Louyi Friendship Street in Pingkou Town

Langtang Town in Xinhua County and Pingkou Town in Anhua County not only border each other, but are also important border trade towns. The two towns on the peninsula have a population of 30,000 people, of which there is only one street. The most interesting thing is that this street is not from Xinhua on one end and Anhua on the other. The people of the two counties live together in the "flower arrangement place". When the construction of the newly developed "Louyi Friendship Street" in the two cities was in full swing, the reporter deliberately walked into this street to decipher the story behind it for readers.

In the Ming Dynasty, a tea tax hall was built here

Zijiang is like a green silk satin spread on the land of Meishan, and also passes through Langtang. In ancient times, this area was busy with shipping and people Ships come and go, and the trade on the shore is prosperous. It is known as "Baoqing above, Langtang in the middle, and Yangyang below". In the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1411), an inspection department was set up here to patrol the area, namely Suxiguan. In the 22nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1543), the imperial court established a tea tax office here specifically to collect tea tax. At that time, the official office was "complete with entrance halls, bedrooms, and side rooms." It was stipulated that the annual cash register would be 3,000 taels, and tens of thousands of new tons of tea and tea would be processed. Most of Anhua's tea is taxed and shipped overseas. During the Republic of China, the Maoban boats here were even more popular. Zishui has brought economic and cultural prosperity and broadened people's horizons.

Zijiang turned lightly at Mayuchong in Langtang and Pingkou in Anhua, forming a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. But at this time, the peninsula was a desert island covered with trees and weeds. Popularity Not prosperous. In 1958, the construction of Zhexi Reservoir in Anhua started, and the water level of the Zijiang River rose. Laopingkou, 5 kilometers away from the peninsula, submerged under the water. A large number of immigrants moved out or moved back. Some people from Anhua and Xinhua gradually moved to the peninsula. In 1972 The Hunan-Guizhou Railway opened the passage from the southwest to the eastern coast. Pingkou Station (Anhua Station) was built in Pingkou, and some residents moved here. The island quickly formed a distinctive border trade town, growing to 30,000 people by 2010. people.

Someone, bring a bag of flies to complain

As the saying goes, there are many people and many things to do, not to mention people from two areas living in the same town and on the same street. . Due to historical reasons, some of the places where they first lived were in the mountains, some were fishing and running boats, some lived in river branches, etc. They were far apart and had no influence on each other.

"The land belongs to Xinhua, and the household registration belongs to Anhua... What should I do? Half of my family's land use certificate is in the Anhua Office and half is in the Xinhua Office." Chen Lixin, former deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Pingkou Town, In his office at the Louyi Youyi Street Construction Company in Pingkou Town, he told reporters that there are more than ten households like me with "half of the land certificates are in the Anhua Office and half in the Xinhua Office."

“We have a pond, 60 acres wide, where fish are raised, and the scenery is beautiful. The sewers at the flat entrance have to pass through the site of the second group of Suxin Village in Langtang. The villagers don’t let it pass, and the garbage is blocked there. The pond has turned into an ugly pond, it smells so bad," said Mr. Zhang from Xinhua who was interviewed on the street.

Su Ying, secretary of Langtang Suxin Industrial and Trade Zone, who accompanied the reporter during the interview, said: "This is a contradiction caused by immigration and other issues in the past 50 or 60 years. For the garbage in this eye pond, people from the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau After 7 mediations, the results are not obvious... There are still people who are suing with a bag of flies!"

In addition, there are many conflicts, such as electricity, transportation, communications, etc. Public security, etc., the party and government workers in Lou and Yi have done a lot of work, but "sometimes it is difficult because it involves matters in two regions." However, no matter what, the hope that the cadres and the masses in Lou and Yi see is: Although people in the town have different household registrations, 60% of the people in Pingkou are from Xinhua. They drink from the same river, live on the same island, speak the same language, and have the same customs. "Everyone eats a pot of soup, and celebrates happy events. We go to the same ancestral hall and go to the same tomb together during the Qingming Festival, and we perform lion and dragon dances. It's so affectionate..." Chen Lixin said with a smile. "My mother is from Anhua, and my father is from Xinhua. I don't deal with problems by 'transferring'." Su Ying said.

Call "0738" and "0737", no long-distance charges

Langtang, Pingkou and Xupu are bordered by each other. The railway, highway and waterway transportation within the territory is convenient, and the Zhanggui Expressway passes through it. And passed. In particular, Loudi and Yiyang cities have successively created border trade development zones, the jointly built "Louyi Friendship Street", and the 700-meter-long Loudi Yiyang City in accordance with the idea of ??"big transportation, big industry, big urban construction, big tourism, and big development". Yiyouyi Street will not only become a model for the people of the peninsula to enhance friendship and a harmonious society, but also a model for people from other places to learn from. It will also become the business center and leisure tourism center of Langtang and Pingkou towns, and can strongly radiate to the 13 towns of Xupu, Anhua and Xinhua. The township has a population of more than 600,000. Annual sales of 180 million yuan are achieved, business tax revenue of more than 5 million yuan is generated, and more than 6,000 people are employed. At the same time, the government is jointly developing the tourism industry. Langtang Town alone plans to invest 30 million yuan to repair the Zijiang embankment and build a three-star hotel and a border trade city.

“You can make any calls to ‘0738’ or ‘0737’. Long distance and roaming charges are not charged now.” On Yongxin Street, Pingkou Town, a young man surnamed Li from Anhua said while making a cell phone call.

In the office of "Louyi Friendship Street" in Pingkou, Chen Lixin took out a document jointly issued by the Xinhua and Anhua County Governments. The reporter felt very fresh and excited after reading it. "Youyi Street will be built starting from the current Timber Building and ending at the S225 highway line. 65 households will be demolished in Pingkou and 37 households in Langtang. The people are very supportive. Soon a new world will appear in front of people!" Chen Lixin was full of enthusiasm! Feeling.

“Investing 150 million to build Louyi Friendship Street in the immigration reservoir area, and jointly developing it, may be regarded as the first in the province...” Su Ying said.

The reporter stood on the 3rd floor of the office building of the Armed Forces Department in Pingkou Town and looked at the Youyi Street construction site. He saw a busy scene: machines were rumbling, welding flashing, part of the construction site was basically flat, and workers Carrying soil for piling and pouring cement. Yes, the joint development of border trade and the joint construction of Friendship Street are not only an extension of the friendship and well-being of the people of the two cities, but also the Langtang waterfront on the land of Meishan, a place where shipping is busy with people coming and going. A new chapter in the history of trade prosperity and so on.
