1In March, 975, Li Guikang, as a young man in his twenties, took the post of Party Secretary and Director of Revolutionary Committee of Humen Commune. At that time, "class struggle is the key link" in politics and "grain is the key link" in economy, and the business model was planned production, collective dispatch and collective distribution. Li Guikang learned from the "three links" (eating, living and working with farmers) that although Humen is a land of plenty, its productivity is backward, its industrial structure is single, its collective economy is weak, its farmers are not rich, and even quite a few of them are very difficult. In Xinlian Village, Humen, collective funds can't afford a medium-sized tractor. Li Guikang personally went to the Dongguan county government and sincerely expressed the practical difficulties of this reservoir resettlement village. Mo Ganqin, the county magistrate, immediately allocated a tractor to Xinlian Village for free. All the villagers cheered when the tractor entered the village. Li Guikang discussed with the village cadres that the land around the reservoir is really not suitable for growing rice, so it is better to grow peanuts. Li Guikang and the farmers calculated that the value of an acre of peanuts is two to three times that of rice, peanut seedlings can also improve the land, and peanut chaff after oil pressing can be fed to pigs. Li Guikang reported this idea to the county leaders who were squatting in Humen. After acquiescing, he immediately replanted peanuts in a 200-mu rice field, which resulted in a bumper harvest and a significant increase in the distribution of farmers. In this way, from point to area, a peasant production movement of land reorganization and replanting, which broke through the constraints of planned economy, was gradually launched. Some low-lying areas that have been flooded for a long time have been turned into fish ponds, and fish, pigs and ducks have been combined to form an ecological chain and food chain. Moreover, sugar cane has been planted on the land with deep mud near the sea, and farmers have gained good income from the land. But in the era of planned economy and "grain as the key link", it is not easy to do these things well, especially for the leadership. In addition to the dispute over land restructuring, there are disputes over farmers' sideline business, disputes over village-run processing enterprises, and so on.

There is a farmer named Chen Lin in Beizha Village, Humen. They took part in collective labor while keeping bees in their spare time, which was severely criticized by the cadres of the resident commune. The reason is that private income is a "capitalist tail" and should be completely cut off. Beekeeping is not a legitimate business, but a private business. Taking part in collective labor is "absenteeism". Li Guikang learned that this farmer is very capable and diligent, which does not affect his participation in collective labor. In fact, the farmer was in a state of semi-unemployment at that time. Li Guikang strongly supported beekeeping farmers at the commune party Committee meeting, so some team members complained about him.

If the Taiping Handbag Factory introduced by Humen was the first town-run "Three Supplements" enterprise in China from August 65438 to August 0978, it can be said that the Longyan Village wig factory introduced by Humen was the first village-run "Three Supplements" enterprise in China. Now Humen Town is a merger of Humen Commune and Taiping Town. The town can engage in "three supplies and one supplement". Can we do it in the village? This has caused great controversy for some time. At the request of compatriots in Hong Kong, Zhang, secretary of the Party branch of Longyan Village in Humen, held a seminar in the Party branch and asked him to go back to his hometown to run a wig factory. As a result, it was unanimously opposed and criticized by the leaders of the commune's "resident film" (Longan and Beizha belong to the same piece) on the grounds that Zhang Xi's family was poor and could not let the dutiful son and grandson of the landlord class come back to exploit the poor and middle peasants; Secondly, promoting Mao Zedong Thought's position cannot be turned into a factory building; The third longan village is a red flag of the agricultural school, and the black flag of capitalism cannot be inserted. At that time, Li Guikang was attending the reading class of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in Guangzhou, and the young branch secretary was greatly wronged. With tears in his eyes, he traveled a long way to Guangzhou to find Li Guikang and asked for leave to come back to deal with this matter.

The economy of Longyan village is dominated by agriculture, and agriculture is also engaged in single-season rice. In addition, some sweet potatoes and cassava were planted on the hillside. The economy is very backward. The distribution of a major labor force in the village is only 300 yuan every year. If the factory is set up according to the cooperation contract, a farmer who enters the factory will pay 300 yuan a month. One month is equal to one year's income, which is a considerable income, and farmers hope to use this income to get rid of poverty.

At the right time, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was successfully held, and the plenary session decided to shift the focus of the whole party's work and the attention of the people of the whole country to socialist modernization. Li Guikang held a meeting of the commune party committee, organized and studied the spirit of the plenary session, and debated the establishment of a wig factory in Longyan Village. Resident leaders insist on the above three reasons, but most party committees believe that in the past, we engaged in political movements, class struggles and single economy for a long time, and farmers could not be rich. Now we have the spirit of the Third Plenary Session. Why can't we break through the old ideological shackles? Some party committees said that Zhang Xi's bad family background was a matter of the previous generation, and he came back to do business, not sabotage. You can't get poorer and poorer in agricultural schools. There is a way to get rich. Why can't we try? After two days of discussion, Li Guikang concentrated the opinions of most people and insisted that Longyan Village cooperate with Hong Kong businessmen to set up a wig factory. Today, Longyan village has established more than 30 foreign-funded enterprises/kloc-0, and the social security system is perfect, and the village appearance has also undergone fundamental changes.

Because of several disputes, Li Guikang's feud with individual party Committee members deepened. For the unity of the team and the overall situation, he asked the county party Committee to transfer him from Humen commune. Later, Li Guikang was transferred to Shatian Commune as Party Secretary.

Shatian Commune is located on the bank of the Pearl River Estuary, with dense water networks and criss-crossing rivers. Here, Li Guikang still insists on restructuring according to the actual situation. First, plant sugarcane in places that are not suitable for growing rice, so as to achieve a high yield of 10 ton of sugarcane. At that time, rural areas began to engage in contracting, but the county has not yet implemented industrial and commercial contracting. Li Guikang tried to contract a collective restaurant to a farmer, which not only did not lose money, but also gave the commune a fixed income. Due to the weak economy of the commune, Li Guikang mobilized farmers to build roads and bridges, which enabled most natural villages to connect with highways. During my work in Shatian, Comrade Li Jinwei, then secretary of the county party committee, fully affirmed Li Guikang's work. I won the first class merit and was promoted to the first class salary. 1in April, 984, the county party Committee promoted him to the standing Committee of the county party Committee and director of the office.
