The pace of the revitalization of China's rural villages has aroused the attention of foreign media. The revitalization of rural areas not only helps the transformation and upgrading of China's economic development pattern, but also has experienced development experience for many countries around the world.

Fresh story shows real changes

"In the past, if you can deal with the past year, even if it is a good year. Now, I have a TV and a fan ... I can even be for my grandchildren to go to college." Shi Shi, a peasant, who said in Ba Dong Village. In 2021, she made about 30,000 yuan. This is a number she dare not think when she was young. This year, the per capita income of the villagers of the Eighteen Cave Village exceeded 20,000 yuan, and in 2013 it was only 1,668 yuan. Singapore's "Straits Times" recently focused on the stories of poverty alleviation, a glimpse of the significant results of the revitalization of China's rural village.

The development of the "transformation" of China's rural areas and the viable stories in it frequently aroused foreign media's attention. In the life story of ordinary farmers, the Chinese rural rejuvenation strategy turns into visible real power.

According to Eiffi, one year ago, China announced that it has eliminated absolute poverty nationwide. Rural and mountainous areas are the main beneficiaries, and this is exactly the result of the exhibition of Dingsheng House farm in Changsha County, Changsha City, Hunan Province. Local farmer Li Guocheng (sound) describes the positive changes in the village in his eyes. "We began to improve the appearance of this area last year." He said that vegetables harvested in their own vegetable gardens can be sold without middlemen, and consumers can purchase these agricultural products through mobile phone payment. It is reported: "The characteristic industries are helping the construction of the beautiful countryside here."

"In recent years, China's rural revitalization plan has created new opportunities for farmers. Those who have been working in the city in the past can make a living in a place closer to their hometown. In 2020, the total number of Chinese migrant workers has declined for the first time in ten years, a decrease of more than 5 million." The Wall Street Journal reported.

The rural revitalization brings not only the general improvement of the quality of life of farmers, but also a significant change in the rural environment. The American "Quick Company" magazine tells a story of "turning into waste into treasure": in Liyun County, Lishui, Zhejiang, China, thousands of abandoned quarry are distributed in the local mountain landscape. Over the past year, some of them have been carefully transformed, and from the empty cave that were empty before, it became a cultural place inlaid in the rock wall. In 2021, Liyun County asked the designer to redesign 9 local quarry. So far, the three have been completed and transformed into a performance space and a library. The project completed by the Chinese provides an example for the abandoned quarry fields around the world.

According to the "Diplomat" magazine, the strategy of revitalizing China's rural village aims to promote sustainable development of rural areas, including creating a strong rural economy. This strategy crosss the important goals such as "ecological civilization" and "beautiful China" in China, and is in line with the development policies such as the development of green development and the development of green agriculture. Including green sustainable growth and strong rural economy, it shows that the central government's emphasis on environmental protection has strengthened.

Multi -party support injecting the source of the source

Data show that in the first half of this year, the total number of courier parcels in China's rural areas was 21.9 billion pieces. As of the end of June this year, 267,000 various rural express delivery service sites were built across the country, and the coverage rate of courier services in the nationwide villages in the country reached 90%.

The tentacles of the logistics industry continue to penetrate the village of China, which is a specific manifestation of rural rejuvenation. Foreign media found in the changes in rural China that factors such as policy support, talent resources, and digital economic development injected the driving source of rural revitalization.

According to Eiffi, rural tourism industry containing specialty folk cultural activities in China has become an important way for industrial poverty alleviation. Tourists' interest in folk culture allowed them to go to villages where Chinese ethnic minorities lived, and sold the special products in the village to other parts of the country to truly change the future of the locals. In Hengyang Henghe villages in Hunan, local Bai residents took turns to live broadcast online, opening up new sales channels for rice in the village. Villagers said that the annual sales of rice in the village have increased from zero to 1.13 million yuan from 10 years ago. Behind this number is their attempts to change their sales methods, remove intermediate business links, and increase profits.

According to the World Economic Forum website, in recent years, mobile Internet and digital technology have had a profound impact on China's rural economy. Alibaba's shopping website has many "Taobao Village" on Taobao. Alibaba defines "Taobao Village" as "a village operating an online store with more than 10%of the family and the village's e -commerce income exceeds 10 million yuan per year." According to Alibaba's data, there are more than 1,000 "Taobao Village" in China. In June 2022, China announced a event to encourage car manufacturers and e -commerce platforms to cooperate with sales incentives to promote offline car sales in rural and small and medium -sized cities.

The "diplomatic scholar" website reports that in order to solve the problems such as the pressure of remote rural delivery and the pressure of urban delivery, China has increased the use of delivery drones. During the delivery session, the last mile is the most expensive part, which may account for more than half of the entire transportation cost. In rural China, the cost of transportation is difficult to transport because the destination is far apart and the terrain is complicated, and the cost of delivery in the last mile is particularly expensive. As the e -commerce market in rural areas continues to grow, drones fly to remote areas to overcome logistics transportation. According to the French News Radio Station, more and more Chinese young people have decided to leave their urban life and move towards the green countryside, and some also choose to work. Young and high -level education diploma, knowing how to market, selling goods, mastering cutting -edge information and technology, so that China's "new generation farmers" have many advantages. In addition to planting and e -commerce in their fields, they also have animal breeding, characteristic homestays, rural tourism, gardening design, etc. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the choice of young people, and has introduced policies to encourage and support young people to start a business in rural areas to fight for a wider world.

Multi -nation draws on Chinese practice experience

The Straits Times reported that the Chinese government hopes to promote the increasingly prosperous scene of Eighteen Cave Village through rural revitalization to all parts of the country. The term "rural revitalization" describes a wide range of measures that the Chinese government has taken agricultural modernization and development. Rural revitalization is also a key measure to achieve common prosperity in China. Data from the World Bank show that in 2021, 37%of China's 1.4 billion people are farmers. Wang Sangui, Dean of the China Institute of Poverty Alleviation, Renmin University of China, said that China hopes that the village's revitalization can boost the development of the world's second largest economy. Rural development has the potential to promote China's new development pattern of "dual -cycle".

The path of poverty alleviation in rural China not only helps the transformation and upgrading of China's economic development, but also provides practical experience and technical help for more developing countries. Affet Jacobson, an expert in the Netherlands, said that China attaches great importance to the development of agricultural and rural areas and enhances the vitality and attractiveness of rural economy. The development and progress of rural areas will promote a more balanced and sustainable development of the Chinese economy. China's achievements in promoting rural economic development and promoting urban and rural integration have provided valuable experience for developing countries.

Representatives of the International Agricultural Development Fund Benintei and Matteo Malgio believe that in the past 20 years, the International Agricultural Development Fund, China and Africa have been carrying out South -South cooperation projects, which has promoted the technology between China and Africa. Communicate with excellent practical experience. For example, the International Agricultural Development Fund was successfully introduced by rural families in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China in early 2000. It was later promoted in several African countries through the project funded by the fund. The International Agricultural Development Fund also transfers knowledge, technology and development solutions among southern countries through the South -South cooperation facilities funded by the Chinese government. Africa can benefit a lot from China's rural development experience.

"China has done the right thing, and the income increase in rural residents has exceeded urban residents for many years. China achieved admiration, and there are many places worth learning in South Africa." It can be attributed to the following points: the first is the policy of being executed and supervised maintained coherent; second, the policy and execution intentions are smoothly conveyed in the provincial, districts and municipal institutions; third, the public participates in development and transformation. These are not unique to China, but can get the concept and principles of replication in South Africa. (Reporter Gao Qiao)
