Recently, a news about the "whole village blessing" of more than 2,200 villagers in a Shandong village sparked heated discussions among netizens.
From the photos at the scene, you can see that a large number of villagers stood on the shelves, and professional photographers took pictures of everyone.
On January 27, Cao Min, a village cadre in Houbaligou Village, Zoucheng City, Jining, Shandong Province, who took this "Full Village Fu" told Beijing Youth Daily that most people in the village belonged to the Song family. "A total of more than 2,200 people came, ranging from babies a few months old to people in their 90s, involving 8 generations of this large family.
Cao Min said that the village believes that traditional Chinese culture emphasizes one family and relatives, and the people in the village basically belong to a family with the surname Song. Therefore, the village also hopes to pass on the traditional culture by shooting "Full Village Photos".
According to reports, the "Full Village Portrait" was shot on January 22, the first day of the Lunar New Year, but as early as January 14, the village committee sent a notice to the villagers of the plan to shoot the "Whole Village Portrait".
Cao Min said that the reason why he chose to shoot on the first day of the Lunar New Year was that the villagers could get together on this day.
Although more than 2,200 villagers came that day, Cao Min recalled that the entire filming process only lasted about half an hour. "The queue started at 9:00 in the morning, and the filming ended around 9:30."
Cao Min said that the reason why it went so smoothly is that on the one hand, the village has had the experience of shooting a whole village portrait before, and another reason is that the village often organizes activities for the villagers, and the villagers have a sense of obeying the rules.
"The collective economy in the village has developed well in recent years, and the villagers have all moved into the buildings built in the village. This time, we also arranged the shooting positions in advance according to the conditions of each building. The villagers can easily find their own positions. .” In addition, the cost of this filming was also borne by the village.
Cao Min told Beiqing Daily that the village was developed from a family surnamed Song.
Before 2005, Houbaligou Village was still the poorest village in Zoucheng City. Since 2005, the village began to develop collective economy. The village collective started business activities around 2007 and obtained the first pot of gold. Since then, it has continued to develop In addition to supermarkets, cultural tourism and other industries, there are also drone industrial parks.
The collective assets of the whole village have reached 6 billion yuan, and every villager is a stockholder, who can receive dividends.
"When the economy is good, our village often holds activities, and the organization of the filming has been completed very smoothly."
