Chapter 17 16. Wang Leyi——Healthy People in Vegetable Greenhouses

An ordinary peasant party member, relying on hard work, wisdom, and courage, created a "green miracle"-the successful experiment of winter warm vegetable greenhouse technology, ending the history of not being able to eat fresh vegetables in winter in northern China; The "white" wave marked by the cultivation of greenhouse vegetables is called the second revolution of contemporary Chinese agriculture.What is even more valuable is that with his broad mind, he spared no effort to spread technology to all directions, enabling hundreds of millions of peasants to embark on the road to prosperity.He is Wang Leyi, Secretary of the Party Branch of Sanyuanzhu Village, Sunjiaji Town, Shouguang City, Shandong Province.

In September 1978, 15 party members of Sanyuan Zhu Village unanimously elected 37-year-old Wang Leyi as the village party branch secretary.In the spring of that year, Wang Leyi was diagnosed with rectal cancer, and the commune paid for him to have an anal diversion operation. A feces bag was hung on his waist, making his daily life inconvenient.Hearing that he was going to be a branch secretary, the old mother and wife disagreed with anything.But Wang Leyi thought to himself: The party organization trusts me, the whole village needs me, even if it takes my life, I have to shoulder this burden.At the first branch meeting, he made it clear: "Water has a source, a tree has roots, and the party's kindness is deeper than the sea! The leaders and everyone trust me so much, so I will do it. I can't say how many years I can live, as long as As long as the body can hold it, one day’s work will be done for the party; one day’s work will be done for the young and old!” In this way, he dragged his sick and disabled body and worked for more than 20 years.

At that time, Sanyuanzhu Village was still a piece of barren land. Vegetables did not grow, and the grain was not harvested. The villagers could not even fill their stomachs.Most of the land in Zhu Village in Sanyuan is on the east, south and west Buzilings, with poor soil quality and lack of water.If you want to pull out the "roots of poverty" and let the masses live a good life, you must first operate from Sanbuziling.In the first few days when he took office, he led the members of the village team around the three Buzilings and made a development plan: "Dongling apples, Xiling peaches, Nanling hawthorns and grapes." Wang Leyi led the cadres The masses fought hard for three spring and autumn, so that the three Buzilings were covered with green clothes, and the fragrance of fruits wafted out.By 1988, the whole village had developed 430 mu of orchards.The bare Buziling in the past has become a "Huaguo Mountain" and a "treasure bowl", and the fruit trees all over the mountains have become "cash cows".The annual per capita net income of the whole village increased from tens of yuan to 1200 yuan.

The problem of food and clothing for the masses has been solved, but Wang Leyi is not satisfied.He realized that in order to increase the income of farmers, he had to make a fuss about the land and let the land generate gold! On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1988, Wang Xinmin, Wang Leyi's cousin, brought back 1 kg of fresh cucumbers with thorns and flowers on top from Dalian.These juicy cucumbers in the cold winter months made Wang Leyi's eyes brighten: Isn't this a good way to get rich! After returning from his studies, Wang Leyi tried repeatedly according to the natural production conditions of his village. He not only mastered the greenhouse technology he learned, but also carried out bold reforms on the five aspects of the greenhouse from the orientation, wall, roof structure, greenhouse frame, and covering film. , and finally built a winter-warm vegetable greenhouse that does not need to be heated in deep winter.It was already August 1989, and Wang Leyi decided to go to the physical greenhouse immediately.But no matter how he does his work, no one builds it.Because building a greenhouse requires more than 10,000 yuan, for the villagers who have just solved their food and clothing problems, it is difficult to get so much money, not to mention that it is the first time to do it, and the risk is quite high.Therefore, he called on the 17 party members and cadres in the village to take the lead. 17 greenhouses were quickly built in the fields in the north of the village. Build the shed in August, sow the seeds in October, and the fresh and tender cucumbers will be on the market at the end of December!By early May of the following year, the lowest income of the 17 vegetable greenhouses was 20,700 yuan, and the highest income was 30,300 yuan.In the past, there was not a single ten-thousand-yuan household in the whole village, but this time there were 17 of them!The villagers were overwhelmed and excited, and asked to build greenhouses one after another.In the second year, the number of greenhouses in the village suddenly increased to 144, and the average household income increased by 10,000 yuan that year.

In order to continuously improve and perfect the greenhouse planting technology, under his initiative, the village invested 1 million yuan to build a science and technology building integrating scientific research promotion, material services, and popular science training. The unit has hired experts and professors for technical guidance for a long time, and sent people to Japan and the Netherlands to learn and introduce new technologies and varieties. In 2000, the per capita net income of Sanyuanzhu Village reached 7,500 yuan, and the average deposit of the whole village reached 100,000 yuan.

The successful experiment of winter-warm vegetable greenhouses has aroused the attention of Shouguang, Shandong Province, and the whole country. Many places have hired Wang Leyi as a consultant. Wherever he goes, his footprints of getting rich will extend. In May 1993, a leading comrade of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region visited Sanyuanzhu Village and said to Wang Leyi: "In Xinjiang, vegetables are shipped from other places for eight months a year. Can you help us develop greenhouse vegetables in Xinjiang?" No After two months, Wang Leyi led 6 technicians to the Hami area of ​​Xinjiang and helped them set up 26 greenhouses.The following year, Wang Leyi brought 42 technicians to Xinjiang again, from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang, teaching technology all the way.In just a few years, winter-warm greenhouses have spread all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and people in Xinjiang have basically achieved self-sufficiency in eating vegetables.

Wang Leyi is loved by people not only because he created the miracle of vegetable cultivation, but also because of his noble personality and selfless dedication. For more than ten years, Wang Leyi has painstakingly studied the technology of growing vegetables in greenhouses and enthusiastically spread the way to get rich. He is known as the "Green Messenger".He went out to pass on his art, wherever he went, he was welcomed with drums and gongs.The cadres and masses in Hotan City, Xinjiang presented him with a copper plaque with sixteen characters written on it: "Happy in teaching art, full of righteousness in Hotan, empathetic to the East China Sea, and in love with Kunlun".
