From "three hopes" to "four Meizhou", look at the economic development of Meizhou!
Meizhou, the name, is familiar to China people, including overseas Chinese, both inside and outside Guangdong Province. Meizhou, hometown of overseas Chinese, hometown of culture and hometown of football, was once favored by one halo after another. After 25 years of reform and opening up, brother cities have entered a well-off society and stepped into modern life. However, Meizhou still can't get rid of the reality of poverty, and the hometown folks are still struggling for three meals a day and food and clothing for one night.
(1the "three hopes" strategy at the end of the 1990s turned into "three disappointments".
(1) I hope it's in the mountains. Meizhou is a mountainous area with "8 mountains 1 water 1 cultivated land". The traditional peasant thought of "relying on mountains and relying on water to draw water" has been used by decision makers to develop Meizhou economy. Who doesn't know that now is an era without work, wealth, business and life? Can male ploughing and female weaving make China people well-off? Up to now, the mountain in Meizhou is still that mountain, and hope has turned into disappointment!
(2) The hope lies in the road, which was originally the wise policy of decision makers. Did you know the truth when you were in kindergarten? But until today, the expressway directly to the provincial capital Guangzhou has not been opened to traffic, and the other 20 brothers have been busy for a long time, and their financial resources are rolling in. So everyone can understand why Meizhou is so poor!
(3) I hope that the outside world will carry out reform and opening up, attract investment and build nests to attract phoenix. But after 25 years, Meizhou's investment and export-oriented economy can only be said to be rare, but many overseas Chinese have built many schools, hospitals, bridges and highways for their hometown. Why are these overseas Chinese in Meizhou willing to donate blood to their hometown instead of hematopoiesis? This has both hardware factors (transportation and location) and software factors (quality of officials and business environment). So "hope is outside" is an empty slogan, or it can be understood as why Meizhou people are always "wandering outside", becoming "Hakkas" and then becoming "new Hakkas"!
(2) In 2003, the new Meizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government realized that the previous "three hopes" had taken too many detours and put forward the "four Meizhou" strategy of opening Meizhou, industrial Meizhou, ecological Meizhou and cultural Meizhou.
(1) Kaimei. If Meizhou wants to develop, it must look at the world, innovate ideas, seize opportunities and follow the trend. As a result, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea in various counties and cities, each showing its magical powers and accelerating the pace of attracting investment. Slogans such as "Return Project", "Family Project", "Go Out and Bring in", "Overseas Chinese Brand" and "China Meizhou" have come one after another. I really think that spring has come in Meizhou. Hakka folks at home and abroad are happy, and their hometown has finally opened up and taken off ... Two years later, Meizhou is still "tying the pig's tail" in Guangdong.
(2) Industry Meizhou's new leadership finally woke up and realized that it was the only way out to learn from the Pearl River Delta to vigorously develop industry, so one industrial park after another, high-tech industrial parks started vigorously, "will undertake the industrial transfer in the Pearl River Delta region" and "actively integrate into the Pan-Pearl River Delta economic circle". Two years later, the industrial park in Meizhou is still overgrown with weeds or dusty, and Meizhou people still leave their homes to make a living in the distance. The original little brother Heyuan, a modern factory building, and the rumble of machinery have truly realized the "late-developing Heyuan", and the original pursuers have become pacesetters. Jiangxi, Fujian and other neighboring provinces have also achieved fruitful results in the Pan-Pearl Fair, while Meizhou can only sing high-profile slogans behind others' asses.
(3) Ecological Meizhou. It is gratifying that Meizhou has finally entered the excellent tourist city of China this year (note: there are 18 cities in Guangdong, and Heyuan was approved in 2003). Why does Meizhou always walk behind Guangdong? Heyuan tourism has developed vigorously in recent years, and Lvwan Lake has become the first choice for leisure tourism in the Pearl River Delta. Heyuan has changed from the poorest city to the back garden of the Pearl River Delta and a vibrant new city.
(4) Culture Meizhou, Meizhou has advocated education since ancient times, knowing books and understanding. The hometown of culture is not imagined, but 10 of the students want to come back to the United States? What can Meizhou provide for these students? Meizhou's primary education has always been in the forefront of the province, but the loss of teachers is serious. How far can Meizhou's education go? Meizhou is a gathering place for Hakka people and a place to develop Hakka culture. But can the economic depression in Meizhou make Hakka culture go out of China and into the world? Can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of promoting Hakka culture?
