2018-02-02 15:49:41

  "In previous Yangjiawang, itwas difficultfor peopleto go out; nowadays Yangjiawang is different from what it used to be; the road curves around the mountain and Lane Latecan be seen everywhere; the annual income reaches hundreds of thousands yuan and every family has deposits; the price of citrus this year rises multiple times and the offspring are capable……”

  Yesterday, Qiao Nenghong, a citrus grower of Group Two in Guanzhuangping village, Guizhou town, Zigui County, composed and sang a song with the tune of Nanniwan to celebrate the citrus harvest and praise the happy new life.

  Yangjiawan in the ballad is a small village of Guanzhuangping in the town. In those years, the villagers of Yangjiawan planted ordinary navel oranges. When the fruit wasripe, the villagers usedthe pack baskets and bamboo crates to transport them down from the mountains. Due to the poor quality of fruits and inconvenient traffic, sales in most years were sluggish. Nowadays, the narrow and steep mountain roads in the village have turned into spacious and flat field roads, and the ordinary navel orange with low production and price has been improved into the golden fruit of high-quality and high-yield——Lane Late. Witnessing the changes in his hometown, Qiao Nenghong was inspired and then composed this ballad. (Reporter: He Baoxi; Correspondent: Qiao Junjie)
