Xiongxian county, part of Baoding city in Hebei Province, has always felt the presence of the capital in a special way.
Every time there is an important meeting in the capital (such as the two sessions in March), small factories in Xiongxian are forced to shut down immediately, with violators facing seals, arrests, closures and even power cuts. The village rubbish also can’t burn, the village committee hired a person specially, guard beside rubbish heap to watch, 100 yuan a day.
Everyone, it seems, is used to being on call for the capital.
This time, the capital’s order has gone even further – the entire county will be affected, and no one can expect work to resume anytime soon.
boiling
The secret work is done well enough, xiongxian county government civil servants were also in the afternoon of the meeting was informed of the new district news, were told together: “Come on, this Qingming festival is not a holiday, come back to work!” On April 3rd alone, the county government office received 18 batches of journalists.
On April 1, 6 o ‘clock in the evening, the Xinhua News Agency released the first news: the central committee of the communist party of China, issued by the notice of the State Council, decided to set up the hebei male Ann district, xiong county, hebei province, let, AnXin three counties and the surrounding area of the city, has been described as “following the shenzhen special economic zone and pudong new area in Shanghai and a national significance of the new city, is one thousand years, the affairs of state.”
The whole xiongxian suddenly immersed in a boiling, it seems that anyone can make a speech on the New Deal. “From now on, the license plates will have to be changed,” a driver told his passenger cheerfully. “We’ll have to change the male characters first!”
The county became crowded, hotels began to charge more, a reporter from Beijing, looking everywhere? The whole county couldn’t get a room and ended up spending the night in a bath center. The streets are jammed with cars with foreign license plates, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangzhou… Fortunately, more than a decade ago, a county party secretary named Yang Wenyuan made a drastic change, replacing the county’s pot-holed roads with six – and eight-lane, spacious horses. The sudden influx of traffic didn’t bring the town to a complete standstill — it was also, in a way, a demonstration of its potential to become a secondary capital.
This is not the first time xiongxian has had its moment of glory.
During the Warring States Period, it was the northern boundary of The State of Yannan and Zhao. Often disturbed by the northern mountain rong, Marquis Huan of Yan once moved the capital from the area around the southern second Ring Road of today’s Beijing to here. In The Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao contended, and at last he was defeated and burned himself here. In the Song Dynasty, it was an important pass to guard against khitan’s attack, called “Wabaoguan pass”, together with Yijin Pass and Yukou Pass, known as “Three passes”. It was a place that soldiers would contend for…
This is not the first time xiongxian has been chosen by history, but it is the first time for this generation to see their hometown chosen.
A member of Mijiazhuang Village? Uncle, heard the news of the construction of xiongan New area, the next day to go? Xinhua bookstore, want to buy chairman Zhang hang like home. When I went to see him, the chairman seemed to be sold out — he had been greeted by too many happy people.
“Chairman good ah, we xiongxian also into a big city!” “Chairman good ah, we xiongxian also into a big city!”
real-estate
Wang Lei will graduate from Hebei University of Economics and Business this year. He wants to develop in a big city like Beijing, but the housing price of tens of thousands of yuan has become a problem. As soon as the news of the new area came down, my father called him, “Come back to Xiongxian!”
The house seems to be the biggest burden for young people to go to the big city, but also the fat meat that investors compete for. So that the Xiongxian Public security Bureau specifically sent out a car, the car hung a loudspeaker loop playing “house is used to live, not to fry…” Around a few busy spots in the county.
In response to the speculation, some people boarded the expressway overnight, driving from Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, and the expressway intersection was blocked layer by layer. People tell stories of a boss who bought eight floors with $72 million in cash. Who said? Clear news true or false, but in mind? Planning your own hand? Chip: a clothing store? The board has a 200 square meter house, his asking price in the mind is 6 million, according to xiongxian before the house price, this price fully inflated 10 times.
Real estate speculation group completely disrupted the rhythm of the town, the second day of the New Deal, the sales office was affixed with a seal, specifically to release local business information “Xiongxian People weekly” was told, can no longer send the message to sell the house, the office facade used for publicity of the two “housing” word are torn down, leaving two pieces of light? The metope. The real estate agent next door has also been closed down. Everything in the building has been removed, and there is no sign left. Only the word “loan” can be seen vaguely from the accumulation of ash.
This does not stop the sale of houses, and even if it does, people are beginning to sign private agreements, waiting for them to be transferred as soon as the freeze is lifted. Wang qian started a part-time job as a real estate agent half a month ago, and the timing was right: within days of the new policy’s launch, he sold three apartments, taking 1.5 percent of each, and pocketing nearly 100, 000 yuan in less than 100 hours. His job as a studio apprentice was to repair 1,000 photos a day, and the boss offered him 1,000 yuan a month.
Zhang Jie felt the housing price was crazy for the first time. After saving money for more than ten years, she finally saved enough money for 300,000 yuan this year. She had planned to collect the debts from outside and pay in full to buy a house in the county town on Tomb-sweeping Day. When the news was announced on April 1, April Fool’s Day in the West, Zhang’s first reaction was, “The country is pulling my leg!”
Of course, no one joked with her. Her house looked like a soap-bubble, and when she reached for it, it broke with a snap.
The invisible hand
In recent days, Li Wei has received several waves of visitors. That the news of the new area, she was very happy at first, but not two days out of trouble, first heard that the real estate speculators came, a square meter to get into ten thousand, twenty thousand, and then heard that not to let people stay, all have to leave their hometown, “every family make chaos.
“The state will not be bad to everyone,” Wang Qian told him two aunt, two aunt is a village of Ge Ge Zhuang, Xiongxian county, heard a variety of rumors over the past few days, there is a firm news that the demolition of houses according to the account of compensation, one account of compensation a set. She had to move her daughter’s hukou out of the county town with her hukou, so that they could count two accounts and compensate for the two apartments. Of course, the account has been frozen.
With the exception of property sales and hukou, marriage has been frozen and all possible avenues for speculation have been frozen. Everyone’s life is disrupted. In The village of Ge Ge, there are several half-built houses, with bricks and gravel still piled on the ground, and the cement truck parked beside them, its cement dried into blocks, and the frame of the half-built house standing on the ground. Time seems to stand still here.
Wang Huan, a shop assistant in Xiongxian county, took advantage of the Qingming Holiday to drive back to his hometown. When he came back, he was gambled on the road — a 20-minute journey that had been stuck in traffic for more than two hours. What Wang Dislikes most about life in a big city is the fast pace, pressure and traffic jams. She has been to Shenzhen, where people walk faster than xiongxian people, more than 12 o ‘clock in the evening there are people working overtime. These days, outsiders flooded into Xiongxian county, she thought those people “blah blah blah”, the whole city followed the hustle and bustle. She also didn’t want to move into the building, which was “very crowded” compared to her yard.
Wang Li has been working in Baiyangdian for 12 years. In 2007, Baiyangdian was established as a national 5A tourist scenic spot. Taking advantage of the upsurge of the policy, her farmhouse also attracted a large number of guests and her whole family finally lived a rich life. The New Deal, the country gave each person 30,000 yuan rental fee, go out to rent a house, when the time comes, all these farmhouse have to tear down, move out together. She didn’t want to leave, but the map in her phone had been updated to the Xiongan New Area.
People have been discussing “how to compensate the residents of xiongan New Area” on Baidu Tieba, which is filled with a number of indistishable photos that claim to be government documents. Some people say that the government will buy the land, a square meter only to give a few thousand yuan, some people say that the next village land 200,000 people are not willing to buy, must be 500 thousand to sell, and some people say that xiongan will become a “dumb city”, all people will not let live.
Until a policy is sufficiently authoritative, the only option for worried people is to make their way through the murky government documents.
The rules of the small county
The town has its own rules: the street vendors in the county plaza are fine, but any further action would be outlawed; If the traffic police caught you driving out of your car without a car check for years, you can get by with 300 yuan in red envelopes. Guo lei, who dropped out of high school to take a part-time job, spends his time not playing games and cartoons but practicing sanshou day after day: strength is more important than anything else in a small town.
Guo Lei joined the four gang, one of the largest with more than 80 people, the most important in the gang is the brother of friendship: once Guo Lei out accidentally hit a person, each other clamoring for him, as a result, he put the message in the group of the brotherhood, less than 5 minutes, there are more than 20 brothers came, carrying a machete and bar.
With the new area under construction, Guo hopes that “we will have a temple like the hall, and it won’t go away,” but when asked what to do about cracking down on mafia-like groups, he dims the subject.
Last year, 33 people from Xiongxian county were admitted to the “985 and 211 project” universities, of which the best went to East China Normal University. Li Wei began to worry, xiongxian has become a big city, their children’s competition is not greater? As more excellent children come to study here, the competition for the college entrance examination must be more fierce. Still have own husband, the decoration team that managed more than 10 years, occupied xiong Xian to decorate the majority share of the market very not easy, wait for more excellent decoration company settled in Xiong ‘an, the husband still can receive how many live?
Zhu Lili, the owner of a nail salon, was one of the lucky ones. In March, she bought a large apartment in the county town, covering 200 square meters for 300,000 yuan, paying in full. After the introduction of the New Deal, someone suggested that she take advantage of the hot house by 31 square meters sold, to buy 11 square meters of sanya house. In this way, the whole family can not only move to sanya with better scenery, but also have millions of extra cash in hand. Indeed, one of the store’s regular customers sold his house for $4 million and became a “rich man”.
But Zhu Lili didn’t want to move, so she wanted to stay in Xiongxian, in her familiar hometown. After I moved away, I had nothing but money. “Where am I going to do business?” someone asked at the Post bar of the Xiongan New Area. I had one, and then I lost it? Who will tell me?” Of course, no one could answer him.
Mean overrating oneself
Under the planning of the new policy, institutions that do not function as the capital may move to xiongan New Area. Xiongxian is positioned as a high-tech zone, and there will be many high-tech industries springing up in the future.
The notice was already in: on April 20, all the small factories closed so quickly that xiongxian passed along a limericky poem: “For shipment, let the air run around. When the phone rings, shut it down…”
There are about 4,000 plastic enterprises in Xiongxian county, accounting for 70% of GDP and driving more than 50% of the residents’ employment. Among them, the small workshop-type family enterprises accounted for the majority, transportation, crushing, granulating, shaping…… Every village in Xiongxian county will get a piece of the action.
Nearly the entire village of Bayang Zhuang lives on plastic, and it is said that their village is in the first phase of a demolition project. Because of the plastic business, every family in the village can have three or five hundred thousand water a year, but the loss of land does not allow business, the villagers feel as if they cannot live.
In Ge Ge Zhuang, there is a person specialized in garbage sorting, loading and picking up, this is a good business, “70 or 80 years old people can come out to make money. The collected garbage is sent to the next process: crushing. The worker in charge of crushing picks up the packed construction garbage and throws it into the crusher. , pure? A layer of beads of sweat hangs over the workers’ heads, and the dust from the grinder is so severe that a layer of white ash accumulates in their ears. They can get 80 yuan from morning till night.
Pelleting, blowing film and, finally, window frames, water pipes, prefabricated panels and all the other plastics that might become the new plastics? Tubes, bags and balloons.
Chen biao has his own plastic pipe factory, which invested more than 1 million yuan to make it two years ago. So far, it has produced 2,000 tons of plastic pipes a year, earning more than $200 a ton, of which the workers are paid half and the rest nearly $100 in their own pockets. After two years of hard work, the policy came down, and his first reaction was: “I’m screwed. I can’t do it again.”
Xiongxian Public security Bureau specially sent out a car, the car hung a loudspeaker loop playing “house is used to live, not to fry…” Xiongxian Public security Bureau specially sent out a car, the car hung a loudspeaker loop playing “house is used to live, not to fry…”
What can be done?
The village of Ge Ge zhuang in Xiongxian County? Fan Zhongliang, after hearing the news, called the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Environmental Protection and told them, “90% of the demolition waste in Beijing has been transported to Our Ge Ge Zhuang village. Now we have been informed that on April 20, all the small factories have to stop production. Our village has to run every day. Beijing 30 40 car, my son is doing this, a car is seven or eight tons, if we? Yeah, you guys? What about the garbage in Beijing?”
The bureau of Environmental Protection dealt with him in a few bureaucratic terms.
He also wanted to write a letter to The State Council and offer advice to the country: there are so many tombs in the fields of Xiongxian county that nine generations of people have been buried in the tombs of his own family alone. More than 20 tombs have been built together, and more than half of the land in the village has been occupied by tombs, which will greatly affect the construction of the new area. He suggested using the big hole dug and building an underground cemetery as a waste product.
Before the letter was written, he decided to lead by example and told his son, “When I die, you will burn me to ashes and scatter all the way”, which was already quite advanced for the xiongxian people who had been resettled.
In Shuangtang Village, Xiongxian County, there is a special custom called “putting boxes”, which dates back to the Ming Dynasty. After arranging medicine lines and fireworks, people put them into boxes, set up suspension boxes, and lit the boxes. After being lit, the medicine lines in the boxes fall off and burn layer by layer, so that the multi-layer images can be illusioned. These visions, drawn one by one, were lighted by the flames of the fire, and then the flames which lighted them burned them up again.
