Local products on the happy car
"If my farm produce can enter Chifeng supermarket, my family will have tens of thousands of yuan in a year." At about 9:00 on July 20, in the waiting room of Jianping station, Liu Maolin, carrying his own native eggs and millet, said happily.
Liu Maolin is a villager in Fengshuigou village, Jianping County, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. On the same day, he was preparing to take the g8216 / 8217 train to Chifeng City to promote his agricultural products. Since the opening and operation of the high-speed railway, it is common for farmers and enterprises like Liu Maolin to take high-speed rail to sell their products.
Jianping County is located in the west of Liaoning Province, which has been the only way to enter the grassland in the north since ancient times. The rich millet, adzuki bean and buckwheat are rated as national geographical indication protection products. The Niuheliang Hongshan cultural site is a miracle of human civilization comparable with the ancient Egyptian pyramids, and is known as "the dawn of Oriental civilization". However, due to the backward transportation, the economic development of this beautiful county has been unsatisfactory, and it is a poverty-stricken county at the provincial level.
"Before the opening of Jianping station, it took eight hours for Jianping County to go to Shenyang, and more than three hours to get to Chifeng. All the time was wasted on the road." Liu Maolin said with a smile, "now I take the high-speed rail to Chifeng to do business, and I can come back that day." After the opening of the Karachi high-speed railway, it took less than 1 hour from Jianping to Chifeng and less than 2 hours to Shenyang. The round-trip on the same day is no longer a problem.
Thanks to the dividends brought by high-speed rail, Jianping County has vigorously developed "courtyard economy" and built many farmyards into small bases for the production and cultivation of local special products. The government not only encourages production, but also helps to contact sales channels. Liu Maolin is the beneficiary of this project. More than half a month after the opening of the high-speed rail, his agricultural products have been sold to supermarkets in Kazuo, Chaoyang and Beipiao. In Liu Maolin's words, high-speed rail brings not only benefits but also hope. He sees hope for his family to live a good life.
At 9:44, Liu Maolin boarded the train to Chifeng with the crowd. The train carries him and the passengers all the way forward, through the city, across the station, to the destination, and even more to the happy tomorrow.
