Chapter 32 Chapter 5 Golden Beach. Fire Phoenix. Mangrove

Documenting the decades of history of a city, especially one that has undergone dramatic changes, is not an easy task.Any fragmentation and one-sidedness may bring harm to some people and make some people dissatisfied and uncomfortable.As writers are restricted by various factors, the possibility of breaks and one-sidedness in the records is almost inevitable.However, in the 20 years since Sanya was upgraded to a prefecture-level city, no historical process has been independent.No leader or government has completed an independent historical process alone. This is because the pace of Sanya’s construction from a small fishing port to a modern international tropical coastal tourist city, although there are leaping stages, is more of a step by step type of progress.And the historical trajectory of successive leaders leading the people of the city to success and glory is basically relay, cross, or even successive.

Liu Mingqi once told me that after he resigned as the secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee and later became the deputy governor of Sanya, when he re-determined who would take over Sanya's "top leader" several times, Comrade Ruan Chongwu, then Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, asked him many times. Opinion.Comrade Liu Mingqi is a person with rich political experience. He said to Comrade Ruan Chongwu, it depends on what problems you want Sanya to focus on solving at this time, so you can choose whoever has the best ability to solve these problems to take over in Sanya .Liu Mingqi is indeed a seasoned politician, his words are full of the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and also contain a lot of dialectics.

So Zhong Wen went to Sanya, then Hong Shouxiang went to Sanya, and then Wang Fuyu went to Sanya, and it was Yu Xun who took Wang Fuyu to Sanya... Along with Zhong Wen, Hong Shouxiang and Yu Xun, there were of course a large number of their colleagues and assistants. Most of them are also quite outstanding and outstanding, and they have also done a lot of things beneficial to the people in Sanya.History will never forget, even if they are not mentioned in my works, but every imprint of them left on the hot land of Sanya will never disappear, and the people will always remember them.I firmly believe.

In May 2002, at the Fourth Party Congress of Hainan Province, Wang Fuyu was elected as the deputy secretary of the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. He was then transferred to work in the Hainan Provincial Committee. Comrade Yu Xun, member of the Standing Committee. Sanya people's evaluation of Xun is: he made Sanya exquisite. It is not easy to turn a small fishing port into a city, and it is even more difficult to renovate a city with a chaotic environment and random construction into an influential city with picturesque scenery everywhere and a great reputation at home and abroad.As for Yu Xun's current team, it must be more difficult to raise Sanya to a refined level on the basis of its predecessors' greatness and beauty.What is needed at this time is not only revolutionary enthusiasm and energy, but also scientific ideas, scientific means, and humanistic concerns.It is the details that require attention.

20 years is not a long time for the history of a city.But if it can make people feel "completely changed" in 20 years, it must be that the city has undergone tremendous changes. The Sanya I saw 20 years ago is completely different from the current Sanya. They are two cities with different grades, different concepts and different essences.In the past, it was just a small remote fishing port town in China, but today Sanya has become a city where we can experience life and enjoyment.This is Sanya. A city that allows people to feel and enjoy life happily is not only a material paradise for people, but also a paradise for people's hearts and spirits.

Besides, what else does man need? This is why all domestic and foreign tourists love Sanya so much.People are satisfied with happiness and enjoyment at a certain stage.Sanya has given many people this kind of satisfaction.In the process of obtaining satisfaction, there is a new starting point, and a new charge of life begins—— If Sanya is said to be beautiful, its beaches can be said to be the most beautiful.Because the beach is the place connecting the sea and the land, and it is also the place where tourists like to imagine and play.To measure the tourism conditions of a bay, the quality of its beaches comes first. Without good beaches, there will be no coastal tourism value.The beach is therefore a habitat sought by both man and nature.

Now, we are back to Yalong Bay, the "No. 1 Bay in the World" in beautiful Sanya. We are accompanied by a special pair of tourists—they are a couple. The husband is Zhang Baoquan, chairman of Beijing Jindian Investment Group Co., Ltd., and his wife is Wang Qiuyang, president of Jindian Investment Group Co., Ltd. This couple, who are well-known in China's real estate industry, came to Yalong Bay for vacation this time.Like other tourists, they chose to come to Sanya during the Spring Festival.But what they didn't expect was that they couldn't live in a better hotel right now, and the ordinary rooms of the Gloria International Hotel in Yalong Bay had already been fully booked.At that time, there were only a few high-end star hotels in Yalong Bay.

Zhang Baoquan felt sorry for his wife and children.In Beijing, he can call the wind and call the rain, but why can't he even stay in a hotel in Sanya?He was a little angry—when the big boss was angry, the hotel was happy: Zhang Baoquan's family rented a "presidential suite" in the Gloria Hotel, which was unaffordable for ordinary tourists. In the eyes of a big real estate agent like Zhang Baoquan, how much is a presidential private room?After a week, Zhang Baoquan felt that it was too cost-effective and comfortable-the beautiful place of Yalong Bay not only made them fully feel the relaxation and comfort after a year of hard work, but at the same time they were strongly conquered by the beautiful beaches of Yalong Bay.

That day, the sun was already slanting in the western sky, and under the reflection of the setting sun, layers of golden waves were floating on the sea, which was extremely beautiful.Zhang Baoquan suddenly remembered the poem "The sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky".Looking back at the beach again, it is really golden... Oh, this is the golden beach! It is so beautiful! Middle-aged people look at Jinshatan as if looking at their own brilliant career and bright future.Facing the vast sea, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, seabirds flying, feeling the deep color of the sea under the autumn sun, it is like feeling your own life...

When he looked at the dreamlike "Gloria International Hotel" under the night, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart.So he immediately jumped up from the beach, ran to his wife, and uttered an idea he had just had... "Okay! We're also building a super hotel here! It's like having another son..." Wang Qiuyang's eyes were filled with the firmness and romance of a mature woman. "Instead of spending money to rent other people's hotels, we should build a new hotel here that is comparable to Gloria! You decide, after you decide, we will come to Sanya this year to discuss..." Like all the big decisions in the past Similarly, Zhang Baoquan came up with ideas and wisdom, while his wife made arguments and decisions.

Thus, the "Mangrove Hotel" invested nearly 700 million yuan by Jindian Group was born on the Golden Sand Beach. It brought a new atmosphere to Sanya tourism, especially Yalong Bay. This is exactly what Yalong Bay needs and what Sanya needs.Chen Sunwen was the mayor of Sanya during the transition period between Wang Fuyu and Yu Xun, and he experienced years of great development and great changes in Sanya.In an interview with me, he said: "From 1998 to 2003, we paid close attention to hardware construction. The high-end hotels in Yalong Bay in those years can almost be described as 'flowers everywhere', such as 'Mangrove', 'Sheraton', 'God's will', as well as golf courses, etc., were all built during this period. With supporting facilities and beautiful golden sand beaches, the number of tourists in Yalong Bay increased rapidly, and the peak season and off-season were inseparable. Prosperous and unabated..." Although we have been unable to re-experience the exciting history of great development and great changes, we can still feel the earth-shattering events that happened yesterday as long as we take a walk and look at today's Yalong Bay and the brand-new Sanya City. Variety. "Secretary Yu Xun later put forward the concept of bringing tourists back to the city, which brought Sanya City into a new stage of taste development." A government official told me this way. The city must have taste.The grade of the city determines the competitiveness of the city in a sense. A tasteful city can attract the attention of people all over the world, especially people from European and American countries with a relatively high level of civilization.Can Sanya do it? Zeng Qingquan, the former director of the Sanya City Planning Bureau, is currently the assistant to the mayor of the Sanya Municipal People's Government and the head of the Haitang Bay Development Management Committee. When I went to interview him that day, I waited outside his office for more than an hour.Zeng Qingquan's office has never lost people.It was almost noon when he squeezed out time to accept my interview. "Too busy, too busy. I have only been in office for three days, and there are already too many things to do!" Zeng Qingquan said to me embarrassingly. "What are you talking about? Haitang Bay? Haha, I've only been here for a few days, so I'm not familiar with the situation!" Zeng Qingquan said.But when he took out the "Haitang Bay Development Plan", I found that he was not "unfamiliar with the situation" at all, but simply "Haitang Bay".In Zeng Qingquan's heart—I believe it is the same in the hearts of today's Sanya leaders, including Secretary Jiang Zelin, Mayor Lu Zhiyuan, etc.—the place that pretends the most and makes them most excited may be Haitang Bay! "Haitang Bay is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with beautiful scenery, blue sea water, white sandy beaches, and forests of coconut trees. The planned area is 98.7 square kilometers. It has a beautiful coastline of 22.4 kilometers. It has Nantian Hot Spring, which is known as the "No. Tourist attractions such as Zhou Island, Coconut Island, Islamic Ancient Tombs, and Tenghai Bay, where you can watch the sunrise in the new millennium. It is a diversified tropical coastal tourism and leisure resort in the market, as well as a national marine scientific research, education, and expo complex." "National Seashore? Can you describe the concept to us?" I was very curious about this. Zeng Qingquan said: "'National Coast' is to put the development of Haitang Bay at the height of national strategy, just like Hawaii is to the United States, Cancun is to Mexico, Dubai is to the United Arab Emirates, Haitang Bay will also become China and the United Arab Emirates. The pole of world tourism and vacation!" "How to understand one pole of China and even the world?" Zeng Qingquan cleared his throat and said: "Let's put it this way, from the perspective of the development stage of cities around the world, today has developed from the automobile age to the information age, and the next step will be to enter the ecological age. Sanya, which has taken the lead in entering the ecological age, will surely Participate in the urban division of labor and assume the function of the world's coastal tourism and vacation destinations in the peaceful rise of China. Haitang Bay will definitely reconstruct the core value of the region in the new development opportunities of Hainan. Therefore, in reconstructing the regional value system of Haitang Bay Among them, we must face the future with a social ecological and scientific development concept, and use an innovative urban development system to ensure that Haitang Bay becomes a new development pole, and establish integrated and complex urban functions, that is, the integration of leisure, vacation and residence, and the public The supporting services are internationalized and high-quality. In addition, the urban development form should change from the traditional "inland city" to "coastal city". The future of Sanya must be developed along the coastline, and the main urban facilities are distributed along the coastline. From the coastline to the The intensity of in-depth development decreases, forming a value peak. According to statistics, China is the country with the lowest per capita shoreline value, which further highlights the scarce value of shoreline properties.” This is an encouragingly high-level framework for a "future world"! There is no doubt that the people of Sanya want to build Haitang Bay into a world-class golden beach, and the pace of construction has already begun... Ah, once that golden beach is built, many people all over the world will get drunk there. I don’t know why, when I was in Sanya, there was an image of a flying bird hovering in front of my eyes: it was alive and well, flying in the sky, dancing on the ground, or resting on the stones by the sea... It is A fire phoenix. From the moment you get out of the airport, to the long Sanya Bay, to the hotel where you stay, and strolling in the park or on the street, the name "Phoenix" is like the city's worship of a mascot, which can be seen everywhere. .Phoenix Airport, Fenghuang Road, Phoenix Hotel, Phoenix Park, Fenghuang Village, Phoenix Tree... The soul of the city of Sanya seems to be Phoenix, but if you think about it carefully, the journey that Sanya has traveled in the past 20 years is just like a bird on fire. Reborn Fire Phoenix? The process of upgrading Sanya to a prefecture-level city was born out of the original Li and Miao Autonomous Prefecture—this process is a psychological and spiritual shock and cleansing; it is the process of Sanya moving from a small fishing port to a city. Wearing leather shoes to grow watermelons in greenhouses, citizens need to learn to rent out houses as their own livelihood, this is another moth to the fire in terms of concepts and behaviors; no one dares to mention putting the world's beauty pageant in China The whole process, until the Chinese girl stood on the "Miss World" championship podium for the first time, and the Sanya people became the first "crab eaters". Isn't such courage and behavior the nirvana of a phoenix? ? Who else can insist on scientific development, ecological construction of the city, and unremittingly turn the concept of building an international tropical coastal tourist city into the joint action of the municipal government and the whole people in the past few decades? Sanya people and previous leaders of Sanya have done it, and they have done it successfully!This is a place worthy of special mention in the history of Sanya's development. She is even more precious than the beautiful sunshine, sandy beaches and coasts.The things left to us by nature may make it shine and attract tourists from all over the world when the material civilization is highly developed. can do it. This is the spirit of Sanya that I want to express.The Sanya spirit is very similar to the "Fire Phoenix" spirit. It recognizes the goal, is brave in devotion, dares to innovate, is selfless and fearless, and strives for victory until victory—this is the concentrated expression and highly condensed form of reform, opening up, and emancipation of the mind.It is the style and spirit of the Communists.It is a spiritual force for urban construction and people's pursuit of happiness and well-being. Mr. Guo may have already thought that Sanya, which he was obsessed with, will have a magnificent "Phoenix Nirvana" scene around the new century, otherwise how could he raise his arms and "sing happily"! History is always so wonderful.Otherwise, how could the master Guo Moruo work so hard to compile local chronicles for a small fishing port?Is it because he has a premonition in the dark, or does he believe that there will be a day when a fire phoenix will emerge in Sanya? Mr. Guo is smiling, smiling so kindly and so satisfied... However, on the road of governance of the various leaders of Sanya City, every step up is actually a phoenix-style nirvana. When Yu Xun was in office, he put forward the construction goal of "one city, two capitals and three centers", that is, to build Sanya into an international tourist city; a health capital and a leisure capital; an exhibition center, a shopping center and a fashion center.In those few years, Sanya continued to hold major events to increase Sanya's popularity, and constantly tried to mobilize various positive factors, characteristic factors and regional factors to achieve this increase in popularity, making Sanya among the "six major industrial advantages". At the same time, around the urban pattern of "one area, one line and five points", the development of urban and rural development has been continuously promoted, so that the people of Sanya can truly feel the fruits of the reform, and realize that the expectation of future happiness is so real and beautiful. Zheng Yaliu, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Neighborhood Committee of Nanhai Residential Area, Sanya City.Zheng Yaliu is somewhat famous in Sanya, because he is a national model worker, and also because he is a national worker who was born as a fisherman.The village where Zheng Yaliu lives is in the urban area of ​​Sanya, and there are still a large number of fishing boats in the fishing port at the Sanya River Bay.This fishing port is next to the Hongzhou Hotel where I live, and the whistle of motorized fishing boats can be heard from morning to night every day... This fishing port is very poetic, although it is a bit out of place with the modern city, but keeping it will make people happy Have more understanding and nostalgia for Sanya-if the coastal city does not have the original fishing port, it may be as boring as Washington without the museum. The Nanhai residential area was originally a fishing port village in Sanya, and its history is longer than the name Sanya.The history of Sanya began here.Therefore, the fishermen here can be said to be the oldest indigenous people.Their current living conditions are a kind of development index of Sanya.I came to the Nanhai Neighborhood Committee for an interview. The deputy secretary was also surnamed Zheng. He told me that the per capita income of Nanhai Village exceeded 10,000 yuan last year. "70% of the residents still make a living from fishing. However, most of them become bosses, and the people employed on a fishing boat are all from other places. The big fishing boat has hundreds of tons, and they can go fishing on the high seas..." Zheng The Sanya fishermen described by the deputy secretary to me today are completely mechanized fishermen. They live in buildings, use satellite navigation to go to sea, and wear famous brand suits and high boots... Walking out of the Nanhai Fishing Village, my thoughts suddenly recalled the West Island I visited a few days ago.The story of the "Sea Island Female Militia" that I have heard since I was a child happened in the West Island.Thank you for the thoughtful arrangement of the host. When I went that day, the local government specially called all the island female militia "artillery squad" fighters to the island in advance: Chen Hongliu, Chen Xianglan, Su Lanqin, Chen Linmei, Su Rinong, Wang Fuhua. I have met six of the eight sisters of the "Female Artillery Squad".Most of them have reached retirement age, so they should be called eldest sisters. This is an amazing group. They have been received by the president of the country, and several marshals have shot and practiced guns with them... They are the heroes and stars of the "all people are soldiers" era in the last century.They are all old now, but their faces are shining, their bodies are still strong, and they are living happily - which makes me happy.The West Island where they live is now half a sea tourist attraction open to the outside world, and half a place where islanders live and produce.The preservation and progress of West Island reflect the history and present of Sanya. When I shook hands with these elder sisters and said goodbye, I felt the thickness, strength, will and strength of Sanya.At that moment, the sunset was just reflected in the sea, and the whole West Island was illuminated like a soaring fire phoenix—magnificent and bright, majestic and beautiful! During my days in Sanya, the mangrove forest was like a green scarf draped over the sea, fluttering in front of my eyes from time to time, like a flowing poem or a jumping song, which fascinated me... Mangrove, a rare woody viviparous plant, grows on the tidal flats at the junction of the land and the sea, and is a special ecosystem transitioning from land to sea.Whenever the tide rises, most of its torso will be submerged in the water, leaving only the lush canopy floating above the water.After the tide ebbs, its body in various poses will resurface again.As the only viviparous woody plant in today's coastal wetland ecosystems, mangroves serve as the backbone of coastal forests.At the same time, due to the well-developed tidal channels in the mangrove area, it can attract a large number of fish, shrimps, crabs, shellfish and other organisms to come here to forage, inhabit and reproduce.After low tide, the mangrove forest is a world of root carvings. Each tree is supported by more than a dozen roots, arranged in a chicken cage shape, guarding and arching the trunk.In addition to prop roots, there are respiratory roots and aerial roots.The mangrove tree seems to be supported, with dense roots that stand up, much like the aerial roots of a banyan tree. When they are arranged, they form a guard with a length of tens of meters, hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters and hundreds of miles. The "Great Wall of Steel" on the coast. I know that all Sanya people like mangroves.Sanya people respect mangroves and regard them as "city trees".Someone once said: If there were no mangroves, Sanya would not be as beautiful as it is today; if there were no mangroves, Sanya would have been engulfed by the waves of the sea.I believe this to be true.In many tropical sea areas, where there are mangroves, the coast must be lush and lush, and the sea and land will live in harmony; otherwise, the sea and land will always be in a state of life and death struggle. The mangrove spirit is actually a spirit that Sanya has been promoting over the years. I did not have a direct dialogue with the current secretary Jiang Zelin, nor did I communicate with the current mayor Lu Zhiyuan, but I have had many dialogues and exchanges with their current city and people.This city told me: the development ideas proposed by their current city leaders have well inherited the mangrove spirit. They have transplanted the mangrove forest's harmonious ability and lofty spirit between the sea and the land to today's Sanya. in development.The people in this city told me: they are now more and more satisfied with the correct leadership of the party and government here, and they are satisfied with the happiness and bright future brought to them by such leadership. Compared with the changes and problems encountered 20 years ago, Sanya today can be described as "completely different".Just as Secretary Jiang Zelin said: Sanya is at a historically critical moment when it is moving towards a high-speed development stage.In this stage of rapid development, how to walk the road is a test of the ability of the new leadership team and those in charge. Compared with the style of previous leaders, the current leaders pay more attention to "fine carving and carving".Over the years in Sanya, no matter in the urban construction or the development of tourism, the subjective consciousness of Sanya people has gradually revealed a strong desire to be a modern urbanite.When a foreign tourist puts forward an opinion and writes a letter of complaint, the degree of importance attached by the municipal party committee and the municipal government is full of emotion. In 2006 and mid-2007, Sanya was exposed by national media and complained by tourists on the Internet.In fact, such things often happen in scenic spots in other cities, but the level of seriousness of the Sanya leadership can be described as "unparalleled in the whole country"-the mayor and secretary came out to publicly criticize on TV and newspapers, and even specially Send city-level leaders all the way to tourists' homes to apologize, and send suggestions and measures for rectification. This is Sanya people.They regard their own cities and tourist attractions as their own eyes and take extra care of them.When the city has reached such a state, what miracles in the world cannot be created? Sanya is already beautiful, Sanya has taken off, and Sanya has matured.This is because Sanya people have always maintained the spirit of the mangrove forest, which is full of turbidity and clearness, tolerance and dedication, perseverance, bravery, integrity and simplicity. It is this mangrove spirit and mangrove culture that gave birth to the harmony of Wufu Minkang in Sanya today. The scenery, and promote the people of Sanya to forge ahead and move forward bravely in order to build a harmonious well-off society... In the 20 years since Sanya was established, there are still a series of names worth thinking about. Among them are Li Guorong, Wang Xueping, Liu Mingqi, Zhong Wen, Hong Shouxiang, Wang Fuyu, Chen Sunwen, Wang Weilu, Fu Guihua, Lin Anbin, Yu Xun and the current Jiang Zelin... They all served in Sanya, or were Sanya leaders who went out of Sanya and were promoted to senior officials at the provincial and ministerial level.A prefecture-level city can produce more than a dozen provincial and ministerial leaders in 20 years, which is unique among cities of the same level in the country.There is no Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, no Suzhou, known as the "governor", and no other cities. Sanya is unique. This point of Sanya also shows its own value and brilliance.There must be something remarkable about a city that has produced so many senior leaders.The 20-year development history of Sanya confirms this conclusion.The future of Sanya will definitely be even more brilliant, because the future Sanya will not only belong to Hainan, but also to the whole of China and the whole world... It is doomed.Let us pay attention together, bless and pray for Sanya together. 20 years is a young life. 20 years, is a round of youthful sun. In another 20 years, Sanya will become more mature and beautiful.Mature beauty is the real alluring beauty. This is the expectation of the people of the whole country, and it is also the expectation of people all over the world.
