On the morning of February 9, a vibrant village gala themed "Ecological Home Beautiful as a Painting, Red Leadership for Green Living" was held in Haolaigou Village. The meticulously planned event aimed to deliver early Lunar New Year blessings to residents while providing a joyful setting for sharing stories, discussing progress, and celebrating reunion. With a significant elderly population in the village, the gathering was designed to ensure seniors enjoyed a lively holiday season. It also offered peace of mind to young people working away from home, allowing the entire community to feel the warmth and belonging of family during the festive period.

The celebration featured performances by professional artists as well as authentic acts from local villagers. The opening song "Cheers for Inner Mongolia" echoed the bold spirit of the grassland people, while a recitation titled "The Initial Heart Illuminates the Path to Revitalization" narrated Haolaigou's developmental journey. A comic dialogue act, "Speaking of Changes Immediately," highlighted encouraging improvements in local ecology and public welfare. A series of performances, including opera medleys, acrobatic jar balancing, and folk songs praising Haolaigou, kept the audience engaged with continuous applause and laughter, fostering a warm and uplifting atmosphere.

Beyond the entertaining shows, the village's progress was a source of great excitement. "In recent years, we have seized development opportunities by revitalizing idle resources in the old village through investment promotion and carefully creating ancient-style homestays integrated with cultural tourism," said Feng Runwei, the village director. "This has broadened and solidified our development path. This year, the per capita income of villagers increased by 1,300 yuan compared to last year." He expressed both satisfaction and hope, noting that his primary wish for the new year is to further boost villagers' incomes, morale, and overall prosperity.

Villager Chen Peiyan shared her pride, stating, "Under the guidance of the village committee, our incomes have risen year after year, and life keeps getting better. Now, with established industries, ongoing development, and promising prospects, the elderly live comfortably, and the young can focus on their careers elsewhere. Everyone genuinely hopes for the village's continued growth and improvement."
