Recently, a group of special guests came to Siqian She Town, Taishun County, Wenzhou City: the new Marco Polo propaganda group of Wenzhou Medical University. These foreign speakers of different colors not only visited the development secrets of Siqian She Town and felt the new changes in China’s rural areas, but also talked with the local people about the road to common prosperity.
“This is the She ethnic customs garden, with more than 1,200 households and more than 4,000 people, and most of the villagers moved from Fengmen Village, Xuzhai Village and other villages.” Chen Shenghai, secretary of the party branch of Fengmen Village, introduced the members of the propaganda group. In the Gongfu Relocation Hall, “foreign friends” learned that 19 years ago, the villagers generally lived in the mountains thirty or forty kilometers away, and there were problems of “difficulty in seeking medical treatment, schooling, and employment”. In December 2003, when General Secretary Xi Jinping was the secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, he investigated the former She Town and gave instructions to “get down, be stable, and get rich”. Over the years, Taishun County has followed Yin Yin’s entrustment, and the villagers have moved down from the mountains one after another, making production and life more convenient, and life is getting better and better.
In Zuoxi Village, under the leadership of Zhong Xijiao, a girl from the She ethnic group, the members of the propaganda team visited the village history museum and learned that the villagers not only moved to the central village, but also opened a homestay. Zhong Xijiao also shared with “foreign friends” the experience of young people in helping common prosperity. “Comparing the old photos of the village history museum, the current village is really beautiful!” Akemo, an international student from Tajikistan, said. This group of international students from many countries in Asia and Africa also took photos in front of Shejia Xiaoyuan B&B, and posted the photos to Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms in real time to share the new look of China’s rural areas with their family and friends living abroad.
In the corridor of the newly completed Fengmen New Village Gongfu Square, the New Marco Polo Propaganda Group also talked with local villagers to share their own experiences after coming to China, and to exchange their stories of China’s common prosperity in their eyes. Although Chinese is not very “slippery”, there is no obstacle to communication about the new life in the countryside, and they talk freely about the changes brought about by life over the years. Hera, from Pakistan, said: “From their faces, I feel their happiness and reap their happiness. Common prosperity is a great job! ”
It is understood that the historical “Marco Polo” was an explorer in the 13th century, who opened a window to the world to understand China through his travelogues. In the new era, Wenzhou Medical University has given full play to the strength of international outstanding young people and set up a new Marco Polo propaganda group to better introduce the chapter of Wenzhou’s common prosperity to the world, tell the story of Zhejiang, and sing the good voice of China through the personal feelings and true voices of “foreign friends”.
