Cctv news(Reporter Wang Xiaoying) The popular TV series Minning Town has made many people become "onion" people overnight, worried about the fate of the characters in the drama, worried that the "onion" people could not get electricity because there were not enough households, and worried that Agaricus bisporus could not be sold.
"Earth" and "truth" make a drastic change in poverty alleviation an explosion. Countless people are worried about Ma Defu, the character in the play. From the beginning, he encouraged everyone to move out, tried to make everyone stay, and tried to solve one problem after another for electricity.
Weixi, a screenwriter, released Weibo, saying that it’s true to exchange her daughter for a water cellar for a big animal, and it’s true that a family only has one pair of trousers, and it’s also true to dig a nest.
"The protagonist Ma Defu has absorbed the experiences and stories of several people in Suining Town, but the main prototype is me," Xie Xingchang, secretary of the Party branch of Funing Village, Suining Town, Yinchuan, Ningxia, told reporters.
In order to play it truly and well, Ma Defu’s actor — — Huang Xuan, an actor, found Xie Xingchang after learning that he was participating in the play, and told him about the situation in that year in detail.
The first batch of immigrants returned to the village to encourage villagers to move.

Xie Xingchang said that in the TV series Minning Town, the stories of villagers living in the "underground nest", moving out and running back, and planting mushrooms were all real stories at that time.
Xie Xingchang, a native of Xiji, Ningxia, was one of the first immigrants who moved from Xihaigu Mountain to Minning Town.
On July 15, 1997, Min Ning Village broke ground on a Gobi desert in Yongning County, outside Yinchuan. Xie Xingchang said that he was with several villagers at the stage of the groundbreaking ceremony.
A villager in the play said: "The future is good, the future is good, what is the future? The future just hasn’t come yet. When can I come, who knows? "
Xie Xingchang recalled that in reality, the determination to move out of the ravine originated from the groundbreaking ceremony of Suining Village. The leader on the stage read the congratulatory letter from Fujian. After listening to it, he felt that although Suining Village was still desolate at that time, there would be hope for moving out of the ravine.
On the farm not far from Suining Village, he saw that the corn and sorghum he planted were growing well, so he broke off four corn cobs and four sorghum ears and took them back to Xiji’s hometown to let everyone know that there was water to grow live food when he moved here.
In August 1997, Xie Xingchang took 14 people to participate in the "Diaozhuang Immigration". "I didn’t have experience at first, so I set up a tent. As a result, when the sandstorm came, the tent disappeared. Later, we thought of digging a nest," Xie Xingchang said.
However, because of the need to live in a shack, some of the Diaozhuang immigrants who came with him couldn’t stand it and came up with the idea of going home.
The actual experience is more bitter and poorer than TV series.

In the TV series, Ma Defu, who just graduated from agricultural school, has the first task of persuading his hometown — — Seven Diaozhuang immigrants from Yongquan Village just moved to Yuquanying and fled back the next day. The people who participated in the resettlement of Diaozhuang ran back and said, "I don’t want to hang Zhuangzhuang anymore. There is a wind every year, from spring to winter, with strong winds and small winds every day."
Xie Xingchang said that the actual situation in that year was even more difficult than the interpretation of TV series. "When I first moved here, there were no birds flying in the sky, no grass growing on the ground, and the wind blew sand and gravel everywhere … …”
"I often cover a quilt before going to bed and get up and become two quilts." Xie Xingchang explained that the sandstorm was too big. After one night, the quilt was covered with a few centimeters of yellow sand, which was equivalent to adding another quilt.
When Xie Xingchang came to Suining Village for the first year, the children went to school in Xiji’s hometown, and his wife complained about him because of the difficult conditions.
In 1997, there were only more than 80 households in Minning village, and they only had electricity but no water, so they had to go to a place more than ten kilometers away to pull water to drink.
"It is also true that the new villagers in the play came and we cooked to welcome them," Xie Xingchang said. At that time, I wanted everyone to stay when they came.
"In the first year, everyone lived in a shack. When the house was built and the shack was given to the newcomers, they didn’t have to live in tents." Xie Xingchang recalled that the number of households in Suining Village increased from dozens in 1997 to more than 200 in 1998.
In May 2001, Yuquanying Development Zone in Xiji County (including Minning Village) was renamed as Minning Economic Development Zone in Yongning County. In January 2002, Suining Town was established with the approval of Yinchuan Municipal People’s Government.
The original Suining village has now been renamed Funing village, where 4,500 families live.
The development industry has experienced the slow sales of mushrooms.

In the play, after the villagers in Yongquan Village moved to Jin Tan Village, electricity was connected, and they began to develop their industries, and their life became better.
As the first generation of immigrants in Minning Village, Xie Xingchang witnessed the whole process of the development of this pure immigrant town.
Land preparation, building a house, planting Lycium barbarum and building a mushroom shed … … On the endless yellow sand, Xie Xingchang, as the secretary of the village branch, built the first adobe house in Suining Village and led the villagers to create their homes together.
Xie Xingchang said that when Fujian experts came to teach you how to grow mushrooms, few people built sheds at first, and then more people planted them. At that time, more than 300 mushroom sheds were built in the village at once. At that time, as the drama tells, mushrooms suffered from slow sales. Later, with the help of all parties, the mushroom industry was on the right track.
Nowadays, mushrooms have become a major characteristic industry in Suining town. Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinus edodes, Morchella and other mushrooms are the sharp tools for villagers in Suining town to get rid of poverty and become rich.

"I talked with actor Huang Xuan for a long time and told him what it was like when he first came, from a cave to an adobe house, then to a brick house, and then to a cement bungalow." Xie Xingchang said that he told the story according to the changes from year to year, and many plots in the play actually happened, so he felt very cordial when he watched the play.
