Developing and constructing the Great Northern Wilderness is an important strategic decision made by the Party and the country. 1947, according to the important instructions of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao on establishing and consolidating base areas in Northeast China and on cultivating cadres, accumulating experience, creating typical models and demonstrating farmers, a group of veterans came to the Great Northern Wilderness, founded the first batch of state-owned farms such as Ning 'an and Zhao Guang, and started the development and construction of the Great Northern Wilderness. 1958, General Wang Zhen led 65,438+10,000 demobilized officers and men into the Great Northern Wilderness, which set off the climax of large-scale development and construction in the reclamation area. After that, a million-strong army composed of a large number of frontier youths, college graduates and urban educated youth successively invested in the development and construction of reclamation areas, creating a miracle in the history of human reclamation in the ancient wasteland.

After the hard struggle of three generations of northern wilderness people, Heilongjiang reclamation area has developed into a national important commodity grain base and grain strategic reserve base with the largest cultivated land area, the highest degree of modernization and the strongest comprehensive production capacity. The reclamation area has produced a total of 570.64 billion Jin of grain and sold 445.22 billion Jin of commercial grain to the country, which has made positive contributions to ensuring national food security, food security and ecological security. At present, the comprehensive grain production capacity of the reclamation area has reached 45 billion Jin, providing more than 40 billion Jin of commercial grain, which can guarantee the annual ration supply of 654.38+0.2 billion urban population. As an important commodity grain base in China, reclamation area has played a prominent role in the grain shortage in every country, such as the great famine in 1960s, soaring prices in 1980s, SARS in 2003, Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 and other special periods. It is called "the granary of China", which is reliable and flexible and can deal with emergencies.
