【Poverty Relief Story】From Poverty to "Net Red": The Counterattack Road of Anbao Village in Inner Mongolia

　　[Commentary] On June 11th, the reporter visited the "Net Red" village in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region-Anbao Village. It's hard to imagine that the northern China version of "Jiangnan Water Town" with the small bridge, flowing water, clouds and fish swimming in front of it was still a poor village before 2015. It is understood that in the past, local farmers lived on farming and lived on the sky, but because of the low terrain, lack of water resources, and poor land, they almost became "hollow villages."

　　In order to change this situation, the cadres of Anbao Village began to change their minds and raised funds to start rural ecological cultural tourism. After six years of hard work, the beautiful scenery of Anbao Village attracted more than 6 million tourists. Up to now, the total revenue of the eco-cultural tourism platform has exceeded 100 million yuan. In 2015, with the last batch of 56 households and 141 people out of poverty, Anbao Village achieved the whole village out of poverty, and the villagers of Anbao Village also lived a new life.

　　[Explanation] Li Miaotao, who has been planting for more than 70 years, told reporters that her daily life now is to enjoy a leisure time with a pension.

　　(Previous) Farming, working in the field every day, this will happen, live in a new building, (life happening) earth-shaking changes, (it couldn't be better).

　　[Commentary] Feng Linzhong, 71, looked at the old photos and recalled to reporters that villagers used to live in adobe houses, so they never expected to live in spacious new buildings. Similarly, the 50-year-old Gao Ruijin ended his life of wandering outside working and contracted a stall on the snack street in the village. He can earn about 2,000 yuan a day when there is a lot of people.

　　I worked outside for a few years, and I went out in my 20s. After I went out, I worked hard and didn't make any money. Later, in the past few years, the construction of Bao Village was very good, and the leadership also made it very good. This year happened to be back. The village committee got this snack street. When I came back, I got a stall. This stall is not bad. The daily income is also quite impressive.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that Anbao Village is located 23 kilometers northeast of Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a total of 959 households and more than 2,600 people. Now, in addition to the development of ecological and cultural tourism, the project also supports the development of science, technology, agriculture, logistics and other projects, driving more than 3,000 villagers in and around the village to achieve local employment.

　　I sometimes chat with our fathers, who are now 70 or 80 years old. What do they say? We said that we had no dreams 6 years ago, and I couldn’t think of annoying Baocun to have today. In the past 6 years, it can be said that we are fighting in blood, withstanding the pressure, and have been advancing, so we have created such a good environment for (villagers) and attracted tourists from all over the country to visit. In fact, we can say that we are annoying the village This generation, carrying a very lofty historical mission, we are very pleased.
