Introduction to the island

Huiyu Island, a small island of less than two square kilometers, is home to more than 270 fishing island families who make a living by fishing and mariculture.

On June 29, 2003, Huiyu island was officially electrified, and the last administrative village in Quanzhou that could not be electrified came to an end. Huiyu power supply project was listed as the key poverty alleviation project of Quanzhou City in 2003. Nearly 4 million yuan was jointly invested by the municipal government and the electric power department for the construction of the project, including the erection of 10kV land overhead lines and cross sea overhead lines, the reconstruction of 400V lines and the laying of 2.5km submarine cables. It is the first time in the history of Quanzhou electric power to lay cables on the sea floor.

In the past, there was a shortage of water on the island, and many villagers lined up beside wells. So there is such a sentence

Doggerel "not afraid of ghosts, afraid of people", describes the midnight up to carry water, not afraid to meet ghosts, afraid to see people waiting in long lines to carry water. Later, the villagers dug deep wells and built water storage tanks, which made water much more convenient. The ancient well is still preserved. The shape of the wellhead is two concentric circles, which has become a witness of an era and left many legends. In 2003, when the power supply project of Huiyu island was completed, a number of livelihood projects, such as digging wells, building roads, and building primary school teachers' dormitories, were also completed. The appearance of Huiyu island village was completely new, and the people lived in peace and prosperity on the isolated island. Using electricity to achieve the same price in urban and rural areas, 24-hour uninterrupted power supply, every household has tap water, connected to the program-controlled telephone, can enjoy "surfing" on the Internet. "Huiyu Island bid farewell to the history of" power island "and" information island "and entered the Internet era." Xiao, Secretary of the village branch, said that with the continuous help of the government and the efforts of the residents on the island, every household has a TV and a telephone. It is no longer interesting for adults to carry the latest style of mobile phones. Children can surf the Internet freely on the island.

While electricity has changed people's lives here, it has also put wings on the economy of Huiyu island. Xiao Meigui said that with electricity, the island's breeding industry has also developed, and TV sets, computers, refrigerators and air conditioners have also entered the villagers' homes. Huiyu island has more than 40 small fishing boats, with nearly 800 mu of oysters, 650 mu of kelp, millions of abalone and 100 mu of Gracilaria. The average annual income of the villagers reaches 10500 yuan. In 2008, the island's electricity consumption reached 750000 kwh, and a small shipyard has been built. Now Huiyu has developed into a modern Island collecting marine products breeding and leisure tourism.
