In 1969, the 16-year-old Xi Jinping went to Liangjiahe Brigade, Wen'anyi Commune, Yanchuan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi, and became an ordinary farmer.
During his stay in Liangjiahe, Xi Jinping almost never took a break, farming, pulling coal, damming, picking up dung... he did everything and suffered everything.
In October 2015, Xi Jinping recalled in a speech: “At the end of the 1960s, when I was less than 16 years old, I came to a small village in northern Shaanxi from Beijing to be a farmer. I worked for 7 years. At that time, rural China The poverty situation has left me with unforgettable memories. I worked hard with the villagers at that time with the purpose of making life better, but this was almost harder than climbing to the sky."
It is in the humble small mountain village of Liangjiahe that the poverty of rural China is engraved in Xi Jinping's heart.
In November 2015, Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Poverty Alleviation and Development Work Conference that our party's leadership of the majority of farmers to "lift out of poverty and move towards a well-off society" is to enable farmers to live a good life.
Xi Jinping is very concerned about the production of farmers.
In Ezhou, Hubei, he went to the rice breeding base, pulled up a rice seedling to observe the tiller, and praised "very strong"; in Siping, Jilin, he went to the corn field to observe the black soil experimental samples and the display of excellent corn varieties; in Xiaogang Village, Anhui , He walked into the wheat field to observe the growth of wheat, and understand the key to planting management in high-yield demonstration fields...
"Our generation has such a complex, we must help our people, especially our farmers, on the road of socialism, there must be no less, we are prosperous together, and a well-off society in an all-round way. Let us walk this road together." Xi Jinping's "Three Rural Complex".

"The Chinese have to carry their rice bowls in their own hands, and they have to hold their own food." Xi Jinping's words are meaningful.
The safety of seeds and provenance is getting more and more attention.
Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to persist in self-reliance and self-reliance in agricultural science and technology, start from cultivating good seeds, strengthen technical research on high-quality seeds, and rely on Chinese seeds to ensure China's food security.
In April 2018, braving the high temperature above 30 degrees Celsius, Xi Jinping came to the National Southern Breeding Research and Breeding Base.
Xi Jinping was very happy to hear that the super hybrid rice varieties cultivated by Chinese researchers have repeatedly set the world's highest rice yield records.
He emphasized that we must be determined to develop my country's seed industry, step up efforts to cultivate fine varieties with independent intellectual property rights, and ensure national food security from the source.
In December 2020, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to carry out technical research on seed source "stuck neck", determined to fight a turnaround in the seed industry.
In July this year, when Xi Jinping presided over the twentieth meeting of the Central Deep Reform Commission, he emphasized that the safety of provenance should be raised to a strategic height related to national security, and focus on solving problems, making up for shortcomings, strengthening advantages, and controlling risks.
A turnaround in the seed industry has begun.
Not only the seeds, but also a series of measures such as protecting arable land and improving the level of agricultural science and technology have been introduced one after another.

Whether or not a well-off society is well-off, the key depends on the fellow villagers.
Today, China has achieved an all-round well-off society and has historically won the battle against poverty. The focus of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" has shifted to comprehensively promote rural revitalization.
At the end of 2012, Xi Jinping braved the severe cold of minus ten degrees Celsius to Fuping, Hebei, deep in the Taihang Mountains, in order to "see the real poverty." On August 24 this year, Xi Jinping came to Daguikou, Pianqiaozi Town, Chengde, Hebei. Village, inspect and comprehensively promote rural revitalization.
The two inspections took more than eight years, one was for poverty alleviation and the other was for rural revitalization.
"We have built a well-off society in an all-round way, and our next goal in the countryside is to revitalize the countryside. Not only do cities and towns, but also villages, and villages and towns are as good as they are. It can only be achieved under the leadership of the Communist Party of my country and the socialist system of our country." In Daguikou Village, Xi Jinping told the villagers who arrived after hearing the news.
Since the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping has been investigating local areas, and comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization is an important theme.
For example, in March, Xi Jinping emphasized in the ecological tea plantation at the foot of Wuyi Mountain that agriculture is vigorous and that rural revitalization depends on in-depth development of science and technology; in June, Xi Jinping pointed out that the industry should be cultivated, Enterprise development is better coordinated with mass employment, rural revitalization, and national unity; in July, Xi Jinping made important instructions to further advance the rural toilet revolution and emphasized that the rural toilet revolution should continue to be an important part of rural revitalization during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. Work……
A cup of tea in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, a bowl of snail noodles in Liuzhou, Guangxi, Jiaya Tibetan blankets in Xining, Qinghai, and the toilet revolution in rural areas... Xi Jinping cares about these "small things" for agriculture, rural areas, and rural areas.
