  In the past few days after coming to Beijing to attend the National Party Congress, Lin Zhanxi, the representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the chief scientist of the National Juncao Engineering Technology Research Center, still maintains close communication with his team.

Sometimes he would get up at three or four in the morning to have trans-oceanic exchanges with his counterparts in Africa and Latin America.

His room was filled with various materials on Juncao research, and it was densely packed with various annotations and remarks.

  Many people know Lin Zhanxi through the "Party Representative Channel" held at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 16.

And more people are familiar with him through the hit drama "Shan Hai Qing", in which Professor Ling Yinong's character prototype is Lin Zhanxi.

  Because of "Shan Hai Qing", Lin Zhanxi's story of poverty alleviation through science and technology in Ningxia is well known to the audience.

In reality, his willingness to be an "ascetic monk" and compose the poverty alleviation experience of "mountain and sea love" is even more touching.

On October 16, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China opened in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Before the opening of the conference, the "Party Representative Channel" interview activity was held.

  Xihaigu is the collective name for the mountainous areas in the central and southern parts of Ningxia, where soil erosion is serious and the ecological environment is fragile.

"There is no grain in the pot, no firewood at the bottom of the pot, no water in the vat, and no money on the body" is a true portrayal of the life of Xihaigu people in the 1980s.

  In 1996, Fujian and Ningxia launched counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation.

In May of the following year, Lin Zhanxi and his students carried six boxes of Juncao on their shoulders and traveled to Xihaigu in the starry night.

In order to let the local people master the Juncao technology, Lin Zhanxi adapted measures to local conditions and simplified the technology to localize and simplify the technology, so that the villagers can "understand it at a glance, learn it, and do it".

Within half a year, the farmers who followed him to participate in the experiment had an income of 2,000 yuan (RMB, the same below).

  "We need to write the thesis on the land of the motherland and in the purse of farmers." Lin Zhanxi told the China News Agency that by 2007, 17,500 households in Ningxia had participated in the production of Juncao, creating an output value of nearly 100 million yuan, and the farmers who grew mushrooms The average annual income is more than 5,000 yuan.

The local people will help them get rid of the poverty-stricken Juncao, which is affectionately called "rich grass" and "happiness grass".

  What is "Shan Hai Qing"?

In the eyes of the outside world, the "mountain" refers to Xihaigu in Ningxia, and the "sea" refers to the coastal Fujian.

  Over the years, Lin Zhanxi's Juncao technology started from Fujian and has been extended to 506 counties in 31 provinces across the country.

At the same time, China's Juncao went abroad to compose another "mountain and sea love" that does not take mountains and seas as far away.

  Lin Zhanxi still clearly remembers that the first stop for foreign aid was Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province.

  More than 20 years ago, there was still a slash-and-burn tribal economy.

For the first time, he led a Chinese expert team to Papua New Guinea. Lin Zhanxi stayed for nearly 200 days, ate and lived with the local people, and trained them to learn how to grow Juncao.

In order to remember the help from China, a PNG minister also specially changed his daughter's name to "Juncao".

  In Lesotho and other countries, Lin Zhanxi created a "10-square-meter mushroom farm" model for small farmers, which can produce 1.2 tons of fresh mushrooms per year with only 10 square meters of land, giving landless farmers and urban poor the opportunity to participate in production.

  In Rwanda, the "land of a thousand hills" with serious soil erosion, intercropping and intercropping of Juncao with fruit trees, corn and soybeans to maintain soil and water has been vigorously promoted by the Rwanda Agriculture Committee throughout the country.

  In 2017, Juncao technology was listed as a key project by the China-United Nations Peace and Development Fund, and it is contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength to the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

  Today, Juncao has spread to 106 countries and regions around the world and has become a "friendly messenger" practicing the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Lin Zhanxi and his team translated Juncao technology into 18 languages ​​and spread it all over the world, cultivating more than 12,000 backbones of Juncao technology for developing countries.

  The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stated that "China has always adhered to the foreign policy purpose of maintaining world peace and promoting common development, and is committed to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind." Common interests of developing countries".

  Regarding these statements in the report, Lin Zhanxi said, "China's agricultural technology foreign aid work does not attach any conditions. We are helping them sincerely and helping the poor." Now Juncao has become a source of benefits for the people of developing countries. "Happiness Grass".

  Those who are willing to cooperate, do not take mountains and seas as far away.

  He has been crawling and rolling in fields, mountains, and deserts all his life. Although he is nearly eighty years old, the "father of Juncao" is still tirelessly helping the construction of the "Belt and Road" for Juncao and benefiting all mankind. Keep doing it until the day you can't do it anymore."
