Is Hengyang, Hunan a poor and backward place?

Hengyang is certainly not a developed place, but it can't stand the words "very poor and backward". Hengyang is the second largest city with comprehensive strength in Hunan, and it is also a transportation hub. Trains, high-speed trains, cars and planes are all connected to all parts of the country, which is fast and convenient, and urban construction is becoming more and more perfect. If Hengyang is very backward, it is estimated that at least one third of the whole area of China should be called "very backward" or.

As the second largest city in Hunan, why does Hengyang lag behind Changde, Yueyang and other cities? Hengyang is the second largest city in Hunan Province, but there is an embarrassing phenomenon. Its economy lags behind Changde and Yueyang for three main reasons:

1, industrial upgrading is backward. In 1980s and 1990s, Hengyang's industrial level was ahead of other cities in Hunan Province, and its total industrial output value accounted for one third of Hunan Province. At that time, Hengyang was a famous old industrial base in China, leading the country in the fields of steel, textile, electronic appliances and biomedicine. Take Hengyang Textile Factory as an example. It was one of the highest textile factories in China at that time. At that time, due to the lack of industrial upgrading and technological upgrading, there was a lack of capital investment.

2. Brain Drain Because Hengyang is close to the Pearl River Delta, at that time, with the rise of Guangdong's economy, many Hengyang people began to go south to Guangdong to work hard in cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and Dongguan. Some state-owned enterprises in Hengyang moved to Changsha, and some closed down. Therefore, from the middle and late 1990s to the early 20th century, Hengyang's economy disappeared "10 years". The hollowing out of industry and brain drain have led to Hengyang's economy being gradually surpassed by cities in Yueyang, Changde and other provinces.

3. Business Environment Wu Xiaobo once said that whether a city has development potential depends first on whether there are young people on the streets of the city, then on whether the city's mentality (service institutions) is young enough, then on whether the city has hot money (capital chasing), and finally on whether the city has emerging industries and economies. Hengyang, like the three northeastern provinces, suffers from population loss, backward business environment, lack of funds and lack of vitality in emerging industries.

Every era has opportunities for development, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. It is estimated that Hengyang is currently building new industries, such as Laiyan New City, Binjiang New District, Hengshan Science City and Yungu of Hengyang, and laying out the industrial development pattern in the next decade in advance.
