　　Xi ‘ an, Shaanxi

　　Old craftsmanship becomes a "fragrant cake"

　　Reporter Feng Jiang

　　Xi ‘an, Qujiang Book City, the third floor experience area. "Grandpa Li, how to make Barbie’s necklace?" Xiaoyun is a little puzzled. "Face-to-face Li" took out the grate. "It’s such a grate." "Wow", Xiaoyun clapped her hands and her eyes were full of admiration for "king of the children".

　　This situation, put aside in the past, is unimaginable for Li Yuankai. When he was over 70 years old, he learned the craft of kneading dough when he was a child. "In addition to farming, he can also rely on this to subsidize his family." In the 1980s, he came to Xi ‘an from his hometown. Carrying a noodle box, Li Yuankai suffered a lot from the wind and rain. "I have set up stalls in Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Furong Garden and Qujiang Pool." Especially during the Chinese New Year, the sales of dough figurines are particularly good. "I earn a lot, but it is also very hard. In winter, my hands are often frozen."

　　Change is happening. In recent years, the local government has paid more and more attention to traditional culture, and people have seen the transformation of the ancient capital Xi’ an.

　　Three years ago, Qujiang Bookstore opened, and it became the "punching place in online celebrity". In the cultural experience area of Book City, Li Yuankai has a fixed studio. The mode of operation has also changed from simply selling noodles in the past to an experiential economy for the public, especially children. Pinched dough figurines have also changed from the past "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Liu Guanzhang" to the current popular cartoon image, and the intangible skills that are on the verge of being lost have been integrated into life and gained new life here.

　　From "setting up a stall" to teaching at the door, "now, my son and daughter-in-law are all working here, and at most dozens of children come to learn and experience". Li Yuankai said that because of the prosperity, their family had to work overtime every day during the Chinese New Year. "Many folk artists and friends who do shadow play and paper-cutting around also said that the more busy they are during the Spring Festival these years."

　　Parents have changed. Xiao Yunduo’s mother, Ms. Wei, told reporters that more and more parents and friends around her chose to take their children to bookstores and museums and experience traditional folk skills for the New Year. This year’s Spring Festival, Xiaoyun plans to pinch a few more noodles and give them to teachers and classmates when school starts. "The face she pinched herself is especially cherished!" Ms. Wei said.

　　Shangrao in Jiangxi

　　It is sweet to raise Chinese bees.

　　Reporter chenglong

　　"Master Yao, are you ready to keep warm in winter?" Zheng Heng Zai, stationmaster of agricultural technology extension station in Wufushan Town, Guangxin District, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, stood on the ridge of the field and shouted to Yao Shengyou, who was busy beside the beehive.

　　As the Spring Festival approaches, this remote mountain town at the northern foot of Wuyi Mountain is green and lush, with more than 16,000 groups of Chinese bees dotted around it — — This is a "green cash machine" for hundreds of local beekeepers. "Well, it’s sunny, I’ll bask in it." Yao Sheng, who is in his early 50 s, achieved a net income of more than 100,000 yuan by relying on more than 150 boxes of bees last year.

　　In the early years, Yao Sheng made a living by farming and cutting down bamboo, and his income was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. In addition, his wife was in poor health. In 2014, he became a poor household with a file. In the first half of 2016, bees were distributed free of charge in the town, and Yao Sheng started beekeeping with the help of the government. "When I encounter technical problems, I ask stationmaster Zheng." Yao Shengyou often rides a motorcycle to Zheng Heng Zai’s office in the town, and stays for most of the day. Zheng Heng joked, "Why don’t you move a desk and come here to work with me?"

　　To Zheng Heng’s delight, Yao Sheng’s honey won the silver prize in the "bee honey contest in the whole province" last year. Speaking of which, Yao Sheng is all smiles. In October last year, accompanied by Zheng Heng Zai, he went to the provincial capital Nanchang to receive the award.

　　"My heart is as sweet as honey when I get rid of poverty, and I will expand production this year, hoping to double it." Now Yao Shengyou is already "honey is sweet and not afraid of distant mountains". "My honey has not been cut out yet, and many people have come to book it, all of them are old customers." My life is sweet, and I don’t forget to bring people around me to work together. "Several neighbors are learning beekeeping from me. When stationmaster Zheng is retiring, I will teach them the skills I have learned."

　　"In 2019, the town produced nearly 200 tons of honey, with an output value of more than 50 million. The incidence of poverty in the town dropped to 0.58%. In the future, we will let more villagers live a good life by relying on the good mountains and waters at their doorstep. " Han Feng, secretary of the town party committee, said.

　　Reporter Lu Zhongzheng

　　On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of eastern Henan is getting stronger and stronger. Students have a holiday, and migrant workers return home. The cultural square of Jinzhuang Administrative Village in Qiuqu Township, dancheng City, Henan Province is suddenly lively, and the annual "one meeting and four evaluations" commendation meeting is under way. Accompanied by a chorus of returning youth "On the Field of Hope", 16 villagers wore ribbons of "Filial Piety for the Old and Love for the Family", "Getting Rich from Poverty", "Honest and Law-abiding Household" and "Clean and Sanitary Household", holding awards and smiling. They became the most dazzling "stars" in the village this Spring Festival.

　　Hao Meijuan, a villager, is a "filial piety and love for parents" in Jinzhuang Village. This year, she took her 70-year-old parents-in-law to her newly built building. These days, her son and daughter-in-law also took their granddaughters home for the New Year, and the whole family was happy and happy.

　　It is understood that dancheng has carried out a "one meeting and four evaluations" activity throughout the county, and every village holds a villagers’ congress every year to select "filial piety and loving relatives" and "getting rid of poverty and becoming rich" and publicize them throughout the county. "In the past three years, 523 village-level organizations in the county have carried out ‘ Four comments for a while ’ In 1569 games, many models around me became stars and role models in the village. " Wu Qingfeng, director of the Propaganda Department of Yucheng County Committee, said.

　　In Zhudalou Village, Qiuqu Township, the newly-built village cultural square was filled with applause and excitement, and the dancheng Falling Troupe sent the opera to the countryside, which was very popular. Speaking of the changes in the village, Gao Weidong, secretary of the Party branch of Zhudalou Village, said that the village atmosphere is better now, and there are fewer villagers gathering wine fields and poker fields, and more people go to the Cultural Square for square dance and exercise and fitness.

　　According to Zhang Xiangjin, chairman of dancheng Federation of Literary and Art Circles who organized culture to go to the countryside, in 2019, the county organized 3,873 cultural activities such as square dance competition, farmers’ harvest festival, drama and movies entering the countryside; This year, from the beginning of Laba to the fifteenth day of the first month, various activities are arranged to the brim.

　　Hunan Anhua

　　Xiutong Zhifu Road in the village

　　Reporter Wang Yunna

　　Wangjiaping Village, the reporter’s hometown, was once a poor village in Anhua County, Hunan Province, with a remote location and a small population. On the eve of off-year, the reporter drove back to the village. I just got off the highway and went to the village head, where I caught a glimpse of my cousin Wang Huakai’s "Yueke" shop.

　　"Come back!" Brother Hua arranged for me to go into the house to warm myself. There are people coming and going in the shop, and Brother Hua is too busy to touch the ground. "earn a lot!" "80,000 a year!" Brother Hua is full of joy.

　　In front of me, Hua Ge was so confident that I forgot that he was the "cowherd" who had suffered from leg disease. Hua Gexing II suffered from polio a few months after his birth, and has been accompanied by leg diseases ever since. Uncle’s meager income as a mason can’t afford three children to go to school. Brother Hua offered to drop out of school to support his family. At the age of 16, he became a "cowherd".

　　A few years ago, Murakami built the first cement road. Brother Hua thought: "You can deliver the goods with a tricycle and sell the fruits, vegetables, eggs and meat to more remote ravines." Some people question: Is it ok to have inconvenient legs and feet? Recognizing that he could do it, he borrowed 3,000 yuan to buy a small moped and became a "peddler".

　　From then on, he got up at 3 am every day, went to the vegetable market in the town to choose fresh dishes, and then rushed to the mountains. After buying and selling for a long time, the villagers found that he was honest and kind, and they loved looking for him in everything. With the hardening of village-level highways, it is more convenient to do business. In 2018, Ma ‘an Expressway was opened to traffic, and the village was boiling! Brother Hua decided to open a comprehensive store at the entrance of the village. He took out his savings and did it, and the "peddler" turned into a "shopkeeper". In the first half of last year, the highway connected the cement road in the village and reached the door. Brother Hua’s business was better. Now, Brother Hua has formed a family with a girl from a neighboring village, and has children, and the days are getting better and better.

　　Some people laugh at him for being stupid and don’t argue for poor households. Brother Hua said that people are diligent in making money, and why do they need help when they can rely on their hands? "In 2017, Wang Jiaping got rid of poverty and everyone benefited." My cousin told me, "The abandoned village is now a cultural and sports activity center, where everyone can play basketball, table tennis and watch performances. Our life is no worse than that of city people! "

　　Mudanjiang in Heilongjiang province

　　Delicious new year’s goods are served on the table

　　Reporter Fiona Fang

　　The red king crab, the big dish fish head and the palm-sized scallop … … In Xi ‘an District, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, the street downstairs of the reporter’s hometown is very lively these days. Entering the first Russian commodity exhibition and the Xi ‘an Famous Commodities New Year Collection, more than 500 kinds of imported "Russian goods" such as aquatic products, agricultural products and handicrafts and domestic fine new year goods are dazzling. All kinds of Russian goods introduced through suifenhe city’s Sino-Russian Free Trade Zone are directly delivered to the public’s table from the port. People can’t help but rejoice: this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, a gourmet dinner is available!

　　The cold weather can’t stop people’s enthusiasm for purchasing new year’s goods. Before the booth, the reporter met Uncle Lu, who was born after 50. "This festival is well organized, and you can buy such a good festival at your doorstep. This time, I am going to add prawns and caviar to the menu of New Year’s Eve! " Uncle Lu said, "When I was a child, eating jiaozi was a Chinese New Year. Now the days are good. The New Year’s Eve dinner has changed from 6 dishes to 8 dishes, and it has become 12 dishes and 16 dishes."

　　Hanling is a post-70s generation, and she and her husband are both civil servants. Talking about new year’s goods, hanling said that the most impressive thing about Chinese New Year when I was a child was that I could drink drinks. "That’s not just a drink. There is a limit. Each person is divided into several bottles. Brothers and sisters hide drinks in order to prevent each other from stealing. Now it’s interesting to think about it. Nowadays, all kinds of new year’s goods have become daily commodities. The times are developing so fast. "

　　Mudanjiang City is a demonstration city of friendly cooperation between China and Russia. It has a unique advantage to hold a large collection of "Russian goods". "I have seen a lot of New Year goods and intend to buy them back to share with my family. I also gave some express delivery to my classmates from other places, so that they could have a taste. " Hanling said.

　　Chatting with the citizens is hot, and Zhang Haifeng, the mayor of Xi ‘an District, came along. He enthusiastically introduced to everyone that Mudanjiang City has successively built Suifenhe border area, mutual trade area, comprehensive insurance area, etc. The "six-zone linkage" has seized the peak season of Spring Festival consumption and promoted interactive exchange and linkage development. This year, everyone is sure to have a delicious Spring Festival.

　　Sichuan Yanbian

　　Living in a small building is full of energy

　　Reporter Lu Tao

　　On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the reporter returned to his hometown of Xuri Village, Yanbian County, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, beaming with joy and strong flavor. In a brand-new two-story building courtyard, there were bursts of laughter. Take a closer look, it turns out that Lang Fa’s good family is cooking new year’s dishes to entertain the villagers. "This year’s harvest is good, and I have earned money. I have to invite my neighbors to have a meal happily!" 44-year-old Lang Faliang smiled a little simple and honest.

　　Candy, drinks, Spring Festival couplets, snack packages … … There are all kinds of new year’s goods in the bright hall. Seeing the reporter’s curiosity about his new house, Lang Faliang said: "The first floor is the bedroom of the hall and the old mother, and the second floor has five rooms, one for my husband and wife, one for my son and daughter, and two for hospitality." The new house built brick by brick made him feel particularly proud.

　　This was not the case a few years ago.

　　"A family of five is squeezed into two earthen tile houses built 40 years ago, and they are always worried that the house will collapse." Lang Faliang’s wife Agger told reporters in Yi language. In 2014, Langfaliangjia was listed as a poverty-stricken household with a file. Soon, more than 4,000 yuan of industrial poverty alleviation funds came down.

　　Lang Faliang seized the opportunity, called Peng Daohua, who is also a poor household, bought green pepper seedlings and learned walnut grafting technology. With the help of the government, Langfa planted more than 200 green peppers and grafted 100 walnut trees. "These economic trees are the treasures of my family. This one alone helped me earn more than 20,000 yuan last year!"

　　The pockets are bulging, and Lang Faliang started to flip the new house. Lu Meng, the village party secretary, told him that the state provided a subsidy of 40,000 yuan for precise poverty alleviation targets to rebuild or renovate houses. Hearing this, Lang Faliang gritted his teeth and took out his savings, and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from relatives and friends, and a small building rose from the ground.

　　"There are more and more energetic people like Lang Faliang in the village." Lu Meng said with a smile. "The country is getting rid of poverty, so you can’t relax yourself!" Lang Faliang is full of expectations for the New Year. Recently, his family just installed WiFi. "I heard that I can sell agricultural special products online. I have to try it next year. Our green peppers and pecans, everyone must like them! "
