[Village Revitalization] Relocation of villages on the side of Jinchang Mountain in Gansu: "net" shows its value and "speaks" new style
[Explanation] Recently, 71-year-old Wang Hong is in a spacious new home of nearly 400 square meters, leisurely attending to various flowers in the courtyard.
However, just three years ago, Wang Hong's family of 4 was still squeezed into a dirt house built on the hillside in Hejiawan Village, Yongchang County, Gansu Province.
He raised his hand and told reporters that in the distant mountain nest, covered in dirt on a sunny day and covered in mud on a rainy day were a true portrayal of life.
Wang Hong said that as long as it rains, he will panic.
This kind of restless days ushered in a turning point a few years ago.
He and other villagers on the mountain moved to a concentrated settlement at the bottom of the mountain.
From the mountain to the mountain, from the adobe house to the single large flat floor, from the bumpy dirt road to the hardened cement road, life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The road I used to walk was narrow, it was raining, and the house was in the alley, so I couldn't get into our inner place even if I rode a bike.
(Now) The village committee is in front of the road, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many people to see.
I didn't expect (to live in) such a good house.
[Explanation] In Wang Hong's eyes, apart from the living environment, the slogans and paintings on the rural walls have changed the most.
Zhang Zexia, secretary of the Party branch of Hejiawan Village, said that since she was a child, the big white walls in the village are full of red or blue slogans.
Now the walls of the village have been replaced with new, large-scale painted clothes, and the streets and corridors are also fully decorated with slogans of "filial piety and respect for the elderly".

Originally, Murakami’s slogans were all red slogans, which consisted of a few words and a sentence of call-to-action. Now Murakami’s walls are painted with this kind of paintings, 3D paintings, and plane paintings.
The first is to improve the appearance of this beautiful countryside. The second is that our paintings include rural revitalization, village rules and folk agreements between neighbors, and environmental sanitation improvement, which are more acceptable and easier to understand.
[Explanation] At the entrance of the village, there is also a "wish wall" with colorful message strips. From life trivial matters to advocating civilization, they are all small wishes written by the villagers spontaneously.
The cadres in the village collected the messages and used social forces to help the villagers realize their wishes.

The common people said that the house can be repaired this year. We will try to obtain loans for the common people and match the loans. We hope that the loans will come down as soon as possible so that they can build their houses this year and live in new houses as much as possible.
And like this, this year's houses can be installed and installed properly. We have already declared this project, and the project has been approved and can be implemented this year.
[Explanation] Zhang Zexia said that from the dusty, mottled and withered earthen walls to the blue tiles and brick houses with gardens and home appliances, the slogans "written" in front of and behind the rural houses have also witnessed decades of rural areas. Earth-shaking changes.
The once bare Gobi stone beach has become an ecologically livable "Happy Beach". From a distance, the courtyard surrounded by green trees is brand new and tidy, with smoke curling up, and a picture of pastoral scenery is slowly unfolding.
