Xintang Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou, known as "China's Famous Cowboy Town", is currently the largest denim clothing production base and export base in China. Datun Village, Xintang Town, has abundant natural and cultural resources, rich in agricultural products, and the local area is creating a "tou yan village", hoping to cultivate new agricultural talents and promote rural women to achieve self-improvement.
As the new director of the Guangdong Province Women Entrepreneurs Association, He Shan, a young Hong Kong who works in the e-commerce industry in Guangzhou, contacted the local village committee to systematically train women in e-commerce knowledge. "In Datun village, many villagers have fields to grow fruits and other crops, and after research, we found that they also have the desire to sell goods." He Shan said, "We can see that there are many positive women here, we value the power of women, and hope to inspire the original communication power and revitalize the hometown by imparting more scientific knowledge." ”
The key to rural revitalization lies in people. Compared with the traditional "donate money and materials", He Shan hopes to teach people "fishing". At the end of April this year, He Shan and the Guangzhou Women and Children Welfare Association launched the 4 "Microlight Project" in Datun Village to share the knowledge of private domain e-commerce for local women, help them learn to master employment skills and gain more life choices.
"In addition to adding e-commerce trend analysis to the course content to give them a better understanding of the development of the Internet market, activities such as paper-cutting will be added to cultivate their pursuit of art and beauty." At the same time, He Shan said, her team and the village committee are constantly discussing accelerating the construction and improvement of local supply chains, promoting the commercialization of agricultural products, and paving the way for rural women to "sell goods".
In the past four years, He Shan's team has cooperated with a number of public welfare charities to launch a series of activities of "Microlight Project". For example, in the Qiannan area of Guizhou, nearly 4 local women were provided with intangible cultural heritage handicrafts training such as seedling embroidery and batik, expanding rural characteristic industries and promoting the inheritance of local intangible cultural heritage. Through live broadcast sales, new media platform operation training, etc., the glimmer of "unlimited power" is gathered little by little to help rural women find employment.
"There are many volunteer groups and charitable organizations in Hong Kong and Macao, and young people have developed the awareness and habit of practicing social responsibility since childhood, believing that they can give back to the society with a certain strength, and business practitioners will take social responsibility as a must." He Shan said that he plans to cooperate with universities in Hong Kong to carry out relevant research topics to allow more Hong Kong and Macao young people to further understand and participate in rural development in the mainland, while gathering think tanks to promote rural revitalization.
"Half a month ago, I learned at City University of Hong Kong that school clubs are carrying out memory inheritance activities related to the Dragon Boat Festival in Hong Kong, and I think Hong Kong youth can give new ideas and ideas to promote the development of intangible cultural heritage skills in rural areas in the mainland." He Shan said that this year he plans to organize Hong Kong and Macao student groups to exchange in the mainland, "I know that many people are doing this now, but I hope that there will be new breakthroughs in the activities, for example, we can integrate the link of rural cultural inheritance into the activities, so that Hong Kong and Macao young people can further understand and disseminate it."
In addition to making efforts in public welfare, Shan Ho pays attention to the development of Hong Kong and Macao students in the Mainland. In 2023, the "1000 Enterprises and 28 Talents" internship program for Hong Kong and Macao university students in Guangzhou is being launched, which will integrate no less than <>,<> positions and recruit young people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan under the age of <> to participate in internships in Guangzhou. As the chief promoter of this year's "<> Enterprises and <> Talents" internship program, she said that she has held several rounds of publicity in universities in Hong Kong and Macao, and is currently entering the interview and job matching stage, hoping to help Hong Kong and Macao students connect with the society in advance during the internship.
"We hope to encourage Hong Kong and Macao young people who participate in internships to use their leisure time to better participate in public welfare activities." He Shan believes that the young generation should not only enhance their international vision and their own capabilities and devote themselves to the construction of the Greater Bay Area, but also assume social responsibilities and become a bridge for exchanges and integration in the Greater Bay Area. At the same time, she called for more Hong Kong and Macao youth to participate in activities such as rural revitalization and traditional cultural inheritance, so as to empower the high-quality construction of the Greater Bay Area and the all-round growth of Hong Kong and Macao youth.
