"Our village is very harmonious, the villagers have a strong sense of gain, with the implementation of the Xie Jing'an Chuanhua Agricultural Innovation Village project, the public welfare atmosphere is stronger, and it can also bring us industry and technology. ”
As the party secretary rooted in the front line of the village, Xie Zhoujun has a clear understanding of the appearance of the villagers and the development of the countryside.
"We should be good at exploring opportunities, strengthen communication and interaction with external resources, help Xiejia Village develop characteristic industries, drive the employment of villagers, and jointly promote rural revitalization. ”

"Comeback", inherit history and culture, and enhance rural cohesion
Xiejia Village is located in Puyang Town, the southernmost part of Xiaoshan, and is the largest natural village in Puyang Town.
As a native of Xiejia Village, Xie Zhoujun and the villagers share a common love and thirst for development in this land - in Xiejia Village, 80% of the villagers have the surname Xie. The Xie clan originated from the Xie clan in Shangyu Dongshan, which has a history of 1,000 years, and the village is also named after the Xie clan.
In Xiejia Village, there is the Xie family ancestral hall "Baoshu Hall", which was built in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The ancestors of the Xie family include Xie An, a famous politician who became famous in the battle of "The Battle of Weishui", and Xie Lingyun, the founder of Chinese landscape poetry and outstanding writers, Xie Lingyun and Xie Hao.
"In the history of the Xie family, there have been three prime ministers, two queens, and more than 100 literati, jinshi, and generals. Xie Zhoujun proudly introduced. In Xiejia Village, the clan cultural atmosphere can be seen everywhere, the origin of Baoshutang, the Xie family's famous sages, and the Xie family motto all demonstrate the rich historical and cultural heritage of the people of Xiejia Village.
"Clan culture is an important force for the villagers of Xiejia Village to twist into a rope", Xie Zhoujun talked about the historical allusion of the ancestor Xie An - the four words "Dongshan Comeback" were erected on the big stone tablet at the entrance of the Xie family ancestral hall. This seems to be a portrayal of the common spiritual belief of Xie Zhoujun and the villagers of Xiejia Village: anchoring the goal of strengthening the village and enriching the people, it is an important task to stimulate the collective economic potential of the village and drive the villagers to increase production and income.
With the landing of Xie Jing'an Chuanhua Agricultural Innovation Village, a road to the rejuvenation of Xiejia Village around the rural revitalization strategy was paved in front of Xie Zhoujun and the villagers.
"Industrial development is the first priority!" Xie Zhoujun emphasized.

Practical work is the key to promote the transformation and upgrading of the village collective economy
"In 2023, the collective income of Xiejia Village will be about 3.5 million yuan, mainly from collective land management, investment and government subsidies. Xie Zhoujun introduced.
Since April 2017, Xie Zhoujun has served as the party secretary of Xiejia Village. In order to develop the village collective economy, he led the Xiejia Village Committee to boldly integrate the existing land resources, make full use of the idle industrial land of the original brick and tile factory plot, and take the village collective as the main body, and invest in the development and construction of construction land through village-level self-raising, pre-collected rent and bank credit.
"The village has built a 12,000-square-meter factory for rent, which is currently in the acceptance stage, and is expected to earn more than 1.8 million yuan per year in the future. This year, we also plan to build an office building in front of the factory, about 4,000 square meters, and it is expected to have an annual income of 400,000 yuan, and the lease income will be owned by the village collective. ”
"The overall completion will be about 40 million, and a loan of about 20 million will be needed. In the next few years, there will still be a lot of burden on the village collective economy. In the face of the development situation of the transformation and upgrading of Xiejia Village, Xie Zhoujun frankly expressed the pressure in his heart.
The Xinxiang Sage Association has become an indispensable part of Xie Zhoujun's excavation of the "common wealth treasure tree" of rural development. In April 2023, the Xiejiacun Xinxiangxian Association was officially established.
"The preparation for the construction of the plant needs to start leasing at the same time, and the plant needs to be planned according to the industry. We tried to cast a wide net of leasing information, but in the past two years we have had little success. Later, I still found the industrial demand from the village sages. ”
Xie Zhoujun revealed that the plant will land on the hardware industry, "for the villagers, there is a connection to the village, and there is also the actual demand of the industry, which is just an opportunity for the development of the countryside." ”

Excavate resources and work together to help rural revitalization
"The role of the Xinxiang Sage Association is not only in industrial planning, but also in rural public welfare. Xie Zhoujun said that in terms of public welfare, the Xiejia Village Xinxiang Sage Association has achieved certain results, such as rewarding outstanding students and taking care of the elderly.
"Making genealogies and repairing ancestral halls are all led by village sages, which drives the villagers to donate. He introduced that in Xiejia Village, there is a tradition of "Xiejia Village Outstanding Student List", and there are different generous rewards for the children of the Xie family who are admitted to undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students, and the elderly over 80 years old can receive a subsidy of 240 yuan per person per year.
In addition to the Xinxiang Sage Association, the charity empowerment brought by Transfar Charity is also infiltrating the villagers of Xiejia Village little by little, and Transfar Charity Power has successively carried out public welfare summer camps and Chung Yeung Festival activities, and the recent Transfar Charity Greenhouse project has also landed. Xie Zhoujun said.
"After the industry grows, all kinds of public facilities and public welfare projects can keep up. Among his expectations, there are also some public problems that need to be found urgently, "such as the lack of space in the village." The space of the old community is small, the width of the road is only 2.5 meters when it was originally planned, and only 1 meter between the two households, which is very cramped. Xie Zhoujun revealed that this is a difficult problem faced by the spatial planning of Xiejia Village.
"This requires government policy and financial support, overall planning and design, and at the same time, it needs to take into account the wishes of the villagers and gradually move forward. We hope that with the help of the construction of Xie Jing'an Chuanhua Agricultural Innovation Village, we will further improve on the basis of 'beautiful village', give villagers a higher quality of rural life, and give them more sense of gain and happiness." ”
In addition to spatial planning, Xie Zhoujun also has some preliminary ideas on the utilization of characteristic resources in Xiejia Village: "There is a silkworm mountain in the village, and we are already planning to build a walking trail, and there is an idle air-raid shelter nearby. He introduced that the air-raid shelter is said to have been excavated in the peasant uprising at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the internal forks are staggered and the space is large, which can allow a truck to pass normally and be a pure natural air-conditioned room for the summer to cool off the heat. "How to maximize the revitalization of these idle land, cave resources and collective land, we need to plan well in advance and develop supporting industries such as local characteristic industries and rural tourism. ”
"After the implementation of the Xie Jing'an Chuanhua Agricultural Innovation Village project, the villagers will receive rental income, and the young and idle labor force is expected to get new employment opportunities. In Xie Zhoujun's mind, the most desired is the industry and technology of Transfar, "I hope that in the future, Xiejia Village can develop into a modern village with thriving industry, beautiful environment, rich villagers and developed public welfare." This requires the participation of the government, enterprises, villagers and non-profit organizations to jointly promote development. ”
