"Outside Xinghua Village, Jiajiazhuang, the red flag is held high in Fenyang." This is a hymn written by Guo Moruo, a generation of literary giants, after visiting Jiajiazhuang in 1965.

Jiajiazhuang Village is located at the east foot of Luliang Mountain and on the west bank of Fenhe River, adjacent to Xinghua Village, the wine capital. It is a small village with "one no mineral resources and two not adjacent to a big city". It is famous for its collective economy. .

When you step onto this land with a total area of ??4.2 square kilometers and less than 3,000 residents, you will see the wide and straight Tengfei Avenue and the majestic Tengfei Gate. The branches and leaves of the trees are swaying in the gentle breeze. The faint fragrance of flowers blows towards your face, and the laughter of villagers comes from time to time in the cultural square. The air is filled with the atmosphere of the new ecological countryside...

It is difficult to imagine that this place was once the place where the " There are girls who do not marry in Jiajiazhuang, but marry in Jiazhuang and suffer in "Xianpan Village".

"A hundred hoes make a revolution, control water and change alkali to remove the roots of poverty"

In the cultural and sports square of Jiajiazhuang Village, a group of sculptures of "a hundred hoes make a revolution" solemnly Stand tall.

Before the founding of New China, Jiajiazhuang was a famous poor village in Fenyang County. Of the 4,083 acres of cultivated land in the village, more than 2,800 acres are wet swamp and saline-alkali land. At that time, there was a folk saying that "there is wetland to the west of the village, dry land to the east of the village, and alkali wasteland to the south of the village and north of the village; there are only three treasures in the village, sweet endive, willow buds, reed grass". .

"Before liberation, Jiajiazhuang was very poor. At that time, there were 'three excesses' in the village: a lot of people begging for food, a lot of people selling their sons and daughters, and a lot of bachelors." 92 Samurai Xiong, a 20-year-old veteran party member, said.

If you are poor, you will want to change. After the founding of New China, Jiajiazhuang Village established the first rural agricultural production cooperative in Fenyang. With the farmers' deep gratitude to the party, the people of Jiajiazhuang embarked on the road of collectivization without hesitation.

From 1954 to 1965, for more than ten years, the people of Jiajiazhuang creatively adopted methods such as "opening ditches and intercepting water, ditching the fields, raising the ground and lowering the ground, shallow watering, washing alkali, and applying more fertilizers", etc. By using this method, we drove away the alkali demon, uprooted the poor roots, and drew a beautiful pastoral picture of "square fields, rows of trees, connected canals, and connected roads, where droughts can be irrigated, and floods can be drained."

By 1965, the average yield per mu of Jiajiazhuang Village increased from 128 kilograms before the founding of the cooperative to 816 kilograms, making it the first village in the north whose grain output crossed the Yangtze River. It was known as "rich and exquisite" "North and Jiangnan".

“Don’t be a millionaire, build a billionaire village”

In 1979, as the tide of rural reform swept across the country, a trend of “the more complete the decentralization, the more "Good" trend, Jiajiazhuang, which does not "follow the trend", has fallen into the situation of "surrounding the village by four rivers".

After a period of thinking, analysis and comparison, Jiajiazhuang people creatively proposed a set of two-tier management methods of "three fields to each household, five unifications, and one concentration", which not only liberated productivity , and stabilized the agricultural foundation. The unique development model put Jiajiazhuang Village on a new development path.

In the late 1980s, after ten years of reform, China's rural areas entered a new period of development. "At that time, the state encouraged people to get rich first and then to get rich later, but I found that the people who got rich quickly were leading cadres and some capable and well-connected technical personnel. Most of the villagers were still below the poverty line." The then secretary of the Party Committee of Jiajiazhuang Village Xing Limin realized that if this continues, polarization will only become more serious. This is not the path Jiajiazhuang wants to take.

Subsequently, at a meeting of party members and cadres in the village, Xing Limin loudly put forward the slogan "If I lose one person, the whole village will be rich; instead of becoming a millionaire, I will build a billionaire village." Since then, in the ten years from 1983 to 1993, more than 20 enterprises such as plastic factories, woven bag factories, soy sauce factories, and vinegar factories have been established in Jiajiazhuang Village. The fixed assets of the village collective enterprises have grown from the initial 500,000 yuan to more than 5,000 yuan. Ten thousand yuan, with the collective economy playing the leading role and the individual economy supplementing it, a new rural economic pattern has initially taken shape in Jiajiazhuang Village.

In today's Hengding Industrial Cultural and Creative Park, you can see the former site of a special-grade cement factory. Under the sunset, the huge rusty pipes look heavy with vicissitudes of life. Back then, it was this cement factory that made the people of Jiajiazhuang tighten their belts and fight against the odds.

In 1995, the General Party Branch and Village Committee of Jiajiazhuang Village decided to launch a special cement plant with an annual output of 100,000 tons to create Jiajiazhuang’s own pillar industry. After eighteen months of hard work, the special cement plant was successfully completed, which also enabled Jiajiazhuang to successfully achieve a historic transformation from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy.

Driven by the strong industry, the collective economy of Jiajiazhuang Village has grown rapidly, becoming a model for the old and advanced countries to rejuvenate with new vitality.

"You can see the mountains, you can see the water, and you can remember the nostalgia."

In that era of "no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life", While most rural areas are still struggling to find connections with the secondary industry, Jiajiazhuang people have quietly begun a new choice.

In 1997, the construction of a large-scale agricultural ecological park covering an area of ??more than 200 acres began. Three years later, on this land abandoned for burning bricks and extracting soil, an agricultural ecological complex integrating production, leisure, tourism, and folk customs was built.
