Spirit
Reform and innovation, daring to be the first, taking responsibility and dedication to promote rural revitalization, and pursuing dreams with hard work and hard work in the new era!

In December 1978, 18 farmers from Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, pressed their red fingerprints to sign a "life-and-death agreement". This act opened the prelude to China's rural reform, promoted the introduction of the household contract responsibility system, and helped advance China's reform in depth. As the main birthplace of China's rural reform, Xiaogang Village holds an important historical position. Over more than 40 years, the "Dabaogan Spirit" (the spirit of the household contract responsibility system) and the "Shen Hao Spirit" have been continuously enriched and finally condensed into the "Xiaogang Spirit" which features "reform and innovation, and daring to be pioneers".
