On the sixth day of the first lunar month, every household was still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, Liu Tiejun, a representative of the National People's Congress and chairman of the Xiqing Agricultural Machinery Farmers Professional Cooperative in Yongqing County, Langfang City, came to the home of Wu Jiaxing, a villager in Shigezhuang Village, Houyi Town, and his daughter Wu Tong, who was going to college, chatted and recorded to understand the child's major, and asked if he was willing to return to his hometown to start a business in the future.
Liu Tiejun is a recognized expert in agricultural machinery driving and maintenance, and was elected as a representative of the 14th National People's Congress in 2023. Over the past year, Liu Tiejun has often gone to the village to do surveys and conduct research, carried out technical guidance on agricultural machinery operation in the fields, vigorously promoted the use of smart agricultural machinery, and helped the villagers get rich and increase their income.
My suggestion this year is to focus on attracting young people to return to their hometowns to devote themselves to the construction of rural areas, such as talent training, professional title evaluation, and career development, and strengthen some policy support from these aspects, so that more young people can see the hope of our agricultural field and let them boldly return to their hometowns and stay in their hometowns. Liu Tiejun said.
Liu Tiejun said that his own education is not high, relying on self-study to complete the junior college and undergraduate courses, and now often go to all parts of the country to participate in the training and competition of agricultural mechanics, and won back a lot of honors, such as the first batch of first-line soil experts in the use of agricultural machinery in the country, national agricultural technology experts, etc. In 2022, he also obtained the professional and technical title of Senior Agricultural Engineer.
Now to do agriculture, you must not only be able to farm, but also have knowledge, understand technology, and dare to innovate. The major is not limited to agronomy, in fact, IT, media, brand marketing, etc., new farmers should be able to bring new potential and new possibilities to agriculture. Liu Tiejun said.
Liu Tiejun said that this year, their cooperatives will become a training base for high-quality farmers, and through carrying out flexible and diverse, easy-to-understand, and theoretically integrated training with practice, they will improve the skill level of rural agricultural mechanics, and cultivate more talents who love the countryside, understand agriculture, and serve farmers to take root at the grassroots level and build a new countryside.
