[Well-off China] Gansu wasteland to build "farm" Chengdu city people experience farming

　　[Explanation] Each plot is divided into areas and has a number. From the day the people claim it, it is a "private vegetable garden". This is the new look of Ciwang Farm in Zheqiao Town, Linxia City, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu. In the past, this piece of land was an abandoned brick kiln factory, which was left aside and turned into a wasteland. Today, it is a brand new scene.

　　Near noon, Ma Sudai, a 55-year-old citizen of Linxia City, took the elderly and children to his "vegetable garden" to check the growth of crops and pull out green onions.

　　We used to grow vegetables before, and (later) we did not grow them. We (come) experienced life, planted (land), and the children brought them over. (Let them see how vegetables are grown and how they grow.

　　[Explanation] Ciwang Farm is based on local advantages such as location and agricultural planting foundation. It covers and fills the abandoned Ciwang Brick Factory into a pastoral complex integrating farming experience, popular science research, sightseeing and tourism.

　　Zhang Zhiqiang, deputy mayor of Zheqiao Town, Linxia City, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, said that nowadays, people in cities are far away from the countryside and their knowledge of farming is gradually weakening. At the same time, people yearn for pastoral life. Attracted.

　　Our Ciwang Farm used to be an abandoned brick and tile kiln factory. (Now) our Ciwang Farm has been operated and managed by a cooperative specially established by Murakami since its completion in March this year (2020). Our first phase of land is divided into more than 400 blocks, and the income is about 120,000 yuan.

　　[Explanation] Ciwang Farm is a realistic version of "QQ Farm". The public can subscribe to plots of different sizes, choose to grow various vegetables, participate in fertilization, watering, harvesting and other farming processes, so that they can feel the farming culture in their work .

　　Not only that, Ciwang Farm also has a research classroom, which has become a practice base for the primary and secondary school students in Linxia Prefecture to popularize farming cultural knowledge and teach Chinese farming civilization. During the interview, a reporter from China News Agency, the fifth-grade students of Linxia Experimental Primary School, led by their teachers, came to the fields to clear the land and pick them.

　　Luo Renli, a teacher of Linxia Experimental Primary School, said that most of the students in this school were born in cities. Parents and teachers often teach their children to be diligent and thrifty, but the effect is far from personal experience and practice.

　　(I) feel that the beauty of labor should not be discarded at any time, whether it is our teenagers or the current elementary school students, because we know too little about this aspect. After all, we are on campus, in class, and only in books. I understand that there is no field practice. After coming to this farm today, the students practiced with their own hands and saw us farmers’ uncles and aunts working hard. I think the educational significance for them is very far-reaching.

　　[Explanation] It is reported that Ciwang Farm is an important node in building a "characteristic cultural tourism town" in the local area. It aims to promote the development of rural tourism industry and radiate the surrounding farmhouse economy. At the same time, it is also a good place to popularize farming culture for the people and experience farming civilization.
