Beautify the countryside and keep homesickness - Taoyuan County 2019 Environmental Protection Century Walking Pen Hunan Daily • New Hunan Client Reporter Lu Rongbing Correspondent Huang Guichao Zhang Yalan Under the blue sky and white clouds, Taoyuan County is like a shining pear

(The tea garden is green and the stream is gurgling.)

"This is the treated domestic sewage for residents. Look, clean, right?" In Cha'anpu Village, a staff member of Taoyuan County Environmental Protection Bureau approached a ditch next to a farmer's home, snatched a handful of clear water to show it to the reporter. In the clear ditches, small fish and shrimps swim among the aquatic plants, which is very cute.

"Our domestic sewage was treated at will by ourselves. When the weather was hot, the smell was bad and mosquitoes and flies were flying all over the sky." Villager Tang Yunfeng shook his head repeatedly when he talked about the past. Since 2017, a comprehensive rural environmental improvement battle with drinking water source protection, domestic waste treatment, domestic sewage treatment, etc. as the main contents started in Taoyuan , and 2,464 single-family four-pool purification systems "fly" into 16 townships and 42 villages in the county.

"Sewage flows into the green plant pond through water pipes, and after multiple filtration, it reaches the rural sewage discharge standards, it is discharged through another pipeline." Standing next to the sewage treatment pool at Tang Yunfeng's home, Wang Yongzhong, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and deputy director of Taoyuan County Environmental Protection Bureau, explained the sewage treatment process to reporters. In the interview with

, the existence of an small park aroused the curiosity of reporters. Yan Sheng, member of the Party Committee of Cha'anpu Town and director of the CPPCC Liaison Office, introduced that this is a centralized sewage treatment station, which adopts hydrolysis and acidification + contact oxidation + artificial wetland technology, and is responsible for the domestic sewage treatment in the centralized living areas of residents. In order to fully integrate with the surrounding green mountains and waters, the sewage treatment system is also buried underground and "hidden" among green trees and flowers, creating the appearance of a small park.

These sewage treatment facilities are just a microcosm of Taoyuan's rural comprehensive environmental improvement project. It is understood that Taoyuan County has promoted comprehensive rural environmental improvement projects, covering 28 townships and 120 villages in the county, with a direct beneficiary population of about 270,000 and an indirect beneficiary population of about 590,000.

Now, the water quality in the ditch has improved and the fish have come back. "When we were children, we were fishing, shrimps, and loaches in the ditch, how much happiness was. Now the children can finally understand it again." When we said this, Tang Yunfeng's face was filled with sunshine.

In the newly built event square of Xiyu Group Xiyu Group 8 of Jianshi Town Xiyu Village, more than 10 villagers were chatting in the warm winter sun, talking and laughing. The reporter saw that the layout of the private houses in the village was orderly, the cement roads were clean and tidy, and every household had opened up a vegetable garden in front and behind the house. The green vegetables were full of vitality and were growing well.

Liu Guitang, secretary of the village party branch, told reporters that more than 40 families here were affected by the disaster in Yuanshui at the end of the last century and moved here through immigration. Due to the conditions at that time, there was no decent drainage channel or road in the area. When it rained, sewage flowed everywhere and the living environment was extremely poor. Xiyu Village once became dissatisfied with rain.

In order to build beautiful and livable villages and fight the first battle of rural revitalization, Taoyuan County has steadily promoted the improvement of the living environment. The village made a scientific plan, invested more than 1 million yuan, built a new drainage pipe connecting each farmer, treated residents' toilets harmlessly, repaired and hardened village roads, installed solar street lights, planted landscape trees, and farmers' gardens were also standardized.

The sun is shining, and 73-year-old villager Peng Yuncheng is basking freshly harvested sesame seeds on his own house. The old man used "world of difference" to describe the improvement of the living environment to reporters. "In the past, everyone was backward and no one was particular about it. Now that the home has become beautiful, people's environmental awareness has also improved." He said that he is at home with his wife, growing vegetables and raising chickens during the slack farming period, and taking care of the courtyard. He lives a happy and peaceful life in his later years, and wants to live for decades more.

Environmental sanitation is the face of the countryside. With the better environment, there are more ways out for the development of the village. At present, Xiyu Village is actively building rural tourism, building a farming cultural center, planting hundreds of acres of crape myrtle, and actively guiding farmers to develop mulberry and yellow peach planting. At the same time, dozens of ponds of all sizes in the village have been silted to achieve the "people can raise" fish fry. In the future, this place will definitely become a good place for city people to fish and experience picking.

At the foot of the green mountains, the clear water flows like a picture,

Taoyuan is a major water conservancy county, with a total of 138 rivers and 322 reservoirs in the territory. Due to the large number of rivers (reservoirs), the management and protection responsibility is heavy. In recent years, the Taoyuan County Party Committee and the County Government have thoroughly implemented the development concept of "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains", always adhered to the ecological construction of a county, and focused on building a green Taoyuan, achieving the "three-quantity improvement" of economic development quality, ecological environment quality, and people's quality of life, and embarked on a road of high-quality and sustainable development.

(Kowloon Reservoir surrounded by green mountains.)

located in Shaluo Village, Jianshi Town, is the best witness of history. In 1958, hardworking people built this comprehensive reservoir integrating flood control, irrigation and power generation in the shocking labor phone. In 2014, Kowloon Reservoir was identified as a drinking water source protection area . When the reporter visited, he saw that there were green trees and green mountains, clear water and blue sky, and on the shimmering water surface, a group of water birds were chasing and playing, and they were so happy.

Once upon a time, this fairyland on earth also suffered unforgettable disasters. Guo Zhongbing, deputy director of Jiulong Reservoir Management Office, told reporters that the reservoir area has 3 villages in Jianshi Town and Yiwangxi Town. In the past, more than 2,000 permanent residents had direct sewage drainage from the reservoir, and piles of domestic waste on some river bank tidal flats. In addition, the agricultural non-point source pollution caused by more than 2,000 acres of farmland and vegetable fields around it made this pearl in the shade riddled.

Since the implementation of the standardized construction of centralized drinking water source protection zone in Taoyuan County with more than 1,000 tons and tens of thousands of people and environmental problem management project, the pollution sources in the drinking water source protection zone of Jiulong Reservoir were investigated and analyzed, and a series of targeted, feasible and profit-oriented rectification measures were proposed. Isolation guardrails were set up on the periphery of the land area of the first-level protection zone; floating interception belts were pulled up around the drinking water intake in the reservoir area; all low-enclosed fish ponds in the protection zone were demolished, and solid and liquid pollutants from farmers were collected and treated.

Yiwangxi Town Shaluoxi is the upstream of the first-level protection area for drinking water sources in Jiulong Reservoir. In the past, due to negligence in management, the "live water" at the source became "mutty water". Nowadays, Yiwangxi Town takes the creation of the model river as a starting point and raises funds to comprehensively manage the Yanbazui Village section of Shaluoxi, attracting gurgling water to the Jiulong Reservoir from the source. Looking at the clear water of the lake at the door of the house, the local people couldn't help but feel happy.

Reporter's Notes -

"You can see the mountains, you can see the water, and you can remember your homesickness." This is the common life vision of people today. What is homesickness? The reporter found the answer in Taoyuan County's 2019 Environmental Protection Century Tour.

Nostalgia is a green mountain from the sound of the cow ringtone "Dingdang", a stream of green water where children roll up their trousers to fish and play, the curling smoke rising from the roof of the house when the sun sets, and the call of the mother. It is the childhood of people living in a fast-paced manner who dreams of going back.

The rural revitalization strategy vigorously promoted by the country has painted a beautiful picture of "prosperous industry, livable ecology, civilized rural customs, effective governance, and prosperous life".Taoyuan County adopts policies according to local conditions and villages, and uses a spirit of hard work to carefully carve it. It has handled the relationship between traditional rural protection and new rural construction well, retained the local atmosphere and rural style, allowing those who miss it to have roots to find, feelings to pursue, and things to think of, and retained our homesickness.

reporter like Taoyuan County, a national demonstration county for ecological civilization construction!
