On July 9, the villagers of Qaraqash County, Ka’ersai Township, Qaghiliq village changed into new clothes and in this new look participated in a flag raising ceremony.

Clad in their new clothes, the villagers were full of energy and their looks had improved immensely. Their brand-new white shirts simply but tastefully read “I Love the Chinese Nation,” fully demonstrating the villagers’ positive energy and resolve to win the battle against poverty.

The work team stationed in the village had discovered that even in the summer heat, some villagers still wore heavy, long-sleeved shirts. So the team proactively contacted a garment factory to come and take measurements, giving each villager new clothes and allowing them to feel cool and be fashionable in the summer, as well as to show off Qaghiliq Village’s new look.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the village also organized a publicity campaign. Poverty alleviation specialist Shen Hongkun told everyone: “We can’t wear new clothes and walk the old roads. We must use our own two hands to change our lives and become rich through hard work. We also need to work harder on renovating our courtyards and improving sanitation. Together, we can enhance the overall image of Qaghiliq Village working from the inside out.”

7月9日一早,墨玉县喀尔塞镇喀克勒克村村民们换上了新衣服,用焕然一新的面貌参加了升国旗仪式。

穿上新衣的村民们个个精神抖擞,形象提升了一大截。崭新洁白的上衣、“我爱中华”的字样,简约大方,充分展示了村民们积极向上的精气神和坚决打赢脱贫攻坚战的决心。

夏日炎炎,发现有些村民还是穿着略厚的长袖衬衫,驻村工作队队员们积极和服装厂联系,到村里现场量尺寸,给每位村民做了一件新衣,让村民们度过一个凉快、靓丽的夏天,展示喀克勒克村的新面貌。

利用这个时机,村里还组织开展了宣讲,扶贫专干申红坤告诉大家:“穿新衣不能走老路,我们要利用自己的双手改变我们的生活,勤劳致富。我们还要在庭院改造、卫生改善上再加把劲儿,齐心协力,从内到外提升喀克勒克村的整体形象。”
