In a collective conversation with the members of the new leadership group of the All-China Women's Federation, the general secretary stressed that it is necessary to encourage women to give full play to their own advantages and positive roles in implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern, promoting high-quality development, achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. 2023 is the first year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also the starting year for accelerating the construction of an agricultural power. This year, the majority of "half the sky" are active in the front line of rural revitalization, and they are working hard in the fields to dream and harvest happiness. To this end, "Peasant Girl" magazine selected the "Top Ten Women New Farmers in 2023" (in no particular order), and through their stories, they show the sassy and heroic appearance of women in the new era on the front line of rural revitalization.

White Woman——"Post-95" female veterinarians break the "stereotype".

The post-95 girl Bai Wu was born in an ordinary cattle family in Guyuan City, Ningxia. In 2012, Bai Wu, who was still studying in the "college entrance examination class" in the vocational high school, saw that the cattle at home died 7 in succession, so she insisted on transferring to the "animal husbandry and veterinary class", wanting to learn professional knowledge to help reduce the burden on the family. In most people's minds, veterinarians are not the best jobs for girls. Working with a large animal like a cow is a strenuous job, and there is a risk of being kicked, and most of the girls choose to do laboratory and data work in the cattle farm, or work as a veterinarian in a small pet store, but the extroverted Bai Wu wants to work with cattle more and thinks it is "very challenging".

After graduating, Bai Wu resolutely chose to return to the countryside to open a veterinary pharmacy and work as a veterinarian. When I first went to the farmer's house, everyone saw that the car was a white and clean little girl, and the first reaction was "too unlike a veterinarian", and I was afraid that she would be "kicked and broken" by the cow. But Bai Wu used her excellent medical technology to gradually win the trust of local farmers - Bai Wu weighed only 89 pounds, but she could pick up a ten-pound calf by herself, and she also had a nickname, called "Bai Yi Needle", that is, a needle to the blood, accurate ......Since she started working as a veterinarian, she has been running around the countryside and cowsheds day and night, performing surgeries, delivering births, releasing water from fire therapy, and repairing cows' hooves for cattle that weigh thousands of pounds at every turn. In order to let more people understand the veterinary industry, and in order to attract more young people to engage in the veterinary industry, Bai Wu tried to make her contrasting story and share it on the short** platform, which has attracted 2.76 million fans in one year.

Du Lizhi - the agricultural "know-it-all" in the hearts of farmers

A body of soil, a body of mud, a body of insects", rooted in the grassroots for 38 years, she went to the countryside more than 200 times a year, had to walk more than 10 kilometers every day, clothes had to be washed every day, broken quickly, cloth shoes had to wear out two pairs a year.

As a senior agronomist of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Gaotang County, Shandong, Du Lizhi "is either in the farmland or on the way to the farmland", she has traveled to more than 600 administrative villages in Gaotang County to help farmers solve various problems in crop planting. In the early years, she rode a bicycle and motorcycle to the countryside, and the mountain roads were not easy to walk, and she broke down 3 bicycles and 2 motorcycles. In order to make it easier for growers to consult questions, her mobile phone is also turned on 24 hours a day, and when she is busy, she can answer more than 20** a day. Since her work, she has written 2 agricultural technology diaries a year, and now she has written more than 70 books, with a total of more than 4 million words, summing up the experience of preventing and controlling a variety of crop diseases. Up to now, Du Lizhi has introduced more than 60 advanced management technologies for growers, and solved more than 20,000 planting technology problems on average every year.

In 2018, Gaotang County established the "Du Lizhi Party Representative Studio", and today, more than 1,000 members of the "Du Lizhi Party Representative Studio" in the county are active in the grassroots frontline, disseminating agricultural technology, collecting public sentiment and public opinion, and opening up the "last mile" of agricultural technology services. Du Lizhi will also take young scientific researchers to hold training courses and lectures for farmers, which is called "Mazha Classroom in the Field". Relying on such classes, Du Lizhi's team has cultivated more than 6,200 characteristic professional farmer technicians in the county.

Wu Mingzhu - Let the Chinese realize the "freedom of eating melons".

In 1955, Wu Mingzhu gave up his job in the Ministry of Rural Work and came to the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang from Beijing. In August 1956, she reported to the organization and applied to be transferred to the Shanshan County Agricultural Technology Extension Station, which was nearly 300 kilometers away from Urumqi. Since then, she has taken the first step in cultivating melon seeds, and has been on this road for more than 50 years.

She has cultivated more than 30 varieties of red heart crisp, fragrant pear yellow, tulip melon, golden phoenix emerald melon, and unicorn melon. There is also the "trump card" in watermelon - 8424 watermelon, which has made outstanding contributions to the melon and watermelon industry in Xinjiang and the whole country. It can be said that Wu Mingzhu has made it a reality for people across the country to eat fresh and high-quality watermelons.

Starting as an older girl with two braids, I ...... growing watermelons and cantaloupe on the Gobi Desert in XinjiangUntil today, she is an old lady in her old age. The melon shed is my home all year round. Now, my husband has died of illness and my children are far away, and I am still left alone in Xinjiang and continue to play with melons. People say that I only have melons in my heart, and melons are my children's ......Yes, melons are my life, and my life is to bear a few melons and dedicate the sweetness of melons to the people. In 1999, Wu Mingzhu was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. In the same year, as one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Technical Talents in China", she made a touching speech at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Now, Wu Mingzhu has left her lifelong melon breeding career because of Alzheimer's disease, but the memory of growing melons is still there. Wu Mingzhu's daughter Yang Xia said that for many years after her illness, her mother would often suddenly say things like "I want to go to the melon field" and "The melon is going to pollinate". Yes, melons are her "life." ”

Yu Yancha - "Zipline Girl" gives back to the mountains

In a video in 2007, Yu Yan was recognized by everyone because of her "flying rope study" on the Nu River. In Yu Yancha's hometown of Maji Township, Nujiang, Yunnan Province, almost every household has five or six pulleys that cross the river. From the first grade, Yu Yancha had to walk down the mountain road to get to school, and then take a zipline with the help of a rope she carried with her to the school on the other side of the Nu River. "* The current is very fast, and every time I cross the river, I am very nervous, and I don't dare to look down at all. But Yu Yancha still overcame her fear and persevered on this "road" for nearly two years, just for two words - "going to school". By chance, the picture of Yu Yancha ziplining to school was captured by a reporter with a lens, which attracted the attention of the society, caring people donated money to build a bridge, in March 2008, a suspension bridge appeared on the river, connecting the two banks, which means that the villagers of Maji Township no longer need to zipline across the river, they unanimously decided to let Yu Yancha be the first to cross the bridge.

More than ten years have passed, and Yu Yancha, the "zipline girl" of that year, graduated from Kunming Medical University, and surprisingly, she finally chose to return to her hometown to work and become a medical worker in Nujiang Prefecture People's Hospital. She said: "There are not enough medical resources in my hometown, and it has always been my dream to work in the medical field."

After graduating, she became a physical education teacher. But by chance, when Chen Yujia was traveling abroad, he found that a lot of rice on the shelves could be sold as high-quality products. At that time, I wondered if the rice in my hometown was also delicious, and there would be a market for it, so that the villagers could have a better income. After thinking about it again, Chen Yujia quit her job and threw herself into the vast world of the countryside to become a "new farmer" who returned to his hometown to start a business.

After returning to the village, she and her mother became "** partners", and the mother and daughter took the villagers to run the Xuanwu Lake Rice Professional Cooperative together. After six years of unremitting efforts, she has changed from an agricultural "little white" to a "rice girl", the cooperative has attracted 157 households from the village and surrounding villagers to join the cooperative, and more than 6,000 acres of stone slab fields in nearby villages have joined the order planting, driving more than 500 farmers to work. Chen Yujia also has a dream: "If you plant well, you must sell it well." In order to realize this dream, she took the initiative to study and judge the new needs of the consumer market, innovated the marketing model, innovatively launched services such as "farmer recognition" and "grain stamp customization", promoted hometown agricultural products through live broadcast and other methods, broadened sales channels, and really enhanced the popularity and influence of "slate rice". In recent years, Shangguandi Village has also built a number of scenic spots such as rice field landscape plank road, windmill waterwheel park, barbecue square, beach bathing beach, etc., and at the same time supporting the development of characteristic homestays, unified leasing and decoration of idle houses in the village, and adding rice field sightseeing train tour projects, and implementing crayfish rice field breeding projects to achieve "one field with more income" and broaden the path for farmers to increase income.
