The current motherland is very prosperous both economically and in terms of national strength. Even families in remote rural areas are relatively well-off. However, when the People's Republic of China was first founded, China's economy was very poor. It was backward. Although it was very rich in land resources, as a country with a large population, the per capita was very low. At that time, almost all rural areas were dominated by rural areas, and urban development was also very unsatisfactory. That is to say, under such circumstances, in order to develop the economy, we advocated Let some people get rich first, and then lead other people to get rich. In this way, many "rich villages" were born at that time. Now, after so many years, how have the former "rich villages" developed? What we are going to talk about now is a wealthy village in Jiangsu. The Zeng family lived in a villa and drove luxury cars. Now they are heavily in debt and unable to repay it. How did this wealthy village decline?
You must know that in order to develop the economy at that time, the country implemented many policies that benefited the country and the people, which helped many rural areas get rid of poverty and slowly began to make fortunes. Some villages even gradually developed due to their excellent development. It has become a scale comparable to that of a county or town. Once such a village develops, it can be said to make the surrounding people very envious. And there is such a village in Jiangxi. In its heyday, almost every household drove a luxury car. Building a luxury mansion can be said to be very beautiful and admired by countless people. However, such gratifying results did not last forever, and instead, we were heavily in debt. What happened in this?
This village belongs to Jiangsu. At that time, like most villages in China, the economy was very poor and backward. Although their geographical location was close to the prosperous coastal cities, such geographical advantages did not give this village What benefits did it bring, and it was until a young man appeared to change everything.
He is Wu Renbao. He was born in 1928 and is a local. Wu Renbao, who has been growing up in this barren land, is very clear about how poor and backward his hometown is. With rich knowledge, he has always been determined to lead the folks in his hometown to the road of prosperity, and he has been moving towards this goal throughout his life. After Wu Renbao became secretary in 1961, Wu Renbao began to think about how to lead the village to wealth.
So Wu Renbao inspected other villages that had begun to get rich, to learn and imitate their models of getting rich. While learning from them, he also considered the current situation of his own village. Wu Renbao was also thinking about how to develop his own characteristics. At that time, Wu Renbao was very optimistic about the hardware processing industry because the market competitiveness at that time was not very competitive. It was this trial that allowed the village to make its first pot of gold through this small hardware factory. This trial made the village Everyone has tasted the benefits and their lives have improved significantly. Wu Renbao is not satisfied with this small success.
While developing industry, he did not give up on agriculture, because he knew that he could only pursue higher wealth when he ensured that people had enough to eat and drink. Therefore, while increasing food production, he insisted on developing industry. Wu Renbao believed that industry would be the general direction of development in the future. Therefore, he focused on both industry and agriculture and became a well-known local representative at that time. Later, he closely followed the national policies and the east wind of reform and opening up. In the 1980s, he Actively developing industry, ranging from hardware processing plants to steel plants and textile factories, Huaxi Village has undergone significant changes with its vigorous promotion of industry, making Huaxi Village a model village for national development at that time.
People’s quality of life has been significantly improved, which can be said to be the first step to help local people get rid of material poverty. Wu Renbao knows that the poverty in his hometown is not only economic but also spiritual, so he is more concerned about education. He did not dare to relax, that is, under his leadership, local children achieved free education from primary school to high school. In order to encourage people in the village to send their children to study and take pride in reading, there will be many benefits, and It was these benefits that made Huaxi Village a place where many people wanted to live.
Adaptability is the touchstone of wisdom
Under the leadership of Wu Renbao, Huaxi Village could be said to be singing all the way. Until the 1990s, Wu Renbao basically realized his original dream, making The people in Huaxi Village have all escaped poverty, and their lives have moved to a new level in terms of material. That is to say, at that time, almost every family had surplus food, and everyone began to live a prosperous and happy life.
Although the original ambition was realized, Wu Renbao also has newer ideas and plans for such development. He hopes to bring a second change to the village and bring people's lives to a higher level.
Based on his many years of experience and vision, Wu Renbao turned his attention to the direction of tourism. He believed that tourism, as the tertiary industry, should become a new trend in the future, so he slowly conducted research on Huaxi Village. The village was transformed into a tourist attraction, and the results at that time also proved that Wu Renbao's vision was very unique. At its peak, Huaxi Village received nearly 2.5 million tourists every year. At that time, many famous attractions were unavailable. The data brought new vitality to Huaxi Village. Later, Huaxi Village had three pillar industries: steel, textiles, and tourism. It can be said that it was unparalleled in the limelight and led the country.
When everything in Huaxi Village was heading in the direction of this number, Wu Renbao passed away, and it was Wu Renbao's death that caused the high-speed Huaxi Village to suddenly lose its direction, like a driverless vehicle, all the way. The rampage has also caused the development of Huaxi Village to stagnate. Although it has assets of 55 billion on the surface, its liabilities are as high as 38 billion. Seeing that the deficit is becoming more and more obvious, Huaxi Village has ushered in a new crisis, because China's overall development has also caught up. At this time, there is overcapacity in the secondary industry. That is to say, at this time, there is an imbalance in the three pillar industries of Huaxi Village, and its steel and textiles are both secondary industries. This led to Huaxi Village's economic deficit.
Lack of effective leadership, Huaxi Village also failed to adjust its industrial structure in a timely manner, so it failed to achieve economic transformation while developing its economy, especially in 2017 when steel production capacity was very excessive. , they still regard steel as the mainstay of their economy and are reluctant to give up this industry that once allowed them to develop. Later, due to their wrong decisions, the village faced huge debts. It was this mistake that caused this rich village, which was once admired by everyone, to lose its former glory.
Wu Renbao’s life is worthy of our admiration and learning. He has never fallen behind the times, and has never stopped working for the benefit of people. It can be said that he has been constantly learning and improving throughout his life. The practice of adapting to the times has allowed Huaxi Village to usher in one success after another, growing from a backward and poor village to a representative of the times. Although the former rich village has declined, in the eyes of many people its rise and fall are all because of Wu Renbao, but in fact it is because Wu Renbao had a keen sense of the future direction at that time and always seized the opportunities of the times to move forward. Struggle, the success of Huaxi Village is due to Wu Renbao’s indelible contribution, and it is also due to the needs of the development of the times.
The reason for the final decline of Huaxi Village is that economic development, like people, needs learning and adjustment, and must follow the footsteps of the times, rather than clinging to past achievements and not letting go in the face of past glory. Talent comes with sacrifice, and in the face of the times, there are always some that need to be eliminated. If you keep holding on, you will be like the steel industry in Huaxi Village. Not only will it fail to bring about good changes, but it will fall into crisis.
