The asphalt road passes through the village, the white walls, black tiles and the dense shade of green trees set off each other, and the clear ponds and landscape pavilions are dotted with each other... In early summer, the reporter walked into Tantou Village, Zishan Town, Yudu County, and a series of unique pastoral pictures were slowly spreading out. .
In May 2019, Xi Jinping came here to inspect the poverty alleviation and rural revitalization and development of the old revolutionary base on the spot.
Seeing the general secretary coming, villager Sun Guanfa led his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter, and happily invited the general secretary to his home.
Sitting around in the living room, Xi Jinping, Sun Guanfa's family and local town and village cadres made a choreography.
The general secretary said: "I came to Jiangxi this time to visit the old folks in the Soviet district to see if the lives of the folks have improved, and whether the old districts can get rid of poverty as scheduled."
[New appearance of red land, rural revitalization]
Tantou Village is the Red Army Village and was once a poor village.
With the victory of poverty alleviation and the seamless connection with rural revitalization, the village has changed.
A Tourism Development Co., Ltd. was established in the village, and the villagers worked together to develop projects such as "selenium-enriched canteen", homestays, and red research tourism. Everyone has a new identity: guide, cleaner, waiter, chef...

High-quality development reflects the unswerving original intention

Entering Jinggangshan Xiuhu Intelligent Manufacturing Electronics Co., Ltd., a piece of LED giant screen is shining brightly.
"We rely on XR technology to produce large LED screens for virtual shooting, and the products are used in many hit dramas." said Yan Yinghao, the person in charge of the company.
Xiuhu Smart Manufacturing is just a microcosm of the old revolutionary base embracing the new economy and cultivating new kinetic energy.

【Xinyan Yudu·New Evolution of Traditional Industries】
With a population of more than one million in Yudu County, the county economy once lacked engine support and guidance. In the past, the labor-intensive clothing industry had low added value and agricultural development had no brand characteristics.
In recent years, Yudu County has reshaped the new advantages of the traditional clothing industry with intelligent manufacturing as the core.
At Yudu Winner Fashion (Ganzhou) Co., Ltd., customers can select fabric colors or styles online according to their needs. After placing an order, the data will be directly transmitted to the production line. Pieces of fabric will be automatically cut according to the customer’s personalized data, and pieces of clothing will pass through the intelligent scheduling system Transfer to the appropriate station.
The person in charge of the company told reporters that the application of intelligent technology can help companies reduce management costs by 70%.
Intelligent technology makes the "old industry" glow with new vitality.
Over the past few years, more than 3,000 textile and garment enterprises have gathered in Yudu County, and the industry's output value has reached more than 50 billion yuan, which has driven more than 80,000 migrant workers in the clothing industry to return to their hometowns to start businesses.

Traditional agriculture has gained fame with the help of selenium-rich brands.
In the early summer, when we walked into the 10,000-mu selenium-rich vegetable base in Zishan Town, Yudu County, vegetables such as loofah and peppers were flourishing. The villagers were picking them in the shed and preparing to load them to the market.
Ouyang Tianquan, director of the Economic and Work Office of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Yudu County, told reporters that the price of ordinary peppers is about 2 yuan per catty, and selenium-enriched peppers can be sold for 7 yuan per catty, and they are often sold out.
