Research On Poverty Relief And Development In The Dulong River Township In Gongshan County Of Yunnan Province

Derung has been living on the border between China and Burma since many generations.It's located in the valley of Derung River in Gongshan Derung Nu uutonomous county of Yunnan province,with a population of about 7000 people,and adjacent to the north of Burma.A few scattered in Vichy County of Yunnan Province and Zayu county of Tibet.Dulong River township is the only inhabited area of Derung.Due to remoteness,harsh natural conditions and low social development,it has relatively fallen behind other ethnic minorities in economic and social development.The causes of poverty are complex,and poverty relief remains costly and difficult.As an ethnic minority group of "the directly-entering-socialism",cross-border and less population,Derung poverty has attacted high attention of the party and state leaders,and Derung is the forefront of the implementation of the western frontier minority assistance policy and the focus of Yunnan province's poverty relief.Especially “the whole village to promote the whole minority to help” has achieved remarkable results during the 12 th five-year plan period,praised by the media as “Dulong jiang Model”.With the implementation of “the whole village to promote the whole minority to help”,Dulong River township built some new buildings,have 4G network and new road.It rapidly realized an industrial restructuring and a huge economic growth,peasants' incomes and living standards have been greatly improved.The closed mountainous areas along the border,with poor infrastructure construction and low social development,have been promptly stepped into the modern society with tremendous changes.However,for a small closed society,the driving force behind the historical changes lies not only in the style of life,but also in the culture and concept by a broader meaning.With the strategy of precise poverty relief and continuous modernization,the knowledge and the values of Derung has been changed in the collision of traditional ideas and modernization.People here are experiencing the process of modern adaptation from old style to new modernization way.The situation of maladjustment was manifested through some specific social issues and polarized social stratification.This is an inevitable issue in their rapid growth towards modernization in the poor areas of ethnic groups.The change of material affects the cognitive system,and the cognitive change acts on the economic result.The industrial development of Dulong River township is marked a very strong local brand by the particularity of society and concept change,and the local peasant production has a special vitality.Under the leadership of grass-roots government,the villagers have explored a suitable way for the development of local industry,the model of “New Small Farmers”.With the change of ideas,the villagers choose to plant their most familiar amomum tsao-ko,giving modern values to local elements.The grass-roots government guides small farmers to product with modern production and management technology,and makes them connect with modern agriculture.The model of “New Small Farmers” based on this process is an agricultural development path which is suitable for local conditions.After more than 60 years of “direct transition” assistance,the “material poverty” in the Dulong River township has been resolved,but the development of ideas has not fully kept pace with the material leap,and it has been highlighted as an inadaptability in the process of modernization,and cultural,educational,organizational construction are also relatively weak,“spiritual poverty” has not been completely solved.Therefore,in addition to continuing to improve the “New Small Farmers” model,innovating ideas for poverty alleviation through tourism,and establishing a modern characteristic industrial system in future precision poverty alleviation work;it is also necessary to guide the Derung people to enhance their cultural awareness and promote cultural reproduction;deepen education reform and continue to increase investment in basic and vocational education;implement quality education and ideas to help the poor and stimulate the endogenous power of the masses' development;we will improve the organization of grass-roots organizations,implement policies and co-promote efforts comprehensively,coordinate and maximize the effectiveness of various support policies.Based on the characteristics of the Derung population with few populations and inhabitants,under the strong investment and support of the country,the construction and implementation of the poverty relief policies of the Dulong River township are highly controllable and typical.With the further improvement of accurate poverty alleviation in the future,through the support of agriculture,tourism,culture,intelligence,and ambitions,we will be able to build Dulong River township from the original “secret environment” of the past into a rich,civilized,and harmonious modern beautiful village,accomplishes the “China experience” of poverty relief.
