  Cuierzhuang Phenomenon (or Cuierzhuang Model) is a regional development
phenomenon or rural revitalization model driven by ICT in the information era,
characterized by the storage and transportation, processing, packaging and
online sales of agricultural products, as well as online and offline
coordination, long-distance and cross-regional economic cooperation, ethnic
blending, equality, and mutual benefit. Unlike the Wenzhou Model, South Jiangsu
Model, and Pearl River Model in the 1980s and 1990s, the Cuierzhuang Model is
not only a rural revitalization brought about by the industrialization and
modernization of northern rural areas with the characteristics of industrial
development in the information age, but also an innovative regional economic
cooperation and development model with folk nature, spontaneous formation,
equality, and mutual benefit. Taking southern Xinjiang as the production base,
Xinjiang jujubes from Hotan and Ruoqiang are continuously transported to
Cuierzhuang, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, where they are transferred,
cleaned, dried and packaged, and finally sold all over the country. With red
dates as a link, the eastern town of Cuierzhuang, which is more than 4,000
kilometers apart, connected with Xinjiang in the western region. Along the
ancient Silk Road, the farthest route can reach as far as Kashgar through the
southern Xinjiang route. Then, how did this long-distance and cross-regional
economic cooperation channel form, what are the regional economics or economic
geography principles of Cuierzhuang attracting Xinjiang jujube, and the
challenges and opportunities faced by Cuierzhuang phenomenon, etc. A
preliminary economic analysis has been carried out in this paper.
