In the eyes of Zhang Xueqiang, a post-90s villager, "more money, less things, and close to home" is the most perfect working state, but what he did not expect was that he had been working hard for many years, and his "ideal" was actually realized in Jialanban Village, a new urban area of his hometown.
As an ancient village under the Daqing Mountains, Jialanban was first formed during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Adjacent to the provincial highway in the south, bordering the 10,000 acres of grassland in the north, the "net red village" in the east, and the Jialanban village in the university town in the west, at the beginning of April this year, it was still an ordinary northern village, maintaining its usual quiet and quaint, and the villagers lived peacefully but plainly. On June 25, the Matouqin Grassland Cultural Industrial Park was put into trial operation, and the quiet village became lively, and Zhang Xueqiang also returned to his hometown at this time and started his part-time work career of "going out to work".
"I used to earn a lot of money from working in the city, but the cost was not big, and I couldn't take care of my family." Zhang Xueqiang told reporters, "Later, I saw that the village was getting better and better every day, and over the years, the whole village has been transformed one after another and improved the lives of our villagers." Not long ago, this industrial park also settled in front of the door. I came back to work, and now my family's life is very moist. ”
Zhang Xueqiang calculated an account for the reporter, in the past, he and his wife could earn tens of thousands of dollars a year while working in the city, but there was not much money left in the rent, water and electricity, transportation and other expenses. After returning to the village to work, the rent was saved, the transportation cost was also saved, not only took care of the elderly parents, but also saved a lot of expenses, a year inside and outside the savings of fifty or sixty thousand yuan is no problem.
The fundamental reason for Zhang Xueqiang to have the confidence to return to the village for development is that Jialanban Village has embarked on a unique road of rural revitalization with "art + countryside" as the development model, culture as the soul and tourism as the core, that is, taking the Matouqin cultural and artistic industry as the guide, and creating cultural perception and leisure vacation products with market attractiveness from the multi-dimensional perspective of space scene, functional format, cultural atmosphere, experience mode and so on. The village will be built into a net red art and music town integrating accommodation, leisure and entertainment, art exchanges and folklore experience, a cultural inheritance and innovation base, and a cultural and leisure tourism destination with the theme of Matouqin.
At present, the industrial park has reached cooperation with the national intangible cultural heritage master Qi Baoligao, as well as artists and workshop artists such as Qi Feng and Hu Silen, and celebrities have created a rich cultural industry atmosphere and attracted more non-genetic inheritors and musical talents to settle in the park. Relying on the continuous improvement of ecological resources, this century-old village at the foot of Daqing Mountain, with continuously upgraded infrastructure construction, ecological advantages combined with creative cultural tourism planning, catalyzed a new way of life, and created a new format suitable for the integration of cultural tourism development in the village.
"Over the years, we have successively improved the appearance of the village as a whole, and attracted the attention of many enterprises while improving the living standards of the villagers." Han Wenjun, secretary of the party branch and director of the village committee of Jialanban Village, said, "In the past, there were many villagers who worked outside, and there were some elderly people left in one family, and some even the elderly left. In the past few years, our village has developed, and the villagers have returned. Some villagers have found jobs in the village, and some have simply started their own businesses and done some business, and their incomes are very good. We will lead the villagers to live a good life through industrial upgrading and integrated development. ”
