On February 11, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping conducted an investigation and survey in the hinterland of Daliang Mountain. In Sanhe Village, Sanchahe Township, Zhaojue County, Sichuan, he sat around the firepit with the cadres and the masses to plan a precise poverty alleviation strategy. The general secretary pointed out that the most difficult and onerous task of building a well-off society in an all-round way is in poverty-stricken areas, especially in deeply impoverished areas. No matter how hard this hard bone is, it must be gnawed. No matter how hard it is to fight, it must be won. We must not forget every nation and every family on the road to a comprehensive well-off.
Zhang Ling, then the first secretary of Sanhe Village, accompanied the general secretary to inspect the village. In February of this year, Zhang Ling changed his position and no longer served as the first secretary of Sanhe Village, but he also served as the deputy captain of the village comprehensive assistance team. "We will always keep in mind the general secretary's entrustment, and continue to want to recruit and do practical things to ensure that Sanhe Village will get rid of poverty as scheduled this year."
"We must fulfill our promises to the common people one by one"
Sanhe Village is located in the hinterland of Daliang Mountain, with an average elevation of over 2500 meters. It is a typical deeply impoverished village inhabited by the Yi ethnic group. In 2013, there were 355 households in the village, and there were 151 poor households, and the incidence of poverty exceeded 46%. For a long time, 90% of the villagers lived in simple low adobe houses and maintained their traditional production and lifestyle.
Solving the problems of housing safety and transportation has become a basic task for poverty alleviation in Liangshan.
In 2015, Zhang Ling, then director of the Zhaojue County Development and Reform Economic and Information Bureau, took the initiative to invite Ying to serve as the first secretary of Sanhe Village. "I also grew up in the countryside, and I belong to the Yi nationality, so it is easier to get along with the fellow villagers."
After more than two years, when recalling the scene of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s inspection that day, Zhang Ling was still very excited. “I accompanied the General Secretary to investigate in Sanhe Village. Lika’s poverty alleviation contact card for poverty-stricken households mentioned my name when they held a symposium by the fire pond."
"The general secretary took it seriously and asked me carefully. In addition to understanding the basic situation of my family, he also touched the bedding, asking whether it was cold, how to eat and wear, and what sources of income could he have." Ji Hao also asked.
In front of Jielie's Amu's house, Zhang Ling held a display board to introduce to the general secretary the relocation work of Sanhe Village for poverty alleviation and relocation, and showed the planning renderings of 9 resettlement sites. Hearing that all 151 villagers will move into the new house, the general secretary nodded happily.
Afterwards, the general secretary, representatives of the villagers, and members of the poverty alleviation team stationed in the village, sat around the fire pond at the Jielie's Amu's house, chatting about the routine. The old Mosu and Jimu Ziluo in the family still remember the scene at the time. "The words of the general secretary are like fire in a fireplace, which makes people feel warm."
"At that time, I was also in charge of translating, telling the villagers' feelings to the general secretary, and then conveying the general secretary's care to the villagers." Zhang Ling said, "the general secretary said that to win the battle against poverty, especially to build a strong grassroots party branch. The first secretary and the working team in the village must work hard, do not use fame or form, and push forward the fight against poverty in a down-to-earth manner." Zhang Ling kept the request of the general secretary in mind.
Before getting on the bus after the investigation, the general secretary deliberately took Zhang Ling's hand and exhorted: "You see that the folks still have great expectations, and they must fulfill their promises to the people one by one."
President Xi Kaishasha (thanks), we have moved into a new house
On February 11, 2019, the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Aki Society of Sanhe Village was full of joy. 29 households and 168 people, including the Lucky and Seeking Peace Festival Lie Amu's two families, all bid farewell to the adobe houses and moved into the Ribo world. It is the new home of the resettlement site.
"General Secretary Xi Kaishasha (Yi language, meaning "thank you"), we have moved into the new house"-On the outer wall of the new house, villagers put up bilingual Yi-Chinese banners to express their gratitude to the general secretary.
The beautiful new houses are strewn together, with a mixed structure of brick and wood, with blue tiles and yellow walls and carved wooden windows, which show the characteristics of the Yi people. "In the future, we are going to develop rural tourism and are building hotels and other tourist facilities." Zhang Ling introduced.
The new home that Jihao also wanted is on the side of the road. The living room, kitchen, bathroom, storage room are reasonably distributed, sofa, coffee table, dining table, TV, etc. are all available. "The house is 100 square meters!" Ji Hao also asked with a happy smile on his face.
Sanhe Village covers an area of 19.24 square kilometers, and 9 resettlement sites are scattered on 9 different mountain beams. Construction started on April 27, 2018. Each resettlement site requires a lot of coordination work. It is necessary to connect with counties, townships and other units throughout the whole process, and to communicate closely with the construction party, as well as mass work. Although there are many clues, Zhang Ling is busy and not chaotic.
Infrastructure projects have damaged some roads in the village, making it inconvenient for vehicles to transport building materials. Coupled with the long rainy season in Liangshan, construction is intermittent and progress is slow. "The villagers must be allowed to live in the new house as soon as possible!" Zhang Ling patiently and meticulously did the work of the construction party, and at the same time organized the villagers to set up a housing safety supervision team to supervise the construction period and construction quality.
Workers are needed to build a house. Zhang Ling first thought of poor households. He actively negotiated with the person in charge of construction, and obtained work opportunities for 35 poor families. "Building your own house, you can still make money, everyone is happy." Zhang Ling said.
The house was built, but several villagers in the Luogu family branch did not want to move. "The new home is too far away from the cultivated land, which is not convenient." It turned out that at the new settlement site, the Luogu family members were drawn to the second row. They were far away from the cultivated land and lived in scattered places. They were a little reluctant.
"The old house may be in danger at any time. The new house has water, electricity and internet, and it is also convenient to go to the village. The problem of being a little far away from the cultivated land will be solved together." Zhang Ling and the team members in the village work from house to house and finally convinced The last few villagers.
You have to have a new look when you live in a new house
"On that day, at a symposium at the Amu’s house in Jielie’s house, a villager told the general secretary that she had been ill before and always thought it was “a ghost possessed”. The general secretary jokingly said that there were indeed “ghosts” in the past. Ignorance, backwardness, and poverty are "ghosts." When these problems are solved, if you have a culture, care about hygiene, and live a good life, the "ghosts" will naturally be driven away." Zhang Ling recalled.
For a long time in the past, many Yi people still maintained a traditional production and lifestyle.
"To live in a new house, you have to have a new look." Zhang Ling led the cadres in the village to adapt to local conditions to help poor households to do the "five ones": raising a cow, a pig, a group of chickens, and planting an acre of potatoes per capita. A piece of pepper garden. "We also plan to let poor households breed Simmental cattle, which will be effective in more than two years, and one can sell for 10,000 yuan!"
At present, characteristic industries such as Yunmuxiang planting and bee breeding in Sanhe Village have begun to take shape. The village also plans to develop economic fruit forests, which will not only increase the income of the villagers, but also bring flowers to bees. More than 1,000 snow peach seedlings donated by the State Grid Liangshan Power Supply Company were in place in March this year.
"I didn't understand the medical insurance policy before, and I often made jokes. Later, the village cadres took me to the hospital to register for medicine and also helped me reimburse the medical expenses." A villager said, "In the past, people and animals lived together, and livestock feces were piled in the yard. When it rains and sewage flows, every house has been completely rectified, and people and animals live separately!"
Evaluate sanitation stars and reward good habits; buy washing machines to encourage frequent laundry; establish a red and white council to change the old concept of thick burial and thin support... Now Sanhe Village, a new civilized fashion is being developed.
"When the General Secretary left Sanhe Village that day, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village, and many people shed tears." Zhang Ling said, "In the past two years, folks have always asked me, when will the General Secretary come to our village again? The folks of the Yi ethnic group said that we can invite the general secretary to come again if everyone is holding back their energy and doing something new."
