The two sessions in Hubei in 2024 are about to be held. In the past year, the deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) have closely followed the key tasks of Hubei's high-quality development and the concerns of the people. The Hubei Radio and Television News Center launched a special column "Deputies and Members Say" to tell the stories of the deputies and members in performing their duties. This issue is specially invited to Tu Junming, a representative of the 14th People's Congress of Hubei Province.
Key words: to make authentic medicinal materials more "authentic".
Narrator: Tu Junming, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Huanggang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Deputy to the 14th Hubei Provincial People's Congress
In 2023, I was elected as a deputy to the 14th Hubei Provincial People's Congress, and I feel a great responsibility and a glorious mission. During the two sessions last year, I put forward the "Proposal on Vigorously Developing Double Cropping Rice and Safeguarding Grain Strategic Security" on the issue of food security, which was highly valued by the Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and gave strong support to the main grain-producing areas in the double-cropping rice production project and the development of grain production policies. In 2023, Huanggang City will complete the grain sowing area of 59760,000 acres, with a total output of 55100 million catties, all of which exceeded the provincial tasks, ranked first in the province in terms of grain area increment, and made Huanggang contributions to the province's grain harvest.
In the past year, I have always kept in mind the earnest entrustment of the general secretary of the Communist Party of China to "build the old revolutionary base area better and let the people in the old area live a better life", actively perform the duties of the representative, go deep into the grassroots and field visits, and face to face with many enterprises and farmers, help them feedback or solve the difficult problems in industrial development and rural construction, and explore the path to solve the difficulties and bottlenecks in the development of local characteristic agricultural industrialization. Through research, I believe that in order to make the people in the old areas live a better life, it is necessary to expand and strengthen the rural characteristic industries in the old areas, develop the county economy, and broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and get rich.
This year's provincial two sessions, I will put forward two proposals: "Proposal on Supporting the Revitalization of Rural Industries in Dabie Mountain Revolutionary Base Area" and "Proposal on Strengthening the Protection and Utilization of Germplasm Resources of Chinese Medicinal Materials in Our Province". Hubei is one of the main producing areas of authentic medicinal materials in the country, with 4,457 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine resources, and Huanggang is the main producing area of authentic medicinal materials. "Top Ten Chu Medicine" authentic medicinal materials, Huanggang occupies four seats. The development of the Chinese herbal medicine industry is a "good prescription" to revitalize the rural economy and make the land in the old area "gold".
However, during the investigation, I found that a large number of germplasm resources of Chinese medicinal materials have not been reasonably developed, protected and utilized, and there is a risk of loss. Therefore, it is urgent to promote the quality and upgrading of the Chinese herbal medicine industry. It is necessary to start from five aspects: improve the management system for the protection of germplasm resources of Chinese herbal medicines, improve the level of breeding and supply of improved varieties of Chinese herbal medicines, strengthen the construction of inspection and testing platforms for Chinese herbal medicines, strengthen the development foundation of the Chinese herbal medicine industry, and strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources of Chinese herbal medicines. With the thinking of the whole industry chain, we will empower Huanggang to create a national pilot zone for the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine, so that the "treasure house of traditional Chinese medicinal materials" in the old area will become a "golden prescription" for increasing income and getting rich.
In the new year, we look forward to Hubei's "Top Ten Chu Medicines" coming out of the circle strongly, creating a new situation in the brand building of Hubei authentic medicinal materials, and realizing the leap from a province with large traditional Chinese medicine resources to a strong province in the traditional Chinese medicine industry. I will also continue to perform my duties as a deputy, go down to the grassroots level to listen to the voices of the people, and contribute to the construction of old areas.
