X: 10.161836 Y: -1.253554 Chapter: 3 Page: 86 Content: Xipi VillageLocated in Fu’an City, southeast coast of Fujian Province, Xipi Village is one of the settlements for relocating the Tanka people ashore and consists of over 632 households in 7 natural villages with 2,716 people. In the past, the Tanka people, or known as the “boat people”, lived and floated on the water under extremely poor living conditions and they were excluded by the rest of the society. As a folk proverb goes, “never marry your daughter to a man on a boat”. It was common that the young boat people stayed unmarried, and the old boat people got poor and sick without getting proper medical care. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the boat people, which was once a poor and vulnerable group, have gradually settled ashore, got rid of poverty and lived a happy life through hard work with the care and support from the Party and the government.“Three steps” have been taken to ensure the settlement of the boat people. With the help of the Party and the government, the boat people in Xipi Village started to go ashore starting 1950s. The first step is to “build houses from scratch”. In 1956, with a special fund of 3,300 yuan allocated by the government, led by Party members of the Party branch, the first wood-and-adobe house was built in Xipi Village and the first batch of 6 households settled ashore. This was the first time the fishermen lived in homes ashore. The second step is to implement “sporadic resettlement”. From 1960s to 1980s, driven by the strong desire to settle ashore, some fishermen filled beaches to reclaim land and built “stone houses” to settle ashore. The third step is to implement “total resettlement”. In December, 1998, Fujian Province held a special meeting on bringing the boat people ashore and made decisions specific to the task. The government provided the land for free, took the responsibility for building the infrastructure of roads, electricity, water, communications, radio and television signals, Introduction to the Field Visit Site in Fu’an City

In 2001, all households had access to tap water at their homes. In 2013, all the last 137 households of the boat people settled ashore, marking the completion of relocation of the Tanka people.The living environment of the boat people before settling ashoreStone houses built in Xipi Village from 1960s to 1980sA bird's-eye view of the new panorama of Xipi VillageDiverse industries provide secure jobs for villagers.

As a result, the return of aquaculture has kept rising year by year. The village vigorously promotes environment-friendly cage culture facilities and adoption of new technologies and varieties. By giving full play to the roles of the Party organization and the villagers' mutual aid organization, the village has helped 510 low-income households and 80 financially-challenged households, and provides farmers with services such as technology, information, marketing, and flood control and detection, and facilitates the development of aquaculture to a higher level and a larger scale. The second is to develop the “sea transportation industry” to utilize marine resources. At present, the village has 8 iron-made vessels engaged in transportation with a total capacity of 16,500 tonnes and annual revenues of 8 million yuan, which creates over 100 jobs. The third is to strengthen the “labor service industry”. The village guides and encourages surplus labor to find jobs and do business in other places. Because of this, more than 700 people from the village are working outside and earn an income of more than 10 million yuan every year. The fourth is cultivate the “seafood processing industry” by creating the Xipi Seafood brand, marketing seafood products on multiple online and offline channels, making use of the influence of Party members, local celebrities and other groups to enhance product promotion, and processing and packaging aquatic products for sale in factory operations model to increase the income of the village and its villagers. The fifth is to develop the “fishing village tourism”. By leveraging the advantages of the fishing villages and integrating the resources of tidal flats, the village has built sites for fishery experience and leisure activities, life on the sea, research and study, and tidal flat photography, and created a cultural tourism brand of “Tanka People” (i.e., the people living on boats along the coasts and on inland rivers of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi), to generate additional income from tourism for the villagers.
