Walking around Batu and seeing the countryside

September 17, Thursday, heavy rain

Basi Village had to shoot a few minutes of video to participate in the evaluation of human settlement environment improvement. Invited to write a manuscript for a video. Every aspect of rural environmental improvement is different, and it is difficult to write about it without going on site. Moreover, since three villages participate in the competition at the same time, different points and aspects must be selected to reflect their particularity.

Come and pick me up at an agreed time, and go to Friendship Village first. It rained heavily, and the countryside after the rain was a different scene. The environmental construction of Friendship Village is still in progress. The large billboards and slogans are half finished, and the greening beside the river is not yet completed. The feeling of Ertu Village is still very messy. The beautiful courtyard construction of Yitu Village is okay, but naturally it cannot be compared with Jiangcun. After all, I just interviewed Kai Xian Gong's "small garden" last week. Every household decorated their courtyards like small gardens, which were neat and comfortable. The farmhouses in Yitu Village are irregular. Planting flowers and plants in front of and behind the houses is a highlight. Walking through a courtyard with an open door, flowerpots made of tires and old pots were neatly placed. There are also many varieties of flowers and plants.

Youyi Community is a demolition community. There are small courtyards with uniform fences in front of every house, which looks relatively clean and orderly. However, the accompanying staff said that this demolition community is the most difficult to manage. Many residents have rented out the entire building, and some have been divided into many small rooms, housing more than 10 people. In this way, it will be difficult for the village committee to manage in a unified manner.

Lianhua Road is wide and impressive, and is the main road of Youyi Village. It is bounded by Yitu Village to the east and Ertu Village to the west.

The second stop is Nongchuang Village. Nongchuang has been here countless times and interviewed many times. Nowadays, new natural villages have merged, and agricultural innovation has become even greater. As a "beautiful countryside" with traces of time, it has the culture and spirit of a rural village. It has a clear imprint of the rural development of Wujiang after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has the "beautiful dream" of building a new socialist countryside. The Thousand-acre Agricultural Demonstration Garden, the Hundred-acre Four-Season Orchard, the Beautiful Mountain Lake, the Orchid House and Su Gardening are all relics of history and reality. They are a living fossil of Wujiang's rural development that is comparable to Jiangcun.

Originally, some sisters invited me to have dinner and drink tea in Shengze at noon. I promised Bazhu that I could only refuse the sister's invitation and wait until the next time I come back to get together.

Have lunch at Beidian Garden Hotel, take a break, and continue to visit the third village, Lianming Village. There are still five natural villages left in the village: Zhuangsong, Fengzi, Zhangagang, Chenagang and Zangang, all located in the area south of Xinqi Highway. In recent years, Lianmin Village has actively developed various social undertakings, and has successively created Zhuangsong Natural Village, a three-star Kangju Village, Zangang Natural Village, a two-star Kangju Village, and Fengzi Natural Village, a one-star Kangju Village. In recent years, it has been rated as a health village in Jiangsu Province and an ecological village in Suzhou City.

The rain is falling harder. I walked to Fengzidang to check out the flood control wall. The project was basically completed. The porches and pavilions were still under construction. The green plants along the coast were yet to be planted. I could only imagine what they would look like in the near future.

In the evening, go to my sister’s house to talk. Aling just returned from training yesterday and was full of energy.
