Zhang Xitong, Director of the Old Village Committee of Xiaomaying Village in Wuzhi County and Secretary of the Retired Party Branch, on-the-spot report.
On the south side of Jiaozuo (East) Station of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, which is a famous north-south traffic artery, lies an obscure village.
Thirty years ago, it was a poor village with "tile roofs, straw mats as beds, food relief and begging for money".
Nowadays, when we walk into this village with a population of less than 300 people and a per capita arable land area of less than one acre, a modern atmosphere comes to us: the workshop workers in the factory are busy, the streets in the village are clean and spacious, and the residents' second-floor buildings are equipped with household appliances such as color TVs, refrigerators and washing machines, all of which show its wealth, civilization and vitality.
Speaking of the vicissitudes of Xiaomaying Village in recent years, the villagers will say with deep feelings: "Xiaomaying people can have today's good days thanks to Zhang Xitong, a good secretary of our village."
Zhang Xitong, who is nearly 80 years old, is a legendary task in the local area. This is not only because he has been a party branch secretary in Xiaomaying Village for more than 40 years, making the poor villages in the past a well-off village and a star village, but also because he has many enviable honors and identities-excellent party branch secretary, model worker, senior economist and senior political engineer in party member at the provincial, municipal and county levels, elected as a member of Wuzhi County Committee for six consecutive years, and elected as a representative of Jiaozuo Municipal People's Congress for seven consecutive years.
At the beginning of the Spring Festival, we entered Xiaomaying.
197 1 One evening in autumn, Zhang Xitong was informed by the commune party Committee that he was the secretary of the party branch of Xiaomaying Village.
Looking at the poor and hungry people, in the face of the poor and backward collective economy, Zhang Xitong resolutely shouldered the heavy burden.
The first thing Zhang Xitong did after taking office was to hold a mass meeting in the village. At the meeting, he looked at his fellow villagers with deep affection and solemnly made three promises: to ensure that the poor hats of Xiaomaying are thrown away within three to five years, so that the villagers can live a good life and never leave Xiaomaying.
At that time, the land where Xiaomaying lived was in a very bad condition. "Summer and autumn are water, and winter and spring are white; Only the toad cries, and no food appears, which is a true portrayal.
In order to improve the soil, Zhang Xitong led the whole village to fight against the cold and heat. After several years of spring and autumn, he just filled up 300 acres of pits and ponds.
Later, they planted green fields, built terraces, and treated saline-alkali land in unfilled pits and ponds ... Finally, the saline-alkali land in the past became a high-yield field, and the abandoned pits and ponds became lotus fish polyculture ponds, and Xiaomaying people no longer worried about food and clothing.
After bidding farewell to hunger, Zhang Xitong has a new goal: to make Xiaomaying people go from food and clothing to prosperity. However, just as he was about to throw off his arm and do a big job, 1982 broke the "big pot" situation in the countryside and made him fall into a passive position again. At that time, some local village cadres mistakenly thought that the collective economy was a "big pot" and only points were good. The village collective property did not even leave a nail, and the agricultural machinery was also broken into pieces and sold. However, he believes that this move is obviously not conducive to mechanized farming, and is not conducive to the future development of Xiaomaying, where per capita arable land is scarce. Therefore, it is precisely because of his correct thinking at that time that all the large-scale agricultural machinery and tools collectively owned by Xiaomaying Village were not divided. Therefore, the above-mentioned people accused that no matter whether it is hindering rural reform; The following people are also quietly complaining that cadres are afraid that there will be less oil and water after the division; Villagers in neighboring villages sneered that Zhang Xitong wanted to show off!
In this regard, Zhang Xitong insisted on proceeding from reality, accurately grasped the spirit of the central government, withstood the pressure from all sides, and made an amazing move with extraordinary courage and courage: except for vegetable fields, every household concentrated on planning responsibility fields, and large-scale agricultural machinery was still a collective property, and it was no longer divided down.
The benefits of this decision emerged in later practice. Farmers here never make it difficult to cultivate or water the land. Not only that, the water conservancy facilities in the village have been continuously improved, agricultural machinery has been continuously increased, land fertility has been continuously improved, and the ability to resist natural disasters has been gradually enhanced.
After more than ten years of self-reliance and hard struggle, Xiaomaying Village has harvested the harvest scene of Xiaotian wheat rushing to the beach in Jin Lang and the autumn wind sending Daoxiang, and has become a well-known "land of fish and rice"
Agriculture is a rice bowl, sideline is a vegetable basket, and industry is a farmer's purse.
Zhang Xitong recognized this principle.
From 1983, he embarked on a difficult road to entrepreneurship.
To start a business, Xiaomaying is faced with no funds, no technology and no talents. The problem of funds is the first difficulty. What shall we do? Zhang Xitong went to visit relatives and friends in Jiaozuo and Zhengzhou, and finally borrowed 1.3 million yuan, and gave it all to the accountant, and told him not to pay any interest in the village.
Under his influence, the cadres and masses in the village took action one after another. Some brought the money for children to marry their daughters, some sent the money accumulated for building houses, and some gave the money for selling livestock and food to the village.
In less than half a month, the villagers raised 50,000 yuan and divided it into Mao Mao, all thanks to the blood and sweat of the masses; This Mao Mao part reflects the ardent expectations of the masses.
Looking at the money, Zhang Xitong moved his feelings: "If the enterprise can't do well, I'm sorry for the villagers!"
After in-depth investigation and detailed argumentation, Zhang Xitong decided to take advantage of the village's proximity to Zhengzhou (State) New (Township) Zhengzhou (State) Jiao (Left) Highway, and go to projects with less investment and quick results first.
So, they opened an auto repair shop. Smart decision-making has dug up the "first bucket of gold" for the development of Xiaomaying.
Then, they decided to work in the village board foundry.
The problem of funds has been solved, and no talent has become a stumbling block in front of them. If there are few local talents, please go to other places. Zhang Xitong left footprints in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hebei and Tianjin in order to be thirsty for talents.
In order to invite a technician from Hebei Province to be the director of the foundry, Zhang Xi made five trips to the same company, and finally moved him to take the initiative to transfer his account from the city to Xiaomaying Village.
In 2004, Xiaomaying cooperated with Zhengzhou Houyi Group to invest 6 million yuan in a fine chemical plant. Due to the lack of experts in this field, the project has not been started for a long time. In order to seek talents, Zhang Xitong and his partners took dry food and searched everywhere. After hard work, they hired a senior engineer from a chemical plant in Kaifeng. Considering that engineers are running between the two places, life is extremely inconvenient. Zhang Xitong took the initiative to give his two-story building to an engineer's family to live in, and left his home appliances, furniture and daily necessities for them to use. While introducing talents, Zhang Xitong also attached great importance to the introduction of technology. 199 1 year, he learned at the exhibition in Beijing that the drip plastic products were very popular in China, and asked scientific research institutions to transfer technology at a price of 654.38+10,000 yuan. At that time, some people in the village were worried and asked: Can we farmers do this sophisticated project?
Zhang Xitong confidently replied:
"Everything depends on human effort, the road lies in people walking, and the industry lies in people creating. We can do what others can do. "
Despite all the difficulties, he went ahead and became the factory director. In just three months, he invested 6.5438+0.6 million yuan to build the first plastic dropper factory in the province. In the second year of production, Drip Plastic Factory realized the output value of15 million yuan, and realized the profit and tax of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. Products are exported to Hong Kong, Korea, Europe, the United States and Singapore.
For more than 30 years, Zhang Xitong has successively led 1 1 enterprises such as building materials factory, clothing factory, auto repair shop, eyeglasses factory, plastic chemical factory and Wuzhi branch of Zhengzhou Houyi Group, and introduced more than 100 talents, which has made all enterprises in the village prosperous in business and rolling in financial resources. At present, the collective total assets of Xiaomaying Village have reached several hundred million yuan, and the annual per capita net income of farmers exceeds 65.438+0.5 million yuan.
After the reform and opening up, Xiaomaying people gradually got rid of poverty and lived a happy life through hard work and command. However, the awareness that small farmers have money and security is also spreading among some people. The villagers who have lived a poor life are at a loss when they look at the increasingly full money bags.
Some advocate repairing ancestral graves well, "so that ancestors can enjoy the scenery"; Some advocate sharing money, which is also a "race with cattle"; Some even set up mahjong tables quietly, and coins jingled on the tables. Some people are influenced by all kinds of wrong ideas in society, fighting for treatment, enjoying happiness and not making progress.
Zhang Xitong discovered these phenomena and started a big discussion in the village about how to live with money in his hand. At the meeting, Zhang Xi said earnestly: "This is not just a simple lifestyle issue, but a matter related to the success or failure of Xiaomaying. Our village is rich because the Party's policies are good and everyone is highly motivated. If everyone relaxes, Jinshan Yinshan will also be hollowed out. What's more, we can only be considered small rich. If you are complacent now, your hard-won achievements will be in vain. "
In recent years, every year on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xitong will gather all the village cadres together to talk about the work of the past year, compare everyone's efforts and find out the shortcomings; And by telling the history and entrepreneurial history of the village, let the masses know about the historical changes of Xiaomaying, let the masses know how to cherish a happy life, and inspire the whole village to maintain the spirit of hard struggle.
In order to create a healthy, civilized and uplifting living atmosphere, Xiaomaying Village has successively invested more than RMB/kloc-0.00 million to beautify the village appearance, transform village-run schools, build village-level clinics, and build libraries, gateball courts, basketball courts, karaoke halls, charity cultural squares, village history museums and other cultural and entertainment venues.
With the increase of people's income and the strengthening of village collective economic strength, various public welfare undertakings in Xiaomaying Village have also made great progress.
Now every household in the village has access to water, electricity, telephone, cable TV and natural gas, and all the expenses of the five old people are paid by the village. The whole village also bears the medical expenses of watching movies, taking a bath, sending children to school and retiring the elderly.
How many years have passed, the old people are enjoying the family happiness of their children and grandchildren, but Zhang Xidao, who is full of white hair, is like a pioneer cow. In order to build Xiaomaying into a new socialist countryside, he still tirelessly cultivates this yellow land.
The development of Xiaomaying cannot be separated from him. 20 1 1, Zhang xitong stepped down as secretary of the party branch and director of the village Committee in xiaomaying village, but was urgently hired by the new village "two committees" as the general consultant for economic development. This is the easiest way for the masses to retain him.
"The old horse crouches tiger, aiming at a thousand miles; The martyr was full of ambition in his later years. Facing the reporter's camera, Zhang Xitong talked about the future development plan of Xiaomaying Village. He said: in order to adjust agriculture, emphasize industry, and invigorate the tertiary industry, we should take the overall situation into consideration and strive for several high-tech projects in two or three years. Enliven two commercial streets; Realizing heating in the whole village ... A beautiful blueprint for a new socialist countryside has been spread out in his mind and will soon be presented to us.
The journey is long, only struggle.
