2,986 sheets**, 5 million yuan of assistance funds, and more than 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes sold ......This is the "count" of Zhao Chuanbo, the first secretary of the village, in the past two years. In November 2021, at the age of 42, he came to Liwo Village, Shengshuiyu Town, Surabaya County, Jining City, and officially became the first secretary of the village sent by China Post Shandong Branch.
In Liwo Village, Zhao Chuanbo has multiple roles. He is the first secretary of the village, an expert in grape planting, an anchor with goods, and a caring person for the villagers. However, what he cares about most is the identity of "villager of Liwo Village".
Hearing that Zhao Chuanbo's term of office was about to expire, villager Ma Damiang rushed to the village committee with a cloth bag and 4 big pumpkins, and had to give them to him in person. An ordinary cloth bag, like an old mother's bag for the wanderer?

Filial piety to the elderly, love for the young, is a relative
In the summer of 2022, Zhao Chuanbo contacted students from Qingdao Agricultural University to carry out volunteer teaching activities in Liwo Village. Interest development courses such as "Water Rocket" science experiments, handmade origami, and fun sports meetings have suddenly opened up the horizons of rural children's knowledge.
I want to be a soldier", "I want to be a painter", "teacher" ......In the "Talk about Your Dreams" session, the children's voices were crisp, which made Zhao Chuanbo's heart fluctuate. At that moment, he understood the importance of "rural revitalization, education first".
A year later, Zhao Chuanbo led the college students to pay a return visit to the children who participated in the volunteer teaching activities last year. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the children could open their mouths to say the dream they had shouted a year ago, which made him feel very gratified.
The "old and young" in the village have always been Zhao Chuanbo's concern. There are 65 elderly people over the age of 70 in Liwo Village, and Zhao Chuanbo is familiar with who each household is, everyone's situation, and the location of each family. Whenever the weather changed, he would go to the homes of the elderly to sit and tell them to pay attention to their health.
In the past two years, Zhao Chuanbo has successively tried to visit and condolence materials worth more than 50,000 yuan to send warmth and care to the masses. In the eyes of the villagers, he is very caring, like his own relatives.

Engage in live broadcasts and sell sweet potatoes to change talk
The village has sandy land, and the villagers grow sweet potatoes and watermelons. It is worth mentioning that Surabaya sweet potato is a national geographical indication product. Previously, Zhao Chuanbo worked in the postal system for many years in the sales of agricultural products;After arriving in the village, he actively contacted the city and county postal companies to help promote Surabaya sweet potatoes.
The Jining Post live broadcast team is here!Zhao Chuanbo did not give in, incarnated as the spokesperson of Surabaya sweet potato, and engaged in live broadcast and sale of sweet potatoes through multiple platform channels. The "First Secretary" live broadcast event also attracted the attention and assistance of the first generation, and the "Xinhua News Agency" account broadcast 3 consecutive live broadcasts and sold 150,000 orders.
Since he was stationed in the village, Zhao Chuanbo has participated in the live broadcast 12 times, driving the sales of Surabaya sweet potatoes to more than 200 catties. It is common to broadcast live for 4 hours in a row. Usually calm and introverted, he has become a "chatterbox" in front of the camera - introducing the cultural customs of Surabaya, selling special agricultural products, and inviting netizens to come to Surabaya to ......Zhao Chuanbo felt that he was a Surabaya person.
In October 2023, during the sweet potato harvest period, Cai Shengyou, a villager in Shuwo, accidentally cut his hand. "Secretary Zhao helped me sell more than 4,000 catties of high-quality sweet potatoes through live broadcast, which was higher than selling to dealers, and the money arrived in a timely manner. Cai Shengyou said with a smile that he would have to help sell ...... next year
Growing grapes in greenhouses, Zhao Chuanbo made himself a "soil expert".
Build greenhouses to grow grapes and become experts
Rural revitalization, industry first;Industrial development, the direction must be clear. After arriving in the village, in order to clarify the next industrial development ideas of the village, Zhao Chuanbo organized party members and cadres to visit the Xi more than 10 times inside and outside the county. After repeated arguments, it was decided to build greenhouses and plant Sunshine Rose grapes.
Nanwugou Village, Pingyi County, Linyi City, is a professional village for sunshine rose planting, and Zhao Chuanbo took everyone to inspect the Xi four times. He also invited Dong Xianzhong, secretary of the party branch of Nanwugou Village, to carry out technical guidance in Liwo Village on a regular basis.
With the strong support of the Party Committee of Shengshuiyu Town, in May 2023, 10 brand-new greenhouses were erected in Liwo Village, and 1,900 grape seedlings were successfully planted. Going to the greenhouse to inspect the growth of grapes has almost become Zhao Chuanbo's daily compulsory course.
Pinch branches and leaves, remove weeds, tie vines and ......This series of operations in the greenhouse is like flowing water. Day after day, blisters and calluses develop on his fingers, and he becomes a "viticultural expert".
The poet Ai Qing said: "Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love this land deeply." Perhaps, this is also an expression of Zhao Chuanbo's inner emotions after he was stationed in the village. "No matter where I go in the future, I will remember this place and continue to do my best for the development of Liwo Village. He believes that as one of the villages in the Qilu Model Provincial Demonstration Zone for Rural Revitalization of Longwan Lake, the future of Liwo Village will be better.
