A gentle breeze brushes over the Yi New Village in Huojuemo Community, Xide County, bringing a strong New Year's flavor. On February 4th, as the sky began to brighten, the village surrounded by green mountains became lively: the laughter and joy of children chasing and playing, the Yi language greetings of neighbors congratulating each other on the New Year, and the light and lively sound of buying New Year goods intertwined to form the prelude to the New Year. The vehicles of the Sichuan Military Region's village assistance team are driving on a wide and flat asphalt road. Looking around, the terraced fields on the hillside stretch out in layers, the Yi family's new buildings are arranged in a staggered manner, the green seedlings in the vegetable ridges are sprouting, and lanterns hang high at the entrance of the courtyard, creating a beautiful and livable rural landscape with a vibrant New Year's atmosphere. Huo Juemo "means" a place suitable for living "in Yi language. This relocation site for poverty alleviation, which was completed and moved in in 2019, is located in the eastern part of Xide County, with an average altitude of 2100 meters and a distance of 15 kilometers from the county seat. It is surrounded by green mountains and is a key assistance village for rural revitalization in the Sichuan Military Region. Upon learning that his relatives, the People's Liberation Army, were coming, 83 year old villager Ergulong's family waited at the doorstep early. Family members are here! Hurry up and take a seat in the house! "The old man recognized the cadre of the County People's Armed Forces Department at a glance. Talking about the current happy situation, the old man sighed and said, "I have slept in caves, lived in thatched cottages, and built mud brick houses in my early years. I never dreamed that I could live in a bright and magnificent small building in this life!" The hardships of the past are still vivid in my mind: 327 households in the village were once scattered in the deep mountains and valleys of 5.4 square kilometers, guarding thin fields and living a difficult life. The seven members of the Ergulong family are squeezed into a adobe house of less than 50 square meters. Nowadays, the whole family lives in a spacious two-story building, with a bright and clean living room, a clean and tidy bathroom, and a complete set of household appliances such as LCD TVs and solar water heaters. In the corner of the wall are newly purchased New Year's goods. The days are getting more and more prosperous, and the elderly have to walk around the community a few times a day. When they see their neighbors, they give a thumbs up and say, "Communist Party Wajiwa (Yi language, meaning good)! PLA Wajiwa!" Walking through the streets and alleys of the community, the New Year's atmosphere is overwhelming. Some villagers hang lanterns and paste Spring Festival couplets, some pickle cured meat and sausages, and some carry out sanitation cleaning. The air is filled with the fragrance of wax mixed with the aroma of stir fried New Year goods, and the laughter of children accompanied by wisps of cooking smoke is scattered in every corner of the Yi village. If the masses cannot live a good life, we are not worthy to be the successors of the Red Army! ”At the beginning of 2019, the party committee of the Sichuan Military Region conducted a field visit to Huojuemo and made a resounding vow. The community infrastructure is weak and the supporting facilities are incomplete. They have invested funds to launch infrastructure projects and organized professional construction teams and technical personnel to stay on site to tackle the challenges. By raising funds from multiple sources, building bridges and paving roads, renovating water and electricity, and beautifying the environment, this once dilapidated deep mountain village has finally transformed into a happy new village suitable for living and business. The iron bridge that once connected the third and fourth groups of the community was narrow and short, often submerged by floods during the flood season, making it inconvenient for villagers to travel. The newly built bridge funded by the military region of the province is like a rainbow, connecting the responsibilities of the young soldiers on one end and the expectations of the Yi people on the other. It is affectionately called the "Military Civilian Connection Bridge" by the villagers. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the red silk dances lightly on the bridge railings, adding a touch of celebration. The People's Liberation Army not only helps us live in good houses, but also helps us raise our wallets! ”Community Secretary Asha counted the achievements of the assistance and was filled with gratitude. In the past two years, the military region of the province has invested funds to upgrade the "August 1st Love for the People Industrial Park", carry out road hardening, and improve public services; Coordinate the cooperation funds between the East and the West, and build multi-functional activity rooms and new early childhood education points to change customs and traditions; Equip the kindergarten with teaching all-in-one machines, bookshelves and other facilities, and collaborate with the Third Kindergarten of the Provincial Military Region to provide paired assistance. From enriching the people with industries to warming their hearts, from living and working in peace and contentment to revitalizing villages through education, the happiness network of rural revitalization is becoming increasingly dense. Working in the industrial park, I have a fixed monthly income and can also take care of the elderly and children. ”Villager Ayu said. The reporter learned that there are still many villagers like Ayu who work outside their homes. The "Bayi Aimin Industrial Park" employs more than 300 people annually, enabling villagers to achieve stable income growth. As she spoke, she walked into the courtyard of embroidery girl Alajiajia. She was sitting around the brazier doing Yi embroidery, her fingertips fluttering with colorful threads, embroidering exquisite patterns. Beside her was freshly steamed rice cake. The income is good, "she said with a smile, her silver needle jumping in her hand. The high-end Yi embroidery ready to wear, which took over a month to meticulously craft, was ordered at a high price by merchants and is her proud work. Adiasha said, "Thanks to the assistance team stationed in the village by the provincial military region, we have carefully cultivated the Yi embroidery characteristic industry and opened up e-commerce channels. More than 10 embroidery women have increased their income and become rich through their fingertip skills. The 'intangible cultural heritage' skills have been transformed into the 'fingertip economy', which not only preserves the cultural roots, but also enriches the pockets of the villagers and attracts tourists to explore the beauty of Daliang Mountain." As dusk deepens, the painted murals of the 'Yi Sea Alliance' on the community wall are still eye-catching, and the 10000 acre wax insect industrial park is embedded in the green mountains and waters, shining with the red lanterns of every household. The fire of the Chinese New Year is lingering, with a strong flavor of the year, warm hearts, and thriving industries. In the new era, a beautiful picture is slowly unfolding on the Liangshan Mountains. (New Society)
