Play a game of pitching pots in the farmhouse called "Eat in the Autumn Rain", complete a 30-second rope skipping challenge, write a corresponding pastoral poem according to the card prompts in the "Village History Museum", and you may win a sheep, a goose or a peach as a prize after the competition...... What kind of competition is this? Country Fun Games! On June 30, the 2024 Henan Provincial Community Games Xinyang Division Pingqiao District Station was held in Xinji Village, Minggang Town.

In addition to aerobics and dance performances, tug-of-war competitions and free national physical fitness monitoring and exercise prescription consulting services at the event site, and scientific fitness guidance through the placement of publicity pages, the village fun games also include a fun rural orienteering tour with full characteristics, and its group settings include both parent-child design of "family with children", as well as "in the mood for love" and "enjoy the countryside" set up by age, a total of 3 groups, each team of 3 people, attracting more than 200 people from the surrounding area to form a team to participate. The Fun Village Orienteering Tour requires the participating teams to work as a team, explore the beautiful countryside on foot without the help of any means of transportation, plan the route according to the instructions of the activity map to reach the corresponding check-in point, collect full points, and return to the finish line.

6-year-old Ji Zichen participated in the "Family with Children" group competition, and was a little nervous in the face of reporters, and finally completed the interview with the encouragement of his mother: "I think the competition is very interesting and interested, and I want to exercise myself by participating in the competition. ”

"Today's workout was well-rounded." Ji Zichen's mother joked with a smile.

Minggang Town is located at the junction of Xinyang, Nanyang and Zhumadian, known as "the famous town of the Central Plains" and "the pearl of Huaishang", and Xinji Village is a beautiful village that has won many honorary titles.

"The main purpose of holding interesting rural orienteering activities in Xinji Village, a beautiful village, is to use the countryside as a medium, play as the media, and use sports to empower and release the glimmer of sports, so that more communities and teenagers and children can go into the countryside, get close to nature, experience the fun of farming, and discover a beautiful countryside that is suitable for living, working and traveling." Wang Ya, Secretary of the Party Committee of Minggang Town, said.

Jiang Mingyang from Pingqiao District Foreign Chinese Middle School told reporters: "I have heard of Xinji Village, but I have never been here, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful and big, and I was separated from my teammates." I haven't heard of or played this program before, but I think it's very good, and I can play while exercising. ”

During the competition, there were not only "special forces-style contestants" who hurriedly shuttled between the check-in points, but also "tourist-style contestants" who stopped from time to time to enjoy the scenery, buildings, and characteristic courtyards along the way, and frequently took pictures.

In front of a landmark wall plastered with "the ancients called all things elegantly", Liu Shuang, a teacher at the No. 7 Primary School in Pingqiao District, who had just taken a photo and checked in, spoke happily and spoke as his name suggests: "I have a different feeling when I come to the new set, and I feel that this kind of event not only promotes our Pingqiao new set, but also strengthens team cohesion, which is particularly meaningful." I hope to carry out more activities like this to help our national fitness and promote our hometown. ”

Jia Zhanbo, director of the Henan Provincial National Fitness Center, said: "The main purpose of the Provincial Sports Bureau to hold the community games is to implement the people-centered development concept, to bring activities, organizations, guidance and services to the masses, the 2024 Henan Provincial Community Games plan to hold more than 400 stations throughout the year, covering all cities, counties and districts in the province, the provincial national fitness center as the overall unit of the games, will hold 50 provincial demonstration activities in 18 competition areas in the province, including 18 rural community games, The new episode is one of those stops.

In the coming stage, we will also deeply integrate with all sectors of society, integrate more projects, and carry out various forms of demonstrations, so that the community games will be closer to the needs of the masses. ”

Reporter's Notes

In that country voice, it was full of pride

□ reporter Huang Hui

Set off to cover the 2024 Henan Provincial Community Games Xinyang Division and Pingqiao District Station. Needless to say, the "familiar road" of years of interviews allows reporters to grasp the theme before setting off - sports empower rural revitalization. But the fascinating thing about live interviews is that you never know what's going to happen in the next second, and you may guess the beginning, but you don't necessarily guess the end; Perhaps, you won't even be able to guess the beginning.

After the game, the reporter wandered around the alleys and carefully looked at this beautiful village that had just been a lively stadium. In front of a tea house, the reporter was deeply attracted by an old photo entitled "The Old Look of the Tea House Before the Renovation" - the "old look" it recorded was so different from the "new look" in front of him that the reporter immediately thought: record everything that is full of contrasts, videos, necessary!

The camera begins with this photograph and slowly pans towards the gate; Then slowly step back so you can take a panoramic ...... At the moment when all the "new faces" of the gate entered the camera, a strong Xinyang accent came from behind him: "Shoot more, watch my new episode!" ”

Instantly infected by these proud words, the reporter said "um" again and again, and at the same time closed the camera and turned his head, only to see the figure of a rural woman walking away quickly.

How good is the new episode? According to the reporter's interview, this question should probably be answered like this: how bad the new episode used to be, how good it is now.

This is a once remote and backward village, where "garbage was blown by the wind and sewage was evaporated...... In recent years, with a series of construction achievements with the goal of "restoring the educational function of the countryside and leading the cultural revival and village rejuvenation", Xinji Village has become a well-known "star village", which not only has cultural facilities such as the left-behind children's school, the Humble Craftsman Academy, the library, the village history museum and the farming museum, but also has the peaceful atmosphere of the villagers' neighborly harmony and peace and contentment, and has been awarded the honorary titles of beautiful and livable village, rural environment improvement demonstration village, and national civilized village and town by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other departments. As a traditional Chinese village, the construction process of Xinji also has a "condensed" principle such as mantra: "four nos and three respects" - no cutting down trees, no pickpockets, no digging mountains, no filling ponds, respecting the rural texture, respecting the natural environment, and respecting the opinions of the masses. Xinji Village, which has no mountains, no water and no scenery, has become a national 3A-level tourist attraction and a 5A-level rural health tourism demonstration village in Henan Province.

Recalling this scene in front of the tea house, the reporter also regretted not catching up and asking a few more words, but he was soon relieved: I was fortunate to "meet" this sentence full of pride in the country voice, which was enough.
