Yinhe Folk Village, Jingui Town, Helan County: a paradise with beautiful scenery

In early autumn, when the breeze blows and the scorching summer heat subsides, we walk into the "Folk Village" of Yinhe Village. Imitation wooden fences are neatly arranged, pink wall paintings are lifelike, the fields are flat, the houses are like, the small canal is gurgling, and the grass is Colorful, it feels like you have walked into the Peach Blossom Spring written by Tao Yuanming, and you are immersed in the scene, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Such a poetic place was created by Wang Yuhai, an ordinary villager of Yinhe Village. At first, it was difficult for Wang Yuhai to associate the beauty of the "Folk Village" with him. Dark skin, a simple smile, a gray-black clothes, a pair of slippers, and a dilapidated electric car were Wang Yuhai's standard equipment.

"In 1983, after graduating from high school, I worked as a physical education and mathematics teacher at Panchang Middle School for several years. When I was young, I dared to think and venture into things. I always felt that the outside world was very big, and I wanted to go out and see and make great achievements. A career came up, so I quit my job and started growing and selling vegetables with my wife. We slowly made some money and rented a fixed stall at the Beihuan Wholesale Market. I thought about doing something else, and then I went out to sell vegetables, set up a construction team, etc., but I couldn't stop myself." Wang Yuhai told us about his entrepreneurial journey.

"My family has 6 brothers, the family burden is heavy, and the living conditions are difficult. I grew up eating 'Baijiafan'. After spending time outside for a long time, I always wanted to do something for my hometown and my fellow villagers." , especially after I turned 50 a few years ago, this idea became stronger and stronger. After I came back, I thought that I would not leave. I would regard the creation of the "Folk Village" as my last venture and do my best for the development of my hometown. In 2013, Wang Yuhai returned to his birthplace and donated 10,000 yuan to Yinhe Village Primary School, and set up an old dining table in Yinhe Village to provide high-quality and low-priced meals to more than 100 elderly people in the village. In order to improve the appearance of the village, he spent his own money to buy more than 1,000 green trees to green and beautify the village lanes. In addition, in order to allow the villagers to live a pleasant life like city dwellers, we have also invested in the construction of parks for middle-aged and elderly people to enrich the villagers' spare time life. In order to promote the industrial development of Yinhe Village and provide employment for farmers, Wang Yuhai established Ningxia Yinhe Folk Agricultural Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. to create a "folk custom village". At the same time, it operates 150 greenhouses and 300 acres of agricultural land, helping more than 100 villagers increase their income and become rich. He himself has won the honorary titles of the first "Excellent Volunteer for Respecting the Elderly" and the Most Beautiful Yinchuan Person in the country.

Village Secretary Ma Zhenfeng introduced that in the past few years since Wang Yuhai returned to his hometown to start a business, he was very enthusiastic about public welfare and actively participated in various activities organized by the village. At the end of 2020, the construction of the "Folk Village" of Yinhe Village began. Wang Yuhai improved the greening and beautification of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 14th communities of Yinhe Village. While improving the living environment, he retained the original houses and original greening features. , using imitation wood products, the walls along the line are painted pink, and elements such as party building, rural revitalization, village rules and conventions are painted on the walls, creating a "folk custom village" that integrates leisure agriculture, tourism and cultural display, and has stepped out of the A road to rural revitalization through the integrated development of the three industries. ?

"The company is now on the right track, and my life is getting better and better. I must never forget my original intention, remember that I am a villager in Yinhe Village, and lead my fellow villagers to live a better life." Good days, let them live happier lives like me. I am confident that the creation of the 'Folk Village' will attract more people to visit and drive more people around to find jobs and become rich. This is also my responsibility. My wish." Drinking water and remembering the source, Wang Yuhai is full of confidence when talking about the future.
