"East is red, the sun rises, and China has a Mao Zedong ..."
At 6 o'clock in the morning, 15, the radio station in Nanjie Village began to play the revolutionary song "Dongfanghong" praising Mao Zedong, and a new day in Nanjie Village began in this brisk melody.
The statue of Mao Zedong stands like a patron saint in the square of Nanjie Village. There are also some political slogans in the square, such as "Mao Zedong Thought will shine forever". Mao Zedong's portraits and slogans can be seen everywhere in the village.
Nanjie Village, Linying County, Henan Province is a rural area with a population of about 32,000. In the past, this village was very poor. Since the reform and opening up in the 1980s, the village has established village-run enterprises such as flour mills and brick factories, which have achieved economic success.
Nanjie Village is very different from other villages, that is, they put forward the goal of "* * * small capitalist society" based on Mao Zedong Thought's collectivism. Due to the abolition of people's communes in 1980s, Mao Zedong-style collectivism lost its influence. However, Nanjie Village takes Mao Zedong's collectivism as its banner. The attempt to become rich in Nanjie Village is called "Nanjie Village Phenomenon", which has attracted national attention.
egalitarianism
The core of Nanjie Village's "Productive Elements" is a unique egalitarian economic system. Villagers work in village administrative organizations and village-run enterprises, and the monthly fixed salary varies from 50 yuan to 200 yuan according to the work content/kloc-0. Although the salary is very low, the villagers enjoy food, meat, oil and other rations for free. Housing, education, medical care, weddings and funerals are also free. If the villagers go to college, the tuition fees will also be borne by the village. The welfare funds enjoyed by the villagers average 6700 yuan per person per year.
There are 26 village-run enterprises in the village, including Lamian Noodles Factory. In 1984, the total output value of village-run enterprises was only 700,000 yuan, and by 1995, it had reached 654.38+0.2 billion yuan, achieving a leap-forward development. However, personal shops and private enterprises are not allowed in the village, and karaoke and other businesses are not allowed. This is because the above business is considered not conducive to the implementation of collectivism.
The biggest obstacle to a "harmonious society" is inequality. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few privileged and wealthy classes, and farmers and other vulnerable groups cannot fully enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up. Regardless of the practice of Nanjie Village, its attempt has opened up a road to ensure that villagers can live a "well-off life" as soon as possible.
collectivism
Li Yongqi (24 years old), who works in the village flour mill in Nanjie Village, held a wedding with her boyfriend in the same village on New Year's Day this year. Now I live with my husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law who work in the village handicraft company. The residence is a two-bedroom apartment (75 square meters) in the village camp.
According to the rules of Nanjie Village, the wedding ceremony is a "collective wedding" held in the village, and the wedding is held once a year on New Year's Day. This year's group wedding includes Li Yongqi and his wife, with 20 couples of bride and groom. The souvenir for the couple in the village is Selected Works of Mao Zedong.
The collective wedding is a symbol of collectivism in Nanjie Village. Wang Hongbin, secretary of the village Party Committee, said that the purpose of holding a collective wedding is to put an end to waste and cultivate the collective spirit of new people. Although it is not compulsory to participate in group marriage, if you are afraid to participate in group marriage, it is tantamount to disobeying the opinions of the village authorities. Perhaps for this reason, it is said that no bride and groom refused to attend the group wedding. Under the pressure of collectivism, it seems that it has actually become the "obligation" of the villagers to attend the collective wedding.
Another symbol of collectivism in Nanjie Village is military training. There are about 8,500 militiamen in the village, most of whom are from non-Nanjie village, who work in enterprises in Nanjie village. Through military training, the villagers were instilled with collectivism.
Those who have worked in Nanjie Village for a long time and made significant contributions are awarded "honorary villagers" in the village. Those who have obtained this qualification can enjoy the same treatment as the villagers in their village. Therefore, many people applied to become "honorary villagers".
Lv Xiaohu (32 years old), secretary of the Youth League Committee of Nanjie Village, believes that the model of Nanjie Village is a development model consistent with theory and practice. He said: "The collectivism in Nanjie Village is very reasonable. It is also in line with Deng Xiaoping's line of "Let some people get rich first and drive more people to get rich together". This is Socialism with Chinese characteristics. "
Strict rules
There are still about 30 million people in China who have not reached the level of food and clothing. On the other hand, the rich are richer and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Because of this, the current situation of Nanjie Village, where villagers live an equal and stable life, deserves attention.
But the system of Nanjie Village is based on strict rules and regulations. Nanjie Village has rules and regulations that can be called "village rules and regulations", which are divided into three aspects: thought, work and life. There are 23 rules and regulations, and violators will be punished.
Furthermore, there is a system in the village to regularly check the implementation of rules and regulations by families from ten aspects, such as ideology, discipline and health. According to the inspection results, as long as one aspect is unqualified, we must pay some benefits at our own expense. According to the villagers, "there are very few families with perfect scores, and most families are always unqualified in some way."
Welfare is the foundation of villagers' life, and the village authorities hold great power in this respect. The villagers had to obey the village rules and regulations.
Nanjie village has taken extraordinary measures to ensure that everyone can live a certain level of life. So far, the goal of "harmonious society" has been achieved.
