On March 8, Chen Xiaohua, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, spoke at the second press conference of the thirteenth session of the National Committee of the CPPCC National Committee about the hollowing out of the village. He said that the key to rural revitalization lies in the people. The new subject and the new peasant will adopt various policies to bring in the able-bodied people back and lead the talents in the city.
The prosperity of the industry is the focus of rural revitalization. At present, the rural population has continued to decrease, and some villages appear to be 'hollow', and how can these industries be rejuvenated?
'If a village does not have popularity or talent, the development of this village will surely fail.' Chen Xiaohua said that the key to rural rejuvenation lies in people. At the current stage, the rural labor force is indeed declining, and some villages also appear to be 'hollow'. The phenomenon should be viewed from two perspectives. On the one hand, it is an inevitable result of urbanization. Many countries in the world have experienced the outflow of rural population before the urbanization rate reached 70%. In the past five years, the rural population has settled in cities with a cumulative total of nearly 80 million, making them from farmers to residents of cities and towns. In the period to come, the transfer of rural population will increase, and it can be said that this is also objective. On the other hand, we also have to admit that when people go empty, there is no popularity, and only the old, weak, and dependent women left behind, the village is definitely not doing well. Therefore, we should pay attention to this situation and we must not treat it negatively. Otherwise, if the country is rejuvenated or if the industry is prosperous, it will fail.
Chen Xiaohua said that from the experience of some localities, the key is to focus on people. This can be done in two ways. On the one hand, we must vigorously nurture new subjects and new farmers. To do this well, one is to stay by, that is, to vigorously Cultivate local talents, especially wealth-producers and practical talents in rural areas, through them to lead the masses in developing production and do a good job in village development. Therefore, the training of practical talents in rural areas and the training of new-type farmers have played an active role in solving this problem. On the other hand, relying on guidance, it is through various policies to bring in the able-bodied people back and lead the talents in the city.
He believes that it is necessary to attract returning rural and rural personnel to the countryside for innovation and entrepreneurship: 'In fact, in the past few years, there have been about 7 million people returning to rural areas to rural areas to engage in new industries and new forms of business. Bringing vitality and vitality to the countryside, we should actively support and guide this trend.
'On the other hand, we must optimize the layout of the village.' Chen Xiaohua said that in fact, with the changes in the rural population, it will inevitably cause changes in the village. Therefore, we should start from now on from reality and consider how to optimize the layout of the village according to local conditions. The conditions of the village are mainly through the construction of infrastructure and the provision of public services to create conditions for the production and living of farmers. For villages with historical and cultural values to be protected, villages with no living conditions may have to be easily relocated. These measures will be able to retain people, lead people, and will be able to implement the various initiatives to promote the industry.
