"It is necessary to further promote the system of special commissioners of science and technology, so that the majority of special commissioners of science and technology can write their papers in the fields." In March 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection of the Yanzike Ecological Tea Garden in Xingcun Town, Wuyishan City, Fujian Province.
In April 2021, during an inspection tour in Maozhushan Village, Caiwan Town, Quanzhou County, Guilin City, Guangxi, and seeing the thriving local grape industry, General Secretary Xi Jinping told him: "When I was in Fujian, I was a special commissioner for science and technology, and now it is being promoted across the country. Agricultural technicians are meant to sink to the grassroots level in rural areas, to do specific things that produce practical results, and this is your contribution."
Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country.
General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the "three rural" work.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has insisted on solving the "three rural" issues as the top priority of the work of the whole party, comprehensively winning the battle against poverty, launching the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, and promoting agricultural and rural development Historic achievements and historic changes have been made.
More than 20 years ago, the science and technology commissioner system took root in a dialogue between Comrade Xi Jinping and the local people in Nanping.
For more than 20 years, groups of science and technology commissioners have entered the villages and fields to show farmers, lead them to work, and help farmers make money. On the ground, it helped to achieve an all-round victory in the fight against poverty, and provided solid talent support for the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, about 290,000 science and technology commissioners have gone to the front line of poverty alleviation. They traveled through the mountains and forests and worked in the fields, realizing the full coverage of science and technology services and entrepreneurial drive in nearly 100,000 poor villages with registered cards across the country .
The new journey is an expedition full of glory and dreams, calling on the vast number of science and technology commissioners to take advantage of the momentum in this field of hope, continue to struggle, sow more seeds of science and technology to promote agriculture, and work together with the villagers to paint a beautiful picture of rural revitalization , Writing about the great changes in the mountains and countryside.
"The key to agricultural modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology, and the integration of agriculture and science and technology must be strengthened"
Nanping is a big agricultural city in northern Fujian.
In the 1990s, the extensive development mode put the local agricultural economy in trouble.
"We must use science and technology to promote agriculture as the driving force for the development of the national economy, and continuously improve the content of agricultural science and technology, so as to improve agricultural economic efficiency and develop agricultural modernization." In October 1998, Comrade Xi Jinping, then deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, went to Nanping Research and consultation on "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" provided a "prescription" for Nanping to solve the development problems of "agriculture, rural area and rural area" and thus sowed the "seeds" of a special commissioner of science and technology.
In February 1999, Nanping sent the first batch of 225 science and technology commissioners to the villages to carry out science and technology services.
At that time, Wu Jingcai had just returned from further studies in Germany and was sent to Xihou Village, Wangtai Town, Yanping District, Nanping City to help farmers solve scientific and technological problems.
Over the next 20 years, more than 10 science and technology commissioners successively came to Xihou Village to relay technology services and help the small mountain village embark on a new path of development.
Today, the annual agricultural output value of Xihou Village has exceeded 300 million yuan, and the agricultural economic structure has taken on a new look.
In 2002, Comrade Xi Jinping, who was the governor of Fujian Province at the time, conducted a special survey on the selection of cadres in Nanping City to the countryside, that is, the selection of village party branch secretaries, science and technology commissioners, and township circulation assistants. The article "Efforts to Innovate the Rural Work Mechanism—Investigation and Reflection on Selecting Cadres to the Rural Areas in Nanping City, Fujian Province" points out that this practice is a useful exploration for innovating the rural work mechanism under the conditions of a market economy, and it is worth summarizing carefully.
"Grafting at a high position and shifting the center of gravity downward", the science and technology commissioner system promotes the sinking of agricultural technicians to the grassroots in rural areas, and unblocks the "capillaries" for scientific researchers who are interested in innovation and entrepreneurship in rural areas to go deep into the grassroots frontline, which is conducive to the development of technology and talents The comprehensive advantages of the company have given agriculture the wings of science and technology.
The fundamental way out of agriculture lies in science and technology and education.
In July 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping set foot on the black soil in Lishu County, Jilin. Under the scorching sun, he chatted with agricultural experts in a corn field to gain an in-depth understanding of the "pear tree model" of black soil protection.
"The key to agricultural modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology. It is necessary to strengthen the integration of agriculture and science and technology, and strengthen the cooperation between agricultural bases and scientific research institutes. Experts and scholars must truly write papers on the earth, so that farmers can master advanced agricultural technology and use the best technology to grow crops. Produce the best food." General Secretary Xi Jinping urged.
Wuyi Mountain is the birthplace of oolong tea and black tea.
Yanzike Ecological Tea Garden in Xingcun Town, Nanping City, Fujian Province is full of vitality, layered inlaid among green water and green mountains.
Liao Hong, a professor at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, is also a science and technology commissioner for Gonggeng.
Since 2015, she has led the team to build a demonstration ecological tea garden here with a cumulative area of over 10,000 mu and a radiation of over 100,000 mu.
Ecological tea gardens not only increase the yield of tea, but also improve the soil and improve the quality of tea. The price of tea is nearly 30% higher.
On the afternoon of March 22, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Fujian, came to Yanzike Ecological Tea Garden in Xingcun Town to inspect the growth of spring tea and learn about the development of the local tea industry.
Hearing that under the guidance of the science and technology commissioner team, the tea garden has highlighted ecological planting, which has improved the quality of tea and increased the income of tea farmers. General Secretary Xi Jinping is very happy.
The general secretary said to the villagers: "In the past, the tea industry was a pillar industry for your poverty alleviation, and it will become a pillar industry for rural revitalization in the future." .
During the inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about the special commissioner system for science and technology that originated in Nanping.
The general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to sum up the experience of the science and technology commissioner system, and continue to improve, consolidate and persist.
The key to agricultural and rural modernization lies in technology and talents.
The development of modern agriculture on saline-alkali land faces many problems that need to be overcome.
Due to seawater invasion and other reasons, more than 80% of the land in the Yellow River Delta is saline-alkali land.
In recent years, through ecological utilization and seed industry innovation, a variety of saline-alkali-tolerant crops with high yields and good varieties have grown in saline-alkali land.
On the morning of October 21, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Yellow River Delta Agricultural High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone for investigation and investigation. Comprehensive utilization, breeding and extension of saline-alkali-tolerant plants.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of many scientific researchers, this area has undergone a gratifying green transformation.
During the investigation and investigation, General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged the agricultural technicians: "The paper is written on the earth, and you have done a good job."
The key to agricultural modernization is the modernization of agricultural science and technology.
Today, science and technology has become the most important driving force for my country's agricultural and rural economic and social development, and has played a vital role in ensuring national food security, leading industrial development, increasing farmers' income, and protecting the ecological environment.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire, and now there are 'Kote factions' all over China"
Xiajiang Village in Fengshuling Town, Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province has always been famous.
In the past, it was famous because of its "poorness". The small mountain village surrounded by mountains has less than one mu of arable land per capita. The local folk song sings like this: "House with earthen walls, half a year's grain, if there is a girl, don't marry Jiang Lang."
Today's Xiajiang Village has gurgling streams, distant mountains and daisies, and the appearance of the village has been further improved. It has become a well-known leader in rural revitalization.
In 2003, Comrade Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, visited the village, asked about the situation in detail, and discussed countermeasures together: "The province will study it and send a special commissioner for science and technology to your village."
Comrade Xi Jinping said that we must guide agriculture with the concept of modern development, seize the opportunity of current scientific and technological progress, establish a mechanism for the flow of modern production factors to agriculture, and focus on changing the mode of agricultural growth.
In 2002, the Ministry of Science and Technology carried out a pilot project of special commissioners of science and technology in five northwestern provinces and regions including Ningxia; in 2004, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the former Ministry of Personnel expanded the scope of the pilot project of special commissioners of science and technology... The system of special commissioners of science and technology has gradually risen from local practice to national level Action, showing strong vitality.
Since 2012, the work of science and technology commissioners has been included in the No. 1 Central Document many times.
In 2016, the State Council issued "Several Opinions on In-depth Implementation of the Special Commissioner System for Science and Technology", making institutional arrangements for the work of special commissioners for science and technology at the national level for the first time.
Senior agronomist Liu Guoying, "Hazel Immortal" Zhan Yisheng, "Grape Immortal" Xie Fuxin, "Mushroom King" Liu Ruibi, "Farmer Academician" Zhu Youyong... For more than 20 years, the touching stories of science and technology commissioners have been endless. A door to get rid of poverty and become rich.
In the TV series "Mountain and Sea Love", there is a professor named Ling Yinong. He came to Ningxia from Fujian to teach farmers how to grow mushrooms to get rid of poverty. His prototype is Lin Zhanxi, a science and technology commissioner and professor of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University.
During the period of Fujian-Ningxia poverty alleviation cooperation, Comrade Xi Jinping, then deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, personally appointed him and sent him to Ningxia to spread Juncao technology.
In 1997, Lin Zhanxi's team took six boxes of Juncao to establish demonstration production bases for Juncao industry poverty alleviation in more than a dozen counties in Ningxia.
Edible mushrooms have become a pillar industry for local industrial poverty alleviation.
Over the past few decades, Lin Zhanxi not only brought Juncao technology to Minning Town in Ningxia, but also promoted this "rich grass" and "happiness grass" to more than 500 counties and districts across the country, increasing the income of thousands of farmers.
Not only that, Lin Zhanxi's team also spread Juncao technology to more than 100 countries and regions in the world.
In 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the science and technology special commissioner system, pointing out that since the implementation of the science and technology special commissioner system for 20 years, it has insisted on sinking talents, sending science and technology to the countryside, and serving "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". The publicity team of the "Sannong" policy, the disseminator of agricultural science and technology, the leader of technological innovation and entrepreneurship, and the leader of poverty alleviation in rural areas have given farmers a greater sense of gain and happiness.
In the golden autumn season, in Nangou Village, Gaoqiao Town, Ansai District, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, the apple orchard on the mountain is full of fruits, and it is a scene of a bumper harvest.
In the past, the villagers in northern Shaanxi who lived on the Loess Plateau built terraced fields and planted crops, facing the loess and back to the sky, working with old hoes, planting widely and harvesting little, which was very hard.
Today, apples are planted on the hillsides. They have effectively solved the problem of water use and irrigation by building dams, implementing drip irrigation and fine-grained management.
On October 26, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping who came to inspect had a cordial exchange with the fellow villagers.
The general secretary praised that this is agricultural modernization, and you have found a suitable direction for industrial development.
A series of advanced and applicable agricultural technologies have blossomed and borne fruit, the life of each farmer has undergone happy changes, and each village has achieved magnificent changes... The science and technology commissioners let technology and agriculture "hand in hand", injecting new vitality into the revitalization of the countryside. Breed new hope.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire, and now there are 'Ketpai' all over China." In March 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Nanping, Fujian, "Agriculture is full of vitality, and rural revitalization depends on the in-depth development of science and technology. "
"We must insist on taking the science and technology special commissioner system as an important task for scientific and technological innovation talents to serve rural revitalization and do a better job."
Li Baoguo, a national outstanding science and technology commissioner, was a professor and doctoral supervisor of Hebei Agricultural University before his death.
He has been rooted in the mountains for more than 30 years, and has taken the ecological management of the Taihang Mountains and the people's poverty alleviation as his lifelong pursuit. He goes to the grassroots for more than 200 days every year, covering 1.4 million acres of barren hills with greenery, and leading 100,000 farmers to get rid of the "poor hat" with the power of science and technology.
Years of high-intensity work made Li Baoguo sick from overwork. In the early morning of April 10, 2016, he suffered a heart attack at the age of 58 and died unfortunately.
In 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on the advanced deeds of Comrade Li Baoguo, and praised Li Baoguo as "a model of communists in the new era, an outstanding representative of intellectuals, and a new foolish old man on Taihang Mountain".
In February 2021, at the National Poverty Alleviation Summary and Commendation Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally presented the award to Zhao Yafu, the national outstanding science and technology commissioner.
The general secretary encouraged him with a smile and said: "Write your achievements on the earth."
Zhao Yafu, who has passed his octogenarian age this year, insists on "writing the papers on the ground and leaving the results in the farmers' homes". For decades, he has taken root in the old areas and embarked on a road of moderate prosperity in hilly mountainous areas.
On December 13, 2014, when General Secretary Xi Jinping was investigating in Jiangsu, he came to the Agricultural Park of Pioneer Village, Shiye Town, Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, and had a cordial conversation with Zhao Yafu, who provided technical services and consular support for the agricultural park.
General Secretary Xi Jinping praised him for showing farmers to see, leading farmers to work, helping farmers sell, and making farmers rich. He has won the love of farmers. The work of "three rural" requires a large number of selfless and dedicated people like him.
The general secretary emphasized that the achievements of agricultural experts should be reflected in the vast land and transform scientific research innovation into practical results.
In the final analysis, the economic and social development of rural areas lies in people.
The broad masses of farmers are the main force for rural revitalization, and more high-quality farmers who love agriculture, understand technology, and are good at management should be cultivated on the spot.
Ma Jun, a special commissioner of "Sichuan Grain and Oil" in Sichuan Province and a professor of the Rice Institute of Sichuan Agricultural University, has been going to the grassroots for a long time, disseminating new technologies, popularizing new achievements, cultivating new farmers, and training a large number of "soil experts" and "Tian Xiucai".
Yongfeng Village, Taihe Town, Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province is the largest pilot test base for new rice varieties and new technologies in Sichuan Province. In the fields of Yongfeng Village, especially when rice is entering the critical growth period, villagers often see Ma Jun busy figure.
On June 8 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here for investigation and research.
The general secretary walked into the experimental field to observe the growth of rice.
The general secretary pointed out that to promote agricultural modernization, we must rely on both agricultural experts and farmers.
It is necessary to strengthen the promotion and application of modern agricultural science and technology and technical training, organize large grain growers, and actively develop green agriculture, ecological agriculture, and high-efficiency agriculture.
Getting rid of poverty and becoming rich is inseparable from the guarantee of scientific and technological elements, and the comprehensive implementation of the rural revitalization strategy cannot be separated from the strong support of scientific and technological innovation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that innovation is an important support for the overall revitalization of the countryside.
It is necessary to insist on taking the science and technology commissioner system as an important task for scientific and technological innovation talents to serve the rural revitalization and to do a better job.
At present, the science and technology commissioner system is injecting vitality into rural revitalization, and science and technology commissioners are also becoming an important new force for rural revitalization in the new era.
Now, we are embarking on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, marching towards the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the most arduous and arduous task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way is still in the countryside.
Adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integrated development of urban and rural areas, and smooth the flow of urban and rural elements.
Accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country, and solidly promote the revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations.
If the nation is to rejuvenate, the village must be rejuvenated.
As long as we continue to increase support, expand the talent team, improve organizational forms, innovate assistance models, improve service effectiveness, and explore long-term mechanisms, the science and technology commissioner system will surely glow with stronger vitality in the new journey, allowing " The "flower of science and technology" is more splendid in the field of hope.
