Ningbo, May 5 (Zhongxin Net) -- Crossing the winding mountain road, Hengkantou Village, Yuyao Liangnong Town, located in the anti-Japanese base area of eastern Zhejiang (Simingshan), quietly came into view. It is hard to imagine that this remote mountain village, which once "basically relied on walking and communication basically relied on roaring", knocked out the silence of the old revolutionary area with the "Common Prosperity Sutra" that integrates red and green.
Hengkantou Village is known as "East Zhejiang Red Village". In 2022, the collective economic income of the village will be 575.37 million yuan (RMB, the same below), of which the operating income is 366.34 million yuan; the per capita disposable income of farmers is 47108 yuan.
Recently, the reporter followed the "High-quality Development Research Tour" theme interview group to visit Hengkantou Village and the surrounding villages of Yuyao to explore the secrets of common prosperity of "East Zhejiang Red Village".
"Combine your own reality and give full play to your own advantages." According to Qiu Minbo, deputy secretary of the party committee of Hengkantou Village, since the implementation of the "2003 million project" in Zhejiang in <>, while developing "red tourism", the village has begun to consciously transform the traditional agricultural structure, looking for "green industries" and "characteristic industries" that can not only protect the environment, but also increase the income of villagers.
"Villagers plant cherries, peaches, kiwi and other fruit trees, and every summer and autumn harvest, the trees are full of fruit, and groups of tourists drive to pick them." Qiu Minbo said that the village has embarked on a road of rejuvenation of the old revolutionary area that combines red and green.

"We were the first farm stay in the village." Huang Pengxun, a villager in Hengkantou Village, is a witness and participant in rural revitalization. In 2006, with the vigorous development of red tourism and characteristic agriculture, he and his wife Chen Sanmei decided to establish a farmhouse - Baizhang Farmhouse, but the business became more and more prosperous, and the store expanded from the earliest 3 boxes to 10 boxes, becoming an Internet celebrity store for tourists to check in.
Under the guidance of the scientific thesis that "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", Hengkantou Village has come to understand that ecological resources are a lever to leverage economic development and increase villagers' income.
In September 2022, Hengkantou Village introduced a modern, standardized and intelligent soilless cultivation and planting base project - "Hongxin" Plant Factory, mainly planting more than 9 kinds of safe and safe hydroponic vegetables such as green leafy vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers.
"In the case of spinach, for example, it takes only 20 days from planting to harvesting. At present, our vegetables have been marketed, mainly sold to the Yangtze River Delta region. According to Chen Simeng, the relevant person in charge of the project, the project has effectively solved the problem of increasing employment and income for people in mountainous areas, helping local villagers to solve the employment of more than 30 people, and the annual per capita income increased by more than 6,<> yuan.
Today, a boutique tourism line connects the "pearls" scattered in the hinterland of Simingshan Mountain, such as Hengkantou Village, Wangxiang Village and Ganxuan Village, allowing the integration of villages to develop into another attempt to explore common prosperity.
While pioneering new development, the old revolutionary area has also welcomed a group of young "partners" to chase their dreams on the green background board.

On a 420-acre area of ordinary farmland in Liangnong Township, the "Chuxin Farm" is like a "natural art museum in a rice field", where young people gather on weekends, some sit in the farmland for meetings and training, and some open a literary or music market.
This is a rural space created by Zhang Xiaobo, the head of Chuxin Farm. In order to realize the rural revitalization of the old revolutionary area, after three years of practice, the farm has explored and summarized the "four innovations in one" model of "scientific and technological innovation + rural innovation + social innovation + cultural creativity".
New farmers, research mentors... In the past five years, more than 8700,<> young people in the old area of Simingshan in Yuyao have returned with a new identity, competing for the "partner" of green water and green mountains.
Today, the blueprint for common prosperity in the old revolutionary areas has been drawn, and the road to common prosperity in the countryside is under foot. (End)
