Special topic on "Da Guo Xin Cun: Following the Footprints of General Secretary"
The nation must be revitalized, and the countryside must be revitalized.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "the most arduous and arduous task of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country still lies in rural areas. We will prioritize the development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integration of urban and rural development, and facilitate the flow of urban and rural factors. We will accelerate the construction of an agricultural strong country and solidly promote the revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations." The People's Forum website has launched a series of reports on "New Villages in a Great Country: Following the Footprints of General Secretary", telling the story of the revitalization of the vast rural areas of China. Today, let's walk into Zhenxing Village, Butou Town, Xianju County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, and experience the new scene of happiness here.
In the prime of summer, strolling through Zhenxing Village in Butou Town, Xianju County, rows of white walled and red tiled houses are neatly arranged, hardened cement roads connect every household, and smiling villagers leisurely play in the square park... vivid scenes of livable, business friendly, and beautiful countryside can be seen everywhere in the village's alleys and alleys.
Zhenxing Village is composed of four natural villages: Sanxi Village, Sidong Village, Bao'an Village, and Yongxin Village. After two rounds of administrative village scale adjustments in 2013 and 2018, a new village called "Revitalization" has been established, symbolizing "rural revitalization".
Over the past seventeen years, Zhenxing Village has always kept in mind its instructions, deeply implemented the "Ten Million Project", focused on party building and development, actively planned various livelihood issues, and continuously strengthened the collective economy of the village. It has gradually achieved a good development momentum of "capable people governing the village and people participating", and entered the "fast lane" of common prosperity.

Leading by Party building, forging the "root" and "soul" of grassroots governance
Rural governance, people's safety, and national stability. To promote rural revitalization, effective governance is the foundation, and the leadership of the Party is the key.
How to revitalize rural areas? The key lies in strengthening the cadre team in the village.

The village committee is an important force in achieving modernization of rural governance, promoting rural economic development, and stabilizing rural society. In 2020, Zhenxing Village took the opportunity of the change of village level leadership to reshape the cadre team and invited multiple outstanding talents who had developed outside to serve as village cadres. At the same time, Butou Town also strengthens the stationed forces for revitalizing the village, and the chairman of the town's people's congress contacts the village.
Under the leadership of the new "Two Committees", Zhenxing Village has gradually improved and perfected village rules and regulations, established good village customs and traditions, standardized the village level financial supervision system, enhanced the credibility of village level organizations, and organized cadres to study contents such as the "Ten Strict Governance of the Party" and the "List of Small and Micro Powers". This has forced cadres to establish a strong sense of rules and regulations, further promote the transparency of party affairs, village affairs, and finance, and give rural revitalization a "backbone".

In addition, Zhenxing Village has also established the "Zhenxing School", taking the Zhenxing Village Party organization as the axis of the town's party building joint construction, pairing and co building with the party branch of the central primary school in Butou Town, adhering to the joint use and sharing of party building resources, joint management of party member teams, joint organization and discussion of activities, and joint assistance of volunteer services, promoting the two-way improvement of party building business, injecting warmth and vitality into grassroots party building work. We have created a village party building corridor with the theme of "being willing to dedicate, daring to create, and committed to the future", comprehensively introducing the development history and achievements of revitalizing the village, and inspiring party members and cadres to strive for excellence.
Once the organization is strengthened, people's hearts will unite, and the momentum for development and revitalization will be sufficient.
Industrial support, building a major artery for common prosperity and blood production
Industrial revitalization is of utmost importance in rural revitalization.
"In the past, the pigsty and thatched pit in the village were all in front and behind the house. Sometimes chickens and ducks were kept at home, and the environment was extremely poor." Chen Hongwei, a villager from Zhenxing Village, recalled the old village and shook his head repeatedly.
In the face of this "three no villages" without mountains, forests, fields, and riverbanks, as well as the problem of many impoverished and disabled households in the village, Zhang Xinjian, who was then the first secretary of Zhenxing Village and rural work instructor, proposed a new idea of using environmental improvement as the starting point through repeated research and careful consideration, to drive farmers to become rich and prosperous through centralized breeding, expanding and strengthening the "big white goose industry".
Zhenxing Village Jiangteng Big White Goose Professional Cooperative
Jiangteng Big White Goose Professional Cooperative has emerged. The Zhenxing Village operates under the model of "cooperatives+bases+impoverished/disabled households", leading low-income farmers to increase their income and become prosperous. Considering the favorable conditions of unobstructed and sufficient lighting around the goose farm, Zhenxing Village will also organically combine "breeding large white geese, developing new energy, and strengthening the village collective economy", and cooperate with Jiangteng Large White Goose Professional Cooperative to build a photovoltaic power generation project. At present, the first and second phases of photovoltaic projects have been completed and connected to the grid for power generation, adding approximately 500000 yuan to the village collective's annual income.
In order to facilitate the employment and income increase of villagers, under the guidance of local elites, Zhenxing Village actively connects with the Yiwu incoming material processing market, develops incoming material processing projects with low investment, low risk, and flexible employment methods, and has built the "Revitalization and Shared Prosperity Workshop" and "Revitalization and Zhenxin Shared Prosperity Workshop", providing more than 50 employment opportunities for villagers, effectively promoting their income growth and prosperity.
Nowadays, the construction of revitalization projects in the village is booming, and the collective economy of the village is growing day by day. The engine of "revitalization" is full of power.
Cultural revitalization, allowing villagers to have a greater sense of achievement and happiness
Rural revitalization and common prosperity not only require "rich pockets", but also "rich minds". In recent years, the revitalization of cultural undertakings has given villagers a new understanding of "a happy new life".
Every night, the small square in front of the Zhenxing Village Cultural Hall becomes lively. Villagers who have finished dinner come out of their homes and gather on the small square to enjoy their daily life, watching children chase and play, watching a basketball game, or playing a game of chess. This has become a daily routine for the residents. This not only enriches everyone's spiritual and cultural life, but also brings the relationship between neighbors closer.
Revitalizing the village, actively constructing and improving cultural and sports facilities within the village. The cultural and artistic stage with an investment of 1.2 million yuan is about to be completed, and the standard plastic basketball court has been built and put into use; At the same time, the village also formed 10 cultural and artistic teams, including row dancing, waist drum, folk music, and horse jumping, with nearly 200 villagers participating. During important festivals such as Spring Festival, June 1st, July 1st, and Double Ninth, the village carries out a variety of cultural and artistic activities. The activities of the County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, such as "Farewell to the Countryside" and cultural volunteers "Literary and Art Visits", also occasionally bring surprises to the villagers. The "Taizhou Luan Dan" theater troupe is on tour, and the "Revitalization Cup" village level basketball league is performing brilliantly. The "consecutive performances" make the villagers exclaim their satisfaction.

The cultural and sports square in the village also bears the function of "cultural people". The activity of sending Zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, the large-scale literary and artistic performance of "never forget the original intention and revitalize in red", the activity of loving the old and respecting the old in the "most beautiful sunset red" Double Ninth Festival, etc., nourish the people with red culture and traditional culture, and promote the village style and folk custom to become more honest.
There are many villagers going out to work and do business in Zhenxing Village, and many left behind children lack family care. In order to promote the healthy growth of children, in August 2019, Zhenxing Village established the "Dongli Home" Zhenxing School in Butou, and formed a volunteer service team consisting of "Party members+volunteers+social workers". During weekends, they checked homework for left behind children, conducted training in traditional Chinese culture, calligraphy and painting, and played games with them, allowing children to grow up happily and healthily. This allowed parents who went out to start businesses and find employment with peace of mind, and also added harmony and stability to the village.

The transformation of Zhenxing Village is a microcosm of the development of Xianju rural areas. In the process of promoting the "Thousand Village Demonstration and Ten Thousand Village Renovation" project, Xianju continuously polishes its ecological background, optimizes its industrial characteristics, enhances its development status, and strives to create a new happy landscape of rural beauty, industrial prosperity, and people's prosperity. This year marks the beginning of the comprehensive implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as well as the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the "Ten Million Project" in Zhejiang. Xianju County will continue to strengthen its confidence, work hard, and implement the key work of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization in detail. Through long-term efforts and sustained efforts, we will strive to play a resounding hymn to rural revitalization in the new era.
