4 month 11, Zhang Jia Wan Village, Sangzhi County of bitter bamboo Ping Xiang, vertical ladder
Zhang Jia Wan There are four groups in the village, which are located on the highlands. Because of occlusion, hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the villagers came to live here to escape the bandits. Because of this, there are few outsiders in the village, and the villagers are basically self-supporting and living in an isolated world.
even if isolated from the world, there is no curiosity for young people in the village. There are 398 people in the village, and now there are only 90 left. Only the fashionable posters in the house still have a hint of fashionable taste.
for the outside world, the children in the village also yearn for it. The 14 year old Yu wanted to move out. It's just that the mountain road is too hard to walk. The five words on the wooden wall express his voice, "I want to change the way."

5 year old Liu Dan gazed down at the ladder that hung in the mountains, which is the way for her to go to school. As long as it doesn't rain, she says, "don't be afraid" by walking this ladder. On the other side of Tianmenshan Mountain, the village of Zhang Jia Wan, a village of bitter bamboo, is located on the other side of the Tianmenshan Mountain.
road repair? The resident population is less than 100, but the amount of construction is enormous. Immigration? Many people in the village do not want to lose their dependence on the mountain. In the confrontation with the mountains, Liu Dan has more vision, a flat way to go to school, but also to see the distant scenery.
along the narrow mountain stone road, through the stream and Canyon, on a cliff, placed a wooden ladder, grabbed the wooden ladder to climb up, and entered the village of Zhang Jia Wan, the Tujia nationality of Sangzhi county. Because of the inconvenient transportation, the residents in the village live a life of "isolation".
[b] does not take the ladder to the town for four or five hours [/b]
seven groups of Zhang Jia Wan Village, of which four are together in a higher level, forming an independent high ground. Liu Xingjie, director of the village, said that because of the high ground cliff, since the ancestors started, the two places in the high ground have set up a wooden ladder, which has become a relatively convenient channel for the 4 groups to enter and exit the town. For these four groups, the two wooden ladder is not the only channel, but if the ladder is not taken, it is necessary to climb the rock wall and cost four. It's five hours to go to town.
Liu Xingjie said that unless the flood season of 5 to July creeks flooded the path leading to the village ladder, the elderly and children would walk along the ladder. There are three other groups in the village. The terrain is slightly lower. They do not need to walk the wooden ladder in the town, but it takes two or three hours to go to the town by the mountain road.
[b] villagers are self-sufficient and rarely go out to [/b]
Yang Junxiang, who is 71 years old in the red taro hole group, said her wooden house was repaired in the 80s of last century. Mountain high water far, until now, the village people to repair the house, they still burn their own tiles, cut trees to make wooden boards, make their own windows, only glass on the window, is a block from the town to buy the ladder on the back of the ladder shipped.
the old people said that hundreds of years ago, the grandparents came to live here in order to avoid the bandits, and gradually formed the village of Zhang Jia Wan. The village usually seldom came in. For many years, they had basically maintained a self-sufficient life, except every other time to go to the bazaar and rarely go out.
Yang Junxiang's wife's legs and feet is not convenient, 3 years before the next village, "go to the daughter's relatives", another old man, 4 years ago, was not good to be carried down to see a doctor, after the village, Yang Junxiang said, in addition to working, the permanent people here, the village is not much, basically in the "isolated from the world" Life.
[b]5 years old children also have to climb ladder [/b]
children living in the "highlands" of the village, and the two steps should be taken to and from school.
Liu Dan is 5 years old this year, in the town's preschool. After school on Friday noon, Liu Dan's father took her three wheeled vehicle to the stone mountain crossing and placed the tricycle on the nearby villagers' house. Liu Dan followed his father, skillfully following his father's moss stone, overturning the wet path of the steep wall and coming to the ladder.
Liu Dan threw his bag to his father, and she did not wait for his father to go up, and she grabbed a wooden ladder with one hand, and dad cried, slowly, slowly, and Liu Dan said, "no fear" as long as it did not rain. Yu Xinxin,
7, slipped from the ladder and pulled behind his mother when it rained and climbed a ladder. Every time it rains, Xinxin goes to the ladder and asks her mother to coax up for a long time before she is willing to climb up. Yang Junxiang,
71, said that in the village, people from all walks of life came to school by this way. Now, families with better families in the villages have been renting houses to accompany their children to school.
[all sorts of attempts to try]
[b] to try a road [/b]
[b] with a large number of people, a huge amount of cliff cliffs construction project is huge [/b]
Yu Xinxin stands at the door, and the mountains on the right are turned over, the Tianmenshan Mountain scenic area, and their residence in the other side of the Tianmenshan Mountain.
talking about the road, although the villagers want to build roads, they feel quite helpless. The village of Zhang Jia Wan is vast and sparsely populated, with more than 19000 mu in the whole village, only 398 people. Young people go out to work. There are only 90 left in the village. Liu Xingjie, the village director, said that there were some hours of walking between some groups in the village, and the village was built in the village. It was also 50 kilometers, and all the roads were repaired between the cliffs, and the amount of the project was huge. "Thirty million were not required to be made." As a result, the road of Zhang Jia Wan village has not been able to connect.
[b] tries two immigrant [/b]
[b] mountains to be rich in economic resources. Villagers do not leave [/b]
14 years old and want to move out. Liu Dan, 5, said I wanted to go to the big city.
there are not many people in the village of Zhang Jia Wan. They once thought of emigrating down the mountain. However, most of the villagers in the village did not want to. Yang Junxiang's wife, who was not good at his legs and feet, sat at home as a carpenter, made himself a vice coffin, and brushed the black lacquer in the house, leaving them to leave the village where they lived for generations. They felt "hard to accept".
most of the villagers are unwilling to emigrate or out of economic consideration. The vast mountains and broad mountains have brought them rich economic resources. The wild rice leaves grown in the mountains and rivers are sold to the country, and the timber in the mountains has become a big economic income for the villagers. In addition, the beekeeping, wild vegetables and wild animals can also bring some benefits to them. . Villagers said that a year to sell rice leaves and wood, can have a more stable income, even in the outside work, also want to do no hard time to return to the village, "there is a dependence on these resources."
[b] tried three schools to build the school of [/b]
[b], and the children of other groups had to go over the mountains to go to school. Before the withdrawal and the school, Zhang Jia Wan village had a primary school, but in the case of Zhang Jia Wan Village, the distance between the group and the group was far away, and the different families between the groups and the groups were sometimes separated for an hour. The school is built in a group in the village, and the children of other groups go to school for several hours. The villagers say that they are far away from it, and they would rather send their children to the town to go to school. "The quality of education is better."
after media coverage, the Sangzhi county government said that the first out of the ladder is to remould a simple passage to the mountain, concretely repair the cement steps or simple roads, and to wait for the experts to inspect the mountain and decide again.
"wooden ladder is not fixed, wind and rain are also easy to decay, the risk is relatively large. Next Monday, the technicians in the county will come here to investigate and determine a feasible plan and strive to start work as soon as possible. Xiong Dongjian, Party Secretary of bitter bamboo Pingxiang, told reporters in the media that every year there will be floods in the mountains in July and August. We must finish the ladder transformation before that.
