. At the beginning of this year, she was elected deputy secretary of the party branch and deputy director of the village committee of Bochuan Village.
After poverty alleviation, the Maonan people have always kept in mind the entrustment of General Secretary Xi Jinping, continued to struggle, consolidated and expanded the achievements of poverty alleviation, and taken solid steps in the new journey of rural revitalization.
In the past year, Huanjiang has worked hard to cultivate brands of local characteristic agricultural products and drive the Maonan people to develop industries. Nowadays, Huanjiang has created 3 provincial-level modern agricultural demonstration zones such as 10,000 mu of oil tea, and has been identified by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs as 27 "three products and one standard" agricultural products, driving the planting of 268,000 mu of characteristic fruits and oil tea in the county; giving full play to the advantages of "China's high-quality cocoon silk production base", the county's high-yield mulberry garden planting reached 198,000 mu, and the annual income of sericulture farmers was 1.113 billion yuan. At present, MaonanShan Township has a thriving industry and beautiful countryside, and the days of the masses are getting more and more prosperous.
Employment and entrepreneurship anmin
On October 21, walking into the production workshop of Guangxi Rongshui Chenyang Wood Industry Co., Ltd., the reporter saw the workers busy walking through, and there was a hot scene everywhere.
In December 2018, the company entered the Guangdong-Guangdong Poverty Alleviation Cooperation Industrial Park by leasing a standard factory building, mainly producing ecological solid wood boards, fir core decorative materials and multi-layer board decoration processing. In April 2019, the company officially put into production and absorbed a number of poor households with established archives for employment.
Over the past two years, Chenyang Wood has developed into a well-known timber enterprise in the country, and the company has expanded its production scale and driven more local people to employment. "The company has more than 1,000 employees, of which there are more than 200 poor households with a record of lika, and the average salary is about 3,800 yuan." Chen Liang, chairman of the company, said that the company will strive to further expand the scale and let more local people benefit from industrial development.
Mao Huanmei, who moved from Maotan Village in Yongle Town to Rongshui Miaojia Town, worked in Chenyang Wood nearby through the help and contact of the government. "I have worked in the company for more than a year, and I can get more than 4,000 yuan per month, which greatly alleviates the economic pressure." Mao Huanmei said that the stable income makes the family more comfortable.
According to statistics, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Guangxi has accumulated 3.735 million new rural labor transfer jobs, more than 2 million new jobs in cities and towns, and the registered unemployment rate in cities and towns has been controlled within 3%.
The tree is 1450 years old, 25 meters high, the canopy covers an area of 2.3 acres, the chest diameter is 4.2 meters, and it takes 10 adults to hug... In The village of Chankou in Liangkou Township, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Liuzhou City, there is a thousand-year-old banyan tree that is regarded by the villagers as a "tree god". "The grandeur of the ancient banyan tree, as well as the unique Dong embroidery, Doye, Lusheng and other Dong folk culture, are worth developing." Liao Juan, the head of Sanjiang Chengyangqiao Travel Agency, happened to pass through Chankou Village by chance and fell in love with it.
With the help of the government, Liao Juan set up a company to sign a tourism development agreement with the local village committee and villagers to build this ancient Dong village into a 3A scenic spot. The scenic spot also set up a performance team, and the villagers wrote and directed their own Dong folk songs and dances for tourists, and each person could earn 100 yuan per day, solving the employment of nearly 20 poor households.
"The company also signed contracts with 30 farmers (scenic land) to give 6 yuan per ticket income to the masses." Liao Juan said that entrepreneurship has driven the masses to increase their income and become rich, and she thinks it is worth it.
Social security for the benefit of the people
"There are many rocks in the mountains, so you can climb the slope when you go out." Longlin Autonomous County of Baise City is a multi-ethnic area, and many poor people once lived in high mountainous areas that lack land, roads, water, and electricity. In September 2016, Longlin combined the work of poverty alleviation and relocation, urbanization construction, and industrial development, so that the poor people could "go down the mountain and go to the city" and seek new breakthroughs in poverty alleviation work in the mode of urban-rural integration.
In the eager expectation of the masses, hecheng New District, the largest relocation site for poverty alleviation in Longlin with a planned area of 1053.6 mu, "broke through the cocoon into a butterfly" in March 2018, with new buildings neatly arranged, kindergartens, primary schools, banks and other community supporting facilities... Convenient transportation, beautiful environment, the masses have relocated. Up to now, the community has lived in 3372 households with a total of 14606 people.
"Thank you to the party and the government." Zhang Zhengfen, who moved from Wuchong Village in Jinzhongshan Township to Hecheng New District, has been living in the mountains before, relying on corn and sugar cane to make a living. Today, she has recently worked in the poverty alleviation workshop, and the family's life is full of taste.
In order to solve the problems of "difficult to see a doctor" and "expensive to see a doctor" of the county and township masses, so that the disease can be effectively solved, Liuzhou City explored the "Three Rivers Model" of the construction of the medical federation. On New Year's Day 2019, Liuzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital set up the first health poverty alleviation ward in Sanjiang Guyi Town Health Center, and the poor patients admitted to the ward were reimbursed by proportional medical insurance by 95%, and the remaining 5% was raised by the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital and the Sanjiang Branch of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital. What makes the masses happier is that the health poverty alleviation ward is appointed by the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital as the director of the ward.
Yang Apo, who lives in Guyi Town, has gone out to the big hospital many times to seek medical treatment due to illness, which has put the family that is not rich in trouble. Since there is a huimin ward at the doorstep of the home, the problem of Yang Apo's medical treatment has been solved, and she can also enjoy the policy of benefiting the people. "The level of medical care has improved, the cost has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to run away." Yang Apo sighed.
Everything is leisurely, and the people's livelihood is great. Nowadays, the happy life of learning and teaching, earning from hard work, treating the sick, providing for the elderly, and living and living has made the beautiful vision of a well-off life for the people of all ethnic groups in the region become a reality.
