Village head endeavors to turn farmers' dreams into reality

Xixinzhuang now hosts over 20 enterprises of various categories, achieving industrial diversification and upgrading towards high-end and intelligent industries. With a workforce of approximately 3,000 individuals and a total output value of 520 million yuan ($72.3 million), the village stands as a beacon of success in rural development.

Looking ahead, Li exudes even greater confidence than 30 years ago, buoyed by the realization of the eight dreams of farmers and the new dream of technological advancement in rural areas.

When submitting proposals to NPC sessions, he has called for more technological support for rural areas and closely linking technology, professionals and the practical technological needs of rural vitalization to enhance the effective supply of agricultural technology.

When it comes to introducing technology to rural areas, it is crucial to select appropriate course content tailored to the needs of farmers, according to Li. Moreover, choosing competent instructors who can deliver lessons in understandable language is essential, he said, calling for an influx of tech experts to empower rural communities with knowledge and skills.

Amid the nationwide push for high-quality development and the surge in developing new quality productive forces, high-tech enterprises have taken root in Xixinzhuang. Various smart agriculture and eco-friendly technology companies have set up operations here.

Since the conclusion of this year's NPC session, Li has been busy working to promote technological application in rural areas.

"Accelerating comprehensive rural vitalization and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is fundamental to comprehensively advance Chinese modernization. It is also the greatest aspiration of farmers," he said.
