In those days, when the cliffs and canals were pioneers, now the Rural Revitalization takes the lead. Several generations of veterans and militia backbone in qixingguan District, Bijie City, Guizhou Province—— Love the homeland and benefit the parents and villagers ■ Jiang Ling, Luo Huabing, Chen gumeng △ in 1958, the militia of "Huang Jiguang company" of vitality commune of Bijie county (now vitality town of qixingguan District) and the masses took a group photo at the construction site of Tianqu. Provided by Xu Xuexue At the end of October, there was a bumper harvest in Shengli Town, qixingguan District, Bijie City, Guizhou Province: Citrus golden on the mountain; Hillside, Rosa roxburghii fragrance; In the field, xiaomilia grows into a red ocean. An endless stream of citizens came to visit Tianqu, experience picking and stay at home. Looking at the militia at the intersection of the village to dredge traffic and assist in epidemic prevention inspection, the 89 year old Zuo Yichao sighed: "from 'poor Kankan' to 'Fu Wowo', thanks to the militia!" Cliff high stone hard water conservancy project "can't be repaired"? Militia fighting team chisels sky canal on cliff "There are mountains of vitality, looking at the river and shouting dry mouth. There are no three bowls of water at home. I worry about eating and wearing..." this ballad spread in Bijie decades ago describes the living difficulties of the people in vitality Town, seven star pass district that year. Shengli town is located in the hinterland of Wumeng Mountain at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces. It has typical karst landform and the land can't hold water. The people living on the hillside can hear the sound of streams in the canyon and can see the Chishui River at the foot of the mountain, but it is very difficult to use water. Carrying a bucket of water home, the adult man has to go back and forth for half a day. A ladle of water, wash vegetables first, then wash your face, and then wash your feet at night. After washing your feet, you can either cook pig food or feed cattle. You can't bear to waste a drop. Water shortage seriously restricts local agricultural production and affects villagers' lives. To introduce water into the village, we must dig channels from the cliffs and cliffs. A batch of water conservancy technicians came here to investigate, and then they all shook their heads and went back. Until the end of 1956, retired soldier Xu Rong came to sickle Bay Village, Shengli town. After returning from the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Xu Rong took 12 militia backbone into the mountain to "squat" for more than a month, and called the villagers together: "when we were in Shangganling, there were aircraft interference above our heads and shell bombing around us, and the volunteers could build so many tunnels. Today we can't build a ditch at our door? People are united, and Mount Tai moves. Veterans and militia follow me!" Huang Yuangang, 84, was one of the backbone of the militia in those years. He recalled: "we went up the mountain when the cannon fired on the 20th of December 1956. There were hundreds of meters high cliffs and hard rocks, and we couldn't grasp them with our hands and feet. We hung a rope around our waist, hung down from the top of the mountain, hit the hole with a drill and a hammer, and then exploded with gunpowder bit by bit..." One drill, one hammer, one hand, two years "gnawing" down 8km. On the first day of the first month of 1958, gurgling water rushed into the village from the stone canal later named "satellite ditch". That year, the sickle in sickle Bay harvested golden rice for the first time, and the villagers ate white rice for the first time. "Satellite Dagou" won the national "highest water conservancy construction achievement award", and its commune was rated as the "advanced unit of water conservancy construction" by the State Council. Starting from the "satellite ditch", the militia of each village have set up professional teams, long repair teams and commandos to declare war on the precipice and precipice where "wild animals can't walk and birds can't stand" by means of manual operations such as hanging people from the cliff, chiseling and hammering, and self-made soil explosives. Sixteen female militiamen in the "Muguiying platoon" in Gaoliu village live in the cave for four years by building a five-story bamboo plank bed in the cave; The "Huang Jiguang company" militia in Zhenjiang village sang war songs, hung on six hanging rocks such as shiziyan and Xiechang rock, fought hard for several years, and built a "leap into the ditch" Wu Shiyuan, Secretary of the Party committee of vitality town and instructor of the civilian barracks, told the author that the militia fighting team worked one after another, hammered one after another, and successively dug more than 40 canals, built more than 10 mountain ponds and reservoirs, renovated and improved 68500 mu of land, solved the problems of drinking water and cultivated land that have plagued the vitality people for thousands of years, and changed the old appearance of vitality town. △ the militia in Shengli Town, qixingguan District normally maintain the cliff sky canal.

Militia storming troops planted a "tree of prosperity" With water conservancy infrastructure, we can grow corn and rice, ending the previous history of relying on nature. However, corn and rice can make people full, but it is difficult to make people rich. Who will take the lead in fighting poverty? The eager eyes of the masses once again turned to the veterans and militia who dug mountains and water between cliffs, high mountains and deep valleys for everyone decades ago. The people's Armed Forces Department of qixingguan District, in accordance with the Guizhou military region's "implementation plan on training and molding the ribbon leaders of rural grass-roots party groups among retired soldiers to promote the decisive battle against poverty" and the assistance measures of "one department, one village, one school and one product", adopts the method of joint military and local education to select and cultivate the leaders of rural basic party construction, the guides for poverty alleviation, the defenders of harmony and stability, and the people's intimate people Veteran role models, leaders of rural industrial revolution and experts in economic development. With the support and help of the Ministry of people's armed forces, veterans and militia inherited the spirit of cliff Tianqu and took the lead in declaring war on the former barren mountains: in Lianhe village, retired soldier Xu DINGCHUN led the villagers to plant more than 1600 mu of Yinhong plum; In Gaoliu village, veteran Liu Song led the militia to introduce Tianqu water into the dry land and wasteland slope, and 10000 mu of Citrus turned the wasteland slope into a "green bank"; In sickle Bay Village, with the support of the Ministry of people's armed forces, retired soldier Li Changyuan planted 500 mu of grapes, driving more than 170 people from 85 poor households to get rich and increase their income...

At the same time, the Ministry of people's armed forces led the militia to open mountains and build roads to help agricultural products out of the mountains. From 2014 to 2019 alone, a total of 532 km of tongcunzu road and 863 km of Chuanhu road were built in Shengli town. Fruits on trees, rice in the fields and medicinal materials in the mountains are constantly transported out of the mountains. Vitality town has also been rated as the "national advanced collective for poverty alleviation". How to build a new countryside in Xiaoshan Township?
