Early yesterday morning, Cao Zhengzhu, a villager in Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, had a pot of hot water and shaved in the mirror. It turned out that his family was rated as one of the first "beautiful courtyards" in the town, and he was going to receive the award. There are more than 500 households in the village, and the first batch of them are rated family There are only five families. In addition to being clean and tidy, the harmonious family style of the old Cao family and the harmonious relationship with his neighbors are the key to success. After being evaluated, he will become a "pacesetter" and work with villagers to promote the construction of "poetry and painting village" in the whole village.
"I don't know how to talk, but I only know how to do. I hope the whole village will look better and better, and everyone will compare their contributions." Cao Zhengzhu standing on the podium tapped the microphone subconsciously, obviously nervous. Without saying a few words in his acceptance speech, the 75 year old smiled and kept repeating, "I'm not good at speaking, I'm not good at speaking."
Lao Cao was a simple and honest farmer. He was very friendly to others. After a few words, he invited him to sit down at home. Entering Cao's yard, the shelves at the door of the house were full of flowers, and his favorite ornamental fish were kept in the aquarium in the main room.
"The yard is very beautiful, but the most important thing to see is here." He pointed to the window root and drew a horizontal line with his hand, which was left by the flood. During the catastrophic flood last year, the village was severely affected, roads and infrastructure were damaged, and every household was flooded. It was not until the middle of August last year that Lao Cao and his fellow villagers slowly recovered from their initial panic.
Cao Zhengzhu remembered that when Cao Hongwu, the secretary of the village party branch, visited with village cadres and party representatives, he asked everyone for advice on post disaster reconstruction. The old people in the village said, "I hope the village will be as beautiful as before and the homestay will be restored."
Compared with many villages in the town, Yubai Village's "appearance" was prominent and has a long history. The village was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Stone is a specialty here. The alleys built of bluestone, the folk houses built of mountain rocks, and the huge stone rollers placed on the open land make the village unique. In 2019, it was also rated as a beautiful leisure village in China, driving the home stay industry in the village.
After the flood, the construction of the village gradually started, but everyone's morale was still low. At the town party committee, Cao Hongwu raised questions. After several rounds of visits and research, the "Beautiful Courtyard" appraisal was carried out in all villages of Yanchi Town. Look closely at the rules, there are many items, including four cleanings (cleaning up garbage, debris, broken walls, courtyard); There are also four modernizations (purification, greening, beautification and lighting). In addition, the rules encourage everyone to create a beautiful, comfortable, civilized and harmonious environment where they can live and work in peace and contentment, and build the village into a picturesque and beautiful home.
"Good village appearance and harmonious local style are the key to our development. During the selection process, five home stay houses in the village have resumed business, and the other 15 are also in the preparation process. Everyone has worked hard to develop the culture and tourism industry," Cao Hongwu said.
The construction of "poetry and painting village" is one of the key points in the post disaster reconstruction of Mentougou. Since the beginning of this year, Miaofeng Mountain Scenic Area and Cuan Bai Scenic Area have been opened in succession. The mountains in western Beijing have welcomed tourists back during the Spring Festival, May Day holidays and other holidays, and the reconstruction has achieved a lot.
It is worth mentioning that on the day when the first batch of "beautiful courtyards" were rated, the 16th Yubai Cultural Festival also kicked off. Listening to melodious operas and watching cheerful dances, Cao Zhengzhu blurted out, "There's drama, there's drama!"
