Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

With the smooth development of cooperation with neighboring villages, the cultural product market in Cuigu Village has gradually regained its former prosperity, and with the joint efforts of both sides, the market share has further expanded.

However, Wang Dashan was not satisfied with this. He always looked into the distance, thinking about the long-term development direction of Cuigu Village in the future.

On this day, the sun was exceptionally bright, shining on every inch of land in Cui Gu Village, as if covering the entire village with a layer of golden coat.

Wang Dashan arrived at the village cultural square early in the morning. This is a place for villagers to relax and have fun, and it is also the venue for various cultural activities in the village.

At this moment, many villagers are doing morning exercises in the square, and children are laughing and playing nearby, full of vitality and energy.

Wang Dashan stood in the center of the square, looking at the scene in front of him, but he was thinking in his heart how to further enhance the cultural influence of Cuigu Village.

At this time, Lao Zhang came over. He was the old party secretary of the village and also a mentor and helpful friend to Wang Dashan.

"Dashan, you're here so early."

Old Zhang greeted Wang Dashan with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, good morning. I was thinking that although our village's cultural brand has gained a certain degree of popularity, it can still be done better."

Wang Dashan said seriously.

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, I have been thinking about this. Our village has such rich cultural resources. We can't just limit them to the local area. We have to find a way to let more people know about it."

Wang Dashan's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle Zhang, I think so too. I plan to organize a large-scale cultural festival and invite people from surrounding areas to participate in it to showcase the traditional culture and modern development achievements of our Cuigu Village. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Lao Zhang praised it repeatedly: "This is a good idea! Holding a cultural festival will not only allow more people to know our village, but also attract more tourists and investment, which will definitely be of great help to the development of the village."

After getting Lao Zhang's approval, Wang Dashan became more determined to hold a cultural festival.

He returned to the village office and immediately convened a meeting of village cadres and members of the cultural heritage group to discuss the specific plan for the cultural festival.

"Fellow villagers, I have gathered you here today to discuss holding a large-scale cultural festival. Our village has made some achievements in cultural construction in recent years, and it is time to show our achievements to the outside world. Please share your ideas."

Wang Dashan looked at everyone, his eyes full of anticipation.

Everyone expressed their opinions and suggestions. Some said that a traditional handicraft exhibition should be held to let more people know about Cui Gu Village's weaving, tiger-head shoe making and other skills; some said that folk performances should be organized, such as dragon and lion dances, mountain song duets, etc., to show the unique style of the village; others said that a food festival should be held to let tourists taste authentic country food.

After some heated discussions, the plan for the cultural festival gradually took shape.

Wang Dashan made a detailed division of labor for each task to ensure that each link could proceed smoothly.

In the following days, the whole village became busy.

Craftsmen carefully made handicrafts for the exhibition, villagers actively rehearsed folk performances, and women were busy preparing various delicacies.

While preparing for the cultural festival, Wang Dashan encountered a problem - lack of funds.

Holding such a large-scale cultural festival requires a huge investment of funds, but the village’s finances are limited and cannot bear all the expenses.

Wang Dashan was very worried about this, as he knew that the cultural festival could not be held smoothly if the funding problem was not resolved.

Seeing Wang Dashan looking worried all day, Xiulan said distressedly, "Dashan, don't worry too much. Let's think of a solution together. How about we mobilize the villagers to donate money?"

Wang Dashan shook his head and said, "It's not easy for the villagers. They have paid a lot for the development of the village over the years. I don't want them to pay any more. I will think of other ways."

So, Wang Dashan began to run around seeking support from the outside world.

He first applied for financial support from the county's cultural department and introduced in detail the significance and plan of holding the cultural festival in Cuigu Village.

The leaders of the cultural department spoke highly of the cultural construction achievements of Cuigu Village and expressed that they would consider providing certain financial support.

Then, Wang Dashan found some successful people in the village who were doing business outside, and told them about the village’s development status and plans to hold a cultural festival.

These successful people have expressed their willingness to contribute to the development of their hometowns and to donate generously.

With everyone's joint efforts, the funding problem was finally solved.

As the cultural festival approaches, the whole village is immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

The square is decorated with lights and colorful flags, and is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Finally, the day of the opening of the cultural festival arrived.

Early in the morning, people from surrounding areas came one after another, and Cui Gu Village suddenly became lively.

At the cultural festival, the traditional handicraft exhibition attracted the attention of many tourists.

The exquisite woven handicrafts, lifelike tiger-head shoes, quaint wood carvings, etc. make people praise the traditional handicrafts of Cui Gu Village.

The folk performances pushed the atmosphere of the cultural festival to a climax. The wonderful performances of dragon and lion dances won rounds of applause, and the melodious duets of folk songs made people intoxicated.

At the food festival, a variety of authentic country delicacies satisfy the tourists' appetites and make them linger.

Wang Dashan moved among the crowd, looking at the lively scene before him, his heart filled with joy and pride.

He knew that all this was inseparable from the efforts and contributions of every villager.

During the cultural festival, Wang Dashan also met many cultural figures and entrepreneurs from all over the country. They showed great interest in Cuigu Village's cultural development model and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Cuigu Village.

After the successful conclusion of the cultural festival, Cui Gu Village’s popularity and influence have been greatly enhanced.

More and more tourists come here, and the village’s tourism industry has ushered in a new peak of development.

At the same time, cooperation with the outside world has also brought more development opportunities to Cuigu Village. Some companies have invested in and built new cultural industry projects, further promoting the economic development of the village.

While the economy was developing, Wang Dashan did not forget the village's education.

He knows very well that education is the hope for the future development of the village.

So, he actively sought support from higher authorities, expanded and renovated the village school, and improved teaching conditions.

He also invited some outstanding teachers to teach in the village, improving the quality of teaching.

Over time, Cui Gu Village has undergone tremendous changes.

The once dilapidated village now looks brand new, with wide cement roads leading to the doorsteps of every household and new buildings rising from the ground.

The people in the village live a prosperous life and are full of smiles. The whole village is filled with an atmosphere of harmony and happiness.

On this day, Wang Dashan and Xiulan came to the back mountain of the village.

This was a place they used to come often. Standing here, one could overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Cui Valley Village.

Looking at the prosperous scene before him, Wang Dashan was filled with emotion.

"Xiu Lan, look at how wonderful our village is now. Although the journey has been full of hardships, it is all worth it."

Wang Dashan said softly.

Xiulan leaned on Wang Dashan's shoulder and said, "Yes, this is the result of your leading everyone's efforts. I believe that the future of our village will be even better."

Wang Dashan looked into the distance, his eyes firm and full of hope: "I also believe that as long as we unite as one and keep working hard, the future of Cuigu Village will be even brighter."

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cuigu Village is striding towards a better future.

With their diligence and wisdom, they are writing a magnificent chapter of rural revitalization, bringing new vitality to this ancient land.
