Hiring professional managers for rural areas is a pioneering work launched by Yuhang District, Hangzhou City in exploring the new model of rural governance. Since 2019, Yuhang District has begun to have a hero post to allocate professional CEOs for rural areas. The purpose is to hope that these people can drive rural revitalization and help the development of rural collective economy. By 2021, Yuhang District has recruited three batches of "rural CEOs", which is the fourth batch this year.

These "rural CEOs" are recruited from the Yuhang District Government for the market. They are under the age of 45 and have a base salary of 180,000 yuan. The basic salary is paid by the district government. "Rural CEO" can set up its own management team, but the treatment must be from operating performance. According to the design of the Yuhang District Government, the villages equipped with the "CEO of the Countryside" shall inject villagers and collective land, assets, and resources into a company, and hand over to the "rural CEO" responsible for operation. "Rural CEO" is responsible for revitalizing these assets and resources.

Li Xiaoyun, an expert in rural rejuvenation of China Agricultural University, believes that the rural vocational manager system is an innovative model for rural revitalization and rural governance in Zhejiang Province in developed regions. The function extends to the development field. After the first trial of Hangzhou, it can be promoted in rural rejuvenation across the country in the future.

The duties of "Village CEO" are different from the village branch secretary, director of the village committee, and "village officials" of college students. The village secretary and director of the village committee are responsible for grass -roots autonomy. The college student "village officials" do not necessarily have experience and practical ability to develop economy and operate because they have just graduated. "Rural CEO" is a professional operator recruited for the market. They have industrial operations and rich social relations. They are responsible for rural industrial operations.

The key to rural revitalization is industrial revitalization. Configuring an excellent "Rural CEO" may become a new momentum of rural revitalization, which is a beneficial exploration.
