China has also issued the rural vitalization strategy, which aims at promoting agriculture and countryside economy. The Liangjiahe Village, for instance, used to be a poor, remote area in central China’s Shaanxi province. Under the strong support of the central government, it has become the one of “China’s Most Beautiful Villages” in 2017.
President Xi Jinping used to live in Liangjiahe in the early 1970s, it was a rural village where people lived in caves and in poverty. Now people ride in on electric shuttle buses and enjoying a good life. This is all due to the rural vitalization strategy. People can leave poverty and live a happier life.
This project demonstrates that the government is making great efforts to help people achieve a better livelihood. Pursuing rural vitalization is described as a “historic task” essential for accomplishing China’s modernization goals and building a moderately prosperous society. By vitalizing its vast rural regions, China expects to see a strong agricultural sector, a beautiful countryside and well-off farmers. Rural vitalization” was one of the major aspects of developing a modernized economy.
Achievements in agricultural and rural development since the 18th CPC national congress laid the foundation for development. The supply-side structural reform in the agricultural sector has advanced, grain production capacity has made strides and agricultural modernization progressed. Despite this progress a development gap remains between urban and rural regions due principally to lack of quality and efficiency in agriculture. Agriculture and rural areas must be prioritized in choosing cadres, the allocation of resources, public financial support and public services. The conference called for the advance of integrated urban-rural development, with more focus on infrastructure, education and public services in rural areas. Besides rural revitalization calls for scientific planning and innovative thinking, with young people as the driving force behind development
When President Xi Jinping lived and worked with local farmers in Liangjiahe, he witnessed the fact that a year’s harvest could only sustain farmers for a couple of months. As recalled by a villager from Liangjiahe, ‘when President Xi lived there, no matter how bad the food was, Jinping would have a good appetite, and no matter how poor a person was, Jinping would never despise him”. This explains why president Xi is loved by everyone and he is of Great charm. A villager recalled how Xi helped him find a lost pig－the most valuable asset of the poor family. During his time in the poverty-stricken village, Xi led villagers to accomplish various things, such as building the first methane-generating pit in north Shaanxi to improve the peoples’ livelihood. His down to earth spirit won the recognition of and compliments from the villagers. President Xi made great progress and always concern people. This is one od the qualities that president must have. Because President Xi used to live in poverty-stricken area, and he knew how hard lives people had. That is why President Xi hates corruption and corrupt officials who bully people. So he took so many great measures to fighting against corruption. in this poor village, President Xi could observe many problems which enable him to make great policies concerning our daily life.
