On July 18, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yaomo Village, Pengbao Town, Yuanzhou District, Guyuan City, Ningxia, to inspect the poverty alleviation work.

In the cold and cool vegetable base, the general secretary communicated cordially with the big planters and migrant workers, and learned about their "experiences of getting rich" and the difficulties they encountered in production.

Guo Shaoling, a villager from Yaomo Village who was working at the base, was there at the time.

Recently, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency visited Guo Shaoling, let us listen to her sharing the story of her struggle to grow into a wealthy leader under the encouragement of the general secretary and drive the masses to get rid of poverty and go to a well-off society——

  That day, we were really pleasantly surprised to see General Secretary Xi Jinping.

Party members and cadres in the village and large planters all crowded over.

General Secretary Xi Jinping asked about land contracting, farming and working, and dividends from shareholding. He also learned about the difficulties everyone encountered in production, and worked with us to calculate the input-output account.

  What impresses me most is that General Secretary Xi Jinping affirmed our "dual belt" project, which is to rely on the leaders of the village party organization and the leaders of getting rich to help the masses get rid of poverty and become rich.

The general secretary hopes that the village party branch will strengthen the functions of connecting the masses, serving the masses, uniting the masses, and benefiting the masses, inspiring and helping the masses to overcome difficulties with more confidence, determination and perseverance, and realize their dreams of becoming rich.

  Back then, I got rich with the "Double Belt" project.

At that time, when I saw that some people in the village made a good living by growing vegetables, I also tried it.

Unexpectedly, vegetables are as delicate as dolls.

Seeing that not a single celery that was grown so hard was sold, it was all rotten in the field and fed to the sheep, and I was so anxious that tears were streaming down my face.

Later, under the guidance of a capable person in the village, I learned the "doorway" of growing vegetables, and gradually "entered the door" on field management and market sales.

Under the guidance of the government, the village has opened stalls in wholesale markets in Zhengzhou, Xi'an and other places, accumulated regular customers and sales channels, and established an e-commerce sales platform. Our cold vegetables are also getting better and better sales.

  Over the years, my family has bought a house and a car.

When things got better, I kept the General Secretary's words in my heart, thinking that when I got rich, I would like to help others.

  Now, I am also recognized as a "get rich leader" by the organization.

In 2017, I joined the party with honor, and was later elected as the chairman of the Village Women's Federation.

Over the years, I have led and helped 5 poor households with registered cards.

  For a particularly difficult family, I took out the best land in the family and replaced it with him, and taught him how to grow vegetables.

In 2020, this poor household was lifted out of poverty.

At that time, I was as excited as the harvest in my own field.

  Today's Yaomo Village has straightened its waist and has become a well-known modern vegetable base of 10,000 mu, where every family grows vegetables.

The per mu yield benefit of cold vegetables in the village has increased from 3,000 yuan in 2016 to nearly 5,000 yuan now.
