How much will a village change in 9 years? The answer is: earth-shattering.
On February 25, Song Rui, the first secretary of the Henan Investigation Corps of the National Bureau of Statistics in Wanliushu Village, Xinyang County, received the commendation of "National Advanced Individual in Poverty Alleviation" in Beijing. The first secretary stationed in the village is the "loveliest person" in the fight against poverty, but there are very few female first secretaries like Song Rui who have been fighting continuously for nearly 9 years in the country. So far, she has been stationed in the village for more than 100 consecutive months.

Poor and scattered villages become national "filial piety demonstration villages"
"At that time, I didn't know much about poverty alleviation, so I came to a village of more than 2,400 people, and there were only two village cadres who were older in the village, and the pressure was very high." Recalling that he had just been stationed in Wanliushu Village, XiXian County, Henan Province, Song Rui smiled on the phone.
Time back to October 2012, when Crooked Willow Village had no industry, no collective income, the villagers were scattered, mahjong became popular, the village was full of garbage, and the pits and ponds stinked. Song Rui, the first secretary's newcomer, was not very popular, and even though she had a hard time winning the poverty alleviation funds, the villagers still did nothing and reached out for money.
Song Rui realized that what was more terrible than material poverty was ideological poverty. "Where there is virtue, there is wealth, and we first opened a morality lecture hall in the village." At first, there was no place to talk about it, just in the house of the village primary school, a house can sit twenty or thirty people, and then we moved the entrepreneurs and donated money to build a simple board house. We spread the 'culture of filial piety', and from time to time invite volunteers and moral models from all over the country to talk about excellent traditional culture and talk about thrift and diligence. ”
Through the selection activities of "opening lecture halls, preaching filial piety, tree filial piety, and fixing filial piety system", "good mother-in-law", "good daughter-in-law", "good villagers" and "ten filial pieties" in Crooked Willow Village, the villagers from the beginning of the wait-and-see, do not listen to the lectures, to the later seats to listen to the lectures, the positive energy of the whole village was stimulated, which laid the foundation for the next step of poverty alleviation work.
At the end of August 2014, Wanliushu Village became the 17th "Filial Piety Demonstration Village" in China. Taking this as an opportunity, Song Rui led Wanliushu Village to vigorously develop the cultural industry, organized cultural teams and singing teams to perform everywhere, organized villagers to transform idle rooms in their homes into "filial piety rooms", and received tourists from all over the world who came to visit... The hearts of the people of Crooked Willow Village are completely united.
Young people from all over the country come here
In 2015 and 2017, Song Rui was stationed in the village twice, and the villagers rushed to the village department after learning about it, and sent pennants to cry and stay. Seeing the villagers like this, Song Rui decided again and again to stay in the countryside and fight.
Preparing for the construction of poverty alleviation factories, building roads, repairing schools... Rice and shrimp breeding base, organic vegetable base, ecological plantation and other projects have followed the turn, and 7 foreign enterprises have come to Bend Willow Village to invest, which has formed a village-level poverty alleviation industrial park. In 2019, Wanliushu Village landed the seventh project in the village - e-commerce logistics park; the per capita net income of the whole village rose from less than 2,000 yuan in 2012 to 15,000 yuan, an increase of nearly 8 times; the village's collective income increased from 0 to 270,000 yuan. The former "Morality Lecture Hall" has become more colorful, and through online live broadcasts and other forms, villagers can hear the lectures of well-known scholars and experts in the country such as Jin Yinan and Mengman.

"What makes me most happy is that the young people have returned to the village. They can get 7,000 yuan a month with high salaries in the village, and the cleaning mother can also get more than 2,000 yuan a month. Now everyone in the village has a job, everyone can earn money, and there are not enough people. Song Rui told reporters that many young people from other provinces have seen the changes in Bent Willow Village from the Internet, attracted by the prospects of rural revitalization here, young people from more than 20 provinces and cities across the country such as Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Heilongjiang, Guangdong and other parts of the country are stationed here, studying here, serving the construction of the village's honest and filial piety culture, and some have been staying for more than two years.
Today, Bent Willow Village has attracted more than 170 county and municipal leaders across the country to lead the team to study, and more than 30 villages across the country have been jointly built with Bent Willow Village.

"In 2021, we are ready to 'one village with 100 villages' and drive the development of 100 villages across the country. The leaders of Ulanhot should also bring their grassroots cadres to our village to study. Crooked Willow Village provides services to them, signs a contract, is lectured by our teachers, and shared by our villagers. Song Rui said.
Set up a New Year Flag and be an "old scalper" again
In 2021, Song Rui and the villagers also set their own Flag. "First, we must improve all aspects of the research base and infrastructure to attract more children and parents to come to the village to learn traditional culture; the second is to do a good job in the e-commerce logistics park platform to help villagers sell organic agricultural products; the third is to continue to build a 'four iron' village-level cadre team to attract more young people to return to the village for development, after all, villagers are the main body of rural revitalization." Song Rui said that in 9 years, Wanliushu Village has embarked on a road of "party building leadership, cultural rejuvenation, moral education, industrial development, poverty alleviation, rural revitalization, and people's happiness", the process is difficult, but it has found a way, that is, to use culture to the hearts of the people.
Looking back on the nearly 9 years of stationed road in the village, Song Rui said that his biggest gain is to deeply understand: as long as the people are in their hearts and the masses in their hearts, they can do a good job, and the people really "have a scale in their hearts". "We can all learn no. The general secretary's speech is good, and we will do what the general secretary says, which is actually very simple. 9 years, I am now the fourth round of stationing in the village, Crooked Willow Village is my home, in this process the fastest growth, the greatest harvest is myself, the past will not, now will, the past dare not, now dare, the villagers treat me as a relative, I also treat the villagers as relatives. ”
This time to Beijing to receive commendations, Song Rui, in addition to being excited and excited, also believes that this is a new encouragement and encouragement to her. "This is not only a summary meeting, but also a mobilization meeting, rural revitalization, I am still very confident!" I and the party branch of our Bent Willow Village will do a good job as the villagers' widow cattle and the old cattle of rural revitalization. Song Rui said.
