Ma Lianying, Sibao in Liancheng: a capable woman who grows fruits to get rich

On February 21, the author, together with Luo Yibin, chairman of the Sibao Town people's Congress, visited Ma Lianying, a deputy to the 17th National people's Congress of Liancheng County. In the Yushang orchard, Ma Lianying is teaching hibiscus and plum flower thinning techniques to her companion Jiang Manqing (left).

"Sister Lian Ying taught herself the advanced technology of growing fruits in science and selflessly taught it to more than 10 sisters." Jiang Manqing praised Ma Lianying directly.

This year's Central Committee document No. 1 emphasizes the need to vigorously cultivate and strengthen local skilled personnel to ensure the continuous increase of farmers' income. I am a deputy to the 16th and 17th National people's Congress of Liancheng County. It is my duty and responsibility to promote practical science and technology and lead villagers to grow rich through common science and technology. " Ma Lianying said humbly.

Ma Lianying's family lives in Shangyi Village, Sibao Town, and is one of the largest fruit growers in the town. Up to now, there are hibiscus plum, oil nai, peach and other fruit trees with a total area of more than 450 mu. Last year, more than 110 mu of orchards were put into production, with a total output value of more than 1.68 million yuan. In the past 10 years, we have received a total of more than 80,000 people who have come to consult fruit planting technology and experience fruit picking. It is praised by the local people as the "talented woman who gets rich through science and technology" in Sibao town.

When talking about how to "strengthen and expand" the development of the fruit industry, Ma Lianying said happily that only through hard work can we plant the sweet fruits of getting rich through science and technology. When he married her husband Wu Debiao in 1989, Sibao ten thousand mu peaches were famous both inside and outside the province. At that time, all the farmers in Sibao were "going up the mountain to plant fruit trees to get rich." The couple also went up the mountain to plant nearly 10 mu of peach, plum, nai and other fruit trees, and their hard work could only support the family. In 2002, Ma Lianying won the support of her husband Wu Debiao to contract out more than 150 mu of Guoshang orchards in the countryside. Due to the serious loss of management in the early stage, the fruit trees are about to degenerate due to insect pests and diseases. At that time, relatives and friends helped, borrowed money everywhere, and invested more than 400,000 yuan to transform the soil of the orchard. The two invited technicians to work together, and it took nearly a thousand man-days to perform a major operation on fruit trees damaged by diseases and insect pests. A series of measures such as deep digging, strong pruning, increasing application of organic fertilizer, high grafting and replacement of species, and updating varieties have been taken to restore the vitality of the old orchard. In the following year, the average yield of fresh fruit per mu exceeded ton.

In order to help more unskilled villagers in the village really rely on science and technology to get rich, in 2013, Ma Lianying, with the support of her husband Wu Debiao, successively joined the village and township family planning associations and took the initiative to serve as the head of the family planning center, so as to organize family planning households, poor households and sporadic fruit planting households in the village, and registered to establish the "Liancheng Sibao Lotus Fruit planting Professional Cooperative". On July 7 of the same year, Ma Lianying won the support of the county and township party committee government to successfully hold the first "engraving hometown" in Yushang Orchard. The "Peach and Plum picking Festival" has attracted a number of guests from both inside and outside the province to go directly to the orchard to experience fruit picking. From this, it changed the old export situation of Sibao fruit delivery and laid the foundation for Sibao ten thousand mu fruit online sales. So far, the total number of members in Shangxiang and Huangkeng villages has reached more than 160. Like Ma Lianying, there are also villagers such as Jiang Manqing and Wu Chunshou who have a large orchard in the place name "Shang Shang". Last year, Wu Jingshou, Yang Jinwang and other villagers were included in the accurate poverty alleviation targets of Sibao lotus and fruit planting cooperatives, planting 15 mu and 20 mu of hibiscus plums respectively, and the income will be trial-produced next year.

Due to the unreal situation in the fruit market, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality of fruit. The CPC Central Committee proposed to accurately help the poor; the No. 1 document of the CPC Central Committee proposed to vigorously cultivate and strengthen local skilled personnel to ensure the continuous increase of farmers' income. Therefore, I want to use advanced technology to bring local skilled personnel to their own "hematopoiesis" and help villagers really get rid of poverty and become rich by relying on science and technology. Ma Lianying said confidently. "I will take the lead in 'eating crabs', continue to increase capital investment, and renew and popularize new varieties with high yield, high quality, high price and multi-income year by year. Be moral with an iron shoulder! "

The peach blossom, plum blossom and oil nai blossom of the Yushang orchard are blooming in the spring breeze, and it is expected that Ma Lianying's orchard will be another year of high yield and income.
