Jilin Village Has a Good Party Branch
(Agricultural Wealth Network) In recent years, Xianguang Village in Sanyuanpu Town, Liuhe County, has undergone tremendous changes. Neat cement roads wind to every corner of the village; rows of tidy brick-and-tile houses look especially beautiful nestled among the greenery; flowers, grass and trees along the roadside in front of the houses vie in splendor and shade the ground; happy elderly people walk briskly playing gateball on the spacious square or take part in various cultural and sports activities in the activity rooms... The once dilapidated small village has become a new countryside with a modern flavor, developing from a "shell" village more than 80,000 yuan in debt to an economically prosperous village with more than 100,000 yuan coming in every year. The per capita income of the villagers has also risen from less than 2,000 yuan to the current 12,000 yuan, all undertakings have achieved substantial development, and the people's standard of living has improved markedly. Over the years, the village has successively won many honors, including advanced Party branch at the three levels of city, county and town, demonstration village for the "Clean and Civilized Project," and advanced village in spiritual civilization development. These achievements are due to the village having a good Party branch.
Xianguang Village has a total of 300 households and a population of 998. If it relied only on farming, it would be impossible to achieve prosperity. When the village Party branch saw the opportunity presented by processing and selling flavored pickles and the relatively high income from working in Japan and South Korea, it actively provided labor service information to the villagers, helped arrange relevant skills training, handled passports and financial guarantees for them, promptly issued marriage and childbirth certificates, and built an active, relaxed and convenient service platform for those leaving the land to go to the city or abroad. With the full support of the village Party branch leadership team, the village has cumulatively sent out more than 2,000 person-times of labor service personnel, with income reaching more than 60 million yuan. This year, the number of people from the village going abroad reached 291, and the number of domestic migrant workers reached 415, accounting for 71% of the total population, with labor service income alone reaching more than 26 million yuan.
71% of the farmers in Xianguang Village have left the land, leaving the land relatively surplus and promoting intensive land management. The village Party branch leadership team contracted out the surplus land in a centralized way, ensuring stable grain production. However, the remaining 29% of farmers are basically vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, and it is indeed difficult for them to manage 2,851 mu of land. Therefore, the Xianguang Village Party branch decided to raise funds to purchase a complete set of large agricultural machinery worth 3 million yuan. It is expected that next year, Xianguang Village will be the first in Sanyuanpu Town to achieve agricultural mechanization.
The village Party branch has always put the voices of the masses first. With the development of the labor service economy, the elderly left behind at home live lonely and unattended lives, and their children working away from home cannot work with peace of mind. In response to this phenomenon, the village established middle-aged and elderly associations, and successively invested more than 30,000 yuan to build for the associations one activity room each for middle-aged and elderly people of more than 200 sq m, 1 billiards room, 2 gateball courts of 1,000 sq m, and a cultural square of 1,000 sq m. Every year, it also subscribed to newspapers and magazines such as "Elderly Daily" and "Sunset Red" for the elderly in the associations. It also allocated 30 mu of dry farmland from the village collective land free of charge to the elderly associations to operate, solving the associations' activity funding. Now, the elderly organize themselves every day for various recreational activities, and the elderly associations have truly become a paradise for the elderly. At the same time, the village Party branch invested 60,000 yuan to thoroughly repair the village office and established a "Party Member Home," equipped with aluminum alloy bookcases, high-grade conference tables and chairs, computers, typewriters and copiers, televisions and audio equipment. Through a series of elderly activities and Party member activities, the villagers of Xianguang Village do not follow religions or gamble, and their spiritual thinking has been elevated.
Developing and strengthening the village collective economic strength is the material foundation for strengthening service to the masses and an important guarantee for enhancing the cohesion and combat effectiveness of village-level organizations. The Xianguang Village Party branch used its own advantages to subcontract and revitalize the already bankrupt brick factory, brought Minpeng Wood Industry to settle in the village, and through investment promotion introduced into the village a large Hongyuan breeding household with an investment of 500,000 yuan, a large shiitake mushroom cultivation household with an investment of 800,000 yuan, as well as large cattle-raising, chicken-raising and pig-raising households. Through their internal tapping and external attraction, Xianguang Village not only paid off all its external debts, but since 2001 has also had more than 100,000 yuan in income coming in every year. Having become prosperous, Xianguang Village began to strengthen infrastructure construction, successively investing 290,000 yuan to repair the village's tap water tower, build 3.32 km of cement roads connecting every household, harden 2,000 linear meters of side ditches, install streetlights, and build two new permanent barrage dams.
