[Explanation] Gao Ya, a deputy to the National People's Congress, is the party secretary of a grassroots young female village in Taojiang County, Hunan Province.

Since being elected as the secretary of the local Party branch of Chitang Village in 2020, Gao Ya has led the villagers to vigorously develop the grain and oil industry, set up processing bases, and create independent brands through nearly three years of hard work. In 2022, the village-level collective operating income will exceed 200 RMB 10,000 to find out a way to revitalize the countryside through industries tailored to local conditions.

  As a young village party secretary in his early 30s, while committed to activating the rural economy, Gao Ya also deeply felt the vitality brought by young people to the development of the village.

  If you develop industries like our village, I need these young people to come back and support me.

Young people are very motivated, and their thinking is relatively broad, and they can think of more channels for industrial development, how to sell (agricultural products) and help villagers solve problems.

Combine with our old comrades to bring out the best effect of our industry.

  [Explanation] Gao Ya said that the hard work of young people who dare to think and do, coupled with the rich rural experience of the elders, and the support of relevant departments in agricultural industry technology, are the foundation for Chitang Village to achieve rural economic take-off.

Today, the village is actively restoring the ecological camellia oleifera forest and further expanding the production scale of grain and oil products.

At this year's National Two Sessions, she is also planning to share the experience of Chitang Village and make relevant suggestions for rural revitalization.

  For example, the (industrial) technology in our rural areas sometimes fails to meet the standards, so we need the national level to support our rural areas in terms of technology; the second is the problem of talents, like in our rural areas, more and more young people He is unwilling to go back to the countryside, so I would like to suggest whether the state department can introduce policies in various aspects to favor our villages.
