Enlighten: ecologically enrich the people and get rid of the "poor hat"

A (Reporter Zhu Haiyang) "almost every family has a car, and the roads are hardened to every household; sewage is discharged one by one, and greening can be seen everywhere; last year, the per capita income of farmers also exceeded 20,000 yuan." Speaking of the changes in recent years, Zheng Chuyi, secretary of the party branch of Jinxing Village, is very proud. In Kaihua County, Zhejiang Province, there are more and more villages like Venus in recent years. How to get rid of the "poor hat" and become "green and rich"? It depends on the development road of enriching the people ecologically.

90% of Kaihua is a mountain. Because of its remote location and inconvenient transportation, the development of Kaihua was once difficult. In 1998, Kaihua took the lead in establishing "ecological county" strategy in the country, and in 2003, it formally regarded the establishment of ecological county as an important starting point to promote economic and social development. For the sake of green waters and green mountains, Kaihua strictly controlled the "ecological gate" and vetoed polluting enterprises with one vote. after the new century, a total of 65 pollution projects were vetoed, involving an investment of more than 10 billion yuan.

But what about development? Like many "backward villages," this is a problem that must be answered in Jinxing Village: ten years ago, it was difficult to find a car in Jinxing Village, and there was only one hardened road in the village, leaving all mud roads, open-air toilets and garbage pools can be seen everywhere. More than 70% of the villagers go out to work for years, and the per capita net income is only a few thousand yuan.

"the remarks made by the General Secretary immediately hit the point of our excitement!" Talking about the scene at that time, Zheng Chu-Yi was still excited. It was August 16, 2006, and Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial CPC Committee, came to Jinxing Village for research. He told Zheng Chunyi: "everyone has something to do and every family has an income. This is the new countryside."

Jinxing Village seized the opportunity of forest rights reform, nearly 10,000 mu of mountain forest confirmed the right to households, and then produced famous tea in the way of "cooperatives + farmers". In the past, several families grew tea, but now it has grown to more than 300 households, and the tea garden covers an area of more than 1000 mu. As the village becomes more and more beautiful, the late-development advantages of green mountains and green waters begin to be highlighted. In 2013, Jinxing Village made great efforts in rural tourism, and now the whole village is a 3A-class scenic spot. Villagers opened 10 farmhouses, and a tourist reception center was built last year.

"adhering to the 'ecological establishment of counties' does not mean that we do not want economic development. Green and rich people still have to be based on development." Xiang Ruiliang, secretary of the Kaihua County CPC Committee, said that after more than a decade of exploration and practice, a path of "green development and ecological prosperity" with the protection of the ecological environment as the premise and the ecological leisure tourism industry as the support, with improving people's quality of life as the core, has gradually become clear.

Qixi Town, located at the junction of Zhejiang and Anhui, is the market town at the source of the Qiantang River. The town area is very large, with mountains everywhere, but the population is less than 7000. It is impossible to develop industry, so the town takes a different approach and chooses the leisure and tourism industry, which is mainly based on farm music and residential economy. At present, there are 7 villages in 10 villages in Qixi, all of which have become demonstration villages of Nongjiale, with a total of more than 200 operators, which is becoming more and more popular. It can be said that the "way of money" is unlimited.

The reporter found that in recent years, from the perspective of Kaihua's industrial structure, the tertiary industry, including eco-tourism and cultural industries, has increased steadily, and its share exceeded the secondary industry for the first time in 2014, achieving a historic leap. Statistics show that last year, Kaihua invested nearly 2.1 billion yuan in the tourism industry, receiving about 6.9 million tourists, with a total tourism revenue of more than 4.2 billion yuan.

Song Hongyuan, director of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, commented that the road of enriching the people ecologically for more than a decade in Kaihua is not only a beneficial exploration of a new type of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics, but also a vivid practice of "high output efficiency, product safety, resource conservation, and environmental friendliness"; it is also a vivid practice of China's dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way, to "strengthen agriculture, rich farmers, beautiful rural areas, and unify urban and rural areas."
