In the bright workshop, more than 100 electric sewing machines are arranged neatly. The workers in front of the sewing machine are skillfully operating the machine. In the sound of "clicking", the colorful cloth quickly turns into ready-made clothes... Entering Songxin Garment Factory in Zhanglaojia Village, Gaosi Town, Xiangcheng City, Henan Province is a busy scene. In recent years, the local government has promoted poverty alleviation and the construction of beautiful villages as a whole. Gaosi Town has ushered in many new changes: there are more ways to get rid of poverty and become rich, and the villagers have fewer worries.

Songxin Garment Factory is the second "poverty alleviation factory" in the village. Since its completion and operation in April 2017, the factory has attracted more than 100 left behind women for employment, including more than 30 poor households in Zhang Laojia Village alone. Yang Ling, a poverty-stricken household, has worked here for almost a year, earning more than 1800 yuan per month. "It's better to work here with less expense and care for the family than to go out to work". Yang Ling told the heart of many local poor people.

Only with industry can poverty alleviation be sustainable. After several years of poverty alleviation, the roads in Zhanglaojia Village have been repaired, bridges have been built, and the pockets of poor households have also been bulging. Zhanglaojia Village installs photovoltaic power generation equipment for poor households free of charge. Through photovoltaic power generation, each poor household earns 3000 yuan annually; We will guide poor households to join the cooperatives, and each household will receive an annual dividend of 900 yuan.

The change of Zhanglaojia Village is a microcosm of the poverty alleviation work of Gaosi Town. Through one village, one policy, the town regards the development of industries and the promotion of employment as the main means to remove the hat of poor villages. Local people can not only find jobs at their homes to get rid of poverty, but also the number of left behind children is decreasing. A group of young people with skills, hard work and desire to start businesses have returned to the village, providing talent support for promoting poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.

"The number of garbage piles in the village was innumerable. When the wind blew, plastic bags flew around." Gu Liying, a villager in Zhangying Village, Gaosi Town, said that although Gaosi Town used to keep its unique natural advantages, it did not pay much attention to the rural living environment. On rainy days, the dirt road is muddy, sewage flows across, and the road is blocked.

Now, when we walk into Zhangying Village, we can see a bright sight: clean and wide cement roads, new solar street lamps, interesting village gardens, happy cultural compounds... The residential buildings with white walls and red tiles, green camphor trees and weeping willows, and one side of the cultural wall is particularly eye-catching, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the village. In the village cultural courtyard, in the slack season, there are a large number of people crowded and bustling. There are basketball courts, table tennis tables and other sports and fitness facilities. Villagers come here to dance square dance in the evening.

Now, through the construction of a beautiful village, Zhangying Village has realized that every household has access to tap water and cable TV, and all village roads have complete lighting facilities. It has also built a harmless public toilet, purchased two garbage trucks, and set up 50 classified garbage bins. Gaosi Town seized the advantages of the Quanhe National Wetland Park in the south of Linfen, built the Fenhe Beach Park, and formed a good landscape of "one tree per street, one flower per road"; In villages, we should comprehensively improve the living environment, and deal with the "five chaos" phenomenon of garbage dumping, feces piling up, livestock and poultry running, firewood placing, and sewage discharging.

"The ecological environment has improved, weddings and funerals have become civilized, stereotypes have disappeared, and beautiful villages are getting closer and closer!" Zhang Xueli, an old party member in Zhangying Village, said excitedly. In order to purify the folk customs and rectify the rural customs, Gaosi Town guides the masses to form villagers' organizations such as Red and White Councils, village wise teams, and moral appraisal committees to break old customs and eliminate bad habits; At the same time, give play to the leading role of party members, cadres and excellent villagers, widely carry out selection activities such as "good people around", "good family style and good family discipline", and cultivate a civilized rural style.
