Sichuan Yingshan paired assistance record: Gan Qun hand-painted a new picture of rural revitalization

In July 2023, Sichuan Province launched a new round of paired assistance work, with 56 assistance teams dispatched throughout the province to carry out paired assistance work; Nanchong City actively responded by establishing the Nanchong City First and Second paired Assistance Yingshan County Work Team (hereinafter referred to as the Paired Assistance Yingshan County Work Team), forming an assistance pair with Yingshan County. Li Yang, a member of the Nanchong City Supply and Marketing Cooperative Party Group and Deputy Director of the Council, was sent as the leader of the paired assistance Yingshan County Work Team and appointed as a member of the Yingshan County Government Party Group. He led 29 assistance cadres and talents selected from municipal authorities to carry out paired assistance work in various departments and townships in Yingshan.

Over the past two years, under the leadership of Li Yang, we have helped cadres and talents to root themselves at the grassroots level, leveraging their role as bridges and professional advantages. From industrial development to facility improvement, and then to talent cultivation, we have comprehensively assisted Yingshan in getting rid of its underdeveloped county status and jointly painted a new picture of rural revitalization.

A rapeseed 'strung' together to create a prosperous industrial chain

On November 21st, we walked into the rapeseed planting base in Longyan Village, Xiaoqiao Town, Yingshan County. The green seedlings were over a foot tall and growing well. The villagers were busy digging, transplanting, and fertilizing, creating a bustling scene in the fields.

This year, the rapeseed planting area in Xiaoqiao Town is approaching 20000 acres! "Said Li Zongjun, the deputy mayor of Xiaoqiao Town, excitedly. This year, the town not only continued to promote the planting of "Chuanyou 81" rapeseed on a large scale, but also selected and bred the "Yuyou 342" rapeseed variety, both of which are dual-purpose "oil vegetable" varieties that can harvest vegetable shoots and extract oil.

The promotion of 'oil vegetable' dual-use rapeseed varieties can be traced back to 2023, "said Li Zongjun. At that time, Cheng Long, the deputy leader of the paired assistance team in Yingshan County, was appointed as the deputy mayor of Xiaoqiao Town. At the beginning of the assistance work, Cheng Long clearly defined the assistance ideas for developing the agricultural industry and would consult with the party and government leaders of Xiaoqiao Town at the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Under the advice of experts, the 'Chuanyou 81' rapeseed variety was selected. At the same time, experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences also regularly came to Xiaoqiao Town to guide field management.

At the beginning of 2024, the first crop of "Chuanyou 81" rapeseed sprouts will mature and be harvested. These rapeseed sprouts are rich in various trace elements such as zinc and calcium, and they are tender and delicious. As soon as they are launched, they have become a "hot commodity", and distributors from Sichuan and Chongqing have come to order them. The rapeseed sprouts from Xiaoqiao have also become famous for being reported by national, provincial, and municipal media.

Although good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, Cheng Long knows in his heart that good agricultural products are not enough, sales are the key. If the first batch sells well, in order to establish a stable market and supply in the long run, the industry can go far. Li Zongjun said that Cheng Long has been visiting large supermarkets in Chongqing and Chengdu, and has been making door-to-door connections with each one. Hard work pays off. Large supermarkets such as Yonghui and New Century have recognized the quality of this rapeseed sprout and signed long-term acquisition agreements.

The variety of rapeseed is upgrading, the planting area is expanding, and the yield is constantly increasing, "said Li Zongjun. From trial planting 8000 acres two years ago, to expanding to 13000 acres last year, and then expanding the planting range to towns such as Luoshi and Dongsheng this year, the planting area of rapeseed for both oil and vegetables has exceeded 20000 acres.

The rapeseed varieties introduced by Cheng Long are indeed good! Over the past two years, they have brought more than 5 million yuan in revenue to Xiaoqiao Town, "said Li Zongjun. He calculated with Cheng Long that planting 1 acre of" Chuanyou 81 "can yield 3 rapeseed sprouts per season, about 500 pounds, and can be sold for about 1100 yuan; After the rapeseed matures, it can harvest about 300 pounds of rapeseed and sell for over 1000 yuan. If ordinary rapeseed is planted, the total income per acre is only over 800 yuan. The new variety has doubled the income, and the tangible benefits have directly increased farmers' planting enthusiasm. It is reasonable for the rapeseed planting area to steadily increase.

Xiaoqiao Town has once again made an 'article' on rapeseed, "said Li Zongjun. This year, Cheng Long made a special trip to the Oil Crop Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences to investigate the new microwave technology for rapeseed oil extraction. This is a newly promoted plant oil extraction technology in recent years. The rapeseed oil extracted using this technology has a rich aroma, pure color, high oil yield, and can preserve nutrients to the greatest extent possible, which can further increase the income of rapeseed planting.

Returning to Xiaoqiao Town, Cheng Long and the town's party and government leaders utilized idle state-owned assets to build an agricultural product deep processing industrial park. With a paired assistance fund of 2 million yuan, they purchased 7D oil pressing equipment with a daily oil pressing capacity of 5 tons, and also built drying rooms and storage warehouses.

After the industrial park is built, it can not only process local rapeseed in Xiaoqiao, but also provide services to the surrounding areas, "said Li Zongjun. Xiaoqiao Town has already started to apply for trademarks for local agricultural products. In the future, the rapeseed oil extracted by the industrial park will further enrich the connotation of Xiaoqiao Town's agricultural products.

From selecting a seed to cultivating an industry, Xiaoqiao Town has now formed a complete industrial chain of "planting processing sales". With the rise of the rapeseed industry in Xiaoqiao Town, it has also become a shining example of promoting local economic development.

To revitalize a new industry, one must have vision, perseverance, and persistence, "Cheng Long said frankly. The rapeseed industry chain in Xiaoqiao Town has grown from scratch, from small to large, and he has put a lot of effort into it. However, as the industry continues to thrive, he feels that everything is worth it.

The pace of rural revitalization is accelerating again with the use of funds to moisten the water

On November 22nd, the tourist check-in point in Jiantong Village, Luoshi Town, was particularly lively. A group of young couples gathered around the newly built love themed landscape sketch to take photos, and the air was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

This is the landscape we built next to the 520 meter 'Love Runway' in the village. After it was built, there have been many young people coming to check in, "said Deng Wei, a member of the paired assistance Yingshan County work team and deputy mayor of Luoshi Town. This year, when the sunflower flowers in Jiantong Village were in full bloom, it attracted many citizens to come and play; Now this romantic check-in spot has regained popularity and is sure to further drive the development of the local cultural and tourism industry.

The money for this project comes from paired assistance funds, "said Peng Xinchao, deputy mayor of Luoshi Town. This year, Jiantong Village used 1 million yuan of paired assistance funds to do several beneficial things for the people: in addition to building love themed check-in points, more than 190 solar street lights were installed in the village, sports and fitness venues were built in residential areas, and fitness equipment was provided.

In addition, we also used paired assistance funds to purchase two dedicated transformers, renovate the lines, and provide power support for two irrigation stations in the village, "Peng Xinchao added.

Peng Xinchao said, "By making good use of the assistance funds, it is still the people who benefit." With fitness facilities, villagers can exercise without leaving the village, and their mental outlook is different; After upgrading agricultural facilities, the local agricultural industry has developed more smoothly, and crop rotation has become much more convenient.

Not only did Luoshi Town activate the agricultural and tourism industry through assistance funds, but the paired assistance Yingshan County work team also has many practical measures in attracting investment. Duan Biao, Deputy Director of the Maintenance Department of the County Highway Bureau, has a significant say.

As a member of the paired assistance team for Yingshan County, Duan Biao was originally a staff member of the Engineering Department of Nanchong Highway Bureau and has extensive experience in road maintenance. Since the start of the assistance work, he has traveled all over the national and provincial roads in Yingshan County. After on-site inspection, he found that many roads have been neglected and poorly maintained for a long time, and the road conditions are poor. Some of the damaged roads also have safety hazards.

These roads need to be repaired quickly! "After understanding the situation of the county's national and provincial highways, Duan Biao and the County Highway Bureau coordinated with the Provincial Highway Bureau. After experts from the Maintenance Department of the Provincial Highway Bureau conducted on-site inspections in Yingshan, more than 7 million yuan of special funds were allocated for the maintenance of national and provincial roads in Yingshan County. Thus, the maintenance of national and provincial roads in Yingshan County has officially been included in the provincial-level project "Panzi".

The Huangdu Bridge on Provincial Highway S412 and the Sifengxi Ferry Bridge on Provincial Highway S101 have both been repaired and reinforced. ”Yang Xuan, Deputy Director of the County Highway Bureau, said that the 2024-2025 dangerous bridge renovation and hidden danger rectification project in Yingshan County has also been included in the provincial project library, and is expected to receive more than 13 million yuan in subsidy funds to repair, reinforce or demolish 11 dangerous bridges on provincial, county and village roads. The implementation of these projects is all thanks to Duan Biao

According to Yang Xuan, during the more than two years of assistance, Duan Biao and the County Highway Bureau have coordinated with relevant provincial and municipal departments to allocate over 200 million yuan in funds, all of which have been used for projects such as ordinary national and provincial road maintenance and the renovation of dangerous (old) national and provincial roads.

Good steel should be used on the blade. The paired assistance work team in Yingshan County has spent every penny they have earned on serving the people and supporting rural revitalization. The team members actively linked social resources, concentrated funds, and activated assets, and accomplished a series of practical tasks: Xiaoqiao Town used 2 million yuan of paired assistance funds to build a new agricultural market, standardized market order, and opened up the "last mile" of agricultural product sales; Chaoyang Village in Dongsheng Town relies on assistance funds to invest and distribute dividends to strengthen the village's collective economy, with an income of over 100000 yuan in two years

Up to now, Nanchong has allocated 97.78 million yuan of pairing assistance funds to Yingshan County, helped win 430 million yuan of rural revitalization bridging funds, and coordinated more than 1.2 billion yuan of various project funds, medium - and long-term treasury bond funds.

Talent 'engine' strengthens foundation, team building adds vitality

I am truly grateful for Teacher Zhu's guidance and cultivation! "Recently, Liu Chunlan, a teacher at the Yuying Road Government Kindergarten in Yingshan County, successfully passed the 2025 preschool character education teaching case exhibition in Nanchong City and ultimately won the first prize. Holding the bright red certificate of honor, Liu Chunlan was filled with gratitude.

The "Teacher Zhu" in Liu Chunlan's mouth is named Zhu Xia. She is not only a teaching and research officer for preschool education at Nanchong Education Science Research Institute, but also a teaching expert for the "One Village, One Child" counselor capacity improvement project at Xihua Normal University. She is also an editorial board member of the Sichuan Provincial Kindergarten Curriculum Resource Compilation and Review Committee. Since Nanchong City paired up to assist Yingshan County, Zhu Xia has been serving as the Deputy Director of Yingshan County Education Science Research Institute; Over the past two years, she has leveraged her professional expertise to build a growth platform for preschool education teachers in Yingshan and injected new vitality into preschool education.

The hardware and software of preschool education in Yingshan are not bad, and the results are also good, but there is a lack of a well-known preschool education brand, "said Zhu Xia. After arriving in Yingshan, she found out the situation of local preschool education, put the breakthrough in preschool character education, and opened up the path of creating characteristic brands.

No matter how diverse the forms of teaching activities are, they must be integrated into early childhood character education, help children establish correct values, cultivate good character and personality, and assist them in healthy growth... "At the Yingshan County Preschool Education Seminar, Zhu Xia's words awakened the education workers present and pointed out the direction for the development of the Yingshan Preschool Education brand.

In the following days, Zhu Xia traveled to various kindergartens in Yingshan County, fully participating in the teaching design, activity development, and experience summary of character education. Under her leadership, kindergarten teachers sparked a wave of research on character education for young children. They carefully polished their curriculum activities, summarized their experiences, and ultimately achieved fruitful results - Yingshan County was successfully established as a demonstration zone for promoting the achievements of character education for young children in Sichuan Province. This is also the first county in Nanchong City to receive this title.

In the paired assistance, Zhu Xia not only helped Yingshan build an education brand, but also attached great importance to the cultivation of educational talents. Li Xiaoli, a preschool education researcher at Yingshan County Education Science Research Institute, is the disciple she accepted through the "mentoring" mechanism.

Teacher Zhu generously imparted knowledge and provided hands-on guidance, which greatly benefited me, "said Li Xiaoli. With Zhu Xia's help, her abilities have rapidly improved, and she is now proficient in independently conducting research on preschool education and organizing and planning activities.

Learning, becoming, and cultivating talents is the direction we have been striving for, "said Li Xiaoli. Over the past two years, Zhu Xia has led teachers from the county to follow and learn in Zhejiang, Chongqing, and other places, broadening everyone's horizons and ideas. Under the guidance of Zhu Xia, teachers such as Liu Chunlan, Li Niqian, and Xiao Yuanyuan have successively emerged in various educational and teaching exhibition activities and achieved excellent results.

In addition to encouraging teachers to "go out", Zhu Xia also emphasizes "inviting in". During the assistance period, she built a communication platform and invited well-known kindergarten principals and teachers from across the country to come to Yingshan to carry out the Ministry of Education's demonstration training program for leading kindergarten teachers in the new era, where students could exchange ideas and discuss the construction of preschool education studios. At the same time, she also promoted Yingshan's advanced preschool education experience to the whole country.

This assistance team composed of 30 cadres and talents is full of hidden talents: there are backbone professionals who have been deeply involved in professional fields for many years, highly educated young talents, as well as elites in medical, education, transportation and other industries. They leveraged their respective strengths, provided intellectual support, paired up with local professionals in Yingshan, and cultivated a large number of professional technical talents, who have now become the backbone of the industry.

Over the past two years, 30 paired assistance cadres and talents from the city have rooted themselves at the grassroots level, working tirelessly in developing industries according to local conditions, striving for project improvement infrastructure, and cultivating and building talent teams. They regard Yingshan as the 'main battlefield', dedicating their youth with hard work and sweat, contributing to Yingshan's first stage of getting rid of its underdeveloped county status in the province, forming deep friendships with local people, leaving behind many touching stories of assistance, and jointly composing a moving chapter of paired assistance, "commented the person in charge of the Organization Department of Yingshan County Committee.

This round of paired assistance work is about to come to an end, but the path of rural revitalization in Yingshan is still extending, and the story of assistance will continue to be written
