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 Minzhu Village and Xianfeng Village in Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, and experience how the local community has led a new path of common prosperity through party building.

In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed during a visit to Inner Mongolia that "from a national perspective, the most difficult task of promoting common prosperity for all people lies in some border ethnic areas. These border ethnic areas cannot be left behind on the road to common prosperity."

At present, the collective economic income of all 652 Gacha villages in the city has reached over 100000 yuan, and the per capita disposable income of permanent residents in rural and pastoral areas is 24403 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%.

Pioneer Village: Prioritizing Ecological Protection and Promoting Development

During his inspection tour of Wuliangsuhai, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the direction of governance and protection of Wuliangsuhai is clear, and it is necessary to carefully manage and take good care of it, and to protect this "pearl beyond the Great deal." leave a beautiful home with green mountains, beautiful waters and new air for future generations.

Xianfeng Village has a bountiful harvest of honey melons, and villagers are actively picking them

Xianfeng Village, Xin'an Town, Urad Front Banner, is located on the west bank of Wuliangsu Sea. The land is severely saline alkali, and it has always been a poor harvest. Located on the edge of the Wuliangsu Sea, how to solve the problem of both protection and development? Pioneer Village has embarked on a path of integrated development.

In order to increase the income of farmers, in recent years, the local government has actively explored various ways to achieve mutual benefits and win-win results in environmental protection and income growth for farmers. In order to further improve the internal pollution of Wuliangsuhai and increase the income channels for farmers, the village has implemented a grass feed processing plant, using Wuliangsuhai seaweed as raw material for feed processing. The construction of the project is not only conducive to the ecological environment protection of Wuliangsuhai, but also alleviates the problem of feed resource shortage and promotes the development of animal husbandry.

In addition, the village party branch adopts a model of "branch+enterprise+farmer", using land and funds to invest in dividends, increasing the collective operating income of the village, establishing long-term cooperative relationships with farmers, especially poverty alleviation monitoring households, solving the employment problem of 105 villagers, increasing per capita annual income by 35000 yuan, and achieving the unity of ecological benefits, economic benefits, and social benefits.

Under the guidance of ecological priority and green development orientation, Xianfeng Village continues to carry out agricultural non-point source pollution prevention and control work. By vigorously developing new technologies such as Yellow River drip irrigation and integrated water and fertilizer, it effectively improves the utilization rate of irrigation water, reduces fertilizer volatilization and loss, and significantly saves labor costs, improving the level of large-scale planting.

By promoting the technology of Yellow River drip irrigation and integrated water and fertilizer, the corn yield in Xianfeng Village has reached a new high, and the corn harvesters are busy working

Due to its close proximity to the Wuliangsu Sea, the Honggepu Society in Xianfeng Village has a high degree of land infiltration and salinization, coupled with poor infrastructure, which seriously restricts local agricultural development and income growth for residents. In 2018, the local government implemented a high standard farmland project and a large-scale water fertilizer integrated Yellow River drip irrigation renovation project. The Yellow River water was introduced into the reservoir, and after sedimentation and filtration, it entered the drip irrigation system for farmland irrigation, saving water and fertilizer.

"Previously, we needed 70 kilograms of fertilizer per acre of land, but now we only use 40 kilograms of fertilizer. It used to cost 35 yuan to irrigate one acre of land, but now it only costs about 8 yuan," said Tian Chun, a villager from Xianfeng Village excitedly.

Nowadays, Xianfeng Village is comprehensively promoting the development of water and fertilizer integration, moving from a water and fertilizer integration technology model that is easy to manage, promote, and install to a high-quality, high-efficiency, and large-scale water and fertilizer integration technology model. Through project implementation, it promotes the reduction and efficiency increase of agricultural water-saving irrigation fertilizers, optimizes planting structures, reduces farmland water withdrawal, improves fertilizer utilization, further reduces fertilizer leaching emissions, and improves the comprehensive management results of Wuliangsuhai.

Democratic Village: Leading Governance, Common Prosperity, and Double Improvement with "Head Goose"

Pavilions, towers, pavilions, and green trees surround a secluded area with a water system.

In the midsummer season, walking into Minzhu Village, Ganzhao Temple Town, Linhe District, Bayannur City, feels like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, making one feel relaxed and happy. Behind the beautiful and charming picture is the vivid practice of the village party branch practicing the organizational line of the new era party, playing the exemplary role of party members, leading villagers to improve grassroots social governance, and accelerating rural revitalization.

Democratic Village Facility Agricultural Industrial Park

In the past, democratic villages were poorly managed, with disharmonious relationships between cadres and the masses. Many public welfare undertakings and policies benefiting the people were difficult to implement, making them a well-known "petitioning village" in the local area. The village's industrial development, democratic governance, and other work went downhill, becoming a well-known and labeled "backward village".

There are three things at home, let's start with the tight ones. In 2015, members of the "Two Committees" of the Democratic Village innovatively implemented the "Five Person Group" work method based on household visits and solicitation of opinions. They selected villagers with prestige, culture, ability, and consciousness, and formed a "Five Person Group" with the village group leader and party group leader. Through "five mouths participating in discussions, ten eyes supervising the entire process, and five pens reviewing and checking", they achieved democratic governance at the "doorstep" of villagers. Through this work method, the "knot" of the masses has been untied, the prestige of party members and cadres has been established, the work situation has been opened up, and the "democratic" village is even more worthy of its name.

Through the door-to-door work of the members of the "Five Person Group" who are "small and live, detailed and practical", as of August 2022, the village has successively adjusted and cancelled 32 households' subsistence allowances, successfully resolved 32 cases of the backlog of letters and visits over the years, mobilized villagers to raise more than 2.6 million yuan, built 74.9 kilometers of village level small oil roads, and built 8 cultural activity rooms.

A thousand principles, a thousand principles, development is the hard truth. After solving the problem of village governance, how to lead the local people to live a happy and fulfilling life has become the work goal of the democratic village party branch.

Apple pear is a unique fruit in the Hetao area of Inner Mongolia, known as the "ugly pear of China" due to its large size, good color, juicy taste, and strong flavor. It is planted in almost every household in the democratic village. Although the yield is high, the benefits are poor, which has become a concern for local fruit farmers. In response to the situation of a single industrial structure in village groups and insufficient momentum for increasing farmers' income, the "two committees" of the democratic village actively "go out", study and inspect outside, conduct internal research and tap potential, and have determined the development strategy of "industrialized development+rural tourism".

A Scenery of Democratic Village Rural Tourism

In recent years, the Democratic Village Party Branch has actively sought project funding, built a farmer's market covering an area of over 4000 square meters and a 1500 square meter refrigerated and fresh-keeping warehouse, introduced and promoted more than 20 new varieties, invited experts from both urban and secondary levels to impart experience and technology to fruit farmers, implemented refined management and scientific planting, registered the "Ugly Pear" trademark, formulated full chain standards from cultivation to picking, and improved the added value of products. Apple pears have been sold locally for 6 yuan per kilogram, starting from 2 yuan per kilogram. They have been exported to Jiangsu, Guangdong, and other places at a price of 11 yuan per kilogram, making this industry a "sweet cake" for villagers to get rich.

Focusing on extending and expanding the industrial chain, we will build a rural complex that integrates beautiful villages, courtyard economy, sand area experience, garden sightseeing, and agricultural product trade. Democratic Village actively cultivates a "beautiful economy" with beautiful villages, beautiful courtyards, and beautiful countryside as the main body, vigorously promotes rural tourism with agricultural sightseeing, picking, farmhouse catering, accommodation experience, health and wellness, and cultural leisure as the main content, attracting urban residents to experience the local flavor and rural flavor. Every year, we receive more than 200000 tourists from both inside and outside the area.
