In April 2021, Mo Zhengzhong of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Bureau of Statistics was awarded the honorary title of "Advanced Individual in Poverty Alleviation in the Whole Region" by the Party Committee and government of the Autonomous Region.
Comrade Mo Zhengzhong was accidentally injured in December 2020 in the provincial cross-examination and inspection work to meet the national poverty alleviation effectiveness, resulting in a macular crack in the left eye, and after several surgical treatments from January to March 2021, the corrected vision of the left eye was less than 0.01, and almost only one eye could be used.
"Secretary Mo, go into the house and sit down!" We haven't had a drink together in a long time, so be sure to have a drink today. Try my family's banana wine, how it tastes. Mo Zhengzhong, the first secretary of Banqing Village, led the author to visit the peasant households, and when he was ready to return, he was pulled by the villager Lao Qin and was not allowed to leave. In the end, the author and his party had to stay and have dinner with the villagers, and returned to the village department very late. Mo Zhengzhong is not good at words on weekdays, but he can mingle with the villagers, out of curiosity, the author asked why the villagers were so enthusiastic about him on the way back to the village department, like a family. Under questioning, Mo Zhengzhong talked about his bits and pieces on the road to poverty alleviation in the past three years. Listening to his slow narration, one scene after another appeared in front of him like a movie...
Firm belief, "The road depends on ourselves to come out"
On March 15, 2018, Mo Zhengzhong was sent to Banqing Village, Xia'ao Town, Du'an County, Hechi City, as the first secretary of the village. The first time he drove into the village that day, Baidu Map could not correctly navigate to the destination. It is less than 300 kilometers from his home to the village, but it is a short distance, and it takes more than four hours to drive, and if you take a bus, you need to make four transfers, which takes more than six hours. In order to facilitate his work, in the second month of staying in the village, his family bought him a new car. In just three years, the new car has become a scarred old car. Because the village where Mozheng is stationed is more than ten kilometers away from the town, the whole process is a mountain road with nine curves and eighteen bends, and the longest straight road is less than 20 meters. The village's 14 villages are scattered in a continuous mountain range, from one village to another, taking from one village to another, taking anywhere from one hour to three hours. For three years he had been shuttling back and forth in this mountain.
Villager Lao Wei said, "In the past three years, Secretary Mo has always been consistent in his words and deeds, bowing down to find ideas and ways for us to get rid of poverty and get rich." We all know that he really came to help us, and we also treated him like our own baby, hoping that he could help us do more things, but also hurting that he was too hard and tired, but more than that, we were grateful to him. Old Wei remembered that when he first came to the meeting, he held the first meeting in the village, and when discussing with them how to carry out his work, he pointed to the continuous mountain range and said, "I am also from the countryside, I grew up in the mountains, and the mountains where we are are are similar to here, and I am well aware of the poverty of the people in the mountains." If we want to get out of poverty, we have to work hard, and the road depends on ourselves. These few words still make him remember them vividly. The director of the village committee told this writer that in just over a month, Mo Zhengzhong traveled to 14 villages in the village and visited all the village captains and most of the villagers.
Resolutely implementing, the blueprint of the three-year development plan is not a dream
After many visits and investigations, Mo Zhengzhong formulated a three-year development plan for the entire village of Banqing Village to overcome poverty, and grasped a blueprint to the end. To this end, he submitted more than a dozen research reports and report materials to the support units and relevant departments. In the past three years, Mo Zhengzhong has planned the blueprint, planned the layout of industrial development, developed the oil tea planting industry, silkworm industry, forest economy, aquaculture industry, beekeeping industry and other industries, and gradually formed a "long-medium-short" cycle industry full coverage, to achieve the diversified development pattern of Banqing Village industry.
In 2018, after thorough investigation, he learned that There are 14 villages in Banqing Village, where there are more than 1,800 people, with an arable land area of only 669 mu, less than 0.4 mu per capita, while the mountainous area is 32,000 mu, planting about 30,000 mu of fir forest, and the per capita fir forest is more than 16 mu. In the face of this situation, he focused on how to increase the income of villagers' fir trees and create a characteristic industrial development in Banqing Village. The first step is to set up a fir planting cooperative, so that the leader of getting rich can guide the villagers in fir planting technology and communicate and coordinate the sale of fir trees. Then, a wood processing plant was built and the planks were processed for the first time, turning the branches of trees that were usually discarded by the villagers on the top of the hill into treasure. It not only increases the employment opportunities of villagers, but also increases the economic income of villagers, but also generates income for the village collective, and spends 500,000 yuan of special funds for the collective economic development of the village on key points to play the greatest role. He also actively contacted nursery suppliers to provide villagers with excellent varieties of fir seedlings. Ways were made to secure funds for the construction of industrial roads between forests. In the past three years, he has helped the village to win funds to build 11 industrial roads, which has greatly improved the transportation conditions for villagers to cut wood, reduced the transportation cost of villagers to cut wood, and increased the villagers' timber income.
In 2019, seeing that the enthusiasm of the villagers came up after the development of the characteristic industry, Mo Zhengzhong hit the iron while it was hot, repeatedly submitted a planning report on the development of mulberry silkworm breeding to relevant leaders and departments, often got off the team to mobilize and publicize the policy of planting mulberry silkworms "with awards instead of supplementing" to benefit farmers, invited mulberry silkworm experts to the village to teach classes, and mobilized the masses to actively participate in the cultivation of mulberry silkworms. With his mobilization and help, the village built a demonstration base for planting mulberry silkworms in Banqing Village, developed more than 100 acres of mulberry seedling gardens, and vigorously developed a silkworm industry with little production investment, fast results and low labor intensity.
In 2020, after the normal operation of the banqing village mulberry silkworm demonstration base and the development of the mulberry silkworm industry entered the right track, he submitted the "Feasibility Report of the Under-forest Economic Development Project in Banqing Village", "The Implementation Plan of the Comprehensive Planting and Breeding Demonstration Base Project under the Forest in Banqing Village" and the "Plan for the Economic Development Project under the Forest in Banqing Village in 2020" to the relevant departments, planning the next step of industrial revitalization for Banqing Village. Under his efforts, the banqing village under the forest economic development project has been implemented, the forest comprehensive breeding demonstration base as scheduled construction, the entire base project has been completed and put into production, the development of under the forest chicken, under the forest duck and other forest economic industries. In May of the same year, he introduced Du'an Shenyao Bee Industry Co., Ltd. into the village to invest and develop, used the first secretary's funds to cooperate with the company to build a bee farm, implement the "company + cooperative" development model, and develop the sweet cause of beekeeping. In June, he introduced Guangxi Yangxiang Co., Ltd. and other national leading enterprises to the village to develop pig breeding industry, and invited the vice chairman of the company to lead a team of experts to Banqing Village to investigate and jointly study the site selection of the breeding base and other related matters. Through the planning of pig breeding demonstration bases, the implementation of the "company + cooperative + farmer" operation model, the development of sustainable poverty alleviation industry for Banqing Village, boost the construction of rural revitalization.
In just three years, the collective economic income of Banqing Village has increased from 20,000 yuan at the end of 2017 to 150,000 yuan in 2020.
Mo Zhengzhong not only vigorously develops industry, but also pays attention to strengthening the construction of village infrastructure. In three years, he completed the renovation of dangerous houses in the whole village, the maintenance of centralized water supply cabinets in various villages, the construction of Naji culverts, and the construction of roads and bridges, which solved the long-standing problem of villagers who had been flooded by water on the mountain due to the rainy season, which flowed directly from the road surface, causing the road to be flooded and impassable. He also built a village-level road protection fence to solve the problem of hidden dangers in villagers' travel safety; implemented the construction of the village tun broadband network, changing the phenomenon that the village tun has no broadband network coverage; completed the transformer transformation project, which met the people's daily electricity demand and solved the villagers' electricity safety problem; installed solar street lights and equipped with outdoor sports equipment, which facilitated the villagers to carry out cultural and recreational activities and strengthened the villagers' spiritual and cultural construction.
Sincerely help the poor, give people and rose hands to leave a lingering fragrance
Grinding Zhengzhong's personal efforts, sincerely for the people, so that the whole village will never forget, praise. When entering the household in The Lower Jia Village of Banqing Village, the author saw that the 80-year-old Lu Zhongru had been excitedly holding the hand in the middle of the mill. Originally, in April 2020, Elder Lu was hospitalized for surgery due to illness, during which Secretary Mo not only helped with the formalities, settlement and reimbursement of medical expenses, etc., but also sent 1,000 yuan of condolence money in his personal name.
When entering the household in Zhongqing Village, the poor household Meng Jianye also told the author about a past event. In June 2018, Meng Jianye's lover suddenly fell seriously ill and spent money everywhere to seek medical treatment and did not get better. After Mo Zhengzhong came to visit his home to learn about the situation, he helped to prepare more than 50,000 yuan in time for the operation fee, and also helped contact the experts of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, personally drove the patient to Nanning for treatment, and incidentally helped solve a series of things such as hospitalization. Talking about this matter, Lao Meng was full of emotion: "If there is no help from Secretary Mo, my wife's illness does not know how long it will drag on!" Now his condition is getting better and our family is very grateful to him! ”
In the interview, the story of an old grandmother made the author feel a lot. The grandmother lived next to the village committee, was first-degree disabled, born blind, but her hearing was particularly sensitive. Every time she heard a car stop, she would open the door and walk out, shouting, "Is the secretary back?" It wasn't until she heard Mill's response that she went back to the house. She said she couldn't hear the stop now and couldn't sleep. A seemingly bland and daily greeting, but it shows the sincere efforts of grinding in the middle of the three years of intensive cultivation to take root in the grassroots.
When the author asked Mo Zhengzhong what was the biggest impression of poverty alleviation in the past three years, he said lightly: "In the past three years, I have done some practical things for the village. The villagers are grateful to me, and I am grateful to them, who have enriched meself, continued to grow, and have a deeper understanding and cognition of adhering to my original mission. ”
