Reforms and Development

As the reform progressed, the farm’s management system was fully streamlined. Housing difficulties for returned overseas Chinese and their families were thoroughly resolved, and social security policies, including pension insurance, medical insurance, and minimum living allowances, were effectively implemented. Infrastructure such as roads, water conservancy, and drinking water for humans and livestock were continuously improved, significantly enhancing development capabilities. Social conflicts left over from the past were effectively resolved, and the construction of a “civilized and harmonious new overseas Chinese community” showed remarkable results.
