From the Jiangnan water village to the Gobi desert, from the frontier of reform to the county town, for more than 700 days and nights, he traveled all the villages in Keping County, sincerely doing practical work for the villagers until the last moment of his life.

He is Huang Qunchao, commander of the Xinjiang Aid Command of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province and deputy secretary of the Keping County CPC Committee.

On August 11, 2015, Huang Qunchao suffered a heart attack due to overwork and fell ill at the aid post in Xinjiang. His life was fixed at the age of 47.

Keping County is located in the south of the small county town, with a total population of only 50,000, full of desert, Gobi, bad climate and extreme water shortage. It is a state-level poverty-stricken county, even buying vegetables and remitting money to Aksu City, which is more than 160 kilometers away.

In August 2013, Huang Qunchao, then Deputy Secretary-General of Huzhou Municipal Government, was selected to assist Xinjiang. Without saying a word, he said goodbye to his wife, children and mother, and came to Keping without hesitation.

Just over a month after arriving in Keping, Huang Qunchao traveled all over the county's government departments, townships and villages. For more than 700 days, he braved a sandstorm and stepped on thick snow, walking through the red desert, saline land and the Gobi Desert.

"even if you are overdrawn, you will not be in debt at work," Huang Qunchao said. Over the past 30 years, jobs and positions have been changing, but every time he arrives at a new position, he is very devoted to it and can quickly become an expert and do a good job.

Jin Ning, deputy commander of the Huzhou Xinjiang Aid Command, said: "the commander is famous for his passion and seriousness in his work, and for this reason, some comrades are afraid of working under the commander because of his high requirements, fast tempo, and excessive overtime. People are afraid of him, but they respect him more. He is often the first to arrive at the office every day, and he is also the last to leave. " A doctor aiding Xinjiang said, "when we come back from the night shift, we can often see Commander Huang's office light still on, his busy figure reflected in the window, and everyone admires his professionalism."

Keping's natural conditions are scarce, what industry can help farmers get rich? After a solid and detailed investigation of each project, Huang Qunchao considered introducing Huyang from Huzhou to Keping.

Xu Jiping, a former commander of the Xinjiang Aid Command in Zhejiang Province, recalled, "one day, he came to my office and excitedly told me that he had found a project that he could vigorously promote-raising Hu sheep." Xu Jiping said that at that time he felt that Huang Qunchao was "fooling around."

At the beginning, the county and the Xinjiang aid headquarters were not sure about this project. However, Huang Qunchao has a lot of strength when he is sure of things. Qunchao said that he had done his homework, and some farmers were already raising Hu sheep. After that, he accompanied me to a field trip to the farmers' homes and repeatedly investigated and demonstrated. " Xu Jiping said.

To this end, Huang Qunchao returned to Huzhou three times to participate in sheep selection, epidemic surveillance and transportation coordination. In 2014, 1600 Hu sheep set off in two batches from the south bank of Taihu Lake and traveled thousands of miles to Keping.

"under the leadership of Commander Huang, Huyang has achieved zero death in ten thousand miles transportation and zero death in safe passage through the stress period, which can be called a miracle." Xie Dingyuan, director of the Keping County Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau, said that local mutton sheep give birth to one lamb and reproduce more slowly, while Hu sheep have multiple lambs, breeding and growing faster.

Today, the 1600 Hu sheep breeder sheep introduced by Huang Qunchao have produced 2356 lambs, and the newly-built Huyang industrialization extension center has also been put into use. The Huyang industrialization project of "enterprise + base + peasant household" has opened up a new channel for local farmers to get rich.

Huang Qunchao recorded a sentence in his notebook, "when you come, it is a seed, and when you leave, it will be full of fruit in the garden." Stroll in Keping urban and rural areas, radio and television buildings, cultural and sports activity centers, rich people living in a safe house, cultural auditorium. Within two years, Huang Qunchao organized and implemented 37 aid projects in Xinjiang, allocating 156 million yuan of funds for Xinjiang, covering employment, industry, education, health, intellectual support and other fields.

More than 700 days away from home, Huang Qunchao devoted himself to the welfare of the villagers and sowed the seeds of great love in the hearts of the masses.

Kumuya Village, Gaizili Township, is Huang Qunchao's counterpart help village. he has been to every family, every villager knows him, and he always has an "emergency list" in his mind.

Villagers Tunisn Rozi is a low-income household, her husband lost his labor force due to a heart attack, two of his three children are still in school, and the family lives on only 15 mu of land. "Secretary Huang often comes to see us, sends money, medicine and food to my family, brings school supplies and tutoring books to the children, and encourages me to strengthen my confidence and think of more ways." Standing in his yard, Tunisn Rozi could not help burst into tears.

13-year-old Enikal Akbar is an orphan. Huang Qunchao adopted him in 2014. "Father Huang loves me very much. Whenever he is free, he will come and chat with me, take me to play, and buy me school supplies and new clothes." Anikal bowed his head and wept in a low voice.

The 61-year-old Musharrahman's wife died and his only daughter married to Yili. Because he had no other relatives and was in poor health, he was admitted to a nursing home for the elderly. The old man Musa had a high fever the year before last. Huang Qunchao went to see him when he learned of it. At that time, the old man in Musa could not get up. When Secretary Huang saw the urinal in front of the bed, he directly took it out and dumped it. The old man Musa cried and said, "he is really closer than his own doll. He is my relative!"

On August 14, 2015, the farewell ceremony for Huang Qunchao's body was held in Keping. As soon as it was dawn, hundreds of people who came spontaneously to bid farewell crowded to the gate of the Huzhou Xinjiang Aid headquarters. Some Uighur villagers who knew Huang Qunchao wiped away their tears and muttered to themselves, "such a nice doll, why don't you say it's gone?"

After Huang Qunchao's death, half of his ashes returned to his hometown with his family, and half of them were gently scattered under the poplar trees of the Huyang Development Center, the Red Jujube Garden, the Hongsha River and the windbreak forest.
