My "Happiness Road" ① 丨 Bashang Farmer Happiness Yoga

Zhang Bei at the end of May, the wind was still cold, and it hurts to blow on his face. The county propaganda officer told reporters that there is a village in Zhangbei County called Yulou Liang, and the elderly who stayed in the village all year round are all old people. The happy days of a group of old ladies are practicing yoga.

Yugu Liang is a village located in the grassland of the Bashangba, Jimeng, 63 kilometers from the county seat. On the wall made of red and black bricks, the word "Chinese Yoga Village" is written on the wall of red and black bricks. On the white fence of the village committee, the "China Fitness Yoga Demonstration Village" is written, which is awarded by the State General Administration of Sports. The lyrics of the song "There is a place named Jade Dog Liang" on the wall. The stick figure of yoga posture can be seen everywhere, so that the entire village has a relationship with yoga.

Even so, the old lady and yoga in the countryside, the reporter could not contact these two words together at first, until after a discussion with the aunts in the village, they thoroughly knew how good the rural old ladies practiced yoga.

"Girl, you lift your feet like this like this." "Girl, put back on the yoga mat like me." "Come, like this aunt, put your legs on my back." ...

The enthusiastic aunts habitually wanted to be a teacher, and taught the reporter to learn yoga. In their team, the oldest 80 -year -old, the youngest 60 -year -old, in the six years of practicing yoga, each of them has a "unique". Double disk, inverted, legs around the head, etc., just looked at the reporter dumbfounded.

Looking at the painful appearance of the reporter, the aunts joked that they danced a happy yoga.

"Why is it a happy yoga? I take you to see it." Zhang Xiying, 68, pulled the reporter to her house.

Entering home, Shangluan, and diary. In this process, Zhang Xiying's old couple can not be familiar with. Her wife Wang Zhanshan is 82 years old. He was a private teacher and a cultural person in the village. Over the years, every time you encounter major events and good events, Wang Zhanshan will always write it down. This writing is more than 50 years.

"On January 28, 2019, the economic benefits of planting quinoa are high, and the subsidy of 200 yuan per acre of land can exceed 10,000 yuan in income; The first time I went to the provincial capital to perform in the yoga fitness group, I was so excited that I burst into tears ... "Road repair, rack lamps, water flow, quinoa revenue, poverty alleviation ... In more than 20 books in Wang Zhanshan, Yugu Liang Village The changes in the past few years are clear. Zhang Xiying, who loves to laugh, said that yoga has a great impact on the villagers.

"We are not very sick now, our health is good, and the spirit is better. As soon as the village is coming, we quickly put on white pants and red tops. Come out, let the reporters see her makeup clearly. "At the beginning, we didn't know what yoga was, let alone believe that learning yoga could get rid of poverty. Learn, if it wasn't for Secretary Lu, we still live a poor life now. "

Secretary Lu in Zhang Xiying's mouth, Lu Wenzhen, is the first secretary of Shijiazhuang Vocational and Technical College in Yumouliang Village.

Just after the Spring Festival in 2016, Lu Wenzhen first came to Yugu Liang. "At that time, there was no decent way in the village. We stayed in the village for a few days and found that young people and children were gone. The rest of the village was the elderly. At that time, my heart was cool." Take a reporter in the village and introduce the situation of Yuliangliang Village.

Yuliang Village was a national poor village. Lu Wenzhen clearly remembered that when he came to Yuliangliang Village, there were 457 household registration population in the village, of which 254 were poor households who set up files, and young people went out to work. "Poverty caused by illness" accounts for more than 60%of the poor. In this dam, there is insufficient water resources. In addition to potatoes and pupae, economical crops that can be planted are limited. "Who is the old man who is looking for a project? The situation in the village is like this. The elderly are mostly. We choose to choose, and we can't find the way out of poverty." Lu Wenzheng couldn't think of a good law for a while, and he wanted to enter the household first, so he thought about entering the household first. Touch the situation of each family.

"When you go to the house and go to the house, they will be" double disks'. I suddenly thought that this action was the same as the yoga movements of the city. "Lead you to practice yoga to strengthen your body, and at the same time hopes that in the future, the brand can be launched, realizing the goal of attracting investment, poverty alleviation and getting rich ... When Lu Wenzheng explained this idea with joy to the folks, he did not expect to be poured another" "Cool heart".

"No one responds, no one can believe that training yoga can get rid of poverty. But at that time, I couldn't find a better idea than this. Later, I said who would send gloves and yoga mats." Lu Wenzhen used this trick first first Get up the person.

After that, Lu Wenzhen sent the short videos of the folks to practice yoga to the WeChat public account. Over time, the old people of Jade and Dog Liang spread out.

At the beginning of 2017, the Social Sports Guidance Center of the State Sports General Administration of Sports called. They encouraged Lu Wenzhen to persist and mail the textbooks. They also praised the Yugou Liang as the "China Yoga First Village" on the official platform of the National Yoga Sports Commission.

On the home, the fields, the yoga movements of the folks come at hand. Some people with a relatively high level formed the yoga team in the village. They were invited to the real stage to perform in Shijiazhuang, Changsha, Nanjing and other places. Many elderly people also came out of the jade dog beam because of yoga. What is even more worthy of everyone is that at the Torch transfer scene of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games in 2022, they performed along the Disheng Village of the 85th Torch Transmission area.

"We have to go to a bigger stage, continue to practice, and strive to go to the Spring Festival Gala." From the past three or three, two or two are sitting together and chatting, and now the folks with common goals practice yoga every day and live their lives on their mobile phones. Understand new things in society. Today, the elderly in Yuliang Village not only lived hard, but everyone's heart was also uniform.

In February 2019, Yuliangliang Village achieved the goal of poverty alleviation with the whole village with "two unreasonable and three guarantees", with a per capita net income of 12,335 yuan.

On the last day of the interview with Yugu Liang, I remember the party branch secretary Zhang Pengcheng who came back from a business trip from the field. He is a new branch that was just elected last year in the village. At the age of 40, he is currently the youngest person in the village.

"I can't see hope in the past. Now the village is a bit famous. I want to return to the village to take everyone to do breeding, travel, and truly do something. In addition, I want more young people like me to return. Village entrepreneurship. "Zhang Pengcheng told reporters that he had contacted him in the village in the past few days and wanted to return to the village to develop the industry.

Nowadays, the quinoa processing plant has been built in the village, which has begun trial production. After the official put into production, employment can be provided. Lu Wenzhen and Zhang Pengcheng discussed that Yugou Liang still planned to plan around yoga, and build a "Chinese Yoga First Village" with "elderly yoga fitness, leisure, summer, vacation, and recuperation". I want.
