　　Zhang Yanzhu is the director of Nangao Village Committee of Nankeng Town, Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. For more than a year as the director of the village committee, she has made full use of online platforms such as Douyin to sell orchids for tourism, and is known by locals as the “net red” female village chief.

　　Zhang Yanzhu, who was born in Nangao Village in 1996, graduated from Fujian Institute of Water Conservancy and Electric Power. Both parents are farmers. In the 2018 village-level general election, she was under 22 years old and returned to the village as a college student to return for election. Eventually, she was elected as the director of the Nangao Village Committee and became the youngest village official in Nanjing County.

　　Unlike many people of the same age, Zhang Yanzhu, who likes his hometown farewell to the prosperous city, returns to the countryside, "it will be a bit uncomfortable, but it also feels strong nostalgia, simplicity and tranquility, and a sense of accomplishment."

　　The mountain road is winding, and Nangao Village is located in the mountains with an altitude of more than 600 meters. The brown tiles, blue bricks and white walls of the private houses in the village are hidden by the verdant mountains and forests, and the off-road sign of the bicycle along the spacious village road is particularly eye-catching. Zhang Yanzhu told reporters that Nangao Village is a demonstration site for the construction of a village in the old revolutionary base and a city-level "beautiful village". There are more than 1,400 people in the village. The villagers mainly plant bananas, orchids and other crops.

　　Zhang Yanzhu said frankly that when he was the “big head” in the village, he had a shallow understanding of the position of the village committee director and grassroots governance. “Only encountering specific problems, I found that it was completely different from what I imagined.”

　　The village needs to requisition villagers’ banana land into paddy fields, and communicates with the villagers several times without progress, which impressed the fledgling girl. Communication and coordination have repeatedly hit the wall; lack of experience, plans, ideas are unrealistic... These make her often grieved and want to retreat.

　　"The care of the villagers, the village party branch and the village committee predecessors, my father's guidance and encouragement, let me persevere." In this way, the more frustrated and braver, Zhang Yanzhu finally understood that he wanted to "think about the problem from the villagers' perspective" and solve the villagers' problems. Worries.

　　Walk into the village to understand the villagers' production and life, discuss the issues until late at night, visit the poor households in the rain, and lead the villagers to prevent and control the epidemic... Zhang Yanzhu finally earns the villagers' trust, support and cooperation with her sincerity and respect for the villagers.

　　The villagers can’t forget that Zhang Yanzhu promotes the development of the village in practice: renovate the appearance of the village and retain the characteristics of the ancient village; promote the development of high-quality agriculture, carry out e-commerce knowledge training, and use the "company + cooperative + farmer" model to achieve orchid sales Increased revenue by nearly one million yuan.

　　For Zhang Yanzhu, in addition to the agricultural industry in the village, the development of tourism is also a "critical matter": taking advantage of the Nanjing scenic spot near the world cultural heritage "Fujian Tulou", combined with the village's Tingyunlou, Tzu Chi Palace, Guanyinshi And other tourism resources, attracting tourists to come for sightseeing and leisure.

　　To connect with the global tourism strategy and the construction of Nankeng Town's characteristic sports town, Nangao Village has begun to develop leisure sports cultural tourism. Since last year, Nangao Village has organized activities such as the half-marathon on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, Nangao Village Folk Culture Festival and other activities, attracting domestic and foreign tourists and sports enthusiasts.

　　Zhang Yanzhu also described to reporters the new "blueprint" for the development of Nangao Village, which is to build a "bicycle off-road town" that integrates leisure ecology, sports culture, orchid culture, pilgrimage culture, and Xiangxian culture.

　　In recent years, Xiangxian has donated funds to study and returned to his hometown to build leisure tourism parks; young people and college students have returned to their villages to help the development of their hometown orchid industry in the form of e-commerce and promote the revitalization of the village. A brand new Nangao Village is rising in the cohesion of more and more townsmen and young people.

　　"Rural development requires knowledgeable and cultural people to return to their hometowns for support." Zhang Yanzhu said that in the process of rural revitalization, young people should take root at the grassroots level, devote themselves to rural governance and industrial development, and strive to preserve their rural appearance and retain their homesickness.

　　As the "new generation" of grassroots governance, Zhang Yanzhu injects new vitality into the ancient village with the thinking of young people. She often holds a selfie stick and walks in the countryside to shoot, using live broadcasts to help sell agricultural products.

　　"Are you really the village head? Want to hear a story about you." She is often asked by netizens. She said: "Netizens who come to consult orchids are very curious to me, then I will use practical actions to tell you the story of youth and rural revitalization." (End)
