[Explanation] In the eyes of the general public, grass is ordinary or even small, but the Juncao technology invented by Lin Zhanxi, the chief scientist of the National Juncao Engineering Technology Research Center of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, enables grass to not only grow mushrooms and control wind and sand, but also be used Come to generate electricity and make paper.

For more than half a century, Lin Zhanxi has been on the front line of scientific research and poverty alleviation. He has led China's Juncao technology to go abroad, bringing hope for sustainable development to developing countries.

On New Year's Eve this year, Lin Zhanxi, the prototype character of Ling Yinong in the hit poverty alleviation drama "Mountain and Sea Love", appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and his story was well known by the audience.

Recently, a reporter from China News Agency interviewed Lin Zhanxi in Fuzhou.

  [Commentary] Sitting in the office, 78-year-old Lin Zhanxi is still full of energy, carefully reviewing the documents.

In the 1970s and 1980s, farmers in Fujian consumed a large amount of wood to produce mushrooms, fungus and other edible fungi. In the first-line research, Lin Zhanxi paid attention to this difficult "fungus-forest contradiction".

So he began to think that he should take a path of mushroom cultivation that fits the reality of China.

  [Concurrent] Lin Zhanxuan, Chief Scientist, National Juncao Engineering Technology Research Center, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University

  Our farmers are poor, so we have to wait until the trees grow up to grow mushrooms. I think this path does not fit our actual situation. We should take a path that suits our actual situation.

Use grass instead of wood to cultivate this edible fungus.

  [Commentary] With this idea in mind, Lin Zhanxi built a laboratory from scratch and started his Juncao life.

In 1986, Lin Zhanxi finally succeeded in inventing the Juncao technology.

He quickly opened training courses in Fujian Province to promote the technology.

  The characteristic of Juncao for poverty alleviation is that it has good ecological benefits, because it is beneficial to ecological balance rather than destroying the ecology. This is the number one.

The second is the participation of thousands of households, and the development of thousands of households. The third is that we have simplified the technology so that it can be used in different regions and different places, and this benefit is relatively high.

It has relatively high economic benefits, social benefits, and ecological benefits.

  [Explanation] In the late 1990s, Fujian counterparts helped Ningxia get rid of poverty. This was also the beginning of poverty alleviation cooperation between the eastern and western provinces of China.

With Juncao, Lin Zhanxi became a member of Minning's counterpart poverty alleviation and assistance group, and started the journey of Juncao poverty alleviation for more than 20 years.

  (At that time) the registration fee of two yuan and five yuan could not be raised for the children to study. Then our current farmer, who earned a few thousand yuan in that year, his entire living conditions have changed.

Using our Juncao technology in poverty alleviation areas, we continue to assist them in technical aspects to consolidate the existing poverty alleviation effects.

  [Explanation] Nowadays, Juncao technology has been widely used and thousands of farmers have increased their income. Lin Zhanxi has also won the "National Poverty Alleviation Champion" and "National Poverty Alleviation Contribution Award".

Leveraging on the successful experience of the Minning model, Lin Zhanxi led the team to go abroad. Juncao Technology has built bridges of friendship between China and foreign countries in poverty reduction cooperation, and contributed Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom to the cause of global poverty reduction.

  [Concurrent] Lin Zhanxuan, Chief Scientist, National Juncao Engineering Technology Research Center, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University

  For the first time in human history, so many people have been lifted out of poverty. This is a great initiative. What we have done has provided a model for the world to lift out of poverty, provided a model, and provided technology, and provided them with more than 9,400 technical personnel and management. By.

It will play an active role for the development of the "Belt and Road" and the construction of a community of shared future for mankind.

  [Explanation] On Lin Zhanxi's desk, there is a globe, which is a Teacher's Day gift given to him by students. The reporter saw that on the globe, the countries where students promote Juncao technology are all labeled.

Lin Zhanxi told reporters that Juncao technology has been promoted to 106 countries, and a large number of international students have mastered this Chinese technology through training. Juncao has become a livelihood project, poverty alleviation project, and ecological project in many developing countries.

  [Concurrent] Lin Zhanxuan, Chief Scientist, National Juncao Engineering Technology Research Center, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University

  It was given to me on Teacher's Day in 2020. We hope that they can learn their skills here and return to their own country to benefit their country and contribute to the development of the Juncao industry in the world.

This is a very precious gift. As a teacher, I am the inventor of this technology. Of course I am very happy to see students understand it.

  [Explanation] At the National Juncao Technology Center of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, a piece of marble is engraved with the words "Develop Juncao Industry, Benefit All Mankind".

Today, Juncao technology has expanded from the earliest "grass instead of wood" mushroom cultivation to the fields of Juncao ecological management, Juncao fungus feed, biomass energy and new material development.

In the future, its more important application is in industry.

On February 25 this year, at the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference, Lin Zhanxi was named "National Advanced Individual in Poverty Alleviation".
