Four years ago, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month coincided with the lunar new year in the south. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader braved the snowstorm and came to Shenshan Village in Jinggangshan to pay a New Year call to the villagers. He said with deep affection: on the road to poverty alleviation, we can’t leave a poor family and a poor people behind.

After four years, another small year is coming. We drove along the winding Panshan Highway to Shenshan Village. There is a busy scene in the village, and everyone is nervously preparing for the annual village reunion dinner. The children danced happily, while the adults were busy, exchanging their harvests in the past year and their plans for the coming year. There was laughter everywhere.
“1、2、3… … 176, there are 176 people eating New Year’s Eve this year. " Peng Zhanyang, a young village party secretary, counted the number of people one by one. "Well, there are 8 more people than last year!" He said.
"Four years ago, among the 231 people in the village, the young descendants all went out, and only 38 old people and children guarded these 37 adobe houses. Who would have thought that in the past four years, the big guys have returned to the village one after another!" Lai Zhicheng, deputy secretary of the village branch, said happily.

Speaking of the past, Peng Shuisheng, a 79-year-old branch secretary, remembered the long-standing jingle in the village — — "There are women who don’t marry Shenshanlang, and Shenshan is a poor place; Sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are the staple food, and young children flow abroad. " He said: "In those days, everyone who could go out left, and we called this ‘ Escape from the mountain ’ 。”
Shenshan Village is located in the depths of Xiashan Mountain in Huang Yangjie, with only 5 fields per capita. No matter how well the fields are managed, they can barely make a living. The memory of poverty is rooted in the hearts of people in Shenshan Village from generation to generation. Escaping from the mountains has also become a common choice for the villagers.
"Don’t go out can have what way? In the past, there was not even a decent road in the village. Although there were many bamboos on the mountain, the chopped bamboos had to be carried down by shoulders one by one. " Lai Fuqiao, 70, recalled: "In order to make some living money at home, every household in the village made bamboo chopsticks. After they were finished, they had to climb the mountain road for more than an hour to carry them out to sell. In the end, 100 pairs of chopsticks could only earn 2 yuan 30 cents, and many families earned less than 3,000 yuan a year."
"In order to earn more money, the descendants in the village all went out to work, leaving us old guys to keep the mountain. At least, I was alone in this half of the mountain, and I didn’t even have anyone to talk to all day. I was very lonely. " Standing at the door of the house, 76-year-old Hu Yubao raised his arm and drew a half circle towards several houses on the hillside nearby.
大山阻隔了神山村的发展，让神山村落下了“穷根”。2015年，神山村被评为省级贫困村，全村54户人家中，21户是建档立卡贫困户。

“是习总书记把我们神山村人的心点燃了。2016年的春节，大家只要聚在一起，就是商量如何发展，心气从来没这么齐过，劲头也从来没这么足过。”彭展阳说。这个春节后，彭展阳辞掉了一份年收入20多万元的工作，回村创业，后来被选为村支部书记。他说：“虽然现在每月工资只有2000多元，但我们不能辜负习总书记的期望，一定要带着大家把村子发展起来！”

越来越多精准扶贫的举措，加上越来越多回村创业的神山村人，让神山村“神气”了起来。
村里的土地经过流转，460多亩种上了黄桃树、200多亩种上了茶树。21户贫困户都成了黄桃、茶叶合作社的“股东”，每年单是分红就有3000多元。
5米多宽的盘山公路修通了，路灯也亮了，井冈山上的旅游大巴，顺着宽阔的新路开进村里来了。2019年，来神山村参观的游客达32万多人次。
"Xiaohua, our farmhouse is understaffed, come back and help my parents!" Peng Shuisheng, the old township party secretary, called Peter Peng, the youngest son who works in a porcelain factory outside the mountain, back.
Three brothers, Peng Changliang, Peng Qingliang and Peng Deliang, who have worked in Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places for more than 10 years, have started farmhouse music, keeping bees and selling honey, "Jinggang Hongshenshan Tea" and self-made "Shenliang Bamboo Wine", and their annual income has exceeded 400,000 yuan.
Luo Linhui and Luo Lingen, two brothers, returned to the village from Longshi Town at the foot of the mountain, and opened a "tourist supermarket" at their doorstep, specializing in Shenshan local products, with an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan.
The descendants who fled the mountain returned to the village, started their own businesses and became rich, showing their magical powers and attracting more people back to the village. The "census" of the resident population of village committees shows: 38 in 2016, 73 in 2017, 168 in 2018 and 176 in 2019 — — It has increased by 138 people in four years.
"It’s good to come back. I’m not lonely anymore." Talking about changes, the old man Hu Yubao said: "The biggest change is that people talk anytime and anywhere." On the side, Peng Shuisheng gave a thumbs up: "I didn’t expect the afterlife in the village, and there are really many talented people!"
The younger generation came back, and with the support of party committees and governments at all levels, the lives of people in Shenshan Village became richer.

During the break, Peng Zhanyang sat with several villagers and made an "inventory" with his fingers broken: "One, two, three … … Since 2016, 22 villages have bought new houses in the city, 37 adobe houses have been reinforced and painted, the number of cars has increased from 7 to 39, and the number of farmhouses has increased from 0 to 21. "
Li Shilong, an accountant of the village committee, added: "Four years ago, the per capita income in our village was only 3,000 yuan, but now it is 22,000 yuan. In the past, our village collective income was zero, and we didn’t have to do any accounts, but now it is 380,000 yuan."
More changes are brewing!
At the beginning of 2019, a company in Jinggangshan City took a fancy to Shenshan Village and invested more than 10 million yuan to build a rural revitalization research base in Shenshan Village. At present, the research base with a total area of more than 1000 square meters has been capped and can be put into trial operation after the Spring Festival. "After the research base is built, the research tourism, farmhouse music and homestay in Shenshan Village can be transformed into scale and standardization." Peng Zhanyang introduced.
When we came down the mountain, we saw Tang Chao, the head of the tea cooperative, standing at the gate of the village Committee, giving dividends to 21 poor households’ "shareholders". 21 red gift bags filled with cash were placed on the table, and smiles bloomed on the villagers’ faces.
Deep in the mountains, the chill still attacks people. But people’s hearts are already steaming!
