Abolish agricultural tax
Farmer Wang Sanni: Use your savings to create a land fortune
In December 2005, the 19th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed a decision to abolish the “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Agricultural Taxes” from January 1, 2006. In order to commemorate the cancellation of agricultural tax, Wang Sanni, a farmer from Qinglian Village in Lingshou, Hebei, made a “Farewell Tian Fu Ding” that is 99 cm high and 252 kg in weight.
Wang Yingjie remembered that when his father Wang Sanni heard about the abolition of the agricultural tax on TV for the first time, he was half-believing: “It is only natural for farmers to pay public grain for farming. It lasted for 2,600 years. How could it be abolished?” The news was published until the abolition of the Regulations. , He believed it was true.
Wang Sanni has the craftsmanship of casting bronzes. Knowing that the tripod has the function of recording national events, he decided to use his family’s savings of tens of thousands of yuan to buy raw materials and cast a tripod to commemorate this event. Wang Yingjie was very opposed. He and his wife originally wanted to use these savings to buy a car to facilitate normal delivery, but his father did not listen to persuasion and started the plan to build a tripod.
One day, Wang Sanni took a brick and wrote the words “Farewell to Tian Fu” in her courtyard, and started the creation of the inscription for the title. Once the characters were carved, they could not be changed. Wang Sanni had to carefully study each character. He works in the factory during the day and sleeps until one or two in the morning to write. Only Wang Sanni, who was from elementary school, looked up a lot of materials and constantly looked for people to modify it. After a few months, she wrote a “Farewell Tian Fu” of more than 500 words. In the decorative design, in addition to common elements such as auspicious dragons and beasts, Wang Sanni also added a pattern of ox hooves to symbolize farmers. On September 29, 2006, the “Farewell Tian Fu Ding” was completed and was later collected by the China Agricultural Museum.Text/Reporter Zhang Han
