“后八有古风,那是先贤的叮咛,百善孝为先,家和万事兴;后八有新风,那是不变的感动,家家天伦乐,邻里和谐情……”走进邹城市后八里沟村,悦耳的村歌《孝德歌》回荡在人们耳畔。这里人流如织,和乐融融,造访过这里的人,无不为其淳朴乡风、孝善家风点赞。但谁能想到,十七年前这里却是另一番景象。
村民宋光生回忆说:“那时村里风气不好,民心一盘散沙,矛盾真不少。”在后八里沟村党委书记宋伟看来,问题的根源在于当时村里歪风盛行、村民道德素养欠佳。“做人不孝,缺乏理想信念,没有进取的动力,影响全村和睦,所以必须要改变。”但如何扭转这种局面,成为村两委班子必须直面的问题。
后八里沟村是个千年古村,历史上就有孝善传统。因此,村兩委班子结合村庄现状,以孝善文化积淀为着力点,用“孝善”引领村民思想,延伸农村服务领域,探索实践“孝善治理”后八里沟模式。
打定主意后,后八里沟村开始发力“修炼内功”。村里一边倡孝善、立家风,通过制定《村规民约》要求子女必须赡养老人,成年子女必须每月统一缴纳赡养费50元、每周给老人做两次饭,用硬规矩培养子女孝善行为;一边树榜样、聚人心,要求党员干部带头讲孝善、行孝善,做孝老爱老敬老的“领航员”,引导村民对标对表立家风。
在集体收入较少的初期,后八里沟村把有限的收入,用于改善五保老人住房条件,给老人每月发放营养品。随着村里发展集体经济逐步顺畅,老人的待遇也在逐步提高。2017年年底,后八里沟村在全省率先完成集体产权制度改革,全村60周岁以上的老人除了享受成员股外,还多享受两股养老股,每年年底可以根据集体收益情况领取股份分红。此外,后八里沟村还采取了一系列举措,确保老年人的生活幸福:每月为老人发放价值300元的营养品和生活用品,村里的志愿者们会定期为老人理发、洗澡、修脚、查体,两相结合,既满足老人的膳食营养,又能让老人保持良好的精神面貌;集体企业员工特别增设“父母工资”,每月将1200元直接汇款至父母账户;每逢春节、元宵节、中秋节、重阳节等重要节日,村委会为全村老人发新衣服、组织老人看大戏;每月举办“百寿宴”为老人们过生日,让老人们欢聚一堂,按年龄段送上5000元至10000元不等的生日贺礼;每年为每位60岁以上的老人发放5000元的保健敬老金。
物质有了保障,村两委又开始琢磨怎样能让老人们精神好、娱乐好。在宋伟的建议下,村里投资建成了2.3万平方米的为民大楼,其中1.2万平方米的老人休闲馆设有健身房、乒乓球室、书画室、图书室等活动场所。室外文化健身广场也安装了各式体育健身器材,让村里老年人生活得更健康、更幸福。
96岁高龄的宋西钦常到图书室来看书,看到村里十六年来翻天覆地的变化,他总是逢人就竖起大拇指:“我从来没有想过咱们村会发展成这样,也没有想过会过上今天这样的生活,年年发钱,月月发东西。以前有病不舍得花钱看病只能忍着,现在好啦,村里全给咱报销啦。”不仅如此,为了让长者“银发乐活”,后八里沟村建成8万平方米的中医药康养服务中心,设有500余张床位,为老人提供全方位、高品质的服务。
与此同时,后八里沟村大力实施孝善家风沁润工程,将儒家思想中的孝善精髓,提炼成通俗易懂的语言,让村民耳濡目染;通过打造孝贤广场、孝贤文化街、文化德育街,最大限度增强孝善文化感召力;开展评比并表彰热爱集体、尊老爱老先进典型,引导村民见贤思齐;谱写村歌《孝德歌》,人人践行,重塑家风。
后八里沟村的孝善家风沁润工程越做越细,奇思妙想源源不绝。后八里沟村在居民楼设置“孝善文化牌”,在村广场设置“光荣榜”“曝光台”,掀起了崇德向善的新风尚;评选“十大孝星”“好媳妇”“好婆婆”,大力倡导“孝善家风”。
七岁的小朋友宋雨轩每天都要跟着妈妈念家训。雨轩的爷爷是一名退休教师,在爷爷的熏陶下,雨轩从小就对读书很感兴趣。妈妈每天带着雨轩读家训、讲孝善,让雨轩理解了孝善的由来和意义。几年前,雨轩的奶奶身患重病,雨轩妈妈几年如一日悉心照料老人和孩子,用行动告诉雨轩什么是“孝善家风”。
在“孝善家风”的沁润下,家和邻睦在后八里沟村蔚成风气,先进事迹如雨后春笋般涌现,村里多户人家被评为“山东省孝心家庭”“济宁市孝心家庭”。村民宋光化兄妹六人齐心奉养老母亲的感人故事就是其一。宋光化的母亲几年里相继患脑梗、心梗、白内障,但每次都奇迹般化险为夷,全靠子女的精心照顾,如今老人的生活过得有滋有味。发生在这个孝心家庭的感人故事,也深深地影响着村里的每个人。
在“孝善家风”吹拂下,后八里沟村村风民情发生了翻天覆地的变化。“全国文明村”“中华孝善模范村”“全国民主法治示范村”“中国雷锋村”“全国妇联基层组织建设示范村”“最美志愿服务社区”……各项荣誉纷至沓来。
“我最大的愿望,是让‘孝善家风落地生根,把后八里沟村变成真正的‘心齐人家。”宋伟带领党员干部不断探索实践,让理想之光照亮全村每个角落,“孝善家风”的“种子”深深埋入每个村民的心中。“孝善家风”锻造了后八里沟村独特的灵魂底色,铸就了百姓凝心聚力干事创业的精气神。
