Editor's note
: The old Soviet area gave birth to the Chinese revolution and was the original heart of the Chinese Communist Party.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once said affectionately: “I came here in such an atmosphere. Many places where I have worked are old districts, and I have deep feelings for the old districts.”
General Secretary Xi Jinping was born into a revolutionary soldier's family and grew up on the loess slopes of northern Shaanxi. The "red gene" is deeply integrated into his blood.
While working in the local area, he has been paying attention to the development of the local old districts and the living conditions of the people in the old districts.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary's concern for the old districts has remained the same. He has frequently set foot on the red land to visit and sympathize with the people in the old districts.
On the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the "Learning Everyday" column of CCTV.com launched a special plan "The Red Old District Concerned by the General Secretary", telling the story of the red and showing the development and changes of the old district.

Studying every day in Xin County, Henan Province, there is a traditional village surrounded by mountains and rivers with a history of more than 400 years.
Here, rows of terraces and ponds are strewn together, rows of adobe tiled houses are simple and beautiful, and the Central Plains culture, Chu culture, and Hui culture complement each other.

The villagers developed homestays and embarked on the road to wealth.

The old revolutionary base in Dabie Mountain is a monument in the history of the party in a century.
During the Revolutionary War, more than 2 million people in the Dabie Mountains joined the revolution, and nearly 1 million died for the country. It can be said that "every family has a Red Army, every household has martyrs, the mountains and mountains are buried with loyal bones, and the mountains and mountains are monuments."
Xinxian, located at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, is the capital of the Hubei, Henan, Anhui, and Soviet regions.
The Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Soviet Areas were one of the base areas created by the Communist Party of China during the Agrarian Revolutionary War. At its peak, it had 45,000 main Red Army forces and a base population of 3.5 million. It was the second largest revolutionary base area after the Central Soviet Area. The miracle that the red flag will not fall in the year.
During the War of Liberation, Xinxian was the base for Liu and Deng's army to advance to Dabie Mountain for thousands of miles.
In 1947, Liu Deng's army went south and set up a temporary command post in Tianpu Dayuan, Xin County, and won the battle of Hanjiazhai.
Tianpu Dayuanhou Mountain still retains the battle site of that year.
The land in Xinxian County is red, but the environment here is green.
In Xinxian County, there are more than 20 unique ancient villages like Tianpu Daluo, as well as countless ancient trees, ancient houses, ancient granaries, and ancient workshops.
Beautiful natural landscapes such as peaks, bays and lakes form a natural green ecological barrier here.

From the per capita net income of 8073 yuan in 2014 to 18624 yuan in 2019, the rural tourism industry has driven 193 poor households around Tianpu Dayuan out of poverty.
The development of dozens of homestays, farmhouses, and maker shops in the village is in full swing.
During his trip to Henan in 2019, the general secretary also got to know the handicraft shop, bamboo weaving shop and other small maker shops in Tianpu Dayuan, and paid for several pairs of handmade insoles with local characteristics.
In 2020, Tianpu Dayuan will receive more than 520,000 tourists.
As of April this year, 400,000 people have come to Tianpu Daluo for "tourist check-in".

"We must not forget the people who dig the well. We must never forget the revolutionary martyrs and the people in the old areas. We must build the old revolutionary areas better so that the people in the old areas can lead a better life." During the inspection, the general secretary was full of affectionate words and guidance.
