"Running to Hailufeng" is a memorial article written by Marshal Xu Xiangqian in the 1950s. It vividly records the scene when China's first Soviet regime was born in Haifeng County, Guangdong, and also makes Haifeng County well-known to the outside world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has conducted many inspections and investigations in the old revolutionary areas, made a series of important instructions on the revitalization and development of old revolutionary areas, and put forward a series of clear requirements. Shanwei City, Guangdong Province, where the old revolutionary base of Hailufeng is located, relies on the advantages of marine and forests to continuously consolidate the development foundation, improve the development environment, and promote industrial optimization and upgrading, and has changed its appearance on the road of high-quality development of .
In order to personally appreciate the profound changes in the old revolutionary base areas since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, welcoming the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with practical actions, this summer, the Hailufeng Summer Social Practice Team of the Jingxing Class Youth League Branch of the School of Marxism of Nankai University went to Guangzhou, Shanwei and Shantou, Guangdong Province to carry out the social practice of "Our decade has seen the new look in the old revolutionary base area", and teachers and students walked together to study together, and felt the profound changes in the old revolutionary base areas in the "second classroom".

pursuing red memories and feeling the power of history
"The old revolutionary base area is the root of the Party and the People's Army. We cannot forget where we came from. We must always draw wisdom and strength from the revolutionary history." The century-old journey is magnificent, and the spirit of Hailufeng is passed down from sparks, which is the leadership of the Party throughout the revolution. The practice team visited the Guangzhou Farmers’ Training Institute Memorial Hall and the Memorial Hall of the Third Congress of the Communist Party of China at the first stop, and learned and realized the rise and development of the peasant movement and revolutionary path under the leadership of the Party in Guangzhou in modern and contemporary history, and felt the influence of red history and culture up close by through dialogue with local people. Next, the practice team went to the former residence of the Paper and the Red Palace Red Square in Shanwei City, and realized the heroism and patriotic enthusiasm of the revolutionary martyrs in the red song "Running to Hailufeng", and also paid tribute to the ancestors who devoted themselves to the construction of the old revolutionary base areas of Hailufeng since the reform and opening up of . The study of the history of the Red Revolution allowed the team members to deeply understand what "know the way we come and know where we go".

Party building solves problems and builds a solid foundation for governance
Shanwei City, Haifeng County, Shanwei City is the first batch of "red villages" in Guangdong Province, with a profound red cultural heritage. Walking into the fields and village houses of Xinshan Village, the practice team members deeply felt the new development of Xinshan Village.
The construction of grassroots party organizations is the key to the success of Xinshan Village . Village Party Secretary Lu Huyong said: "Why has Xinshan Village developed and changed so much in just a few years? After all, this is inseparable from our grassroots party building." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in order to achieve rural revitalization, the Xinshan Village Committee has proposed "one strengthening" and "three innovations" measures through visits and investigations and overcome difficulties. By strengthening the leadership of party building, a party general branch was established in the village, with three branches built on the grid, and the branch secretary and the grid leader were "shouldered". At the same time, we also carried out in-depth "one relatives and three hearts" activities of "returning homes and visiting relatives" by municipal and county cadres, town cadres "residence in the village", village cadres "intimate the Internet" and party members "connecting with households and hearts", and summarized the "three wisdoms and three fixed" party building work method to allow party branch work to follow rules.
Red flag leads the new trend and draws a picture of happiness
The grassroots organizations of the Party play a role as a fighting fortress in grassroots governance. After the Party organization construction was improved, the economic and cultural transformation of Xinshan Village changed its past stagnation and quickly got on track, and the villagers' sense of gain, happiness and security were comprehensively improved.
According to villagers, relying on the rich red culture, Xinshan Village has vigorously developed red culture education in recent years and built a red study base for primary and secondary schools. At the same time, it has innovatively implemented the "Party branch + village-level economic cooperative + farmers' professional cooperative + farmers" model of joint farming and leading farmers, actively guided villagers to plant local specialty products such as oil sticky rice , fruits and vegetables, and developed industries to enrich the people and develop village development according to local conditions. The annual disposable income of resident residents in the village increased by nearly 7 times in five years, improving people's living standards and successfully completing the task of poverty alleviation.
In order to meet the needs of villagers and improve the happiness of villagers, Xinshan Village has also invested a lot of energy in village culture construction and infrastructure improvement. The newly built village cultural activity center has a reading room, activity room and conference room, which is open all day long to provide villagers with a relaxing space. In the process of infrastructure improvement, Xinshan Village has also changed the appearance of the village through toilet revolution, rain and sewage diversion, and human settlement environment improvement, so that the concept of ecological civilization can penetrate into the hearts of villagers, effectively improving the convenience of life and livability of rural areas.
In this practical activity, the members of the Hailufeng social practice team of the School of Marxism of Nankai University learned and experienced the profound revolutionary history and culture of the old district, and personally felt the vitality and appeal of the spirit of the old district, and saw the vitality of the transformation and revitalization of the old revolutionary base. Not only that, with the help of new media and big data, the Hailufeng Practice Team further displays the practical process in videos, texts and other forms, truly practicing, understanding, and sublimating. The team members said that in the new era, we need to integrate the self with the self, connect the school with the society, integrate theory and practice, visit the countryside, deepen the grassroots, travel all over the country, and write papers on the vast land of the motherland.
