云隘深处

秀山县城39公里外，有个叫“云隘”的村子。一个还没有整村脱贫的贫困村。

村民口口相传，“云隘”的由来，系因这里处于大山深处，因天气或地理原因，常见云蒸雾罩。再者，现在的村委会1600多米开外即是一个叫“分水岭”的隘口，过了隘口便是贵州。于是，“云隘村”得名。

此说未见于史料。倒是半山腰的一栋老旧木屋和云隘村云隘组的那座祠堂，侧面印证了当地人津津乐道的一段往事。

据说，云隘村曾留下了红军的足迹，半山腰上那栋老旧木屋，文史单位在屋外墙上挂了一块牌子，上有“云隘黔东纵队联络站”字样。史料载，黔东纵队直属贺龙、夏曦、关向应率领的中国工农红军第三军。相传，贺龙曾在半山腰的那栋老旧木屋，以及山下那座祠堂，都做短暂停留。

这已是80多年前的一段红色往事。

回归现实。2018年11月13日，我们走进云隘村时，之前精准识别出的60户贫困户，还有5户未能脱贫。

整整两天，采访在村，吃住在村。我们试图通过一些平平常常的故事，解剖云隘深处的扶贫与脱贫。

Thirty-nine kilometers away from Xiushan county, there is a village called “Yun’ai”. It’s a poor village that has not been lifted out of poverty.

Village residents said the village called “Yun’ai”in part due to clouds and fogs frequently formed here as the village resides deep in the mountain.Climate may also contribute to such phenomenon.Additionally, 1600 meters away from the village committee, a mountain pass called “watershed”can be found and the southwestern part of China Guizhou Province is just ahead of this mountain pass. That's why the village was named “Yun’ai village”.

Yet no historical evidence can verify this. An old log cabin on the mountainside and an ancestral hall in the village confirmed what locals are talking about is true.

It is said that traces of the Red Army can be found in the Yun’ai village. Outside the old log cabin on the mountainside, there is a tablet featured“Yun’ai Qiandong Team Contract Station” hung up by a Literature and History unit. According to the historical evidence, Qiandong Team directly belonged to the third army of the red army of Chinese workers and peasants led by He Long, Xia Xi and Guan Xiangying. It is said that He Long once stayed in that old log cabin on the mountainside and an ancestral hall at the foot of the mountain for a short period of time.

This is what happened 80 years ago.

Now getting back to the reality. When we entered the Yun’ai village on November 13, 2018,we found that among 60 households who were under our poverty alleviation program, 5 households were still living in poverty.

Our team spent two days interviewing and eating in this village. We are trying to give an insight into poverty alleviation program from these ordinary stories.
