Daliangshan Mountain is located about 50 kilometers southeast of Shidian County, Baoshan City, with an altitude of 1800-26 19 meters. Yang Shanzhou's hometown is in the steep slope village of Yaoguan Town at the foot of Daliangshan Mountain. In the sixties and seventies of last century, due to the lag of local economic and social development, local farmers lacked food and clothing, so they began to destroy forests on a large scale. The original green ecology of Daliangshan Mountain has been greatly destroyed. The mountains are dry, desolate and empty, with bare rocks, and the mountain streams are decreasing or even drying up year by year. Most local farmers have to carry horses several kilometers away, and more than a dozen surrounding villages have fallen into a poverty situation of "one person grows three acres, and three acres are not enough to eat". In order to increase food production, villagers have to further reclaim farmland, resulting in a sharp deterioration of the ecological environment. Yang Shanzhou chose Daliangshan only to change the ecological environment and benefit the people in his hometown. He said: "I am fulfilling my promise to the people in my hometown. I have worked in party and government organs for many years. Because of my work, I have no time to go back to take care of my elders. My hometown people have asked me to do something for them many times, but I promised to help the villagers do one or two useful things after retirement, and my promise will be fulfilled. As for how to do it, after investigation, I think it is more practical to green the barren hills for future generations, which is beneficial to the production and life of the county and the local people. " When people in his hometown heard that he was coming back to plant trees, they advised him, "You should plant trees in other places, because there are not even many wild cherries and trees in this place." However, Yang Shanzhou's vision and determination to establish a forest farm have not wavered. He invited local and county forestry department leaders and scientific and technological personnel to conduct many investigations and studies on Daliangshan. They took tents, slept in the wind, walked for 24 days, and investigated Yaoguan, the old city, the wine room and other places. After investigation, Yang Shanzhou's determination to change the face of Daliangshan and "plant trees to help the poor" has become more determined, and it is located in Daliangshan, the junction of Shidian County's old city, wine house and Yaoguan. At that time, the forests around Daliangshan Mountain had been contracted to households. What about the forest farm? After careful consideration, Yang Shanzhou creatively put forward the plan of "state-society cooperation". After receiving the strong support from the leaders of the county party committee and government, the county government held a meeting attended by relevant rural cadres and some farmers' representatives, which clarified the dialectical relationship between afforestation and agricultural production, as well as the nature, scope, mode and benefit distribution of the forest farm, which was unanimously agreed by the cadres and the masses, and then began to prepare for the forest farm. On the day of retirement, Yang Shanzhou packed his bedding and arrived at Huangnigou, the nearest to Daliangshan. The next day, the Daliangshan State-Society Joint Forest Farm was formally established. Everyone came to Ping Zi, a water pole about 0/4 km away from the highway/KLOC-with horses carrying food and luggage, and set up temporary sheds to camp. In the middle of the night, the wind blew hard, the shed was overturned, and the downpour came unexpectedly. I had to get under the saddle to avoid a stormy night. In this way, Yang Shanzhou took a few comrades transferred from the county and started hard work. Forest farm established Daliangshan Afforestation Headquarters, and Yang Shanzhou personally served as the commander. On the night of its establishment, they held the first afforestation meeting around the fire pit in a simple tent surrounded by branches. They divided the forest farm workers into three groups: propaganda and mobilization, soil remediation and seedling raising, and asked them to plant more than 10,000 mu of seedlings before the rainy season in May and June. Chatting with former "comrades in arms" in the forest farm
On the second day after arriving in Daliangshan, Yang Shanzhou called the president of Daliangshan Club and held a small meeting to explain the purpose and significance of their coming to Daliangshan, hoping to get the support of Daliangshan Club. Seeing the old secretary take the lead, Zongqing Li, president of Daliangshan Society, was deeply moved. He repeatedly said: "Old secretary, you are so old that you don't live in the city, but in the mountains to benefit our people. What else can we say? " No matter what you do, just tell the old secretary and we will support everything! "On the one hand, Yang Shanzhou took people to investigate one mountain after another in the Daliangshan area, further clarified the low-lying position of Daliangshan, and figured out what kind of trees to plant and how to plant them. He walked on the mountain for 12 days and went to all the places where he could plant trees. After he came back, he decided to plant 65438+1 00000 mu of pine forest and raise 20 mu of nursery, and then plant100000 mu of pine forest every year on average. Planting trees requires a lot of saplings, but there is no money. Yang Shanzhou racked his brains. Every day he and his staff take tools and look for saplings everywhere. He planted dozens of pots of cedar, Bai Mei and ginkgo bonsai that had been kept at home in Daliangshan. The annual Duanyang Flower Market is a traditional festival in Baoshan, and it is also the season with the most stones, so Yang Shanzhou mobilized all employees to take to the streets to pick up stones. 1990, road construction in forest farm. In order to save money, Yang Shanzhou found his own instruments and several coolies to measure the work. He just built a mountain road 14 kilometers long, and the cost per kilometer was less than 1 10,000 yuan. The forest farm has no funds to expand the planting area and cannot pay the wages of forest farm workers. Regardless of his old age and infirmity, he went to the provincial and municipal departments for project funds many times, and * * * won more than 3 million yuan for the forest farm. 1999165438+10 In October, when Yang Shanzhou was pruning a tree with a machete, he unfortunately slipped on the moss and fractured his left leg, but after half a year, he climbed up the Great Liangshan with this crutch. It was difficult to start a forest farm in those years, but Yang Shanzhou worked hard to do more with less money. If you have no money to build a house, you will spend more than 7,000 yuan to build more than 40 square meters of linoleum houses. You live eight years, and three employees live nine and a half years before going out. Have no money to buy farm tools, use local materials and do it yourself. Desks, benches and beds are all made by ourselves. There is no electricity for lighting at night, so buy a lantern. With the deepening of reform and opening up, Comrade Yang Shanzhou must adapt to the wave of market economy, change the traditional single mode of operation and realize business diversification. At the beginning of the farm, Pinus armandii was mainly planted in Yang Shanzhou. After the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he felt that only planting Pinus armandii could not produce benefits in the near future. Forest farms should cultivate forests with forests to improve economic benefits. Therefore, they introduced longan saplings from Guangdong, Fujian and other places and opened up longan fruit bases. The stereoscopic climate in Shidian County is very prominent, and the high altitude area is full of fog all the year round, which is a good place to grow tea. The bagged Heishan Yinfeng tea produced by Jiufang Township Supply and Marketing Cooperative Tea Factory, 1994, was awarded the title of high-quality product by the Provincial Department of Agriculture, which was in short supply. Inspired by this, they also established a tea production base and invested in a tea rough processing factory; On the other hand, Yang Shanzhou called on forest farm workers to explore new fields of production and management. With the efforts of him and the staff of the forest farm, a few years later, the Daliangshan forest farm is thriving, the family business is expanding, and the economic benefits are gradually emerging. The thatched cottage where I lived before my death.
In order to do a good job in diversification, they have established tea bases and tea refineries. Tea trees have grown to half the height of people, but at this moment, a rodent infestation happened, and two-thirds of the tea trees were crushed to death in a few nights, and the tea garden that people worked hard for many years was destroyed overnight. In the face of this setback, some people cringed, but Yang Shanzhou was not overwhelmed by difficulties. He encouraged everyone that if the tea garden is destroyed, it can be replanted. When a person's spirit collapses, his career is really over. He asked the staff to cheer up and fight against nature again. Since the establishment of the forest farm three years ago, they have managed to plant nearly 30,000 mu of Pinus armandii, and nearly 400 mu of pine trees have been invaded and killed by poisonous weeds called Bauhinia and Eupatorium adenophorum. Yang Shanzhou also encouraged workers not to lose heart, cheer up and go back to work. With his encouragement, the forest farm workers never bowed their heads in the face of difficulties. Although Yang Shanzhou is a voluntary contractor of Daliangshan Forest Farm, he didn't take money from the forest farm. In the first few years, the forest farm only subsidized 70 yuan's food expenses, which was later adjusted to 100 yuan. Not only is it free, but Yang Shanzhou often gives money to forest farms. The forest farm set up an underwater base at the foot of the mountain and hired some temporary workers. When the forest farm was in financial difficulties, Yang Shanzhou took out his pension and paid his salary. In the past 23 years, he has led the forest farm workers to plant 56,000 mu of artificial forest, with a forest coverage rate of about 90%, built 26 kilometers of roads in forest areas, set up high-voltage lines 15 kilometers, provided free firewood for villagers every year, built roads for six natural villages, connected production and living electricity for eight natural villages, and solved the drinking water problem of more than four administrative villages 10000 people. The per capita grain output of villagers increased from 100 kg to 450 kg, and more than four poor villages around the prison 100 households began to get rid of poverty and become rich. The most significant social benefit of Daliangshan Forest Farm is to solve the drinking water problem of local people. The ecological restoration of Daliangshan Mountain has protected some endangered animals and plants. At present, the rare animals in the forest farm include black bears, leopards, macaques, crested birds and pheasants. Plants include spinulosa spinulosa, Cryptomeria fortunei, Phoebe bournei, white apricot, cedar and so on. Bare rock phenomenon disappears, and the weather is favorable. Neighboring residents can solve the problem of firewood burning by pruning and raking grass, and increase their income by reasonably harvesting dried fungus and other delicacies. From September 20, 2009 to May 0, 2009, Baoshan suffered a drought that never happened in a century. However, due to the excellent vegetation, abundant water resources and abundant water, the surrounding people still have enough water for production and living during drought. In April, 2009, Yang Shanzhou handed over the management right of Daliangshan Forest Farm with standing trees worth more than 300 million yuan to the state for free.
