Maiji District Media Center (Reporter Wu Xuerong and Wang Boya) On August 11, 1935, the 25th Red Army crossed Fenghuang Mountain in Maiji District and advanced into Yanhecheng (now Xinyang Town, Maiji District), destroyed local reactionary militia, and with the help of local people, forcibly crossed Weihe from two ferries, leaving a red spark. Through time, the land of Xinyang was once shining under the red fire. Now, with the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, new forward strength has been injected.
In the Red Memory Hall in Xinyang Town, the news of the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China reached here, and there were endless people coming to visit. Wang Yuze, a 52-year-old villager in Wangjiazhuang Village, Xinyang Town, is also one of them. In his memory, the old man often tells the story of the Red Army forcing the Wei River, Wu Huanxian, Xu Haidong... These famous names are also accompanied by Wang Yuze's growth. They are in my heart and cannot be forgotten, and they are particularly caring.
"The successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a happy event and a grand event. As a Communist Party member, I grew up listening to the red story of the 25th Red Army forcing the Wei River to cross the Wei River since I was a child. Today, we came to the Red Memory Museum in Xinyang Town to visit the party's history, learn and think, practice, work hard, and strive to be a qualified party member in the new era." Wang Yuze said.
Walking in the streets and alleys of Xinyang Town , red footprints can be seen everywhere. A Red Army well, a Red Army wall, and a statue... vividly reproduces the moving story of the Red 25th Army forcibly crossing the Wei River, staying in Wangjiazhuang at night, and giving food to the masses when they came to Xinyang Town.
2021, under the decision and deployment of the Maiji District Party Committee and District Government, Xinyang Town further leveraged the advantages of red resources, organically integrated red tourism into rural tourism, vigorously carried out the construction of cultural tourism facilities including the Red Memory Hall, recreating the touching red deeds of the Red 25th Army forcing the Wei River, and showing the deep affection between the Red Army and the local people. While promoting red culture and inheriting the red gene, it also stimulated the development of the local rural tourism industry. Since the completion of the Red Memory Museum in Xinyang Town, it has welcomed more than 2,600 party members and cadres in the district to visit, attracting more than 2,300 foreign tourists. In August 2021, Xinyang Red Memory Museum was listed as a district-level patriotic education base and became one of the main bases for cadres and masses in Maiji District to carry out patriotic education.
Xinyang Town Organization Committee Ma Zhihua told reporters: "Xinyang Town is a red hot land. Inheriting the red gene is the responsibility and development needs. In order to let the red culture take root and sprout, in 2021, Xinyang Town will build the Memory Hall of the 25th Army with the forced crossing of the Wei River as the background of the 25th Red Army, the theme hall of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, the Wangjiazhuang Red Theme Park, the Red Cultural Corridor, and the Industrial and Agricultural Bridge as the Xinyang Red Education Base. Combined with the advantages of the town's characteristic industries, explore a new path for the integrated development of culture, tourism, agriculture and health. , promote the inheritance of the red gene. "
Xinyang Town is located in the mountainous area in the northern part of Maiji District. In recent years, Xinyang Town has used the cultural and tourism resources of the red ancient town, adhered to the leadership of party building, vigorously gave full play to the wisdom of the masses, vigorously developed characteristic industries such as grapes, apples, and walnuts according to local conditions, and optimized the industrial development pattern of the town. The long-term development of the characteristic agricultural industry not only helped the successful completion of the historical task of poverty alleviation, but also helped the orderly development of the rural revitalization cause of Xinyang Town. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed to develop rural characteristic industries and broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and become rich, which undoubtedly added the confidence and motivation of the cadres and masses in the town to work hard and move forward bravely.
"Faced with a new journey, Xinyang will continue its red blood, give full play to its industrial advantages, vigorously promote the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, unite and lead the whole town party members, cadres and the masses to move forward in the new era and the new journey, so that Xinyang, a red ancient town, will continue to revitalize and let the people live a better life." Ma Zhihua said with confidence. 【Editor Cao Ning】
