Hejiachong: A Red Mountain Village Finds a Green Path to Revitalization

Hejiachong Village in Luoshan, Henan, has leveraged its red revolutionary resources and ecological advantages to explore a path of green development for rural revitalization in recent years. This once revolutionary base area is now attracting more tourists and returning young people by protecting the natural environment, developing teatourism homestays, and promoting特色农产品. The report noted that in the past, the village mainly relied on cutting trees for firewood, but now the local community places greater emphasis on planting greenery, protecting greenery, and using ecology, turning “clear waters and green mountains” into a driving force for development. Returning young people have converted old houses into homestays and helped nearby tea farmers advance the branding of agricultural products, becoming an important source of vitality for the village’s industries. A practice team from Nankai University recently visited Hejiachong, carrying out ecological observation, industry research, and study of red revolutionary history around the nature reserve, while also introducing lowcarbon farming knowledge to local students. The article says that the village combines the inheritance of the Long March spirit with green revitalization, showing a new look in the development of this old revolutionary area.
