Chapter 9 Chapter nine

In 1988, Huaxi took the initiative to set up factories in several surrounding villages to help them. Although the life of these villages was improved, due to the increasingly fierce market competition, the good life of the surrounding villages did not improve steadily. Even slipping.This made Wu Renbao rethink the issue of assistance: In the past, he always said that "a small boat can turn around", but in fact, under the market conditions of the increasingly globalized economy, only "a big boat can withstand wind and waves".The reason why Huaxi Village can ride the wind and waves and get better and better benefits is precisely because its enterprise group has strong competitiveness.So a bold idea to break the rural administrative pattern in China for more than 50 years was formed in his mind, and then Wu Renbao reported his idea to the higher-level department in the form of a written report.

"Okay! Comrade Wu Renbao's ideas and thinking are in line with Deng Xiaoping's theory, and it also reflects the fact that the important thought of the 'Three Represents' represents the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people! We believe that this is the way of 'one division and five unification'! Innovation is also operable! This also shows that the ideal of common prosperity that Wu Renbao pursued all his life has begun to move from West China to the society, and we fully support it!" The attitude of the superior department greatly encouraged Wu Renbao.

"Family and relatives are good, and neighbors are good to neighbors. Over the years, everyone has seen that the life of Huaxi Village is getting better every day. The villagers eat, use, wear, and save in the bank than other villages. That's a lot! But what I want to say is that I, Wu Renbao, are happy when Huaxi Village is getting rich. But if you—your neighbors in the village are all well, I, Wu Renbao, will be even happier! Now, I want to ask Everyone: Would you like to go on the road with Huaxi and walk the socialist Jinguang Avenue with Huaxi characteristics together?" It was a sunny and warm spring day, and Wu Renbao came to Huaming, Jingbang, Sanyu Lane and Qianjin Village In the fields at the head of the village, he asked everyone this way while helping others with his trouser legs.

"Yes! We all want to be Huaxi people in our dreams!" The villagers in the neighboring villages surrounded Wu Renbao for a long time, unwilling to leave. "Okay, in a few days, you will all be Huaxi people! Let's get rich together and strive for a well-off society!" Wu Renbao was also very excited that day.Now he invited cadres from the four villages of Huaming, Pidgin, Qianjin, and Sanyu Lane, and then widely solicited opinions on his idea of ​​"one division and five unification". "One point is that the village and the enterprise are separated. The original village committee after our full cooperation with Huaxi is still self-governed and elected by the villagers of the village; the five unifications, that is, the five villages that are united are unified economically by the Huaxi Group. Is the unified use of cadres, unified use of personnel, unified welfare of villagers, and unified planning of village construction in the five villages?" asked Wu Renbao, a cadre from a neighboring village.

Wu Renbao smiled: "That's what it means. You understand it pretty quickly." "Huaxi's benefit is very different from ours. Isn't this system a big loss for you?" "Huaxi Village has developed a collective economy in the past few decades, and it is pursuing common prosperity. After you join Dahuaxi, you are Huaxi people. Huaxi people don't talk about who loses and who gains, but only about contribution and ability. Besides, Huaxi still has To develop forward, after you join in, you will also provide space and prospects for the development of Huaxi in terms of human and natural resources, and we will not suffer from each other!"

"Okay, that's it! We are willing to be Huaxi people!" "We are willing too!" "willing--" Ah, being a native of Huaxi is a dream for the surrounding farmers!Farmers are most concerned about affordable prices. Now that Wu Renbao has sent "fat meat" that can already smell the fragrance, who would not like it?Those who don't want to are fools, but those who farm the land are not fools! Wu Renbao's "One Division and Five Regulations" attracted four villages of Huaming, Jingbang, Qianjin and Sanyuxiang in the first year.In the second year, Xixiang, Beimiaojia, Shuichixiang, Chentang, Zhujiangxiang and other villages had almost 100% signature rate of the people (Wu Renbao requested that any village cadres who want to join the surrounding villages of Dahuaxi must seek the villagers’ voluntary consent. Signature) to request "incorporation into West China".

Under the guidance of "one division and five reunifications", in just a few years, Huaxi has "expanded" to an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers today, with 16 village-level units under its jurisdiction, and its population has increased to more than 30,000... When we walk into the prosperous and beautiful Dahuaxi today, you can see the orderly "industrial areas", "living areas", "leisure and entertainment areas", "ecological agriculture areas", " "Tourist Scenic Area" and other spectacular and beautiful modern scenes, it seems to be in a different kind of city, which was not easy to do in Huaxi Village before "one division and five unification".

When Wu Renbao was asked to describe the prospect of Dahuaxi after the "one division and five reunifications", the old man raised his eyes out of the window and told me affectionately: "When I am eighty years old, all the villagers in Dahuaxi will move into villas and new houses, and let them Everyone can enjoy the happy life of Zhongkang..." What is the concept of Zhongkang?Zhongkang should have a per capita income of more than 6,000 US dollars!In fact, I know that Huaxi Village has surpassed this level in 2004.But in Wu Renbao's mind, Zhongkang is more than a concept of per capita income of 6,000 US dollars, it also includes the quality of material life, quality of spiritual life, and confidence in the future and so on.

Wu Renbao told me that there is a bigger wish in his inner world: the closer the life of the villagers in West China is to Zhongkang and Dakang, the more he wants to realize it for the peasant brothers who are thousands of miles away in poor areas of China. Helping to get rid of poverty and run towards a well-off society... What a lofty heart of an old communist! "Wu Renbao, the treasure of the country." A central leader commented on him this way. In the past 10 to 20 years, under Wu Renbao's advocacy, Huaxi Village has always adhered to the concept of "a village is not rich if it is rich, but the whole country is rich". Outstanding achievements in poverty alleviation.Among them, Wu Renbao is even more old-fashioned, taking the lead.

As early as 1991, after Wu Renbao signed a poverty alleviation cooperation agreement with the leaders of Shaanxi Province, he personally led the backbone of the village to the Loess Plateau thousands of miles away—Gaochao Village in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province to investigate and implement poverty alleviation and factory construction. In the beginning, every time a "Huaxi Village" was built in other provinces, Wu Renbao would personally go to inspect and implement the specific projects, and even went to some places several times a year.That year, on the way to Shanxi Province, the assisting technical investigation team of Huaxi Village had an accident in the car. Wu Renbao, who was nearly 67 years old, insisted on going to the destination despite the bleeding and pain. When he got off the car and went to Dazhai When visiting the assistance project, Guo Fenglian from Dazhai held the hand of the old man and was moved to tears: "It is a blessing to have an old secretary like you in Huaxi, and we are honored to have a good relative like you in Dazhai!"

In 1994, the State Council formulated the "87 Poverty Alleviation Plan", which aims to solve the food and clothing problems of 80 million poor people in rural China within seven years.On his way back, Wu Renbao, who had already embarked on the poverty alleviation journey in the west, went to Beijing to tell the leader of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council: Huaxi Village is willing to invest huge sums of money in training cadres for economically underdeveloped areas. Before 2000, help 100,000 people in the western region get rid of poverty and 10,000 people become well-off! "Amazing! Huaxi is amazing! Wu Renbao is amazing!" While admiring Wu Renbao, the leaders of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council also called his training and poverty alleviation ideas "a great pioneering work in China's poverty alleviation projects." From that year onwards, under the leadership of Wu Renbao, Huaxi Village accepted cadre training tasks from all over the country every year. Year.All the cadres who come here for training are provided by Huaxi with a full set of high-quality free services for living and studying.Wu Renbao not only serves as the leader of the leading group for the training, but also must attend several classes in each session.Students from impoverished areas learned from Huaxi and Wu Renbao the experience of becoming rich in a well-off society, and were also deeply infected by Wu Renbao, an old secretary at the grassroots level, with his deep feelings for the people, the collective, the country, and the party.And Wu Renbao said: "I came from the old society, and I know that people in poor places care about two things most: whether they can have enough food and clothing, and whether they can send their children to school. But whenever I go to those poor places in the west When I left, I felt very heavy in my heart, and I wanted to help them. We are a socialist country, and Huaxi is able to become rich today because of socialism, so we in Huaxi help the poor brothers and we are determined to pursue common prosperity. An expression of faith, an emotion." Over the past ten years, with Wu Renbao's dedicated efforts, Huaxi has established no less than ten "Huaxi Villages" in foreign regions, and the goal of helping 100,000 people in the west to get rid of poverty and 10,000 people to become well-off has already been achieved.However, the footsteps of Wu Renbao and Huaxi people's help never stopped. "Huaxi villages" with "Wu Renbao model" blossomed everywhere in Ningxia, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi and other places. When Wu Renbao helped these brother provinces to build "Huaxi villages", What he took out was not only money pockets, but also his concept and awareness of building socialism with Chinese characteristics.He even sent the best technical backbone and management experts from Huaxi Village to take root in those places besides his own support at every critical moment, and his own son must be among these backbones and experts. In 1995, the village party committee decided to build a "Northeast Huaxi Village" for a mountain village in Zhaodong, Heilongjiang, where the conditions were very harsh and the social situation was complicated.Wu Renbao chose his most beloved and youngest son, "Lao Si". When parting, he said to "Lao Si": When you go there, you must honor the people there like you honor me and your mother, and you must also do the same as building Huaxi. Build the "Northeast Huaxi Village". "Fourth" lived up to his father's expectations and led the local villagers to work hard in autumn, winter, spring and summer, leveling the land and setting up factories. In one year, this poor village with a per capita income of less than 1,000 yuan has jumped to 4,000 yuan per capita. local wealthy villages. "I still have the same old saying: What is socialism? It is to let the people live a good life. What is our Communist Party going to do today? It is to let the people who have not lived a good life live a good life as soon as possible, and let the people who have already lived a good life The common people will be happier, richer, healthier and live longer..." Wu Renbao, who has more than 50 years of party membership and is 78 years old, still has a loud voice, hurried steps, and undiminished energy. After handing over the power of Huaxi to his successor, he said that his current task is: Strive to live to 100 years old, and then do something for the party and the people. We wish this old man eternal revolutionary youth, and also wish the Huaxi flag he raised with his own hands will fly high forever...
