The wealth of 858 Farm and the beauty of Thousand Island Forest

On September 4th, it was cloudless and the weather was sunny. It was a good day for traveling. My family of four, led by my second daughter Wang Hui, drove to visit the 858 Farm in Hulin Administrative Region. The trees on both sides of the road are green and yellow in the middle, the corns more than two meters high with white and yellow tassels on their heads are growing so vigorously, and the patches of yellow-brown rice are blowing in the wind. All these tell me that autumn is coming, and it is another bumper harvest. Year. Jixi area always has good weather, even if there are disasters, droughts and floods will guarantee harvests. After about two hours, we entered the 858 farm area, with thousands of acres of paddy fields, network of water canals, green barriers, white temporary work houses dotted in the green fields, straight avenues and forest paths They are all sandwiched in the hedge, like the nerves of the farm connecting the inside and outside of the farm. Motor vehicles and motorcycles shuttle back and forth from north to south. All this tells us that today’s farms have basically achieved agricultural modernization, changing from traditional agriculture in the past. Gone forever is the phenomenon of people chasing Mara. This scene and emotion not only bring me infinite happiness, but also make me have passionate thoughts. ah! This is a cell and a microcosm of our country. Everything has changed and is still changing. The dream of national rejuvenation is turning into the present of the future bit by bit.

In an instant, our car entered the location of 858 Farm Town. On the outskirts of the town, an abstract red simulator led us into the north-south central street of the town - Anxing Street. We stayed here, visited and admired . Anxing Street is named after the ruins of Anxing Ancient City in Bohai Sea. The street is four miles long and more than 100 meters wide. Four motor vehicles can pass on the road. There are lanes for bicycles and other vehicles outside the green barrier. There are sidewalks on both sides, and outside is a 20-meter-wide green garden. Some sections have There are lotus channels and lakes with small bridges and flowing water, and flowers gathered there. There are many buildings on both sides of the fence, divided by modern communities. In the community, there are fruit trees, miscellaneous trees, flowers, green spaces, and every household has solar energy. There is a road from east to west, with various cultural and entertainment venues, fitness squares and other public welfare places built on both sides of the road. Various commercial and trade services are very prosperous on the street. There are also Wusulijiang Business Hotel with modern services and senior apartments open to the public. Particularly worth mentioning is the well-known villa area. It is located on the west side of Anxing Street and is surrounded by walls. There are 60 two-story buildings with different designs, each of which houses two households. , each household is 200m2~260m2. I was fortunate enough to visit two households and talk with the indoor residents and hospital staff. There are various trees and flowers planted in the courtyard. There are private plots in front of and behind the building, and each family grows crops for their own enjoyment. There are winding roads of various sizes in the courtyard connecting the entire villa area. There are public gardens, lakes, pavilions and waterside pavilions of various sizes for people to enjoy. At first glance, this villa area may be purchased and lived in by those rich and wealthy families. In fact, it is not the case. On the contrary, it is purchased and lived in by ordinary farm cadres and employees. When the houses were built in the 1990s, each house cost about 200,000 yuan, but it was difficult to sell them. The market department mobilized cadres at department level and above to take the lead in the purchase. All 60 houses have been sold, most of them are occupied, and a few are empty. If each unit of this house is sold now, it would cost at least 1 million yuan! This shows that only when employees have money and are richer than before can they afford such housing. It is understood that more than 20,000 people in the farm live in buildings in the town. The bungalows and horse-frame houses in the past are gone and cannot be found. The pension for each retired employee is more than 3,000 yuan. Each household with a small number of current employees can contract dozens of acres or more than a hundred acres, and many can contract more than a thousand acres. The annual income of each household can range from 100,000 to 100,000, to hundreds of thousands, or more than one million. The farthest land is more than 50 miles away from the town. In the nearest few miles, commuting to and from get off work can be done by motor vehicle. It is very convenient to live in a temporary plastic house in the field during the busy farming season. When I chatted with the residents of the town, they were all very happy. They were very satisfied living in a town with a beautiful environment, cleanliness, and civilized services. Their mental state was always in a good state, which brought out a kind of spiritual power to build a beautiful farm. future.

I stayed in the town for one night, walked on Anxing Street in the morning and evening, and visited agricultural industrial enterprises outside the town. Facts have proved that the farm has achieved agricultural industrialization and promoted the overall development of the farm. I browsed everything in the town and talked with the sweepers from time to time, which made me truly understand the connotation of urbanization and the taste of farmers moving into the city. Farm construction is the most typical form of urbanization. What if all our rural areas turned into farms? But when rural areas are truly urbanized, the path taken by the farm is the path taken by the countryside. This is a path that can be realized and is achievable. More than 20,000 employees of 858 Farm live in such a concentrated area with Anxing Street as the center and a 20-mile ring road around it. They live happily and feel the great achievements of reform, opening up, and innovation.

The most unforgettable thing for me was visiting the Thousand Island Forest of Damei Wetland in the western suburbs of the town. It corresponds to and is comparable to the 858 Farm Town. The farm guards the Thousand Island Forest, and the Thousand Island Forest embraces the farm and blends in. Harmonious, harmonious but different, different but harmonious, it has become a dazzling pearl of Hulin City and Mudanjiang Agricultural Reclamation Branch.

I stood on the shore of Qiandao Forest Lake and looked at the thousands of islands in the distance, dotted in the lake. Their reflections that appeared and disappeared gave people a hazy reverie. The islands are in the lake. Life, water flows around the island, there is an island in the forest, there is a forest in the island, there are fish in the water, there are birds in the forest, the lake is clear, the fish swim in the shallow bottom, wild ducks play in the water, chirp, everything in front of you is nature The harmony of various elements in the garden gives people a kind of beautiful yearning. The hundred acres of lotus flowers give people a sense of vitality. The harmony of heaven and man here, the harmony of heaven and water, the natural coexistence, the harmony of movement and stillness, simply make me intoxicated. Time has an ethereal mind, a leisurely demeanor, and can't help it. My mind is busy thinking and my hands are busy taking pictures. How I want to stop every moment I spend here in my mind and leave it in my images as a permanent souvenir.

The farm has unique resource advantages and rich natural resources. It is surrounded by the Big and Small Muling River, Songaca River and Ussuri River. Wetland Qiandao Lake is centered on the Xiaomuling River Basin and extends to Hukou Wetland and natural secondary island forest, covering an area of ??more than 100,000 acres. Various tree species and aquatic herbaceous plants such as reeds and cattails grow on the wide water surface. The core scenic spot of Qiandao Forest is 65 kilometers long. At present, the total developed and constructed area is 90,000 acres. There are not only a variety of plants in the scenic area, but also a variety of key protected wild birds and dozens of fish species. The oxygen content of the air is 5~10% higher than that in the city. The scenic spot has the atmosphere of the northern wetlands and the beauty of the southern wetlands. It is a purely original ecological tourist area and resort.

Therefore, I sigh for the Thousand Island Forest, a large wetland created by God, and thank 858 Farm for protecting and developing such a dreamy and passionate wetland Thousand Island Forest for people.

On the way back to Jixi, I had a lot of thoughts and deep emotions. When I got home, I continued to recall the memories of 858 Farm, which made me nostalgic and tempting to explore. It is known that the territory of 858 Farm is one of the sources of the Ussuri River. The farm faces the Russian city of Lesozavodsk across the river. The border is 103 kilometers long. The national first-class port - Hulin Port is within the territory of the farm, and Thousand Island Forest is the national 3A scenic spot and "China's most beautiful wetland leisure destination", including the famous Thousand-acre Lotus Lake, the ruins of the ancient city of Anxing in the Bohai Sea, the old revolutionary area of ??Daimugou, the "One Pine" stronghold where the anti-Japanese guerrillas gathered, and the birthplace of the spirit of reclamation. To the north of Beijing are historical and cultural resources such as the filming location for "Beidahuang" and the filming location for the documentary "Heroes Defeat Beidahuang". They have become the business cards of 858 Farm. The most important material foundation here is modern large-scale agriculture. The farm's rice planting area is 540,000 acres, becoming the first batch of high-quality and reliable rice in my country. It has an agricultural industry chain in the modern agricultural park, with tourist areas, agricultural science and technology sightseeing areas, self-picking vineyards, fruit tasting gardens, and natural woodlands, allowing people to fully appreciate the unique charm of green agriculture. I have visited many farms, but 858 Farm left the deepest impression on me, which will become the driving force of my life and add a better yearning for my later life.
