Planting trees in high mountains, planting paulownia in low mountains, beating cattle craftsmen in deep mountains on the road to prosperity.

Dade Mountain, Hengling Mountain, Guohu Pond, Paotong Pond. The mountain looks at the mountain, and the pond is connected to the pond. This is the highest peak south of Fuhe River in Yangxin County, more than 750 meters above sea level. On April 16, the reporter followed the poverty alleviation task force of the propaganda Department of the Yangxin County CPC Committee to visit poor families in Wuhe Village, Fenglin Town.

Two poor families in Wuhe Village live in the Henglingshan Group, and the newly built Panshan Highway twists and turns, leading to the group's four natural bays. The reporter saw the group leader, Qi Qiqian, in Baotong Bay. He was strong and calloused in both hands. He was cutting bamboo and making disdainful goods.

This natural bay, called "Paulownia Pond", has more than a dozen green brick houses. In addition to working lacquer, there is also a father in his eighties. At the top of the mountain higher in Yuanwang is a lush Chinese fir forest, the house is surrounded by paulownia trees, and there is no one else in Wanzi.

According to Qi Qiqian, most of the villagers went out to work, and the old people also went to the bottom of the mountain to join their relatives and friends and take their children to school. There is no one in the Heyeping formation at the foot of the mountain, which is called "empty Nest Natural Bay". In the Henglingshan group, there are seven left-behind elderly people and six young and strong labourers, and the rest go out to work or do business.

Qi Qiqian is a businessman in the cattle business, and the local villagers call him a "cattle beater". He buys and sells cattle and drives vegetable cattle to a well-off society. By selling cattle, he moved from the mountain to the foot of the mountain and bought a house in the nearby town of Mugang. "you can't make money by selling cattle alone. You have to raise cattle and raise cattle in order to get rich. The mountains are full of ways to make money, and you can make a fortune by planting trees and flowers. " Qi Qiqian talked on and on while making disdainful goods.

Since 2012, Qi Qi Qian has been raising cattle on the mountain, giving full play to the rich grassland advantage of Hengling Mountain to raise vegetable cattle. Because all the villagers go out to work and do business. No one grows crops, vegetables and cattle run all over the mountains, fat and strong, and Qiqian has only a net income of more than 20,000 yuan a year. His family now raises 60 cattle, and plans to add another 6 this autumn.

In addition, Qi Qiqian planted Chinese fir trees on Hengling Mountain in the spring of 2013, with more than 10, 000 trees a year, up to 46000 at present. When planting trees this year, he and his wife led his son and wife up the mountain, digging trees to move seedlings and cultivate soil to plant trees. They worked for half a month, rain or shine, adding a new green to the barren Hengling Mountains. "trees are planted in the high mountains and paulownia in the low mountains. Get rich by the mountains and never be poor. " Qi Qiqian revealed his ideas for development. Through three years of efforts, he has planted more than 3600 paulownia trees. These paulownia trees flourish like rows of sentinels defending this old mountain village.

The old group leader, Qi Changgui, is also a professional cattle farmer, with more than 50 vegetable cattle. He admires Qi Qiqian: "from selling cattle to raising cattle, from raising cattle alone to raising cattle and afforestation, this is the right path."

He Xiuhe, secretary of the party branch of Wuhe Village, said that Qi Qiqian has led the villagers to plant trees and afforest, adding more than 1100 mu of greening area to the whole village last winter and this spring.
