It’s okay to be persistent in whatever you do. But you don’t have to be rigid in your thinking and don’t know how to be flexible.

When the traditional way of thinking doesn't work, if you change the angle or consider the problem from the opposite direction, many unsolvable problems will be solved quickly.

This is what people in previous lives often called reverse thinking.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan looked at Li Tianfang next to him, then at He Mingliang sitting on the grass slope, and waved to He Mingliang: "Brother Mingliang, come here too."

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and then said to everyone: "Now, let's discuss the question raised by He Mingliang, the captain of Xishan Village just now."

“Brother Tian, ​​the spirit of Foolish Old Man who moved mountains is certainly valuable, but it requires a lifetime or even several lifetimes of hard work from our ancestors and descendants.

Maybe generations of people won’t be able to see the future…”

Then, Liu Yan turned around and said to everyone: "Members, have you ever thought about what would happen if the villagers from natural villages like Yunling Village and Xishan Village were moved to natural villages with more convenient transportation, sufficient land, and lack of labor?

What would it be like?”

"Secretary Liu, do you mean to ask the villagers of Yunling Village to leave the village where they live now and move to another village?" Li Tianfang looked at Liu Yan in surprise.

"Yes, why not?

Not only Yunling Village and Xishan Village, but also all remote natural villages with inconvenient transportation, barren land, deep mountains and old forests, infested by wild beasts, and unfit for human habitation. Why can't we change our minds? Why can't we find a new way to lead the villagers to find a way out?

A new way out?”

"Secretary Liu, it's not that I haven't thought about it over the years, the question is where to move?

Moreover, the old people in the village are unwilling to leave the place where they were born and raised. They think that living in other villages is leaving their hometown and wandering to escape. They hope to guard their ancestral graves for the rest of their lives..." He Mingliang said.

“As for the ideological work of the elderly, our village cadres need to be patiently persuaded and explain the truth clearly so that they understand the benefits that relocation can bring to themselves and their families.

Have you thought about those young people? Have you thought about those children?

After witnessing the tragic experience in Yunling Village the year before last, I had a bold idea. Last night, I communicated with members of the Songyang Village Committee on this issue. Not only can we relocate, but we can also relocate to Nanping Village!

Nanping Village, which borders Huzhou, has the largest area among all natural villages, even exceeding the area where Songyang Brigade is located.

Regarding this, I would like to hear the opinion of the captain of Nanping Village today..." Liu Yan asked, pointing to He Wenhui, the captain of Nanping Village in the crowd.

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, He Wenhui, the production captain of Nanping Village, said loudly: "Secretary Liu, Nanping welcomes other villages to move here!

At present, there are only eleven households in Nanping Village, and the total number of men, women, old and children is less than fifty. There are few people but plenty of land, and a large area of ​​land is abandoned."

"Yes! Why can't all the villagers in natural villages like Yunling Village and Xishan be moved to Nanping Village?" The crowd began to talk and boil.

Liu Yan continued: "Comrade members, this not only solves the problems of abandoned land and lack of labor in Nanping Village, but also solves the living difficulties, inconvenient transportation and future problems of children in school in Yunling Village and Xishan Village.

And more importantly, returning the original cultivated land in Yunling Village and Xishan Village to forests will not only protect natural resources, but also restore an ecological environment to nature."

Liu Yan paused and continued: "As for Nanping Village, only when the population size increases can the economic scale be expanded.

Our own conditions have been enriched, and we can not only fully develop local resources, but also make full use of the advantages of the border with Huzhou City to connect with Huzhou’s industry and economy.”

"Tianfang, Mingliang, Secretary Liu is doing it for our own good, and what he said makes sense, so don't hesitate.

Go back and discuss with the villagers, do some ideological work for those old people, and move here! Nanping Village can organize manpower to help you..." He Wenhui said loudly.

Liu Yan continued: "At last night's village committee meeting, everyone unanimously agreed that all villagers in natural villages around the Songyang Brigade that are not suitable for human habitation and living should be relocated to the current location of the Songyang Production Brigade.

Within three years, create and establish an economic circle with more than 2,000 people.

The villagers from the natural villages around Nanping that are not suitable for human habitation and life will be relocated to Nanping Village.

Within three years, create and establish an economic circle with more than 1,500 people.

If these two economic circles develop well and the population size and economic aggregate increase, Songyang can definitely develop in the direction of townships in the future.

In this way, we can get more policy support from the country.”

"Secretary Liu, I understand! If this happens, it will be a good thing for the people of Yunling Village once and for all. I will mobilize everyone when I get back today." Li Tianfang said excitedly.

"I tell you, Brother Tian, ​​even if you don't move now, one day the material world outside will become more and more abundant, and the spiritual world will become more and more exciting, and you won't be able to stop it even if you want.

Do you think that when the children in the village grow up, the young people in the village are willing to stay in Yunling and Xishan, places where they can't even receive radio broadcasts or watch TV?

When all the young people leave one day, that place will become poorer and poorer."

Liu Yan knew clearly in his heart: Didn't this kind of problem happen in his previous life?

Especially since 2000, countless young people from impoverished mountainous areas have yearned for life in the city, left their hometowns, went out to work, and flocked to the city. In the end, the old, weak, sick, disabled, and children were left in the village.

People go to higher places. This is a historical trend, and our country's reform and opening up cannot be stopped.

If we had solved various problems existing in rural areas before entering the 1990s, built our hometowns well, and improved people's lives, would this phenomenon of abandoning our homes and families still occur on a large scale?

Instead of seeing a large outflow of young people and labor force from rural areas in the future, why can't they be allowed to build their hometowns with peace of mind from now on, contribute to their hometowns, and make their hometowns beautiful?

Liu Yan thought of this and then said to everyone: "All living things in nature are interdependent.

When there are conflicts and mutual threats between humans and other creatures in a place, why can't we reopen an area suitable for human life and give space suitable for biological life to other species?

Make the best use of things and survive of the fittest. Obviously other creatures live well, but that place is not suitable for human life, why must we compete with other creatures for space and resources?" Liu Yan said to Li Tianfang.

Liu Yan turned to the people in the courtyard and said: "I believe that everyone here does not like poverty and hate poverty. However, a lot of poverty is often caused by us humans.

The key factor causing this situation is the lack of knowledge.

Due to lack of knowledge, problems arise in the way of thinking.

Let's go back and think about our road construction plans and plans. Why should we reward education instead of rewarding money? It is to give everyone knowledge and ultimately achieve poverty alleviation through education, change in thinking and concepts, and improve overall quality.

Because knowledge is the greatest wealth that ancestors and descendants can enjoy throughout their lives.

I can tell you in advance that one year from now, Chang'an Commune will not only build two new primary schools, but also a middle school.

The eight production brigades will successively establish rural schools with nine-year compulsory education..."
