In 2013, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the Eighteen-Hole Village, it was in the open space in front of Shi Chengfu's home that he held a discussion with village cadres and villagers, discussed with everyone the strategy of poverty alleviation and prosperity, put forward the important concept of "precision poverty alleviation" for the first time, and made important instructions of "seeking truth from facts, adapting to local conditions, categorical guidance, and accurate poverty alleviation".

Since then, "precision poverty alleviation" has moved from eighteen-hole villages to the whole country, illuminating the road to poverty alleviation in thousands of villages, sounding the clarion call of national precision poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation, and the fate of nearly 100 million poor people has changed.
The Miao village in this deep mountain has also become famous at once, becoming a popular punch card, tourists from all directions have followed, and Shi Chengfu's family has also become a must-visit place for tourists.
In 2014, Shi Chengfu's family, who saw the business opportunities to get rich, opened the first farm in the village. The youngest son, Shi Quanyou, gave up working and returned home to concentrate on business. In recent years, with the development of rural tourism, more and more tourists have come to visit, the Shi family's business is booming, and the small days are getting better and better.
Shi Quanyou earned money to marry his daughter-in-law, and is now a father of 3 children. Shi Chengfu and his wife Long Decheng also bid farewell to the hard work of most of their lives and enjoyed a comfortable and happy old age.
The simple Shi Chengfu said that he had no culture, and many words of thanks could not be said, "But I want to thank the party, thank the party..."
Seeing that Shi Quanyou made money, the village has opened more than a dozen farms, with an annual income of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, so the villagers have embarked on the "fast road" of getting rid of poverty and getting rich.
The former Eighteen-Hole Village has been in a state of poverty for a long time due to the scarcity of arable land and traffic congestion. In 2013, the villagers' per capita disposable income was only 1668 yuan. Like most poor villages, the biggest problem facing the eighteen-hole village is the lack of land, where 939 villagers from 225 households have only 0.83 mu of arable land per capita.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken poverty alleviation as the bottom-line task and landmark indicator for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, incorporated it into the overall layout of "five-in-one" and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, placed it in a prominent position in governing the country, made a series of major decisions and deployments, and organized the implementation of the largest and most powerful poverty alleviation battle in human history.
As the initiator of "precision poverty alleviation", Eighteen Caves Village bears in mind the earnest entrustment of the general secretary, puts the word "precision" here, and in accordance with the requirements of "accurate poverty alleviation targets, accurate project arrangements, accurate use of funds, accurate measures to households, accurate dispatch of people from villages, and accurate poverty alleviation results", fully stimulates the endogenous motivation of the masses, selects the industry of building a strong and rich industry, and gradually forms five major industries such as planting, miao embroidery, tourism, labor economy, and mountain spring water, firmly grasps the "cow nose" of the industrial development of "rural tourism", and vigorously develops" The tourism + n" industry has explored the "eighteen-hole model" of precise poverty alleviation, and realized the butterfly change from "deeply impoverished village" to "well-off demonstration village".
In 2020, the per capita income of the whole village reached 18,369 yuan, and the collective economic income of the village reached 1.8 million yuan.
On the battlefield of poverty alleviation, women can be seen everywhere, and they contribute to the power of "half the sky" for poverty alleviation. Shi Shunlian, the old branch secretary of the Eighteen-Hole Village, Mei Yao, chairman of the village women's federation, and Shi Linjiao, a female college student who returned to her hometown to start a business, are several typical representatives of these.
Recalling the scene when General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the village to inspect and talk cordially with everyone, Shi Shunlian, who was the secretary of the party branch of the Eighteen-Hole Village at that time, is still vividly remembered. This female village branch secretary who has served for many years has actively led the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich, devote themselves to rural revitalization, and witnessed the great changes in the eighteen-hole village.
Although Shi Shunlian, 67 years old this year, quit the "two committees" team after the change of the village "two committees" in 2014, her retirement "does not fade". With the help of the provincial, state and county women's federations, After "retirement", Shi Shunlian gathered the left-behind women in the village, organized manual skills training, and established the Eighteen-Hole Village Miao Embroidery Cooperative, encouraging and guiding them to make Miao embroidery to increase their income, opening up a new way for them to make a fortune.
At present, Mei Yao, chairman of the village women's federation, is forming a literary and art team. Eighteen-hole village has a profound Miao cultural heritage and unique Miao cultural customs, playing Miao drums, dragon dances, singing Miao songs and other national cultural activities are popular with tourists. "On the one hand, we set up a literary and art team to meet the needs of tourists to experience the folk customs of the Miao people, and on the other hand, to help women who are idle at home to increase their income." Mei Yao introduced that after a Performance of Miao Folk Customs by the Literary and Art Team, each woman can get an income of 100 yuan.

Fingertips flutter, flying needles and threads, flowers, birds, insects and fish jump on the cloth. Walking into the home of Shi Shunlian, the former secretary of the party branch of the Eighteen-Hole Village, several embroidery ladies gathered together, and the scene of stitches and threads of embroidery came into view. Shi Shunlian said that when she wanted to gather her sisters to develop the Miao embroidery industry, this idea was immediately endorsed by the poverty alleviation team in the village and the women's masses. Nowadays, the miao embroidery industry has become one of the five pillar industries of the Eighteen-Hole Village, and has become the most favored national cultural product, which increases the income of the embroidery girls and adds color to rural tourism. Miao embroidery has transformed the excellent cultural heritage resources of Xiangxi into a high-quality driving force for poverty alleviation and prosperity, realized the vivid inheritance of intangible cultural heritage projects, and fulfilled the dream of rural women in Xiangxi returning to their hometowns for employment.
