Gold Ingot Springing out from the Mountains

By Xu Kuang

“Taoyuan? Which one do you refer to?’’

“The one described in the famous poem “The Peach Blossom Spring” by Tao Yuanming.’’ Locals of Zhuxi will respond the inquirer proudly.

Taoyuan town (Peach Blossom Spring) is considered as the prototype of Tao Yuanming’s Poem “The Peach Blossom Spring” in the eyes of local residents of Zhuxi. It neighbors Zhenping town of Shanxi and Wuxi town of Chongqing. It starts at Horsehead Gorge and extends all the way to Guandu town of Zhushan. Cliffs here are steep as if being cut with axes by the God and brooks gurgle as if a fine wine bestowed by nature. Let alone the deep and quiet canyon, verdant trees and flowers, and mysterious mist in between. A bird would stop for a rest and man will feel they are entering a dreamland.

The Second Water Source Area of VOSS

Started out from Zhuxi town, passing Xinzhou town, Bingying town and Tianbao town along the country road, finally to the Taoyuan town, we spent 4 hours on the road to reach the destination---- the water source area of VOSS.

On July 5th, we arrived at Tianbao at 11:00 pm and stayed overnight there, then went towards Taoyuan at 6:00 am the next day. The mountain road was bumpy and rugged. What is worse, the mist was so thick that visibility was down to 20 meters. For safety, they stopped by the roadside waiting for a while. The hovering clouds and dense mist surrounded the mountains and we can vaguely see the outcurves of the mountains. The mist flowing among the mountains is like an ink painting. If you stepped into the mist, you would have the fantastic illusion that it seemed like walking in heaven and there would be a fairy lady to show you the right path if you needed help. After 10 minutes’ waiting, the mists cleared away and we continued our journey again.

Two hours later, we arrived at the factory site of Huabin-Voss Mineral Water. The high-end brand VOSS Company singled out Taoyuan town as its second water source area in the world; the other being in Norway.

Standing at the foot of Mount Danxia, we can listen to the crystal sound of the flowing stream. Now water pipes have been erected along the mountain lines so that the water could flow down from the top of the mountain to the factory. If you sip a drop of water from the pipes, you will be thrilled by its sweet and fragrance.

At 10:00 am on July 6th, accompanied by Zhang Weiguo, the Secretary of Communist Party of Shiyan, Chen Gang, the deputy director of Office of the South-to-north Water Transfer Project, and Yan Bin, the chairman of the Board of Huabin Group helicoptered to Zhuxi. Together they inspected on the construction sites of Huabin mineral water manufacturing project in Mount Danxia in Taoyuan.

Huabin Group is an international corporation which engages mainly in international trade, property management, sports industry, tourism and beverages.

In October in 2015, the High-end Voss Mineral Water Factory in Mount Danxia of Zhongba village in Taoyuan, was invested and constructed by Huabin Investment Corporation(China) and Zhuxi Government. The firstperiod construction would cover six hundred and fiftyseven million RMB yuan. The factory’s production capability would be three hundred thousand tons per year. It was estimated that the project will be completed and put into operation in October in 2017.

Mutual Benefits to Each Other

In March 2015, Zhang Ligang, vice chairman of Huabin Group, arrived at Taoyuan and made an on-the-spot investigation in the aspects of geological structure, water flowing rate analysis, product trafficking and the location of the factory.

All this guarantees the mutual benefits.

The product is of high quality, characteristic of natural mineral water. The water contains abundant mineral substances as strontium, selenium, alkali, sodium and etc.

The factory occupies an area as large as 118,162 square meters, and the floor area as large as 56,856 square meters.

Devotion to Local Charity

After making on-the-spot investigation, Chen Gang, Zhang Weiguo, Yan Bin, Zhang Ligang and their associates participated in the local Charity Ceremony entitled“Distributing Love, and Doing Charity for Individuals.”At the ceremony, Huabin Group donated 218,000 yuan (RMB) to Wacang Primary School of Taoyuan to improveschool’s facilities and help 52 students in poverty to finish their studies.Zhang Ligang, on behalf of Huabin Group, made a speech saying that Zhuxi will grow together with Huabin Group in the area of internationalization and diversified development. In the near future, VOSS, thriving in Zhuxi, will march to the domestic and international market which is the shared expectation of Huabin Group and Zhuxi people, and the success of the project will guarantee the Huabin Group’s promise of“Charity to Individuals”.

Zhang Ligang said, on May 22th, 2017, Huabin Cultural Foundation and VOSS Water Foundation will co-host a charitable auction in London, England. Then 6 paintings by children in Zhuxi and other paintings by famous artists home and abroad will be auctioned. And the money is intended to help the African children in poverty to drink clean water.

Beautiful scenery is the gold and silver mines. Huabin Group is committed to exploiting the resources while protecting the local environment, making the factory and the water source site into tourist attractions in the future.

“桃源？哪个桃源？”

“就是陶渊明的《桃花源记》里的那个桃源。”竹溪人都会这样告诉询问者。

桃源乡在很多竹溪人眼中就是陶渊明笔下《桃花源记》的原型，它接陕西镇平，连重庆巫溪，溯驴头峡而抵竹山官渡，处处绝壁如斧凿，淙淙溪水似玉液，更兼峡谷幽深，花木葱茏，云彩出没，禽鸟钟情，居住于此，宛如仙人。
