Yanling County, Hunan Province, is located in the Luoxiao Mountain area and the western foot of Jinggang Mountain, one of the 14 contiguous areas concentrated in the country. In June 2011, Huang Shiyan served as the secretary of the Yanling County Party Committee. For the next eight years, he used his constant persistence, daring to take on “tough” responsibilities and his true sense of dedication to the “red earth”, and worked together with the cadres and the masses of the county to help this old revolutionary base to get rid of poverty.
On November 29, 2019, after completing another poverty alleviation deployment, he returned to the dormitory and died of a heart attack. He was 56 years old.
After hearing the bad news, the local cadres and the masses were extremely saddened, time passed, accolades such as “rhubarb catching little yellows and golden yellows” and “the most beautiful secretary for poverty alleviation” have been widely circulated among people. Good reputation confirms what Huang Shiyan said during his lifetime: how good you are to the masses, how close the masses are to you.
“Real” Chinese characters
When Huang Shiyan became the county party committee secretary, Yanling County had a lot of “backward hats” such as deeply impoverished counties, economically weak counties, and industrially lagging counties. The county’s poverty incidence rate reached 19.5% and the farmers’ per capita income was 2,970 yuan, which is a typical poor area for young and old.
Liu Minghua, deputy director of the Yanling County Party Committee Office, presented that at the beginning of his term, Huang Shiyan believed that “high mountains are not as high as toes, and long roads have no legs. long “for” grand visits “: bring your own ingredients to the village, enter their homes and cook together with the people. , Eating at the same table, working together on the farm, listening to the heartbreaking words of the people; running into the village without electricity, drilling the adobe house, entering the “cedar skin house”, interviewing the poor … After the investigation, Huang Shiyan felt painful and traffic congestion in the county of Yanling was a sore spot. Lack of resources is a problem, poverty and backwardness is the enemy.
“The Communist Party is a party that eats, dresses and lives for the proletariat,” is a slogan left by the Red Army in Yanling County in 1929. “We communists are making revolution to provide people with food, clothing. and housing. We must promote the Red Army style, make the countryside more beautiful day by day, and let farmers get rich day by day, “said Huang Shiyan, the whole county Party members and cadres felt deeply moved.
He proposed to vigorously develop the three main industries of green agriculture, ecological industry and cultural tourism. He made a “military order” for himself, solved the most difficult, most worried and most hopeful things about people, and solved each problem with a single account.

He was delighted when he was a farmer: “We want to turn Huangtao’s ‘treasures’ from childhood into merchandise to help alleviate poverty.”
With a lot of hard work, Huang Shiyan led the formulation of yellow peach development plans and reward policies, promoted advanced cultivation techniques, discovered the motto “Yanling yellow peaches, drunken peaches of the world”, also participated in packaging design, supported e-commerce sales and promoted Won the “National GI Certification Mark”, encourage deep processing, organize the elimination of bad varieties, and restrict blind expansion …

“If you cannot live in peace, how can you get rid of poverty?” Huang Shiyan sent a “cruel word” to make a decision: “You must let people live in new houses. Each home will also give a garden and build a small house. When life is better, the house will be Adding a floor requires laying the foundation on two floors and leave the stairs. “

Relocated households moved into new houses, 2,543 poor rural households established settlements, and 11,000 dilapidated adobe rural houses were renovated.
