班洪地处祖国西南边陲，深藏在南滚河国家级自然保护区腹地之中，山中原始丛林密布，四季天蓝地绿，阳光遍洒，气候宜人。佤族人在此依山建寨，在南滚河畔生生不息。在这片美丽的土地上，庄严肃穆的班洪抗英遗址碑、班洪抗英纪念馆和见证佤山十七部落王镖牛盟誓抗击外侵的老树高山榕，好似亮丽而又蕴藏魔力的珠宝，很容易把你拉入历史纵深，去触摸曾经的硝烟，重温拳拳爱国心。2021年，沧源县边境村十位老支书曾在这里集体给中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平写信汇报佤山翻天覆地的巨变，并在这里接收到习近平总书记的亲笔回信。
2021年8月20日，这是佤山各族人民喜气洋洋的日子，是世世代代必须永远铭记的日子。在班洪村下班坝，老支书们读到了习近平总书记的亲笔回信。大家都说，那天，本来天气特别阴沉，天上飘浮着众多暗色云块，奇异的是，打开信件阅读的时候，太阳穿出了云层，金色的光芒洒向大地，云开雾散，天气晴朗。在场的人们无不欢呼雀跃。总书记在信中是这样写的：
云南省沧源县边境村的老支书们：
你们好！读了来信，了解到脱贫攻坚给阿佤山带来的深刻变化，感受到了阿佤人民心向党、心向国家的真挚感情，我很欣慰。
你们都是老支书，长期在边境地区工作生活，更懂得边民富、边疆稳的意义。脱贫是迈向幸福生活的重要一步，我们要继续抓好乡村振兴、兴边富民，促进各族群众共同富裕，促进边疆繁荣稳定。希望你们继续发挥模范带头作用，引领乡亲们永远听党话、跟党走，建设好美丽家园，维护好民族团结，守护好神圣国土，唱响新时代阿佤人民的幸福之歌。
请向乡亲们问好！
赛金老支书满脸喜悦地说：“那天，我们几个老支书都相当感动，习近平总书记的回信给了我们很大的鼓励，在传阅信件的时候我们都激动得双手颤抖。”
2021年6月中旬完成的信件，老支书们万万没有想到总书记那么快就给了回信，而且是亲笔信。信里字字句句温暖馨香，让他们万分激动。当初，写好信，把信件呈送上去后，老支书们心里又期盼又焦虑，盼的是回信，虑的是没有回信，夜里总是辗转难眠。总书记在北京知道了佤山发生的深刻变化，知道了佤族人民心向国家心向党的真挚感情，老支书们的愿望实现了！如果要用具象的事物表达老支书们的心情，那就是当场木鼓声声震荡山谷云海。
收到重要回信之后，佤山村村寨寨各族人民都以佤族音乐人茶红明创作的欢快歌曲《阿佤人民幸福歌》作歌乐，以佤族甩发广场舞迎接到访客人，表达佤山人的幸福感。“总书记回信到佤山，山笑水笑云潮涌。木鼓声声传情意，古老边寨沐春风。总书记嘱托记心中，守土固边人心同。乡村振兴富边疆，民族团结共繁荣……”欢快甜蜜的歌曲，像洒遍佤山的温暖阳光，时常荡漾在村村寨寨的打歌场上。
泼水节后，天依旧蓝，地依旧绿，在班洪乡班洪村下班坝，我遇见了我们可爱的赛金老支书，他正坐在小车里，从下班坝观景栈道返回。他心满意足的笑容，好像一抹拂面的春风。他从车窗探出头向我打招呼，高兴地告诉我：“下班坝现在好了，山绿花红，蜂蜜甜。”
正如群众所希望的那样，下班坝现在已经是国家AAAA级景区。红瓦白墙的房屋依山而建，错落有致地散落在南滚河畔的坡面上，嵌在青山绿树的怀抱中。村寨石头围墙上爬满花藤，花朵繁复艳丽，房墙脚堆放的南瓜、冬瓜以及院子里挂的金黄玉米表达了下班坝人的丰收和喜悦。家家户户，房前屋后，水果蔬菜满园，整个村落精巧美丽。立身在这样美丽、幸福的村寨，我感到如饮甘霖、如沐春风。
这里已经建成了红色旅游景观——回信广场。一块石碑上一字不差地刻写习近平总书记的回信内容，字体鲜红，特别醒目。碑后是蜂蜜加工包装房和客户接待室。这两年，养蜂产业与旅游业相融合，有效地带动群众经济增收。下班坝有个大商场，里面经营巨龙竹工艺品、山木耳、干竹笋、土法熬制的红糖、生态蜂蜜等佤山特色山货。此地蜂蜜依据蜜色分为两种，一种黑蜜，一种黄蜜。因为不同季节蜜蜂采集不同的花蜜，酿造的蜜色就不同，黑蜜源于米团花蜜，黄蜜源于其他花蜜。每一滴蜂蜜都花香四溢。
下班坝地处南滚河国家级自然保护区核心地带。自从扩大保护区范围，把下班坝部分耕地划入保护区内，大象等大型动物的活动区域增大，下班坝茶地、谷子地面积相应减少了，但现在，从旅游项目中，下班坝人找回了“损失”，所谓“失之东隅收之桑榆”。下班坝人在村落里、在家门口，就可以工作，经营香蕉、番木瓜、茶叶、叶子包裹的甜糯米糕和藤本止咳草药等绿色生态的山货，不用出寨就有经济回报。下班坝的日子如同抹上了甜甜的蜂蜜，逐渐向好。
下班坝是适合观看佤山自然景观、一览南滚河国家级自然保护区美景的地方。站在寨子下方玻璃栈道上，举目远眺，层山连绵远去滚入天际，班洪、班老林木蓊郁的山川在眼前展开，含藏生物多样性的南滚河国家级自然保护区呈现原始森林的雄浑壮美、莽莽苍苍。幸运的话，在春季，还会看见走出密林的亚洲象。

Sunshine Overflows in the Awa Mountains
English Translation 英文译文
Nestled on the southwestern frontier of our country, Banhong is situated in the heart of the Nanrunhe National Nature Reserve. This region is enveloped by lush, untouched jungles, presenting a picturesque blend of blue skies and verdant landscapes throughout the year. Bathed in sunshine and blessed with a pleasant climate, it is here that the Wa people have established their villages, flourishing along the banks of the Nanrun River. This enchanting land is home to the solemn Banhong Anti-British Monument, the Banhong Anti-British Memorial Hall, and the ancient banyan tree that stood witness to the oath of resistance made by seventeen Wa tribal chiefs against foreign invasion. Like precious gems, these historic sites captivate visitors with their radiant and mystical allure, drawing them into the depths of history to relive the era of conflict and patriotism. In 2021, ten veteran village secretaries from the border villages of Cangyuan County penned a collective letter to Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, detailing the monumental transformations in the Wa Mountains. This letter received a personal response from Xi Jinping himself.
August 20, 2021, marked a triumphant day for the diverse ethnic groups of the Wa Mountains, a day destined to be remembered for generations. At Xiabanba in Banhong Village, the old village secretaries gathered to read Xi Jinping's reply. They recounted that the day began with a gloomy sky, heavy with dark clouds. Yet, as the letter was opened and read aloud, the sun pierced through the clouds, casting a golden glow upon the earth, and the weather turned bright and sunny. The assembled crowd erupted in cheers and celebrations. In his letter, the General Secretary wrote:
"Dear old village secretaries from the border villages of Cangyuan County in Yunnan Province:
Hello! Upon reading your letter, I have come to understand the significant changes brought about by poverty alleviation in the Wa Mountains and felt the deep affection the Wa people have for the Party and the country. I am happy.
As long-serving village secretaries who have worked and lived in border areas, you understand even more the significance of prosperity for border residents and stability for border areas. Poverty alleviation is an essential step towards a happy life. We must continue to focus on rural revitalization, prosperity for border areas and the people, and promote shared prosperity for all ethnic groups and prosperity and stability for border areas. I hope you will continue to play a model and leading role, guiding the villagers to always listen to and follow the Party, building a beautiful homeland, maintaining ethnic unity, protecting the sacred homeland, and singing the happy song of the Wa people in the new era.
Please extend my greetings to the villagers!"
The old village secretary, Sai Jin, replied radiantly, "On that day, we old village secretaries were profoundly moved. President Xi Jinping's reply gave us tremendous encouragement, and we were excited as we passed the letter around."
The letter was completed in mid-June 2021, and the old village secretaries never expected such a prompt and personal response from the General Secretary. The warmth and sincerity of his words filled them with immense joy. After submitting the letter, they were filled with both hope and anxiety, often lying awake at night, longing for a reply yet fearing it might never come. The General Secretary from Beijing learned about the dramatic changes in the Wa Mountains and the deep affection the Wa people hold for the country and the Party, fulfilling the wishes of the old village secretaries. If their feelings were to be symbolized by a tangible object, it would be the sound of wooden drums echoing through the valleys and clouds.
Upon receiving the significant reply, the various ethnic groups in the villages and hamlets of the Wa Mountains burst into the joyful melody of "The Song of the Happiness of the Wa People," composed by the Wa musician Cha Hongming. They welcomed visitors with the vibrant Wa hair-swinging square dance, showcasing the happiness of the Wa Mountain people. "The General Secretary's reply reached the Wa Mountains, making the mountains smile, the waters gleam, and the clouds dance. The beat of the wooden drums spread the sentiment, and the spring breeze rejuvenated the ancient border villages. The General Secretary's guidance is in our hearts; we share a common goal of homeland defence: ensuring stability. Rural revitalization enriches border areas, and ethnic unity brings prosperity..." This joyful and sweet song, akin to the warm sunshine enveloping the Wa Mountains, frequently echoes in the dance grounds of every village and hamlet.
After the Water Splashing Festival, the sky remained azure, and the earth verdant. In Xiabanba village of Banhong Township, I met our beloved Secretary Sai Jin in a car returning from the scenic overlook on Xiabanba. His contented smile was as soothing as a gentle spring breeze. He leaned out the car window to greet me and cheerfully remarked, "Xiabanba is now beautiful, with green mountains, blooming flowers, and sweet honey."
As anticipated by the people, Xiabanba has now become a national AAAA-level scenic spot. Houses with red tiles and white walls are constructed along the hillside, neatly arranged on the slopes by the Nangun River, nestled amidst green mountains and trees. The village's stone walls are adorned with flowering vines, and the blossoms are abundant and dazzling. Pumpkins and winter melons are stacked at the base of the walls, and golden corn hangs in the yards, symbolizing the harvest and joy of the Xiabanba people. Every household, front and back, is bountiful with fruits and vegetables, making the entire village picturesque and beautiful. I felt invigorated and rejuvenated in such a charming and joyful village.
A red tourism attraction named "Letter Reply Square" has been established here. A stone monument engraved with the contents of President Xi Jinping's reply letter, with bright red characters, is particularly striking. Behind the memorial are a honey processing and packaging room and a guest reception room. Over the past two years, integrating the beekeeping industry with tourism has significantly boosted the local economy. Xiabanba boasts a large shopping mall selling Wa Mountain specialities such as Giant Dragon bamboo crafts, mountain wood ears, dried bamboo shoots, traditionally brewed brown sugar, and organic honey. The honey here is categorized by colour: black honey and yellow honey. Bees collect different nectar in different seasons, resulting in varying honey colours. Black honey comes from millet flower nectar, while yellow honey is derived from other flowers. Each drop of honey is infused with a floral aroma.
Xiabanba is situated in the core area of the Nangun River National Nature Reserve. Since the expansion of the reserve, part of Xiabanba's farmland has become protected territory, increasing the habitat for elephants and other large animals. Consequently, the areas for tea and grain cultivation in Xiabanba have diminished. However, through tourism projects, the people of Xiabanba have offset their "losses," turning adversity into opportunity. The residents can now work within their village, selling green and ecological mountain products such as bananas, papayas, tea leaves, sweet glutinous rice cakes wrapped in leaves, and vine-based cough herbs, earning a livelihood without leaving their homes. Life in Xiabanba is steadily improving, akin to being sweetened with honey.
Xiabanba offers an ideal vantage point to appreciate the natural splendour of Washan Mountain and the scenic beauty of the Nangun River National Nature Reserve. From the glass walkway beneath the village, one can admire the mountains that stretch endlessly into the distance. The verdant forests of Banhong and Banlao spread out before you, showcasing the rich biodiversity and majestic allure of the untouched Nangun River National Nature Reserve. In the spring, if fortunate, one might even glimpse Asian elephants emerging from the dense foliage.
