Henan's economic development hits a new high; civilized towns foster new trends, and village appearances become neat and take on a new look
(Agricultural Wealth Network)    Recently, at the new rural cultural square in Daqiao Township, Weishi County, more than 10 elderly people were leisurely exercising on fitness equipment, while some children were playing table tennis and others were skating freely in roller skates. This is a scene of farmers' happy life in the township's new rural construction. "The township's new rural construction work is in full swing in accordance with the general requirements of the 'twenty-character' guideline, and good results have been achieved so far: farmers' incomes have increased, the rural environment has improved, and farmers' happiness index is getting higher and higher," township Party secretary Kang Qingfeng told reporters. 

Economic development hits a new high. In the new rural construction, the township has always made vigorously developing rural leading industries a top priority. Proceeding from the layout of the township's private economy development, the township planned and demonstrated several key industrial belts, including the cotton processing industry centered on Fengcun and other places, the rubber industry centered on Feida Rubber and other places, and the vegetable oil processing industry centered on Guangda Oils and other places, and gave full play to the demonstration and driving role of these leading backbone enterprises, continuously expanding the scale of investment attraction and improving project quality, achieving new breakthroughs in introducing large projects, high-tech industrial projects, and industrial cluster projects. In the first 9 months of this year, Daqiao Township achieved a total industrial output value of 4.28 billion yuan, completed 360 million yuan in investment attraction, saw revenue from national and local taxes exceed 22 million yuan, and completed general budget revenue of 14.68 million yuan. At the same time, the township unremittingly advanced the adjustment of the agricultural industrial structure and built a pig breeding base centered on Yaojing, Dalizhuang, Hewanyao, and Mairendian. The township also successively built a high-quality miscellaneous fruit planting base centered on Shilipu and Zhouzhuang, and a vegetable planting base centered on Mazhuang and Laoyaliu. The completion of these production bases has effectively promoted the rapid economic development of Daqiao Township, increasing farmers' incomes by an average of 1,200 to 1,500 yuan per year. In the first 9 months of this year, the township achieved a total agricultural output value of 330 million yuan. 

Civilized towns foster new trends. Since last year, the township has invested a total of 1.2 million yuan to strengthen the development of positions at the township and village levels, built 11 cultural compounds and 22 villagers' cultural activity rooms, and encouraged the masses to actively carry out various forms of cultural and artistic activities. More than 10 farmers' art troupes have been organized across the township, and various artistic competitions are held during festivals, enlivening rural cultural life and promoting the improvement of rural spiritual civilization. Last year, Xisu Village built a new rural cultural square with an investment of more than 3 million yuan, first-class in the province. At the same time, the township adopted the methods of inviting in and going out, repeatedly inviting people who became rich first from Shandong and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region to give special reports in the township, and also repeatedly organized Party members and cadres to visit and study in these economically developed places, broadening their horizons, changing their concepts, and enhancing their enthusiasm and initiative to become rich themselves and lead the masses to become rich. In the process of implementing the Party member demonstration project, through its efforts, the township coordinated more than 5 million yuan in small agricultural support loans for the masses. Under the leadership of a large number of Party member wealth-leading pacesetters, they led the masses in building three planting bases and two breeding bases. 

Village appearances become neat and take on a new look. Since March 2008, the township has increased investment of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and vigorously advanced the concentrated improvement of village appearances. The township and village levels invested a total of 3.56 million yuan, cleared 51,000 cubic meters of garbage, cleaned 380 kilometers of streets, and planted more than 30,000 greening trees. The township successively held on-site meetings in 6 villages including Xisu and Yaojing, using points to drive areas and encouraging one another, setting off one upsurge after another in village appearance improvement. The township transferred 68 government cadres into villages for guidance, eating and staying in the villages, which drove the enthusiasm of farmers across the township for new rural construction. Previously, villagers in Dalizhuang Village of the township often piled straw on the streets and dumped garbage and composted manure at their doorsteps. Although the streets were wide, they were dirty and messy. After the new rural construction work was carried out, the village's street appearance took on a completely new look, and the living environment was greatly improved. The villagers were all smiling broadly. Villager Li Quanxing said happily, "We are living the life of city people!"
