Simeng Town

In 1972, farmer Song Yuyan and grain store worker Shu Mulian fell in love. Shu Mulian's mother, Liu Aihua, director of the Simeng Commune Revolutionary Committee, opposed Shu Mulian's love affair with rural people and asked him to marry Wang Lili, the daughter of commune secretary Wang Haoli. Shu Mulian and Song Yuyan committed suicide by taking pesticides. Shu Mulian died and Song Yuyan was rescued. In May of that year, Simeng was building a railway station, and Song Yuyan's family became temporary workers. Wang Lili designed a frame-up and drove Song Yuyan's family out of the train station. Song Yuyan married farmer Kong Jun and gave birth to her son Kong Yangfan. Wang Lili encouraged Liu Aihua to search Song Yuyan's home. Liu Aihua's husband, Shu Dongming, died in a car accident to stop Liu Aihua. In 1976, Wang Haoli reported that Liu Aihua had merit and was promoted. Liu Aihua was fired from his official position and imprisoned. Song Yuyan insisted on caring for Liu Aihua. Wang Lili married Li Mao and gave birth to their daughter Wang Shuqin. In 1982, when rural areas were divided into households, Song Yuyan and Kong Jun contracted an orange orchard and joined a travel agency, becoming the first 10,000-yuan households in Simeng Town. In 1984, Wang Lili was pregnant with her second child. Afterwards, he entrusted the daughter he gave birth to to Song Yuyan. Song Yuyan took out a loan to build a hotel. After she became rich, she led the Simeng villagers to establish a joint-stock tourism company. All her profits were donated to the Simeng Town Rural Poverty Alleviation Office. After Wang Haoli passed away, he left a recording to accuse himself of falsely accusing Liu Aihua. Liu Aihua was vindicated. Song Yuyan carefully supported Liu Aihua. Liu Aihua passed away after his 90th birthday. Song Yuyan used the money left by Liu Aihua to set up the "Shu Mulian Bursary". In 2025, Simeng Town will open an air corridor.
