Watering thousands of hectares of fertile land with hard sweat, and letting wisdom bring out the five grains with both hands", it is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe Wang Xiuying, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a professor and researcher-level senior agronomist of Zhangwu County Agricultural Development Service Center, Fuxin City, Liaoning Province.
Zhangwu County, in the impression of the people, is the largest "sand nest" in Liaoning, and the desertified land area accounts for 96% of the total area of the county. In this place, which fired the "first shot" of scientific desertification control in New China, Wang Xiuying has been devoted to the upsurge of desertification land management without hesitation for decades.
When it comes to sand control, Wang Xiuying has endless words. "We have a large area of sandy land in Zhangwu, and if we don't improve it, there is no way to increase farmers' incomes. Therefore, in order to achieve high-quality and multi-output on the existing plots, it is necessary to make a fuss about the management of desertified cultivated land. ”
The Institute of Sandy Land Improvement and Utilization of Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Zhangwu Science and Technology jointly built the selection test of peanut varieties in sandy land and the yield measurement in autumn. Representative Wang Xiuying (first from right) inspects the growth of flowers in the farmland. (Courtesy of the representative).
The development of photovoltaic industry in Zhangwu began to develop the photovoltaic industry, and later the photovoltaic occupied a lot of land, and the benefits of increasing income by only a photovoltaic industry could not meet the needs of the people, so we studied the planting of crops under the photovoltaic panels, and realized the mode of power generation on the plate, repair under the plate and planting between the plates. In 2022, in our Zhangwu, four townships and towns carried out photovoltaic + agriculture experiments, and achieved good results. Wang Xiuying advocated "locking sand with light", innovating the "photovoltaic + agriculture" model, planting soybeans, sorghum, peanuts, millet and other crops under photovoltaic panels and between the plates, which promoted farmers' income and regional economic development through practice; "Containing sand with water", building a large cold paddy field wetland, and creating a model for enriching the people; "Grass and sand fixation", gathering ecological resources, planting oats, pastures, rape, flowers and other plants, developing Deliger ecological grassland base, polishing the Fuxin tourism business card.
Desertification control is not something that can be done through talks, but something that can be put into practice.
On the eve of the National People's Congress last year, in the low temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, Wang Xiuying braved the cold wind to investigate the photovoltaic power plant and learn about the specific results of new agricultural planting models such as "locking sand with light". After visiting the photovoltaic power plant, Wang Xiuying went into the greenhouse of more than 30 degrees Celsius and chatted with farmers about the possibility and problems of sandy land planting promotion.
We hope that Sister Wang can reflect on us and solve the problem of production, including seedling sales in the later stage. Sister Wang often comes to me because everyone has to communicate with each other to solve problems better. Farmers in Zhangwu County couldn't help but give a thumbs up when they talked about Wang Xiuying's performance of duties.
In the investigation, Wang Xiuying found that after the development of the photovoltaic industry in Zhangwu County, through the construction of an ecological governance system of "on-board power generation, under-plate restoration, and inter-plate planting", the footsteps of the southward and eastward invasion of the Horqin Sandy Land were effectively blocked, and the ecological security of the urban agglomeration in central Liaoning and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was effectively protected, and the national ecology, energy and food security were guaranteed.
During last year's National People's Congress, Wang Xiuying brought to Beijing the issue of desertification control. In order to win the war of annihilation in the Horqin Sandy Land and ensure food security, she put forward suggestions on the bottleneck problem of farmland forest network construction and the subsidy problem of soil fertilization improvement project.
She proposed in the "Proposal on Carrying out the Pilot Project of Photovoltaic Desertification Control Ecological Restoration and Governance in Northwest Liaoning and Building an Ecological Barrier in Central Liaoning and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region" that the construction of a pilot demonstration area of "photovoltaic + desertification control" in the ecological barrier of the central Liaoning urban agglomeration and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will provide a reference for the ecological management of desertified cultivated land in similar areas across the country, protect the ecological security of the urban agglomeration in central Liaoning and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and further promote rural revitalization, so that the people can truly feel the beautiful environment and live a rich life.
Only when the countryside is revitalized can farmers live a good life. As a deputy to the people's congress who came out of the countryside, Wang Xiuying has to go deep into the fields in a timely manner during the agricultural season every year to scientifically investigate the occurrence of crop diseases and pests and put forward comprehensive prevention and control measures. Regardless of the severe cold and heat, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Wang Xiuying gets up early and is greedy late, and guides crop production in a timely manner; As a surveyor of national, provincial and municipal monitoring points and a plant protection worker in the county, she insists on monitoring pests and diseases every day from May to September every year. For this reason, everyone affectionately called Wang Xiuying a "scout" on the agricultural front.
The 2024 National People's Congress is about to be held, and Wang Xiuying has started a non-stop visit and research. "Ensuring a stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products has always been the top priority in building a strong agricultural country," she said. This year, I plan to bring the proposal of promoting ecological governance and improving grain production capacity to Beijing to continue to contribute to the revitalization of Northeast China. ”
