Who will build the countryside? Attracting capable people to return to their hometowns has great potential
2023-08-29
Who will build the countryside? Recently, nine departments including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Implementation Plan for the" My Hometown and My Construction "activity, which proposes to organize farmers to construct in the township, advocate for college students to construct in the township, mobilize capable people to return to the township for construction, attract migrant workers to return to the hometown for construction, and guide entrepreneurs to enter the township for construction. The document clearly encourages and guides retired cadres, retired teachers, retired doctors, retired technical personnel, and retired soldiers to return to their hometowns and settle down, attracting social attention. As young and middle-aged labor force goes out to work, "who will farm and how to farm" has become a challenge in the agricultural field. Similarly, as high-quality talents leave villages and enter cities, "who will build villages and how to build them" has also become a challenge in the rural field. Rural development requires funding, technology, management, and services, all of which are inseparable from talent. However, due to the siphon effect of cities and the relative weakness of rural areas, there is a long-term shortage of capable people and vitality in rural areas. Farmers are the main body of rural construction, but relying solely on left behind farmers can no longer meet the requirements of high-quality rural development, and fresh blood must be added. Nowadays, urban residents, who have been living for three generations, mostly come from rural areas. Sangzi has a deep affection, and as long as there is a chance, many people want to return to their hometown and stay. Many of them have both economic strength and broad perspectives, as well as professional knowledge or practical experience. For them, choosing to return to their hometown involves both practical considerations for career development and value realization, as well as emotional sustenance for nurturing and returning to their hometown. It can be seen that once the homesickness and nostalgia cards are played, channels are cleared, and enthusiasm is mobilized, waiting for a while will become sustainable, which will play a significant role in rural revitalization. These talented individuals, including urban retirees and entrepreneurs, as well as university graduates and migrant workers, have different backgrounds, abilities, experiences, and concepts, but they do not hinder the "gathering of talents from all over the world and using them". They will be new cells in rural areas, bringing new forms of business to the countryside. With the transition from closed to open rural society, it is increasingly presenting the characteristics of a semi mature society. To adapt to this trend in building rural areas, it is necessary to use nostalgia and nostalgia as the link, with farmers in the village and fellow villagers outside the village as the main body, so that more capable people in the village want to do things, can do things, truly do things, and succeed, and more capable people outside the village want to come back, come back, stay, and do well. Attracting capable individuals to return to their hometowns requires stabilizing expectations. Each region should clarify policy measures and service matters, implement inventory guidance, and ensure that all parties involved in the construction of their hometowns have stability, expectations, and guarantees. We need to unblock the channels of return, strengthen policy guidance, and create an atmosphere of jointly planning, building, and serving our hometown. Public finance should further support public services such as elderly care, childcare, and healthcare in rural areas, continuously improve the appearance of villages, optimize the rural business environment, remove roadblocks on the way back to their hometowns, encourage entrepreneurs to invest in their hometowns, provide migrant workers with the opportunity to work locally, motivate college students to return to their hometowns and start businesses, and give retirees the opportunity to utilize their surplus heat. Make good use of talented people who return to their hometown and enter the countryside, and strive for mutual benefit and win-win results. Rural resources naturally belong to farmers. It is essential for various entities to interact with farmers when returning to their hometowns. Traditional rural areas advocate virtue and goodness, while modern rural areas also need to emulate the virtuous. The term 'virtuous' here includes both ability and character, which are also measurable. The standard is whether we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win situation with farmers in industrial development
