[Poverty Alleviation Story] Hunan "Never Withdraw" United Front Poverty Alleviation Team builds a rural complex in deep mountains
[Explanation] The 22-kilometer muddy mountain road has been changed to a 5-meter-wide cement road, and the village shuttle bus has passed. The 3 kilometers shoal becomes a clear stream, and the willow trees flow through it... In late autumn, the sun is shining, China News Agency interview team It travels along the Tongcun Road leading to Huangshi Village in Anhua County, Yiyang, Hunan. The scenery along the way is pleasant, and a large amusement park has been built between the countryside.
However, before 2014, Huangshi Village hidden in the mountains had little contact with the outside world.
Huang Zhifei, secretary of the Party branch of Huangshi Village, told reporters that the villagers in Huangshi Village at the time lived in wooden houses and walked on muddy roads. There was no signal on their mobile phones, no channels on TV, backward power facilities, and few people who went out to make a living came back. The poor accounted for one fifth of the village's population.

In the past (the rice cooker) was unfamiliar with cooking, and I couldn't watch the news broadcast. As well as our communication networks, we were isolated from the world before and there was no signal after we came in.
[Explanation] In order to change the backwardness of Huangshi Village, in 2015, the United Front Work Department of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee sent a poverty alleviation team here, and poverty alleviation funds were also allocated in place.
To eradicate poverty, we must first let the villagers see hope. The task force decided to start the improvement of the living environment.
With the opening of the cement road into the village, a series of works such as river dredging and dredging, dilapidated house renovation, power grid upgrade, and village square construction have been carried out one after another.
Huang Zhifei said that after returning home became more convenient, there was a favorable policy for renovating dilapidated houses. Villagers who went out to make a living returned to the village and took the lead in building red brick houses.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place here, especially some of our infrastructure, which has been comprehensively upgraded, and water, roads, and electricity have been completely resolved.
[Explanation] However, because the light environment has become more beautiful, it is impossible to feed the more than 2000 people in Huangshi Village. The villagers who return have to go out to earn a living after repairing their houses, and only the elderly are left behind.
In order to retain the young and middle-aged, the village must have its own property, which has become the consensus of the work team and the two village committees.
To this end, the team used the advantages of the United Front resources and combined with the natural ecological environment of Huangshi Village to formulate a leisure agriculture development plan for Huangshi Village: Huangshi Village, as a pastoral complex, must have a tea garden for sightseeing, fishing and rafting, and a four-season picking garden. , Tourists can experience farming culture, and carry out mountain cross-country development and parent-child activities, and enjoy the good mountains and water nature.
Huang Zhifei said that in order to achieve this goal, the work team often immersed themselves in the fields and mountains, working for dozens of days, and rarely went home to reunite.

For the purpose of precise poverty alleviation and for the development of our Huangshi Village, the work team means staying in our village for a long time, sometimes not going home for a month or two. Listening to them means that their children will not recognize them when they return. I won’t call Dad after I come back.
[Explanation] The effort has paid off. With the efforts of the whole village under the leadership of the work team, Huangshi Village’s 1,000-mu tea garden, 100-mu orchard, flower gardens, agricultural tourism companies, plus ecologically farmed pigs, bees, etc. are sustainable. Developing industries have risen one after another.
Before the completion of the work team's three-year poverty alleviation plan, Huangshi Village successfully removed the poverty label.
Nowadays, although the work team has been withdrawn for a long time, the substantial "family background" left by Huangshi Village and the frequent return visits that "look back" have made Huangshi Village's "bloodmaking" function more and more powerful.
Under the guidance of this "never withdraw" united front poverty alleviation team, Huangshi Village has not only built an idyllic ecological amusement park with mountains and rivers, and has become a "parent-child travel" destination that city people yearn for. It has also been rated as Hunan provincial level. "Concentric Beautiful Village" and "Cultural Tourism Poverty Alleviation Demonstration Village".
