Jiangyin three-day prose

On this day, we went to Yixing city. Yixing City is more than 200 kilometers away from Jiangyin City, on the edge of Taihu Lake, with a population of more than 65.438+0.2 million, with an area larger than Jiangyin City and an annual GDP of more than 20 billion, which is 65.438+0 billion less than Jiangyin City. However, relying on its unique natural scenery, Yixing has vigorously developed tourism and other undertakings, and the momentum cannot be underestimated. The mayor in charge of this city is Wu Fengfeng, who worked in Yili not long ago. He heard that we were coming and invited us to Yixing for a walk.

The journey lasted for two hours, and there were many houses along the way, but the walls were white and blue, as new as washed. According to Zhang Guoxing, the section chief who accompanied us, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River were all thatched cottages in the 1950s, tile houses in the 1960s, corridors in the 1970s, and buildings in the 1980s. However, the buildings were simple and simple, but they paid attention to style in the 1990s, and the interior and exterior decoration were completely new. In my impression, even if the northern countryside is rich and has built two-story and three-story buildings, it still pays attention to building a quadrangle with high walls and gates, covering a lot of land. However, this place is westernized, not rustic. A village has a group of houses with the same structural design. The pink two-story cement building has a herringbone old-fashioned tile roof, either red or green. The front door is completely open, or there are paddy fields, or there are trees and flowers, or there are shopping malls and shops, and only a small courtyard is left at the back door. Look at the gap between the rich and the poor in the south and the gap between the rich and the poor in the north, or the courtyard wall of this house is also a proof!

Yixing is adjacent to Zhejiang, with many mountains and waters. Although the mountains are not majestic, they have no roots or veins and can be seen everywhere. Although the water is not as beautiful as the West Lake, it is quiet and gentle, giving people a quiet and beautiful feeling. But in the depths, there are also many mountains that have been vandalized, losing their green color and revealing half a yellow face, which makes people feel sorry. Zhang Guoxing said that this was caused by the neglect of protection in the development of township enterprises in previous years, and it was difficult to recover for many years. Now it has been banned by legislation. You should pay attention to protecting the ecological environment in the western development!

On this day, we visited the magical Shanjuan Cave, Liang Shanbo's Zhu Yingtai Reading Room, Ceramic Market, Wolong Lake and so on. Lunch at Yixing International Hotel was invited by Wu Fengfeng. The young mayor was very enthusiastic when he saw us. It's as if he met an old friend in another country. He said, "How is our Yining city now?" "In the face of western development, what big moves do we have in Yili?" , and so on.

When I came back in the evening, I found that Yixing is really an outstanding place and has the reputation of "the hometown of professors". There are great painters Xu Beihong, Yin Shoushi, Wu Guanzhong, musician Zhang Quan, scientist Zhou Peiyuan and many ceramic artists in the distance. Rich cultural background plays a great role in a region's thinking and economic construction!

This morning, I went to Jiangyin Federation of Literary and Art Circles with a friend from the State Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The rest of the comrades either went to Jiangyin Daily or Jiangyin TV. Peer discussion and exchange, the following is a content of our investigation and interview. In the afternoon, I visited four schools: Nanjing High School in Jiangsu Province, Jiangyin Vocational High School, Jiangyin Experimental Primary School and Jiangyin Private Peier College.

In Jiangyin Federation of Literary and Art Circles, a tall, dark-haired middle-aged man received us. He heard that we are from Yili, Xinjiang, and warmly extended his hands: Welcome! I went to Yili last year and left a very deep and beautiful impression on Yili. Then he handed in his business card: Xia. Boy, six titles: member of China Calligraphers Association, director of Jiangban Calligraphers Association, vice chairman of Wuxi Calligraphers Association, vice president of Wuxi Chinese Painting Academy, vice chairman of Jiangyin Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and president of Jiangyin Painting and Calligraphy Institute. Look at the cupboard full of books, calligraphy, photography, pen and ink, and you will know that he is a great man. Moreover, he seems to have a special liking for the natural scenery and folk customs of Yili, and there are several enlarged photographic photos hanging on the wall reflecting the natural scenery and folk customs of Yili. He said: that was taken when he was collecting wind last year. Perhaps it was because he had been to Yili and left a good impression, so we felt at home and talked a lot naturally. He talked with us about the feelings of going to Yili, Xinjiang, and the differences between the scenery in the west and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the differences and characteristics of humanistic characteristics and ways of thinking brought about by these differences.

As he spoke, he brought a pile of books, magazines and materials. From this, we know that Jiangyin City is a national cultural model city, and it is the "hometown of small plays" and "hometown of stories" named by the province. The Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles governs seven groups, including literature, folk literature, drama and folk art, music, song and dance, fine arts, calligraphy and seal cutting, and photography. It has jurisdiction over 1 national institutions-painting and calligraphy institute (art museum), 8 town-level literary and art circles, and 2 enterprise literary and art circles (among which Sanmao Group's literary and art circles are the first township enterprise literary and art circles in the province). Seven professional associations have 423 members, including provincial members 102 and national members 16. Since 1990s, 65 literary and artistic works have been published, including 8 novels, 25 essays, poems and literary plays 14. There are 16 works that have won national awards. Xia Zeng, the author who created "The Glory of Oblivion" and won the first Lu Xun Literature Prize, lives and works in Jiangyin. Looking through a pile of books, I feel that Jiangyin is really full of talents! I was deeply impressed by Xia's The Glory of Oblivion, Zhang's 800,000-word historical novel Du Fu in Chang 'an, Xu Yiqing's The Garland of Life and Wu's. What interests me is Xu Yiqing, who has lived and worked in Hotan for nearly 20 years. Most of his works after returning to China reflect Xinjiang. People are strange. When he lives in a place for a long time, he will feel that nothing is good here. Once he left forever, he found that everything there was so fresh, so kind, so unforgettable, so unforgettable. Wu's, I read it in Yili Bookstore, and I knew that she worked in the Propaganda Department downstairs, just asking if I could know her. Sure enough, after a while, a light-footed, simple and generous middle-aged lady stepped into the threshold with short hair and big eyes. She is warm and hearty, with a straightforward and generous temperament from the northwest, beautiful and elegant. Wu, it is really similar to her name. She said that she had only been to Yili in August this year. As soon as she got off the plane, she was attracted by the fresh and transparent air of blue sky and white clouds. After returning, she wrote an essay "Falling into a Transparent World" and published it in Jiangyin Daily. He said that you Xinjiang people are so simple and generous. I was a guest in the 62nd Regiment that day, and the head of the regiment, Wu, came late because of the handling work. I fined myself a cup, apologized repeatedly, and offered to sing a song for us after paying a New Year call to the guests: "We * * * people are like seeds …". We were deeply moved by Chairman Wu's sincerity, open-mindedness and childlike innocence, and then the Chairman sang a second song, saying that we should stand guard when planting land and stand guard when harvesting, and we worked hard in the frontier of the motherland for the sake of its growing prosperity ... That heroic temperament and childlike innocence was really touching. Xinjiang is rich in cultural connotation, which is different from other regions. We must dig it well. She said that she was going to write another essay entitled "Beautiful Tianshan Mountains".

I was deeply moved by her deep love for Xinjiang, and I was a little complacent, but I restrained myself from being dazzled by the differences in economic and cultural development between the two places. Xia said: Every time they publish a book, the municipal government will subsidize 70%-80% of the funds and award a certain bonus according to the award-winning level. They will also hold this meeting to publicize the content of the work and the author himself, so that everyone in Wuxi can know. The Municipal Party Committee has long had such a strategic guiding ideology: not only to be a strong economic city in the whole country, but also to be a strong cultural city in the whole country, so that the economy can go out of Jiangyin, the whole country and the world, and the culture can also go out of Jiangyin, the whole country and the world.

After listening to Xia's words, I deeply admire the strategic vision and bold measures of Jiangyin leaders. A brand-new and powerful Jiangyin is well-deserved in the eyes of the whole country and the world! I also think that Dang, Yili area is not only called the hometown of music and dance, but also the hometown of stories, operas, literature and calligraphy. It is a symbol of the economy and culture of a truly prosperous region!

Before leaving, Xia selected two personal calligraphy exhibitions to be held in Japan next month as a souvenir: "When Xia Feng came, the white paper on the table flew away, and the diary stayed in the dream to watch the winter calm." His writing is free and easy, bright, smart and amazing, which makes people look at freedom and imagine comfort and beauty. Xia saw that I couldn't put it down, and sent me seven poems written in the diaries of artists in Yunnan and Jiangsu recently. I quite like one of them: "Jade Dragon Mountain has been snowing for more than 1000 years. The white water layer falls from the sky, and the spruce lawn and cattle and sheep are idle. This is the most sleepy place. "

After visiting four schools in the afternoon, I understood why there are so many talented people and beautiful women in Jiangyin, and why there are so many far-sighted politicians and entrepreneurs. All this stems from Jiangyin's tradition of attaching importance to education since ancient times. In Jiangyin, the city basically popularized high school education, and 9 1% of junior high school graduates entered high school. In the past century, only the celebrities who came out of Nanjing Middle School were Wu Wenzao, Lu, academicians of the two academies, Cai Banghua, Cao Hehua, Sheng, Xu Xueyan, famous writer Wang Zengqi, calligrapher, educator and music conductor. ...

In Jiangyin Vocational High School, we can see that this school trains more than 0/000 professional and technical personnel for the society every year, which is not only in short supply, but also generates more than 7 million yuan in income every year. Many students who have gone out from here have become factory directors, managers and chairmen, and set up their own companies and enterprises, becoming a dynamic new force in Jiangyin's economic construction.

Thinking is formed in a unique culture. What kind of culture has what kind of thinking, and what kind of thinking will develop!

[Thursday, 2 1 September 2000, cloudy]

When I woke up in the morning, I saw the sky was gloomy, like a huge gray pot cover, which firmly covered the sky and the earth in the south of the Yangtze River. The towering tall buildings and the majestic Yangtze River Highway Bridge are all looming in the faint smoke. The birds in the tree in front of the building don't know where they flew.

After breakfast, our reporter seized the gap and interviewed Comrade He, member of the Standing Committee of Jiangyin Municipal Committee and now deputy secretary-general of Yili Party Committee. Facing the microphone and camera, he said calmly: "I have been the deputy secretary-general of the Party Committee of Yili Prefecture for more than a year, and I have a basic understanding of the situation in Yili Prefecture. It should be said that over the past 20 years of reform and opening-up, the economic and social undertakings of Yili Prefecture have made great progress, and they still have great development potential and many advantages and characteristics. Over the years, the economic construction and social undertakings in the eastern coastal areas have developed rapidly, but there are also shortcomings, so there are many places where things complement each other. As long as we seize the historical opportunity of the central government to implement the large-scale development of the western region and make up our minds to work hard, we will certainly develop better. In my opinion, the main difference in economic development in the western region lies in enterprises. First, there are few enterprises in the western region, second, the strength is not strong enough, and third, the mechanism is not flexible enough. Therefore, I believe that to do a good job in the economic development of the western region, we should mainly focus on strengthening enterprises. First, there are many enterprises, whether in the circulation field or in the production and processing industry. There is a saying in Han Xinli that' more is better'. Second, enterprises should be strong, not the biggest, but the strongest. They want to create their own strong brand-name enterprises, rush out of the west, go to the whole country and the whole world. Third, the mechanism must be flexible. No matter who runs the enterprise, no matter what nature, as long as it can survive and develop and bring benefits to local economic and social undertakings, it should be allowed to develop. I believe that if enterprises are invigorated, the economy of the western region will be promoted. "

He's answer, with clear thinking and strict logic, caught the crux of the problem at once and won warm applause from our party.

These days, he is with us almost all day. From acquaintance to familiarity, we deeply feel that he is a person with political thoughts and organizational leadership. He has rich experience. He has been the mayor and secretary of the town party Committee for many years, and well-known large enterprises such as Shenyang University and Chamei have sprung up in that town, with 20 million yuan in their hands every year. Later, he worked as a newspaper president, deputy director of the propaganda department and director of the municipal party Committee office. He considered the problem carefully and arranged it carefully. For example, the three key points of this study and interview, first, enterprises, second, tourism and third, education, have fully considered the current situation in the western region. For example, on various occasions, he takes care of several ethnic comrades everywhere, respects them in food etiquette and introduces their customs. For example, every time we go abroad for inspection and interview, we should think twice before we do it, and repeatedly emphasize that one is to ensure safety, the other is to ensure that we achieve our goals, and the third is to ensure comfort, good food and good rest. He and his companions' meticulous work style and professionalism often move and admire our accompanying comrades. I feel that they really embody the spirit of Jiangyin people: unity, integrity, daring to climb and creating first-class.

After the interview, we went to Zhangjiagang by bus.

Zhangjiagang really lives up to its reputation and is different from other cities. First, there are lush trees and green lawns everywhere. Second, the planning is well done. Cars, bicycles and sidewalks are neat and clear, spacious and bright, and do not interfere with each other and are not messy; Third, the high-rise buildings are scattered and arranged reasonably, so as not to be crowded together so densely; Fourth, it is clean and hygienic, without garbage, sewage and disorderly accumulation everywhere. Walking on the pedestrian street in Zhangjiagang, I thought that when the economy catches up, people naturally pursue civilization, and the leaders really work hard for the city as public servants, the masses will work together in Qi Xin to catch up with Qixin. Jiangyin is like this, and so is Zhangjiagang. In the west, when can such a style be formed?

I wanted to see more places, but a gust of wind blew and it began to rain in the air. In a short time, the whole city became a cloudy and rainy world, and the rain in the south of the Yangtze River was really different from that in the north.

Tonight is our last night in Jiangyin. That night, there was a bright moon in the sky of Wan Li. I pushed the window and looked west, and my thoughts were myriad. Think about it. In southern Jiangsu, the concepts of farmers and rural areas have changed. Farmers are no longer farmers, and rural areas are no longer rural areas. The township enterprises here cannot be regarded as "township enterprises". When will such great changes take place in our western region and Yili region?

After writing this diary at night, I suddenly thought of the fir tree and loquat tree in front of the building, and the chirping birds on that tree came. Now they are all asleep and silent. Tomorrow morning, before the sun comes out, they will go their separate ways and go to the forest belt in the field to work.

I want to stop writing and wash my sleep, but suddenly I think of a sentence in Bai Juyi's "Recalling Jiangnan": "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery has been familiar; When spring comes, the sun rises from the river, the flowers on the river are brighter than red, and the green river is greener than the blue grass. Can you not remember Jiangnan? " So, I lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and spit it out. Amid the smoke, I really hope that the dream I hope for during my trip to the south of the Yangtze River can fly in the sky in the west of China as soon as possible. ...
