China News Service, Lishui, August 29 (Reporter Xiang Jing) How to urbanize mountain counties?
In the evolution of China's modernization, urbanization is the only way, and "urbanization of mountain counties" is an inevitable topic, and it is still in an ongoing tense.
Compared with the vast plains rising from the ground with tall buildings, mountainous areas are intertwined with mountains, facing the shackles of rugged terrain.
The source of Qiantang River and Ou River, Suichang County, Lishui City, one of the 26 counties in the mountainous area of Zhejiang Province, Xianxialing Mountain Range traverses the whole territory, with a forest coverage rate of 83.59%, but a population of only 230,000.
Like most mountainous counties, Suichang has also encountered the "urbanization entanglement"-the trend of urbanization and the "constraints" of nature.

Under the vision of a Demonstration Zone for Common Prosperity, Zhejiang proposed to promote urbanization with county towns as an important carrier.
In the first half of this year, the regional GDP growth rate of Suichang County ranked first in Lishui City and the 26 counties in the mountainous area of Zhejiang Province.
In the view of Zhang Zhuangxiong, Secretary of the Suichang County Party Committee, Suichang’s leapfrog development is inseparable from the new urbanization construction with the county as the main body. In recent years, the county has been committed to promoting Both urban and rural areas prosper and prosper together.
The evolution of "city": planning first and people-oriented
"This is something that I couldn't imagine before." From the often congested 18-meter road to the planned 40-meter avenue, the great changes in the county in the past two years have caused Li Junfei, a 30-year old planner, to call "unexpected." .
The "14th Five-Year Plan" points out that it is necessary to stick to the path of new urbanization with Chinese characteristics, deepen the new urbanization strategy centered on people, and comprehensively improve the quality of urbanization development.
Among them, the county seat should speed up to make up for shortcomings and promote the urbanization construction with the county seat as an important carrier.
This is also the road to urbanization that Suichang County is taking.
"To promote urbanization, urban renewal must be carried out." Li Junfei, the chief engineer of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Suichang County, said frankly that due to topographic constraints, since the reform and opening up, the development and construction of Suichang County has been mainly localized. There have been more than 20 years of "big fights" on a large scale.
He recalled that in mid-May 2019, on the first day when the new county party committee secretary took office, he investigated urban planning and put urban renewal in a prominent position in county development.
"At that time, I brought 22 people from the construction department to the planning department to start a new round of urban planning." Li Junfei said that focusing on planning first, the local formulation of the "Three-year Action Plan for Urban Renewal in Suichang County (2019-2021)" , And established the first principle of "people-oriented" and the direction of "expanding eastward and advancing westward".
One quotes its outline, and every eye is open.
In the evolution of the "city", there are constant problems.
For example, the funeral home and surrounding cemeteries in Suichang County are located in a mountain col on the west side of the city, and the surrounding area is the downtown area.
"In history, we have considered relocation many times, but the scope is too wide, and ultimately we dare not move." Li Junfei has a deep understanding of this. According to him, in order to effectively open up the urban space, the local decided to start the relocation of funeral homes and surrounding areas. The project will be relocated as a whole to Heshan Bay, which is 5 kilometers away from the county seat.
This relocation has made more room for the development of the new city.
In the past two years, Suichang has implemented land acquisitions in Meixi, Jinan, South Street, Guyuan Future Community, etc. The total construction area is about 380,000 square meters, more than 4,400 mu of land has been acquired, and 1,896 households have been acquired.
Citizen Luo Feng is the demolition household and the beneficiary.
The three generations of Luofeng's family originally lived on a small hill in the core area of the county, next to the weather station. "The battery car can't drive home, and the last part of the road can only be walked, let alone the fire engine."
"In April last year, we learned that we are going to be demolished. Everyone is very happy." Luo Feng set his sights on the new city to the west. This year he bought a 129-square-meter commercial house. He expects that after this round of urban renewal, the county will no longer be the same as before. Congestion, there will be a more comfortable living environment.
At present, Suichang County is under hot construction. This year, the annual infrastructure investment exceeded 1.6 billion yuan. A batch of new projects such as the People's Hospital, funeral home, and future communities have been started, and the future park and other projects have been completed.
After Li Junfei returned to the construction department last year, he now walks to the site every day to see the progress, "The planning map is gradually becoming a real-life map."
The turn of the "township": a big move, fast gathering of urban and rural areas for prosperity
"I used to be from the neighbors to the neighbors, but now I am going up and down." The 59-year-old Zhou Shihong was originally worried that he would not be used to relocating from the mountains to the county seat. He did not expect that many villagers live in the same community and their lives are still very fulfilling.

The core of urbanization lies in "people", not only involving "urban people", but also "rural people".
Affected by topography and other factors, Suichang villages are relatively scattered, and a large number of villagers live in mountainous areas. On the one hand, it restricts the pace of urbanization, and on the other hand, remote mountain villages still have geological risks.
In September 2019, the county implemented the "big move and quick gathering of wealth and people's homes" project.
Zhou Shihong, together with 124 villagers in the village, took advantage of the east wind to relocate from the entire village of Dawapu Natural Village, Zhedaikou Township, which has an altitude of 1,000 meters and hidden geological disasters, and settled in the Tingqian Community of Yunfeng Street.
"All the government subsidies are added up, and I basically lived in a house in the city without spending any money." There are four people in Zhou Shihong's family.
"Before, there was only one bus from the village to the county town every day, which took most of the time. Now it's very convenient to go to the city by riding an electric car, shopping for vegetables and seeing a doctor." Zhou Shihong said joyfully, from the gravel road to the cement road. From old TVs to 50-inch LCD TVs, the quality of life continues to improve. “The daughter who used to choose to go out to make money is now back to work in the county.”
Zhou Shihong's nephew Zhou Zhicai's family also lives in Tingqian Community, and has spent two Spring Festivals in the new house.
"Having my own house, I feel at ease." Zhou Zhicai said that the couple had been working in the county town. After the house was relocated, they also changed from tenants to "owners with houses."

The data shows that since the county implemented the above-mentioned projects, 22,460 people have been signed to relocate and 8,306 people have been relocated, of which 4,056 people have been relocated in the entire village.
Right now, Zhejiang is pinned to build a demonstration zone for common prosperity.
The "Zhejiang High-quality Development and Construction of Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone Implementation Plan (2021-2025)" clarifies that it will speed up the establishment of an institutional channel for equal exchange and two-way flow of urban and rural elements.
In this context, the big move and quick gathering are also helping to realize the vision of mutual prosperity and prosperity for both urban and rural areas.
Zhu Wenqiang, Chief of the Rural Revitalization Service Section of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Suichang County, mentioned that the county seat is an important position for serving hundreds of millions of farmers and an important support point for expanding domestic demand. The relationship with space."
"Human" empowerment: fresh blood enters the development channel
With green waters and green mountains, the spatial pattern of urbanization is being reshaped, and it is more urgent to seek talents.

"Working in Suichang can enjoy a reward of 160,000-10.8 million yuan." On the side of the expressway close to Suichang County, a line of enlarged text is very eye-catching.
Such "high courtesy" stems from the county's determination to attract and retain talents, hoping to "help development with talents".
Suichang is located in the mountainous area of southwestern Zhejiang, with nine mountains, half water and half fields. It has no advantages in location, weak industrial platform, and backward supporting measures. The county talent ecology is facing development shortcomings.
"In order to activate the development channel, Suichang proposes to create a talent ecology of'near, happy and far away'." Wang Ying, head of the Talent Service Service Section of the Organization Department of Suichang County Party Committee, introduced that since 2019, the county has issued a history of The best “22 New Talent Deals” and supplementary opinions to empower talents with policy water.

Zhao Gangu, a young man from the Northeast, walked into Suichang for the first time and was attracted by the sweet air here.
Zhao Qiangu was originally engaged in the design and manufacture of aerospace vehicles, dealing with data every day, and now has "cross-boundary" as a financial media reporter in Suichang County.
If the sweet air moved Zhao Qiangu, then the intensity of the policy also allowed him to stay at ease.
"Stay in Suichang, you can get 300,000 yuan of office bills, and 30,000 yuan of living subsidy every year within 5 years." Zhao Gangu happily revealed that he was connected to Suichang one by one, and he married a Suichang girl this year. , "I bought a wedding room in Suichang with a room ticket, and it happened to be able to pay the down payment."
Zhao Gangu said frankly that he himself has a good impression of the South, and he knew that this is a county before he came. "Xintong Railway and the construction of the county seat, Suichang is changing every day, in a stage of breaking and establishing. I now want to pass one. A true and objective news report tells the story of the development of Haoshan County."
On the road to new urbanization, in order to accelerate the introduction of more fresh blood, Zhejiang Lishui (Suichang) Human Resources Service Industrial Park came into being.

The industrial park is located in the Suichang Industrial Park in Suichang County where there is a concentration of industrial enterprises and a large demand for labor. It is only a 10-minute drive from Suichang Station on the Quning Railway.
According to Weng Jie, the person in charge of the industrial park, development is the first priority, and talent is the first resource. He hopes that through the innovative service platform, global talents and Suichang industries can be accurately connected to add momentum to the county's economic and social development.
Pei Yucong is a cadre from Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing. He came to Suichang to take up his post due to the Zhejiang "Shanhai Cooperation" project, mainly participating in the construction of Suichang Industrial Park.
Although the county seat is located in the mountains, Pei Yucong feels that he is not behind here. Instead, the cadres are full of energy. "From the intensity of talent introduction to the speed of development, Suichang has great potential for development."
From opening up urban space, shortening the distance between urban and rural areas, and revitalizing human resources, Suichang County's modern development channel has been opened up step by step, and it has become more and more confident on the road to common prosperity.
