When she first took office, she found there were 103 households with 474 people identified as registered impoverished households in the village, with a poverty incidence rate of 22%. As a result, it was categorized as a deeply impoverished village. These households were scattered across several different hills, which posed a significant challenge for her as a "newcomer" unfamiliar with the terrain to quickly grasp the detailed situation of all impoverished households within the shortest possible time. Regardless, she engaged with the community and after two months of investigation, she basically understood the overall situation of the entire village. The village has a total of 472 households with 2068 people. There are 195 households with 883 people identified as registered impoverished households, among which 154 households and 691 people were still in poverty in 2017. After starting her work in the village, she led the village committee and others to conduct field visits for learning, invited technical experts for on-site guidance, conducted household-by-household mobilization and propaganda, and led party members in demonstrating agriculture techniques. These efforts swiftly promoted rapid development in the village's collective economy through horticulture. In 2018 alone, through the establishment of an [[e-commerce]] service station, they helped villagers sell their agricultural produce, generating sales of around 220,000 yuan and creating additional income of approximately 2,500 yuan per household for more than 30 impoverished families in the village.<ref name="WM">{{cite web |url=http://www.wenming.cn/sbhr_pd/zghrb/jyfx/201907/t20190729_5201230.shtml|title=黄文秀|publisher=Weiming.cn|access-date=July 6, 2024}}</ref><ref name="PD">{{cite web|url= http://paper.people.com.cn/rmrb/html/2019-06/30/nw.D110000renmrb_20190630_1-05.htm|title=青春之花，绽放在扶贫路上|newspaper=People's Daily|date=2019-06-30|access-date= July 7, 2024|archive-date=July 30, 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190730152521/http://paper.people.com.cn/rmrb/html/2019-06/30/nw.D110000renmrb_20190630_1-05.htm|url-status= dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.haiwainet.cn/n/2021/0528/c3541083-32113264.html|title=记驻村第一书记黄文秀：两万五千公里扶贫路是她的“长征”|newspaper=Haiwainet|date=2021-05-28|access-date=2024-07-07}}</ref><ref name=BJ>{{cite web|url=https://www.bjreview.com/CHINA_INSIGHT_2022/China_Insight_Special_Issue_on_Xi_Jinping_The_Governance_of_China_IV/202208/t20220810_800303348.html|title=An Ordinary Hero|newspaper=China Insight (Beijing Review)|access-date=2024-07-07}}</ref>

Huang Wenxiu (Chinese: 黄文秀; pinyin: Huáng Wénxiù; Zhuang: Vangz Vwnzsiu; 18 April 1989 – 17 June 2019) was a Chinese Communist Party village official of Zhuang ethnicity.[1] During her time as head of a village in Guangxi, she dedicated herself to poverty alleviation efforts such as promoting economic development and implementing poverty reduction initiatives. Following her death in 2019 from a flash flood, the Chinese Communist Party posthumously elevated Huang into a national model for poverty alleviation.

Early life

[edit]

Huang was born on 18 April 1989, one of three children born to a poor peasant family in Tianyang District of Baise City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Despite the poverty and her parents' suffering from illnesses, she worked hard from a young age and was determined to receive a better education.[2][3] In college entrance examinations in 2007, Huang did not perform well and in 2008, she retook examinations and on the same year, she was accepted into Changzhi University to study ideology and political science. She graduated in 2010 and in 2011, she became a member of the Chinese Communist Party.[4]

In 2013, she was admitted to the School of Philosophy at Beijing Normal University and graduated with a degree in law in 2016.[5] Following her graduation, she gave up her desire of finding a profession in Beijing and instead decided to return to Baise to work with rural government's poverty alleviation.[6] When asked why she decided to work in a remote rural area, she stated that: "Baise is the main battlefield for poverty alleviation. Why shouldn't I come? Our party is a party that truly seeks development and happiness for the people. I am a Communist Party member, and this is my mission."[3]

Political career

[edit]

She returned to Baise in 2016 and was assigned to work in the Propaganda Department of the Baise Municipal Party Committee.[7] In August 2017, she was assigned to work as deputy secretary of the Party Committee in Naman town in Tianyang County, Baise and in 2018, she was appointed as the first secretary of Baini village in Leye County, a key county in Guangxi for national poverty alleviation and development work.[8]

When she first took office, she found there were 103 households with 474 people identified as registered impoverished households in the village, with a poverty incidence rate of 22%. As a result, the village was categorized as a deeply impoverished. The households were scattered across several different hills, which posed a significant challenge for her as she was unfamiliar with the village's terrain to quickly grasp the detailed situation of all impoverished households. Regardless, she engaged with the community and after two months of investigation, she understood the overall situation of the entire village. The village has a total of 472 households with 2068 people. There are 195 households with 883 people identified as registered impoverished households. After starting her work in the village, she led the village committee and others to conduct field visits for learning, invited technical experts for on-site guidance, conducted household-by-household mobilization and propaganda, and led party members in demonstrating agriculture techniques. These efforts swiftly promoted rapid development in the village's collective economy. In 2018 alone, through the establishment of an e-commerce service station, they helped villagers sell their agricultural produce, generating sales of around 220,000 yuan and creating additional income of approximately 2,500 yuan per household for more than 30 impoverished families in the village.[9][10][11][12]

During her tenure as first secretary of Baini village, she was known for her frugal and simplistic lifestyle when providing assistance to impoverished families and left-behind children in the village. She also helped underprivileged students, who have been admitted to universities, to apply for various subsidies, enabling them to have financial support for higher studies.[9]

Death

[edit]

On the evening of 16 June 2019, heavy rain suddenly triggered flash floods in Lingyun County, Guangxi causing severe damage to several road sections. In the early hours of 17 June, Huang, who had just visited her seriously ill father in Baise, headed back to Leye County but went missing while driving through Lingyun County. On 18 June, search and rescue team members found Huang's body in the downstream river channel, confirming that she had died after her vehicle was washed away by a flash flood.[13][6][14] On 22 June, her funeral service was held in Baise and was attended by over 100 people, and following her funeral, she was buried at Baifuyuan Cemetery in Baise.[12][15]

Legacy

[edit]

In July 2019, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China Xi Jinping offered condolences to Huang's family and issued instructions honoring her. In recognition of her work as village party secretary, Xi honored her as an 'national outstanding Communist Party member' stating "learn from Huang Wenxiu... Be brave enough to shoulder responsibilities and willing to show dedications, so as to make new and greater contributions in the Long March of the new era", hence making her into a national model and modern-day hero in China.[6][16] On 1 July 2019, the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party posthumously awarded Huang the title 'Model of our Times'.[17]

She was also posthumously awarded the following:
