Chapter 725 comes to mind
Under the organization of the village committee, a meeting on the future development direction of the village was held. At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions. Some villagers were tempted by commercial interests and felt that they should seize the opportunity to make money quickly; while some villagers adhered to the original intention of inheriting the village culture and firmly opposed excessive commercial development. When the debate was fierce, several elders in the village stood up. They told the story of the ancestors of the Knight Village guarding their homes and inheriting chivalry, reminding everyone not to be blinded by the immediate interests and to leave this precious cultural root for future generations. In the end, the villagers reached a consensus and decided to choose partners who respect the village culture and focus on sustainable development to jointly create a new Knight Village that is both rich and full of cultural heritage.
At this time, Qi Tongwei, who was far away in a foreign country, also heard about the great changes in the village. He once worked hard to lead the village out of poverty and become rich, but later he left for various reasons. Now, his homesickness is getting stronger. When Wu Huifen contacted him and told him about the current situation of the village and everyone's longing for him, his heart was deeply touched. Although Liang Lu was extremely dissatisfied with this and even got angry and tried to stop him from going back, Qi Tongwei's attachment and concern for his hometown were hard to suppress.
After some inner struggle, Qi Tongwei resolutely decided to embark on the road back home. When his figure appeared at the entrance of the village, the whole village was boiling. The partners who had fought side by side with him gathered around him, with tears of excitement and joy in their eyes. The old people held his hands tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Child, you are finally back. The development of the village cannot do without you!" The children looked at this legendary figure curiously, their eyes full of admiration. Qi Tongwei looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar village, with a lot of emotion in his heart. Those days when they had fought together seemed to be just yesterday.
His return also brought new opportunities and ideas to the village. With the experience and connections he had accumulated abroad, he actively participated in the village's development planning and discussed with the villagers how to further expand the industrial chain on the basis of protecting culture. For example, by using the village's natural scenery and martial arts culture, he developed special study tour projects so that more children can experience the charm of the village and learn traditional martial arts and cultural knowledge. At the same time, he introduced advanced agricultural technology, increased the added value of agricultural products, created organic and green agricultural product brands, and promoted the high-quality specialties of the village to a wider market.
Under the leadership of Qi Tongwei, the villagers are more united and are bravely moving towards new goals. They know that there will still be various difficulties and challenges on the road ahead, but as long as they are loyal to their hometown, stick to their culture and yearn for a better life, nothing can stop the progress of the Knight Village.
In order to strengthen the cultural heritage education of the village, the village has also built a chivalrous cultural museum, which displays the village's historical relics, the chivalrous deeds of the ancestors, and traditional farming tools and handicrafts. The school also regularly organizes students to visit and learn, so that children can understand the cultural heritage of the village from an early age and cultivate their cultural pride and sense of responsibility.
At the same time, Xiake Village also actively carries out exchanges and cooperation with surrounding villages to jointly create a rural tourism and cultural circle to achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages.
The children inherited the chivalrous spirit of their ancestors in traditional martial arts performances, and each move was vigorous and powerful; on the stage of the art performance, the villagers showed their happy life with simple songs and cheerful dances; in the calligraphy and painting competition, the works depicting the landscape and human stories of the Xiake Village showed the villagers' love and pride for their hometown. These cultural activities are like a bond that closely connects every villager. Everyone thinks and works together to contribute to the development of the village.
Looking back, the poverty in the past made the villagers fight fiercely for a little bit of profit. At that time, neighbors even spoke ill of each other in order to compete for irrigation water; when dividing land, conflicts often arose because of the division of boundaries. But as the pace of village development gradually accelerated, everyone gradually realized that only unity and cooperation can get rid of the shackles of poverty. When introducing excellent varieties, the villagers learned new technologies together and exchanged planting experiences with each other; to improve the processing technology of agricultural products, everyone worked together to raise funds to purchase equipment; at the trade fair, they worked together to promote the village's products. In the cooperation again and again, the former disputes over interests gradually dissipated, replaced by deep neighborly friendship and a strong sense of belonging to the village.
Looking to the future, the villagers of Xiake Village are full of confidence. They plan to further expand the boundaries of the cultural and creative industry, explore more elements related to Xiake culture, and integrate them into products and tourism projects. Not only should tourists appreciate the external beauty of Xiake Village, but they should also deeply experience the unique cultural connotations here. However, the road to development has never been smooth, and new interest disputes are also quietly growing.
As the village's tourism industry prospers, some villagers see business opportunities in opening specialty shops. However, there are disagreements over the location and product categories of the shops. Some villagers want to open shops at the entrance of the village and other places where tourists must pass, resulting in too many shops and fierce competition; others sell some tourist souvenirs of varying quality in order to reduce costs, which has a negative impact on the reputation of the village. The village has held many meetings to discuss how to regulate business practices and balance the interests of all parties. Everyone expressed their opinions and argued endlessly, and the meetings often came to a deadlock.
Just when the village was struggling with business problems, Qi Tongwei, who was overseas, suddenly sent a message. Many years ago, Qi Tongwei left his hometown to work in the United States in order to seek new development opportunities. During his days in a foreign country, he suffered a lot, but he also gradually gained a foothold with his tenacity and wisdom. Now, he heard that the Knight Village had encountered a bottleneck in its development, and decided to come back to see if he could help.
When Qi Tongwei appeared at the entrance of the village, the villagers were stunned. The young man who used to be young has now become mature and steady, with determination and confidence in his eyes. Wu Huifen also hurried over, with tears of excitement in her eyes. She had been silently following Qi Tongwei's news, and now that they met again, thousands of words came to her mind, but she didn't know where to start. The two just stood there quietly, staring at each other, as if time had stopped.
