Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, February 7th (Reporter Wu Wenxu, Wang Di) "Crash … Crash …" After a burst of firecrackers, the "Spring Festival Reunion Dinner" for every household in Limin Village began. This year, before the reunion dinner table of villager Li Tianmeng’s home, there was a special "guest"-Wang Liangcheng, the first secretary of Limin Village.
Knowing that Li Tianmeng’s 15-year-old eldest daughter was about to drop out of school, Wang Liangcheng immediately rushed to Li Tianmeng’s home after the "Returning Villagers’ New Year Tea Party". "The custom of Chinese New Year here is to have a’ New Year Reunion Dinner’ at noon. I can’t go back at noon, so I can only go home to eat with my 90-year-old father at night." Wang Liang Cheng said.
Limin Village, Shuanglu Township, Pingchang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province, has inconvenient transportation, poor infrastructure and low economic level. There are 512 households in the village, of which 84 are poverty-stricken households with a poverty population of 273.
There are nearly 5 million poor people in Sichuan Province. In order to concentrate on fighting the tough battle against poverty, Sichuan Province has sent more than 10,000 outstanding government officials to serve as the "first secretary" in the poverty-stricken village of Filing Lika.
Wang Liangcheng, who is not tall and slightly gray-haired, is an official cadre of the Pingchang County Development and Reform Bureau. As the backbone of the poverty alleviation team in the unit, he worked in Limin Village, Shuanglu Township, Pingchang County for more than a year. In June 2015, due to his familiarity with the situation, Wang Liangcheng was selected as the "first secretary" of Limin Village. At the beginning of his tenure, he solemnly promised to the villagers: Limin Village will never leave unless it is lifted out of poverty!
Wang Liangcheng immediately launched a series of plans to uproot the "poor roots" of Limin Village: improving infrastructure, building roads and water conservancy, adjusting the traditional industrial structure, vigorously attracting successful people from abroad to return to their hometowns to start businesses, solving people’s livelihood problems, and promoting accurate poverty alleviation in the whole village.
Restricted by the relatively closed geographical environment, for a long time, the villagers in Limin Village are conservative, generally lack the concept of market economy and are afraid of taking risks.
"Changing the concept of development is the first priority." Wang Liang Cheng said, "In May 2015, after investigation with experts from the county agricultural bureau, I judged that Limin Village had the conditions for planting salvia miltiorrhiza with high economic value on a large scale. However, the villagers are worried about losing money, or planting rice and wheat, and feel safe. "
In order to dispel the concerns of the villagers, Wang Liangcheng took some cadres and the masses to visit and study the 10,000-mu Chinese herbal medicine base in Qingfeng Town of the same county. Seeing is believing, and everyone came back and said that they would plant salvia miltiorrhiza. In 2015, 50 mu was planted, and the income per mu was about 8,000 yuan. "The largest household was Li Guangping, a villager from Sishe, who planted more than 2 mu. This year, 70 or 80 villagers have indicated that they want to plant Salvia miltiorrhiza." Wang Liang Cheng said.
Cold duck’s feet, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pickled dried bean curd … Rich dishes, family members sitting around a table, talking to each other, make this poor family’s "Spring Festival reunion dinner" look lively and festive.
Wang Liangcheng, who doesn’t drink on weekdays, had a few glasses of white wine with Li Tianmeng today, and his face turned slightly red in a moment. He patted Li Tianmeng on the shoulder and said, "I have already reflected the situation to the township, and some people have indicated that they want to subsidize your daughter’s schooling. No matter how poor you are, you can’t afford education! No matter how hard it is, you can’t suffer children! "
"Wang Liangcheng is an’ old ox’ secretary who is always working." Party member Li Chengen, a 76-year-old from Limin Village Third Society, said.
Li Chenglun, a villager from Sanshe, said that he called Wang Liangcheng for help last night. His wife with cancer was seriously ill, and Wang Liangcheng rushed back to the village from the county town overnight to help.
Wang Liang Cheng said: "When people encounter problems, they come to me and put aside their job responsibilities. This is a trust and recognition for me and thinks I am credible."
In order to make the whole village get rid of poverty and get rich as soon as possible, Wang Liangcheng paid attention to the whole village when promoting the precise poverty alleviation work, "helping the rich before getting rich", vigorously introduced entrepreneurship and implemented industry to revitalize the village.
Li Wei and Zhang Qingxian, villagers of Wushe, are engaged in construction contracting outside. In August last year, Wang Liangcheng invited them back to the village and founded the "Qingwei Ecological Agriculture Cooperative", which mainly engaged in chicken breeding and high-quality fruit planting under the forest, with 500 mu of forest land and 87 mu of cultivated land. There are a total of seven cooperatives, five of which are poor households with shares in land and forest land resources.
Sanshe Li Xiaoyun invested more than 5 million yuan to build a mineral water plant in the village, which solved the problem of local employment for more than 20 villagers.
Li Xiongwei, a villager from Sanshe, has transferred more than 30 mu of land, preparing to build a red heart honey pomelo garden …
"Not every callback can be successful." Wang Liang Cheng said, "I once went to Chongqing to invite a fellow villager back to invest, but it didn’t work out. I am not ashamed to reimburse the travel expenses of1,200 yuan. "
Talking about the wishes of the new year, Wang Liangcheng told reporters that there are still 10 kilometers of roads in the village that have not hardened and some villagers still have the problem of safe drinking water. These two things have always been his heart disease, and I hope to solve this problem through the support of precise poverty alleviation policies in the future.
"In addition, I hope to attract a large number of successful people abroad to return to the village to start businesses, and drive the poor households in the village to get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible." Wang Liang Cheng said.
