"Welcome to the Monkey Field Conference Memorial. Before the Zunyi Conference, an important meeting praised by Premier Zhou Enlai as 'the eve of the great turning point' was held here...... "It was the height of summer, and the Monkey Field Conference Memorial Hall located in Xiasi Community, Monkey Farm Town, Weng'an County, was full of research teams.
From December 31, 1934 to the early morning of the next day, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an enlarged meeting, known as the "Monkey Field Conference", in a private house in Songjiawan, Monkey Farm Town. This meeting paved the way for the successful convening of the Zunyi Conference. Today's Monkey Farm Town, next to the Caotang Millennium Ancient Yi District, the Monkey Farm Conference Memorial Hall, Mao Zedong's residence, the former site of the Red Army Cadre Corps Recuperation Company and other red ruins are dotted, telling the eventful years of the past.
Zhou Wei, who is explaining the history of the red to tourists Zhou Wei, director of the management office of the Monkey Farm Conference Site (Leng Shaonong's former residence), has worked here for 11 years. He was originally a chemistry teacher, but because of his excellent commentary talent, he became a commentator. Since then, he has spread the story of the revolution in this red land. "For tourists of different ages and cultural backgrounds, we have optimized the way of explanation, so that every visitor can feel this red history more deeply." Zhou Wei said. After 2021, more and more tourists and groups come to visit the memorial hall to learn about the red story and related historical knowledge. It is understood that in the first half of this year alone, the Monkey Farm conference site received more than 46,000 tourists, including 37,810 tourists from within the province, 5,529 tourists from outside the province, and a total of 351 teams. Among the visitors to the Monkey Field Conference Memorial Hall are the descendants of our ancestors. "In March 2019, after visiting the Memorial Hall of the Monkey Field Conference, Geng Yan, the daughter of Comrade Geng Biao, came to the Wujiang River, walked to the place where her father Geng Biao commanded the Red Army to forcibly cross the Wujiang River at that time, and took it away with a bottle of river water to remember her ancestors." Zhou Wei told reporters. There are many such stories, and future generations have never forgotten the Long March road that our ancestors walked, and the spirit of the Long March will be passed on from generation to generation.
The subordinate community continues the red blood and continues to write the chapter of the times. In 2021, Xiasi Community was included in the pilot list for the construction of red beautiful villages, and the spirit of the Long March has been newly interpreted and inherited here. "In the process of building a red beautiful village, the party members and the masses were mobilized to actively participate in village planning, project construction and project supervision, invested 23.8214 million yuan in construction funds, and implemented 25 projects." Zeng Hongdan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Xiashi Community, told reporters. The construction of the red beautiful village has greatly changed the infrastructure of the Xiashi community, and the party and mass service center has taken on a new look, which is not only a place for villagers to handle daily affairs, but also a warm home for neighborhood exchanges, learning and upgrading. By building a "1+3+N" grassroots governance system under the leadership of party building, Xiashi community plays the role of a "five-person governance group", forms an "iron triangle" organizational structure composed of grassroots party groups, grid members, and joint household heads, and builds a strict and efficient service management network to ensure that every household can feel the warmth of the party and the care of the community. At the same time, the Xiashi community also fully excavates the integrated development model of "red resources + traditional culture" to awaken the sleeping local memory. The thatched tune is tactful and melodious, the tea mountain tune is crisp and pleasant, the lamp clip play is wonderful, and the dragon and lion paper are ingenious...... Let intangible cultural heritage exude new charm. Zeng Hongdan said: "We not only want to make the Xiashi community beautiful, but also make the community residents rich!" Relying on the development model of "red resources + rural tourism", the Xiashi community uses the existing red resources to plan red rural tourism routes and drive the development of the tourism industry. After the completion of the construction of the Red Beautiful Village project in April 2022, the Monkey Field Conference Memorial Hall received a total of 152,000 visitors, and was awarded the titles of "Rural Tourism Village in Guizhou Province" and "Rural Revitalization Practice Teaching Base in Guizhou Province". In this red hot land, the party flag is red, the culture is prosperous, the countryside is good, the industry is strong, the people are rich, and a new picture of harmonious and beautiful rural revitalization is slowly unfolding.
