演讲题目：打生态特色牌，走农林结合路
内容摘要：
显龙村地处偏僻，自然条件十分落后，春耕秋收，靠天吃饭，一直以来人们的生活十分艰苦。古荣芳看在眼里，急在心上，他意识到，单靠贫瘠的黄土地根本无法致富奔小康，显龙村脱贫的关键在山、希望在林，必须走植树造林这条路。在和支部一班人经过调查后，他清楚地看到了山区雨量充沛、地域辽阔的资源优势，据此制定了“打生态牌、走特色路”的林业发展思路。但同时，他也明白如果没有人进行典型示范并通过林业产业致富，保守的村民们是不会积极响应的，因此，1984年初他带头承包了荒山200多亩，种植杜仲、核桃、花椒等11000余株，在两年间形成了不小的规模，使起初抱观望态度的群众在他身上看到了希望，家家户户开始重视林业，植树造林。
从86年起，在他的带领下全村共计造林56万株，各种林地面积3400多亩，其中经济林1800多亩，户均植树4万株，全村绿化率高达60.5%。林业产业的发展不仅使村容村貌发生了巨大的变化，同时也带动了农业、养殖业等其它产业的发展，2006年全村粮食总量达86万斤，人均占有粮食2100多斤。全村养羊450多只，养牛180头，养猪100多头。人均纯收入比2002年翻了一番。钱袋子鼓了，村民对教育也开始重视起来了，现在全村有中专文化13人，高中文化18人，儿童入学率连续八年达到百分之百。社员感慨到：“我们吃糠喝汤的时候，真的是想都想不到会有今天呀！”

speakers and abstracts of speech
Mr.Gu Rongfang, 41 years old, is the secretary of the Party Committee of Xianlong village, Liangdang County，Gansu province. He was honored as the National Model Worker in 2005. For more than twenty years, he has lead the villagers to plant trees more than 5300mu. Under his leadership, the Xianlong village has stridden forward on the road of getting rich.
Title of the speech: Make friendly ecology as the strategic brand; promote the mutual development of agriculture and forestry industries
Abstract:
Xianlong village is located in a remote countryside with poor natural conditions, the harvest of farming population there has to depend on the weather .Mr. Gu realized that it is impossible for farmers here to get rich merely by developing agriculture on this barren land. The key to shrug off poverty lies in making use of the mountainous topographic features to develop forestry industry. After careful investigation, he and his team members realized that, to get rich, the villagers had to make use of the abundant rainfall and land resources to develop forestry industry, and ultimately to get rich. . So they make this as their strategy. Meanwhile, he knew that if there was no the leading person to demonstrate that, the conservative farmers would not react actively. So, in 1984, he initially leased deserted mountain slopes more than 200mu, and began to plant eucommia ulmoides oliv, walnut tress, etc more than 11000. He benefited from the planting, so other villagers just followed his example.
Under his leadership, the total number of trees planted reaches 560,000, the forest land area is more than 230ha.in which the economic forest area is more than 120ha, and the average number of plants per household is about 40,000. The forest coverage rate is up to 60.5%. The forestation practice has brought great changes to the economic status of the whole village, and promoted the development of related industries. By 2000, the grain output of the village reached 0.43million kg, with an average of 1050kg per capita. The amount of livestock at hand is 450,180, and 100 for sheep, cattle and pigs respectively. When the villagers got rich, they began to give priority to education. Now, there are about 13 people with 2-year college education background, 18 with high –school education background. The enrolment rate for school-age kids is 100%. The villagers now sigh with emotion they have never dreamed of that.
