Hengyang News Network correspondent Kuang Yucheng, Jiang Peng and reporter Li Yangjie reported. After walking into the Xuanzhou River Community in Xuanzhou Town, Hengshan County, a fresh rural picture unfolds before the reporters. They stepped on a rural path paved with bluestone, with clear flowing river water, clean and unified garbage cans placed on one side of the village road, and a few flower buds dotted on the branches. Residents gather in groups of three or two here for leisure and entertainment. Villagers jokingly said that it seems as though they can stroll in the "park" right at their doorstep.

Since the beginning of this year, Xuanzhou Town in Hengshan County has actively promoted the demonstration and creation of Hemei House Yard. Through the beautification, greening, and lighting of villages, the "small beauty" of house yard has turned into the "big beauty" of rural areas, improving the living environment, economic development, and grassroots governance of Xuanzhou.

Hemei House Yard of Xuanzhou River is the first standard house yard organized and constructed by Xuanzhou Town, with a total investment of 2.25 million yuan. They have jointly created the "Five Realms" landscape of Guixin Garden, Mishuijing, Youtao Garden, Guanshantian, and Jiantiantian. In the construction process of the beautiful house yard, Xuanzhouhe Community fully takes advantage of the role of grassroots Party organizations, and through the leadership of Party members and resident representatives, works together to create a high standard beautiful house yard, allowing residents' happiness index to be "upgraded" at their doorstep.

“Last year, garbage was everywhere in my yard. With the joint efforts of the Xuanzhou River community branch and the masses, the original garbage dump has turned into a beautiful yard now. The people live comfortably. The environment and hygiene conditions are quite good, what’s more, everyone there is responsible. The front of every household is cleaned every day, and they consciously maintain the clean environment. "said a lady from Yan family, a representative of the Xuanzhouhe community Party member in Xuanzhou Town with a sense of happiness and satisfaction on the face.

Li Bichang, a resident of Xuanzhou River Community in Xuanzhou Town, also noted that everyone here regards maintaining clean environment of the house as their own family's responsibility. “These flowers and plants need to be watered every day. This morning, I watered them for over two hours. Anyone around the area who has time will come to maintain the good environment here.”

Residents have the final say when it comes to whether environmental improvement is effective , or whether villages have become more beautiful. Residents of Xuanzhou River Community and Beautiful House Yard now enjoy activities in the small square of the community during their free time, such as chatting, taking walks, and exercising. The creation of beautiful house yard has helped us beautify our doorstep, the environment, and has thus lifted our mood. Everyone says that our place is no less beautiful than a park and looks even better, "Li Bi often said.

The completion and operation of Hemei House Yard in Xuanzhou River have turned the beautiful rural landscape from imagination into reality, providing residents with a more comfortable living environment and leisure and entertainment venues, directly benefiting 115 households and 534 people in the courtyard. At the same time, it also showcases the good style of Xuanzhou Ancient Town, setting an example for the comprehensive development of Hemei House Yard construction in the future.
