Xinhua News Agency reporters Wang Li, Li Jingya, and Liu Zhiqiang

In the north of Guizhou, where Wumeng Mountain and Wuling Mountain meet, the historical repercussions of "broken horseshoes and trumpet sounds" still linger in the ears, and the epidemic stagnation war and the fight against poverty are all "trump sky" ...

Zunyi, an old revolutionary district, has achieved positive results in epidemic prevention and control with no new cases of new crown pneumonia for 16 consecutive days, and good news has also come from the battlefield of poverty alleviation.

On March 3, the Guizhou Provincial People's Government announced that Zhengan County, a deeply impoverished county, was lifted from poverty to remove its hats, which symbolized Zunyi's overall poverty alleviation, and 8.12 million people in the old district bid farewell to the history of poverty.

Every decision is in the direction of light

On February 23, 4,000 guitars in Zheng'an County Economic Development Zone departed for shipment to Brazil, Japan, Germany and other places. This is the first shipment of the Guizhou Divine Music Instrument Manufacturing Company after resumption of work.

"Farmers are employed at their doorsteps. As long as the epidemic prevention is carefully done, there is no problem in resuming production." Regarding production and operation under the epidemic, Shen Chuan, general manager of the company, was fully confident.

This factory with an annual output value of more than 30 million US dollars, absorbing more than 500 local farmers, more than 100 poor households is employed, is the top five guitar manufacturing enterprises in the country.

It is hard to imagine that a poor county once trapped in the mountains has become the world's largest guitar production base, gathering 64 guitar manufacturing and supporting enterprises, with an annual output of 7 million guitars, and selling in more than 30 countries in Europe, America, and Latin America. area.

In 2013, Zheng Chuanxiang and Zheng Chuanxi, the "guitar brothers" who went out from Zhengan, decided to go back to their nests, setting off a wave of migrant workers returning to their hometowns in this poor county.

The choice to return is as difficult and firm as they chose to go out 20 years ago.

The mountains and valleys are deep, the transportation is inconvenient, and Zhengan, which is located in a corner, is the only deeply impoverished county in Zunyi. "There is only half an acre of arable land per capita, and I can't even eat my full stomach." There is no way out. Zheng'an people are poor and want to change, walking out of the mountains.

More than 30 years ago, the county party committee and county government seized the opportunity of reform and organized a "three hundred women soldiers" under Panyu in the risk and dispute, which took the lead in organizing the export of organized labor in Guizhou. Suffering losses, bumping into walls, tears ... But waves of young people resolutely go out and make a fortune, forming a mighty labor force and a spectacular labor economy.

"The 200,000 labor force is a choice and even a wealth!" Said Wu Qi, head of Zheng'an County, and labor export played an important role in solving the problem of food and clothing for the poor and formed a huge accumulation of talents in decades of precipitation. There are 20,000 or 30,000 Zhengan people who are engaged in the production of musical instruments in the Pearl River Delta alone. Some of them have started from ordinary workers and have gradually grown into outstanding entrepreneurs.

The policy of precision poverty alleviation has opened the door to Zhengan, which is “isolated from the world.” Four or five expressways have been built in succession. The dead end of traffic has become the frontier of opening up, and the green mountains and mountains have unlimited vitality. The county party committee and county government went out again to attract investment from the coastal areas, especially to attract people from hometowns doing business abroad to return home and start businesses.

"Hometown has changed. In the wave of economic transformation, the past disadvantages have become advantages." Having worked in Guangdong for more than 20 years and founded his own musical instrument manufacturing enterprise, "Guitar Brothers" decided to return to his hometown to start a business. Inspired by them, a large number of guitar companies moved westward to Zhengan, driving more than 15,000 local farmers to find jobs.

On the new Long March, the people in the old district made brave choices again and again.

The gray and white two-storey building stands quietly at 96 Yin Road, Zunyi Old Town. The Zunyi Conference held here 85 years ago saved the party, the Red Army, and the Chinese Revolution at an extremely critical historical juncture.

"Strengthen conviction, seek truth from facts, be independent, and dare to break new ground," said Wei Shuwang, secretary of the Zunyi Municipal Party Committee. The spirit of the Zunyi Conference is the precious spiritual wealth of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.

In the winter of 1983, 24 peasants argued around the fire pond in a ventilated oil mill in the Nanmuqiao production team of Meitan County in Zunyi for three days and nights. A land system reform involving the most fundamental interests of farmers was in this fire pond. Edge is born.

The household joint production contract responsibility system has stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers for production, but with the development of the times, the contradiction of "increasing people to increase land and reducing people to reduce land" has become increasingly prominent. Unstable policies The people were panicked and could only grow corn on a thin field. They could not eat enough food but often quarreled.

"On such a cold day, no matter how many days of noisy, there is no result. I simply 'no more life, no more death'. I have the ability to train my children to study and get out of the mountains!" Yu Zhonghua, an elder cadre of the highly respected brigade, shouted, everyone They looked at each other and said in unison: "Give it!"

The policy of “increasing land without increasing land and reducing land without land” has been pushed forward. The masses have taken reassurance, carefully managed their land, and the grain output has grown rapidly.

Respecting the objective reality, the "noisy reform" from the side of the fire pond was written into the central document, and Metan County became the first batch of rural reform pilot areas in the country. Over the past few decades, 18 reforms have been gradually rolled out here, and written into central and State Council documents five times.

Reform has become one of the sources of power to push Meitan out of poverty and move towards a well-off society.

"Thank the Communist Party, turn around and think of you. We used to be cattle and horses, and now everyone is a family; thank the Communist Party, eat and think of you. You used to be hungry and hungry.

In Luyueli, for several days, on January 20th, the annual "Village Spring Festival" in Meitan County was staged as scheduled. The peasants and masses who realized their dream of poverty alleviation sang the lantern show "Ten Thanks to the Communist Party", which was written and performed by themselves. The county magistrate Li Xun said that "every thank" is a visible and tangible change in the lives of the masses. It is the gratitude of farmers from the heart.

On the battlefield without smoke

Wang Tianshui has been eating for most of his life, and the poverty-stricken household Zeng Fanyun's longing for tap water is unforgettable. Now, as soon as the faucet at home is unscrewed, there is a clear Ganquan, and the realization of this "dream" makes him even more impressed.

The winter solstice of 2017 was extremely cold, but Zeng Fanyun's heart was very hot. The cadre in the village Xu Xianwen told him to come to the water pipe, the water pipe was connected, and the clear spring on the mountain could be sent to home. Because he lived remotely, his family was the last in the village, and Zeng Fanyun could not wait any longer.

I know too much about the poverty-stricken people ’s eagerness. Xu Xianwen, a 56-year-old cadre of the Maocao group in Houtian Village, Liangcun Town, Xishui County, opened the noon poverty alleviation dispatch meeting in the village at noon. Started the car, and ran towards that grass lawn.

Zeng Fanyun's home was on a steep half-hill slope, and the narrow Tongzu Road turned to his home yard dam to form an inclined angle. In order not to trouble the masses, Xu Xianwen carefully turned the car into the fork.

"Thank you so much, come in for dinner." Zeng Fanyun said cheerfully as he lifted the water pipe. "No, the village is waiting!" Unloading the water pipe, Xu Xianwen drove away.

Holding the steering wheel tightly, the car moved out a little bit, but at the corner, the rear wheel was stuck on the slope. He tapped the throttle lightly and wanted to adjust the direction, but in a split second, the car lost its balance and fell over the cliff on a steep slope with a height of 70 or 80 meters ...

Xu Xianwen, who is retiring, is the principal of Xishui County Secondary Vocational Technical School. The county sounded the assault on poverty alleviation, and he couldn't sit still. He took the initiative to ask the poorest Houtian village to help the poor, and applied for the farthest cadre of the Maocao group. "I am old and experienced, and am good at dealing with the masses. I own a car and it is easy to run long distances."

Xu Xianwen is one of the 15 cadres who died in the battle against poverty in Zunyi. Behind them are 883 poverty alleviation teams in the village and 4,475 cadres in the village. Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, Zunyi City has reduced the number of rural poor by 15.138 million, achieved poverty alleviation in 8 poor counties, and ranked 871 poor villages.

"The new battlefield and new test, the Communists are just as brave to move forward without shrinking." Xishui County Party Committee Secretary Cheng Chengqiang said that during the Long March, the Red Army fought for more than three months in Zunyi. The victory of the attack on Lou Shanguan and Sidu Chishui achieved a great turning point.

The hero's spirit stretches across the red lands, inheriting the new battlefield.

During the Long March, the Red Army passed by Tongzi County. Qiming Electric Light Company worker Jiao Bochen was infected by the Red Army propaganda. He carried his boss and gave the Red Army more than 100 kilograms of enamelled copper wire, which solved the urgent need for army communications accessories. 80 years later, Jiao Bochen's granddaughter Jiao Zheng, as an English teacher of Tongzi No. 2 Middle School, fought in the field of education for poverty alleviation; Luo Granding, his granddaughter Luo Ting, was sent to the front line to serve as deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Gaoqiao Town after the fight against poverty.

In May 2017, it was the crucial period for poverty alleviation. Luo Ting's left leg had a broken thigh and a steel plate was hit. At this time, his wife was about to give birth. According to the doctor's order, he could rest for six months and take care of his family. As a result, he was injured at home for less than three months, and he returned to the "battlefield."

"Sickness is not allowed at this time." Luo Ting said, "Although my left leg was injured, my right leg can still drive and I can walk on a crutch." Including him, the county's first-line commander and poverty alleviation workers Eating and living in the village, some cadres became ill, and held an infusion bottle to visit. "Many cadres are like this. As long as they don't fall, they must go together."

The power of faith travels through time and space

"A bowl of soil" is a belief in Qingshuzi, Shuanglong Township, Xishui County. The typical karst landform has severe rocky desertification, and the village has a total of only 20 acres of land and 40 acres of soil. The living environment is too bad, and the people here have to "request for land".

Before dawn, the village party secretary Lu Minghua took everyone with his back on the back of a steel drill and a hammer head up the mountain. In the stone crevices and under the tree roots, he digged out the soil and piled it up. Then he used the broken stones to land on the ground. A small pit, then fill the soil, this is "a bowl of soil".

The smallest "bowl of soil" can only grow one sweet potato, but if more bowls of soil are cut out each year, there is more hope in life. More than 1,700 "bowls of soil" all over the mountains are the mark of the Qingshuzi people's struggle against fate. Relying on this belief, the whole village got out of poverty in 2018.

The power of faith is immeasurable.

The Central Red Army is in extreme predicament, and the Chinese revolution is at a critical juncture. It is precisely by insisting on the lofty revolutionary ideals that the Party Central Committee and the Red Army can turn from danger to peace and the Chinese revolution can save themselves from danger. Not afraid of any difficulties and dangers, and at the expense of all sacrifices, the spirit of the Long March has always been the nourishment of the people in the old districts to overcome poverty.

Shichao Township, Wuchuan Gelao and Miao Autonomous County, one of the 20 extremely poor townships in Guizhou. In the 1990s, a girl from the village of Jingzhu Guo Zerong married the third-tier rock formation of Langshui Village. Her husband had seven siblings and four brothers lived in two rooms The house where the wall was made of bamboo was exposed to wind and rain, and she shed tears all night on her wedding day. It didn't take long for them to split up. A total of 20 catties were distributed to the whole family. The couple only got a small pot. "Life is difficult."

In 2012, the township called for trial planting of honeysuckle, and Guo Zerong first reported his name. This honeysuckle, like her, stubbornly grew up in the mountains.

Under the leadership of Guo Zerong, Langshui Village planted 310 acres of honeysuckle with an average annual income of nearly 10,000 yuan. All 62 poor households in the Sanshouyan Formation have been lifted out of poverty.

Lintan Village is located next to a ferry in "Sidu Chishui". At that time, the villagers used brown sugar cooked by ancient methods to treat injured Red Army soldiers. Some Red Army soldiers who could not walk due to injuries were left behind. Song Jiatong was one of them.

It was the masses of Lintan Village who rescued him. Song Jiatong married his wife and gave birth to his son, and took roots. A deep gratitude and nostalgia were never forgotten.

In 1983, Song Jiatong, the old Red Army, returned to his long-lost hometown in Jiangxi. He carefully selected a few honey pomelo seedlings and brought them back to the beach. The seedlings grow vigorously near the river valley, the honey pomelo is sweet and delicious, and the "Red Army Pomelo" has become a new industry to get rid of poverty in poor villages.

Never let a poor person fall behind. This is a solemn promise with a loud voice.

It is impossible to understand why the people here want to run outside without going to Huanglian Township of Tongzi County.

It is rainy and foggy for eight months of the year, and heavy snow covers the mountains for three months, making it impossible to travel. In the memory of 43-year-old Daozhu Village villager Sun Wencai, it took him 4 hours to go to the mountain and 6 hours to the nearest market. "A pair of liberation shoes, half of them were worn away, five toes were exposed, and the way home from school was frozen until I lost consciousness. I went out to catch up once every six months and bought some salt."

The policy of targeted poverty alleviation changed Huanglian Township: 10 village roads and 17 village roads strung the villages and villages; Fangzhu, honey, and Chinese herbal medicines were booming; more than 30 rural hotels, and farmhouses Feng Shui is booming.

"The land of bitter armor finally tasted a sweet taste!" Fu Fuyong, the secretary of the party committee of Huanglian Township, sighed, "The cadres and the masses showed their determination to treat death as if they were home, and they were overcome by poverty.

"Xiongguan Pass is as iron as it is today, and we are now striding forward from the beginning." Lou Shan shut down and the Chishui River, and the poverty-stricken battlefield in the "silent battlefield" was a decisive victory.
