Ask farmers about their new needs

College students who go to the countryside to work as village officials generally have a fire in their hearts, but at the beginning they may not know what they can do at the grass-roots level, because we are neither civil servants nor rural cadres.

In July 2009, when I first heard the title "college student village official", I went straight to the grass-roots level. For six years, I have been trying to change the local face. But the question I often think about is, what do farmers need most?

There is no doubt that the countryside needs young blood and the infiltration of advanced technology, culture and ideas. However, what is most lacking in this land is a systematic guarantee and development. At present, there are fewer and fewer young people in rural areas, and cultivated land is facing the crisis of desolation. Those who are still in the front line of farming are mainly people born in the sixties and seventies of the last century. In recent years, although the state has also encouraged the development of professional cooperatives and entrepreneurship in rural areas, and the e-commerce platform for agricultural products has gradually shone, it is all the more necessary to encourage enterprises, schools, and grass-roots development to ensure the continuous entry of new forces in rural areas. in order to make the countryside coruscate new vitality.

In terms of people's livelihood, with the solution of the problem of food and clothing, the establishment of a complete pension and medical security system has become a prominent new demand in rural areas. When I returned to the countryside in 2009, the first thing I did was to promote local farmers' old-age insurance. I have found that with compulsory education free of charge, the main cause of poverty is no longer education expenditure, but medical expenses. Although the level of security in rural areas has made great progress in recent years, how to reduce the impact of major diseases is still a serious problem.

Another system to be repaired in grass-roots development is environmental protection. I grew up in the countryside, watching the river water from clear to polluted, after treatment, there is a partial improvement, but basically can not return to the pre-pollution state. There are two reasons for this. Some places are eager to develop at any cost, and even openly move eliminated industries and polluting enterprises from cities to rural areas. Pollution is fast, but it is even more difficult to control. Especially those cross-regional rivers, which cannot be managed by one place, require clear deployment and strong cooperation. These resources and mechanisms are undoubtedly scarce in rural areas.

Relatively speaking, the internal discussion mechanism in rural areas is the most mature, but succession is a problem. When rural cadres change every three years, as long as some people are not open and transparent in dealing with collective assets and collective funds, they will plant the seeds of contradictions and lead to continuous letters and visits. After a few sessions, this has become a problem left over by history, which is even more difficult for future generations to understand or solve. However, the countryside is also a very simple place, and the communication between people is very simple. In the past two years, our Xiawei Village in Shitan Town has promoted the model of "democratic consultation and one-case discussion", which has basically avoided this contradiction. The voting of all matters involving the interests of the village shall be open and transparent, keep records and materials and publicize them to the whole village in a timely manner. Put an end to false rumors and rumors, and it has won the understanding and trust of the masses. It is an immutable truth that there will be development only when it is stable. At the grass-roots level, out of the will of the public, putting the interests of the masses first and letting the masses know in a timely manner is the only way to ensure stability.

When I was in school, one of my favorite words was "Don't wait for leisure, white youth head, empty sadness" in "Man Jiang Hong". These years at the grass-roots level, experienced a lot, but also thought a lot, I have always adhered to my dream. In my opinion, people should be kind-hearted, keep promises, and do everything well in a down-to-earth manner; officials should be public-minded, attach importance to practical work, and put the interests of the masses first. Life is only a few decades, fame and fortune is always a floating cloud. Only when we attribute it to mediocrity and really do something for the needs of farmers, can we find our original mind and not violate it.
