Research on Xinyou Drought Relief in Western Hunan by Hunan Huayang Relief Association
by Cao Jingwen
About This Novel
In the early years of the Republic of China, drought and famine were severe in Xinyou, Hunan, especially in the west of Xiangxi. The Hunan Huayang Relief Association, which was in charge of the relief work, decided to wait for the disaster-stricken counties in western Hunan based on the situation of smoke and seedlings. The officials and gentry in western Hunan made a lot of efforts to obtain funds for the Xinyou Relief Road, and the first construction of the Tanbao section frustrated the hope of relief. The West Road, along with the Central and South Roads who shared the same feelings of injustice, continued to question the Board of Directors while controversies continued on the road boundary around relief issues such as disaster assessment standards, work relief objectives and goals, etc. The overall deep poverty in Xiangxi is actually caused by the long-term corruption of the region by military, banditry, and drug abuse and other social anomies, and cannot be cured by the Huayang Society during the warlord separatist period. Only by relying on the correct guidance of the "targeted poverty alleviation" strategy, the state's strong support for local economy, culture and education and other undertakings, and the burst of the people's endogenous motivation to get rid of poverty, has the overall deep poverty in Western Hunan been completely eliminated today.
