New occupations of village affairs agents have emerged in some rural areas of China

"Uncle Liu, this is my aunt's pension certificate, and the annual examination has been passed. The ID card is sandwiched in the back. Please keep it. If you need anything, just contact me. " Liu Xiyu, 59, took the little red book handed over by the girl opposite, turned it over, and carefully put it in the inner pocket of her coat.

Liu Xiyu told reporters that his wife is of the same age and receives a pension of about 800 yuan a month, which is also a large income for the family. What has always bothered him in the past is the annual review of obtaining evidence for pensions. Although he has no idea when and what documents he carries each year, he still mutters all the time in the end.

"it used to be sent to a town 15 kilometers away for annual review, and the round trip was 12 yuan for the car. If you forget your ID card, you will be blind in vain. " Liu Xiyu said that there was no such worry this year, because there was a young representative in the village, who handed in the license one day and got it the next day, so that he didn't have to go out of the village.

The girl who handed it to Liu Xiyu's little red book is called Gao Lili. Since August this year, she has become the village affairs representative of Minyi Community in Shangye Town, Fei County, Linyi County, Shandong Province. Over the past two months, she has handled more than 50 affairs for the villagers, including not only trivial matters such as ID card photocopying and letter sending and receiving, but also major events closely related to the villagers' lives, such as the replacement of medical insurance cards, the issuance of improved wheat varieties, and the stamping of village introduction letters.

Lu Fenghua, director of Minyi Community, praised Gao Lili's work. "there are many higher-level departments and miscellaneous rural affairs. I just can't remember one procedure even if I have three heads and six arms, so I can't do it in time."

In Shandong, China, far from being an affluent area, Feixian has recruited 220 full-time village-level agents like Gao Lili, covering 421 administrative villages throughout the county. Most of these agents are local college graduates. In terms of food, accommodation and transportation, Feixian provides them with as many preferential facilities as possible, with the actual monthly salary of each agent reaching 1500 yuan.

In addition to providing minimum living allowances for villagers, new rural cooperative medical care, rural old-age insurance and other livelihood issues, agents are grass-roots information investigators and rural conflict mediators.

Gao Lili told reporters that compared with other jobs, the monthly salary of 1500 yuan was not high, and when she first worked in the village, she was misunderstood by the villagers as "cheating money under the guise of doing things." but two months later, the villagers gradually regarded themselves as a family.

"although the agents are not 'classy' and handle all their parents' shortcomings, I am not the only one who praises the little things well." Said Gao Lili.
