Shashiyu was once a poor village in Hebei Province,but now it has changed into a rich and
liveable place.
In the 1940s,villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes,but they had a strong
wish for a better life.Zhang Guishun,the Party secretary of Shashiyu,encouraged his villagers to
do their best to pull themselves out of poverty."In the ancient Chinese story,Yu Gong could
move mountains with his strong will and hard work.Why can't we?Nobody was born to be poor!"
Hearing his words,the villagers decided to make a difference.
Led by the Communist Party of China(中国共产党),the villagers carried water and soil to
their village from faraway places to improve their land.From 1966 to 1971,they reclaimed
lots of land and greatly improved their life.
However,the village encountered a new problem two decades()later as the environ-
ment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries(栋油厂))built in the
1990s.
The polluting factories were shut down in 2004,and the villagers started grape cultivation,
which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu.
In 2009,the city-level government invested()over one million yuan $152,723)to
change the village's exhibition hall into a museum in memory of development efforts made by earlier
generations.
After 10 years,the village was called "National Forest Village".
Zhang said that the village started a yearly tourism festival in 2015 to attract travelers to pick
grapes."The grapes could be sold at a better price once Shashiyu becomes famous through this
festival.Our villagers can then live even better lives,he said.
