Where will the "Urban to lead the countryside" approach?

　　To narrow the gap between urban and rural development and the living standards of residents, it is necessary to vigorously reform and explore in promoting the two-way free flow of urban and rural factors and the rational allocation of public resources, and use industry to supplement agriculture and urban areas to lead rural areas.

　　Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Key Tasks for New Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration Development in 2022" (hereinafter referred to as "Tasks"), which are promoting urbanization construction with county towns as an important carrier, promoting urban public services to rural areas, and promoting urbanization. The extension of infrastructure to the countryside has been clearly deployed.

　　What is the current status of urban-rural integration development?

What urbanization conveniences have rural people enjoyed?

How much room is there for the development of "Using the city to lead the countryside"?

　　"Employment at home" has high gold content

　　At present, there are more than 900 million people living in cities and towns in China.

Experts pointed out that in the future, after the country basically realizes urbanization, there will still be about 400 million people living in rural areas.

　　"To narrow the gap between urban and rural development and the living standards of residents, it is necessary to make great efforts to reform and explore in promoting the two-way free flow of urban and rural factors and the rational allocation of public resources, and provide institutional guarantees for the modernization of agriculture and rural areas with industry supplementing agriculture and urban and rural areas." The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said.

　　How to realize "Urban to lead the countryside"?

In terms of development layout, the "Mission" emphasizes promoting the coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns, and promoting the formation of a spatial pattern of urbanization that is dense, divided and coordinated, and well-functioning; in terms of development priorities, the "Task" requires promoting county towns as important The urbanization construction of the carrier supports the development of a number of county towns with good location advantages and industrial foundations, strong resource and environmental carrying capacity, and good economic conditions for agglomeration of population.

　　In this process, many places actively promote urban resources to radiate to counties and townships, improve the level of rural development, and help rural laborers achieve "employment at home".

　　Some rely on convenient transportation to develop characteristic tourism.

The Simola Wa Village in Zhongzhai, Sanjia Village, Qingshui Township, Tengchong City, Yunnan Province is 12 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Tengchong.

In recent years, Tengchong has increased the radiation of transportation infrastructure construction. A large number of transportation arteries connecting urban and rural areas, such as Smola Beautiful Highway, Zhongzhai Transit Road, and Tuofeng Road, have been built and opened to traffic.

At the same time, the local area actively invests in the construction of cultural and tourist attractions such as Bajiao Pass, Dazhai Rural Scenery, Yujiaying Tea Sea, Qingshui Canyon, etc., and guides villagers to set up tourism professional cooperatives to increase employment and income.

　　"More and more tourists come to our village's special attractions to 'check in'. After I joined the cooperative, not only can I get a fixed salary every month for work at the door of my house, but also dividends at the end of the year!" Simora Xingfu Wa Township Tourism Professional Cooperative Council Member Zhao Xingshuang said happily.

　　Some develop the economy of the park and create industrial clusters.

At 7:30 in the morning, Li Baozhong, a villager in Caizhuang Village, Zhengjia Town, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, rode an electric car and went to work at the nearby Tianxin Retainer Co., Ltd.

Compared with simply farming, going to work in a factory gives Li Baozhong more confidence for the future. "Generally, you can get off work at 5:30 in the afternoon, and you can eat and rest in the company at noon. The monthly salary can be more than 4,000 yuan." Li Baozhong said .

　　Jiang Zhijian, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhengjia Town, told this reporter that Liaocheng City has a well-developed bearing industry and has a bearing industry chain with a complete production, processing and sales system and strong supporting capabilities.

In recent years, in order to better enhance the urban carrying capacity, Zhengjia Town has actively promoted the concentration of industrial enterprises in the park, the concentration of residents in the community, and the concentration of cultivated land in large-scale operations, helping farmers to find employment and consumption nearby, and solidly promote rural revitalization.

"As the effect of industrial agglomeration grows, more and more people will come to our town to work and start businesses," Jiang Zhijian said.

　　Public service expands rural coverage

　　To promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, it is necessary not only to promote the equalization of basic public services in urban areas, but also to promote the coverage of urban public services to rural areas.

To this end, the "Mission" proposes various measures such as "actively building an urban and rural school community", "promoting the sinking of urban high-quality medical resources to the county", and "improving the elderly care service network connecting counties and villages", which has inspired many rural residents. .

　　There will be more choices in life.

Fu Zitu, 54, has been working in the Yangtze River Delta for a long time.

In recent years, as he grew older, he chose to return to his hometown in Jintao Town, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, to prepare for a "slow life".

"Going out to work is to make more money. Now, there are still many opportunities to go out to work, but the development of my hometown has been good in the past few years, so I don't want to go out anymore!" Fu Zitu said, don't look at the fact that his hometown belongs to a village or town, now everything is good. Can buy, not worse than Nanjing, Hangzhou and other big cities.

In particular, the medical conditions are much better than before, which is also an important reason why I decided to return to my hometown.

　　The quality of life will be higher.

Chen Meihua, who lives in Baoding, Hebei Province, found that the 5G network, traffic roads, education and other resources originally concentrated in the city have been extended to the vast rural areas, which are rapidly improving the quality of rural life.

"Look, many people are dancing and exercising in the newly built square. The library in the village has more and more books, and even the content of people's chat after tea and dinner is more trendy and close to social hotspots." She said that the country is actively promoting the development of urban infrastructure. The extension of rural areas and the coverage of public services and social undertakings in rural areas will undoubtedly bring the quality of rural life closer to that of cities, which is a real benefit to the common people.

　　"According to the requirements of the "Task", in the future, the county will be further strengthened in terms of public service facilities, environmental infrastructure, municipal public facilities, industrial supporting facilities, and commercial system construction. This is conducive to returning migrant workers to settle down in the county, further consolidating and strengthening County economic development." Liu Lijie, a market analyst at Shell Research Institute, told this reporter that this will help stimulate rural population consumption and release the consumption potential of about 400 million rural population.

With the deepening of rural aging, there is still much room for improvement in the level of income, pensions, medical and health services of the elderly who remain in rural areas.

"The "Task" mentioned that the development of rural mutual assistance services for the elderly will help improve the various problems faced by rural residents in the elderly," she said.

　　Improve the village's own "hematopoietic function"

　　With the city leading the countryside, industrial development is the key.

According to the data of the enterprise survey, as of March 22, the number of registered enterprises in administrative units (townships, towns, villages) at the county level and below was the largest in Jiangsu Province, with a total of 8.8153 million, Guangdong (7.0388 million), Shandong (6.6911 million). 10,000), Zhejiang (5.2088 million), Henan (5.1782 million) and other provinces followed closely.

From the perspective of increment, the registered volume of such enterprises in the past three years has grown rapidly in Hainan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Fujian, Chongqing and other places; from the perspective of industry distribution, such new enterprises in 2021 are mainly distributed in the retail and wholesale industries , catering, residential services and animal husbandry.

　　Only when the industry develops can the rural economy be vigorous.

Experts said that measures such as "building a cold chain logistics, e-commerce platform, and farmers' market network connecting urban and rural areas, and building important agricultural product storage facilities and urban and rural cold chain logistics facilities" proposed by the "Task" focus on improving the "hematopoietic function of the rural economy". "The key point.

　　In Shaanxi Wugong, problems such as low standardization, uneven production management techniques, and inability to match cold chain transportation once hindered the healthy development of the local kiwifruit industry.

Feng Quanpu, vice president of JD.com, said that in September last year, JD.com and Wugong County jointly built an intelligent supply chain center that integrates fruit procurement, refrigeration, processing, sorting, packaging, and logistics and distribution.

The center is equipped with the most advanced automatic sorting equipment in the world, which not only has a sorting capacity of 10 tons per hour, but also supports the monitoring of various quality indicators including kiwifruit weight, size, sugar content, and appearance defects.

"The kiwifruit industry in the county has developed better, which has effectively improved the market bargaining power of local farmers." Feng Quanpu said.

　　In Yangqu, Shanxi, the weak ability of farmers to apply digital technology was a major shortcoming that restricted local high-quality development.

Today, urban digitization and network infrastructure are rapidly infiltrating into rural areas, and the "digital divide" between Yangqu County and big cities is rapidly narrowing.

According to the relevant person in charge of Lenovo Group, in view of the digital shortcomings in the agricultural production process of the 10 closed demonstration areas of organic dry farming in Yangqu County, the company adopted a new IT architecture and Service capabilities, providing smart agricultural solutions.

　　Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with this reporter that with the continuous improvement of the mechanization and intelligence of agricultural production, more labor will be released in rural areas.

To promote new urbanization, it is necessary to comply with the laws of economic development, realize a more rational flow of factors among metropolitans, small cities, county towns, townships, and rural areas, and a more rational layout of the industrial chain. Urban-rural integration and urban-rural integration, while avoiding the hollowing out of the rural population.

He believes that, in the next step, to implement the requirements of the "Mission" and better release the potential of "bringing the city to the countryside", it is necessary to make further efforts in transportation, logistics, network communication, etc., to guide the industrial chain originally concentrated in big cities to change. It extends and sinks in many counties and villages.
