The fragrance of lotus flowers in Hetang Village

Zhaobang

Many people visit Hetang New Village because a little legend happened here.

Traveling three kilometers southwest from Zhangliang Town, you will see a tall stone archway at the entrance of the village: Mingzhen Xincun Lotus Pond. Under the setting sun, in Hetang Village, you can see the endless vegetable greenhouses, like a white ocean, and there are already a lot of fruits in the greenhouses. On both sides of the straight and clean village road are colorful roses and roses, blooming one after another, exuding fragrance. The red flowers, willows and green pavilions are even more beautiful and charming against the clear lotus pond.

At seven o'clock in the evening, a cultural performance to celebrate May Day is being performed on the village stage, attracting villagers who have been relaxing after a busy day. The teams performing are the "Youyousui Dance Team", "Red Literary Light Cavalry", "Zhou Loupan Drum Team" formed by farmers here...

We learned about it.

Hetang Village, Zhangliang Town, Lushan County, used to be an ordinary and backward village with no unique conditions. In recent years, with the approval of the Henan Provincial People's Government, it was renamed "Hetang Village" to Hetang village.

"The countryside is more beautiful than the city, like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River," said a person who has lived in the city for a long time.

After listening to the reports from the Hetang Village Party branch, people from the party organizations in the higher-level departments were amazed by the results of grassroots party building in Lushan County.

Opening the "Lushan County Place Names Chronicle" contains: Hetang Village had an ancestral hall of the He family in ancient times, and there was a large reed pond in the village, hence the name. The "Lushan County Chronicle" records that an ancient village site dating back 7,000 years ago was discovered in the north of Hetang Village during the Republic of China, and was named "Hetang Ancient Village Site".

In the past, villagers lived in pits with firewood and adobe houses, and the road was a muddy road. The road passed through the pond. If there was continuous rain, the house collapsed, and the road could float boats. The cultivated land was "water Flooded toad fields."

Chang Fuli, a young farmer from Hetang Village, studied agricultural science and technology diligently and had good skills in growing vegetables. He was hired as a technician by surrounding counties and cities. Party organizations in other places found that he had excellent skills and good character, and was a leader in making farmers rich. An exception was made for him to be a member of the Communist Party of China. After Chang Fuli returned to the village, he was elected as branch secretary by the village party committee. At that time, the slogan for the construction of rural party organizations was: "Choose a good secretary and bring blessings to the people." Chang Fuli's first move after taking office was to focus on the quality of vegetables and seek credibility. He has been selling vegetables to dealers on credit for many years. More and more people come to the lotus pond to pull food. The vegetable planting area in Hetang Village is getting larger and larger. As a result, Hetang Village embarked on a road to prosperity by growing vegetables as an industry.

Chang Fuli’s second move as secretary was to lead the villagers to pay attention to environmental construction. All roads in the village have been repaired, making them clean and tidy and lined with green trees. A rural stage and two cultural squares were built. The bigger highlight is turning all cesspools into lotus ponds. The bridge, pavilion and lights in the pond are combined, and a light show is held in summer to show off the modern atmosphere and traditional culture.

As far as the eye can see in Hetang Village, there is no colorless corner, with buildings and flowers and plants accompanying it. During the day, "two orioles sang in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascended to the blue sky." At night, small lights flicker, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere, like a garden, with a strong cultural atmosphere.

Groups of tourists are facing Hetang Village, where the fragrance of lotus flowers spreads for thousands of miles and is intoxicating, and the delicious vegetables are sold for thousands of miles. My heart is full of envy for the countryside.

Chang Fuli led the villagers to create a story. He and the villagers built a tall archway at the entrance of the village and wrote "Famous Town New Village Hetang". The Hetang villagers changed the name of the village for the first time in thousands of years. , for the first time, my heart was filled with hope, and for the first time, I showed it to the world with a new attitude.

In the spring of 2020, an epidemic broke out in China. Hetang Village sent carts of organic vegetables worth 100,000 yuan to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, expressing the patriotic feelings of the wealthy Hetang villagers. Hetang Village is famous all around. I believe that Hetang Village will be even better tomorrow.
