Original title: Visiting the former Central Soviet Area of Gansu, Fujian and Guangdong – Thanksgiving and Endeavouring Red Land Exhibition
Jiangxi Ganzhou, Yudu River. The Central Red Army’s Long March Departure Monument, shaped like a sail, stands majestically, marking the red glory of the past, and also showing the high-spirited efforts of the present.
The former Central Soviet Area of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong was the largest revolutionary base in the country during the Agrarian Revolutionary War.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited and investigated the former Central Soviet Area for many times to cherish the memory of revolutionary martyrs. It is the general secretary’s concern to let the elders and villagers in the old revolutionary areas, including the former Central Soviet Area, live a good life.
“Now that the country has developed and the people’s lives are better, we must drink water and think of the source. Don’t forget the revolutionary martyrs, and don’t forget the common people in the Central Soviet Area.”
“Accelerating the development of the old Soviet area is a responsibility we can never forget.”
“It is necessary to promote the comprehensive revitalization of the old Soviet area, and make every effort to support the improvement of characteristic industries, infrastructure construction and public service guarantees in the old Soviet area.”
“The Communist Party seeks happiness for the people, and the Party Central Committee wants to do everything possible to make the people live a good life. The sesame blossoms are growing, and the future will be better!”
Yin Yin entrusts people to be full of affection, gentle and inspiring.
In the warm spring season, walking through the red land, what you hear and see is the great changes in urban and rural areas, and what you feel is the gratitude and progress of the people of the Soviet Union.
On the fields, there is a happy expectation of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization——
In the old area of southern Gansu, 1.143 million rural poor people were lifted out of poverty as scheduled. In Tantou Village, Zishan Town, Yudu County, Jiangxi Province, the smiling faces of the descendants of the Red Army heroes and grandsons were posted on the “Smiley Wall” at the entrance of the village. The selenium-enriched industry and tourism industry in the village are booming, and the selenium-enriched agricultural products grown by Sun Guanfa have become hot sellers. Sun Guanfa’s family income last year was more than 230,000 yuan from homestays, restaurants, and supermarkets. “This was something I couldn’t even imagine in the past!”
To comprehensively promote rural revitalization, the people in Shaxian District, Sanming City, Fujian Province are fully motivated. “Searching for roots and flavors” has become an “internet celebrity check-in place”, old houses have become new homestays, and Shaxian snacks are moving towards standardization and industrialization… The appearance of Yubang Village in Xia Mao Town is changing with each passing day, and the owner of the snack, Yu He Chuan, is more confident: ” Back then, Yu Bangcun took the lead in making snacks; now, in the new journey of creating a better life, we still have to lead the way!”
Among the lucid waters and lush mountains, the fiery practice of “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” can be seen everywhere——
Wuping County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, is known as the “First County of Forest Reform” in the country. The experience in the reform of rural collective forest tenure system originated in Wuping County has made important contributions to the reform of the national collective forest tenure system. Li Guilin, a villager in Jiewen Village, Wan’an Town, who received the country’s first new forest tenure certificate, witnessed the changes in the mountains: “It used to be hard to find trees with a thick bowl, but now they are all big trees.” Today, “Yangshan Fushan”, the green economy of Jiewen Village is booming. The planting of Purple Ganoderma lucidum in the forest alone reaches more than 1,600 mu, which increases the villagers’ income by more than 6 million yuan every year.
Walking into the camellia oil base in Qunfeng Village, Chayang Town, Dapu County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, the camellia trees on the hills are full of green. Through the introduction of key forestry leading enterprises to grow camellia oleifera, the local barren hills have become a cornucopia of green and gold. “In addition to the 10 mu of camellia oleifera at home, you can also go to the camellia oleifera base to do weeding, fertilization and other management work, which can increase your income by more than 9,000 yuan a year.” said Yu Shuzhen, a villager in Qunfeng Village. At present, the planting area of Camellia oleifera in Meizhou reaches more than 700,000 mu.
In the factory building in the park, the ambition to strive for the first-class is aroused——
In Ganxian District, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, a rare earth permanent magnet servo motor independently developed by Zhongke Tuoyouda Intelligent Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. has reached the international advanced level and is widely used in new energy vehicles, wind power, robots and other fields. Focusing on promoting the high-quality development of the rare earth industry, Ganxian District’s “China Rare Gold Valley” has 9 national-level innovation platforms and 16 provincial-level innovation platforms, attracting 9 academician teams to settle in, with an output value of nearly 40 billion yuan.
In Shanghang County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, Fujian Del Technology Co., Ltd. has an impressive goal – “to create a world-class electronic chemical material base”. The high-purity electronic chemical materials developed by the company have filled the domestic gap with a number of technologies. In Shanghang County, surrounded by mountains, the output value of the new material industry will exceed 10 billion yuan in 2020, and it will be close to 20 billion yuan in 2021.
The spirit of the Soviet area with firm belief, truth-seeking and pragmatism, single-mindedness for the people, honesty and integrity, hard work, striving for first-class, selfless dedication, etc., is deeply integrated into the blood of the cadres and masses of the former central Soviet area. “In the past, ‘Let the revolution go ahead, engage in production and compete for the top’, now revitalization and development can also be an example.” This is the spirit and ambition of the cadres and masses in the former Central Soviet Area.
In March this year, the State Council approved the construction of high-quality development demonstration zones in Ganzhou and western Fujian. This red land will take on the important task of “building a model for the revitalization and development of old revolutionary areas in the new era”. Don’t forget the way you came, stride on a new journey, the old area is not old, and it is flourishing.
