On October 14, 2023, the United Front Work Department of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region reported on its recent efforts to enhance collective economic development and improve living conditions in Liangxing Village, located in Long’an County, Nanning. The department has effectively leveraged its extensive connections within the united front to provide targeted support for the village.
Liangxing Village began cultivating the distinct “Sunlight Rose” grapes in 2019, with guidance from the United Front Work Department and local working teams. Experts from the Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences have been invited regularly to advise on vineyard management and care. As a result, the village’s annual grape production has reached approximately 100,000 pounds, generating an average yearly income of 513,000 yuan.
Furthermore, the United Front Work Department has mobilized various organizations, including the New Social Stratum People’s Association of Guangxi and the Association of Non-Party Intellectuals, to undertake consumption support initiatives. In 2024, these efforts are projected to help Liangxing Village sell around 2,120 pounds of its signature grapes.
In addition to economic advancements, the United Front Work Department is also committed to improving the living environment in rural areas. They collaborated with Guangxi Huahuan Design Group to create a development plan aimed at enhancing the village’s infrastructure and overall appearance. New sector professionals have been appointed as consultants for rural revitalization, providing strategic advice on the village’s construction and development.
In 2023, the Guangxi Guangcai Charity Promotion Association invested 979,000 yuan in five projects to upgrade the living environment in Liangxing Village, yielding significant improvements to the local ecological landscape.
While supporting Liangxing Village’s distinctive industries and enhancing its rural appearance, the United Front Work Department actively promotes the “Tongxin” scholarship program. They have mobilized various representatives from the united front to advocate for educational development in designated support villages. Partnerships with companies such as Guangxi Yuntian Industrial Group, the Guangxi Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and Guangxi Chenyi Law Firm led to a donation of 120,000 yuan in “Tongxin” scholarships, benefiting 35 financially disadvantaged university students in the village and contributing to the revitalization of rural education.
