革命老区的“新面孔”

THE NEW LOOK OF THE OLD REVOLUTIONARY AREAS

在如今经济飞速发展的中国,那些革命老区发展怎么样？这是关注中国的人们,心中的一个好奇。德州乐陵是著名的红枣之乡,也是山东最早的革命老区——冀鲁边区的一部分。这片养育过一代代英雄儿女的土地,既有曾经波澜壮阔的红色历史,也有今天为人称道的新村新貌。寻访乐陵,走进村民的家里,听老乡聊聊这里的过去与现在,有太多故事都值得来此细细体味。

How are the old revolutionary areas now in the China of rapid economic development? This is a point that Chinese people are very curious about.Laoling,in Dezhou,is a part of JiLu Border Region,well known as the land of Chinese red jujubes,as well as the oldest revolutionary area in Shandong Province.This land not only raised heroic youth,but also developed a reputation for its contemporary new look.Having visited Laoling,chatted with the villagers,and experienced its past and present,we have so many stories to be relished.Each village in Laoling has cultivated jujube trees.Guided by the Chief,Zhang Hongxia,the group visited Liangzhui Xisen new village in Huangjia Town.Line upon line of cottages made people feel surprised.Laoling has developed a circular economy since2000.Liang Zhaoli,one of the villagers said: ' We used to do the farm work and earned only a few thousand RMB.But now I can work in the workshop and my salary has increased to more than40,000 RMB a year.' Xizhao village in Laoling is clear and bright in autumn.A green plastic gateball court has been built in this place.Some classical things or old customs have faded while the economy has been developing.However,the most consistent thing,friendship,will always remain.
