In the countryside of southern Guangdong, there are more and more young faces. Since the implementation of Guangdong's "Millions of Projects", groups of young people have come to the vast countryside with knowledge and technology, and have come to this stage of entrepreneurship.
In 2024, it is proposed in Document No. 1 to implement the talent support plan for rural revitalization, increase the cultivation of local talents in rural areas, and orderly guide all kinds of professional and technical talents in cities to serve in the countryside.
Recently, a training course for the Guangdong "Millions of Projects" Youth Rejuvenation Cultivation Program, which mainly focuses on young people who have returned to their hometowns to start businesses, and gathered 115 young students from 21 cities in Guangdong, opened in Guangzhou. There are not only front-line experts "hand-in-hand" guidance, but also young people go to Zhejiang to visit and learn the "Ten Million Project", bring "development questions", and seek "revitalization answers".
In the fields came the youth commandos.
In February last year, Guangdong released a three-year action plan for youth to help the "High-quality Development Project of 100 Counties, Thousands of Towns and Thousands of Villages", one of which is to organize colleges and universities to accurately connect according to the actual needs of counties and towns to solve practical industrial problems for rural development.
To solve the 'incurable diseases' in the countryside, professional forces are needed to attack accurately. Zhao Xuan, an associate professor at the School of Sociology and Anthropology of Sun Yat-sen University, said that college students have knowledge and technology, are full of vigor and vitality, and are suitable candidates for sinking to the grassroots.
We accompany students throughout the process, helping them integrate into the countryside, understand the countryside, and promote real problem solving. Zhao Xuan said that the rural land is the "experimental field" for theoretical and technological research in colleges and universities.
Today, under the leadership of 8 academicians and 4,066 school professors, there are more than 30,000 young college student commandos in colleges and universities in the province, and about 2,200 are accurately connected to local needs.
Sun Yat-sen University's "Smart Fishing Era" team has cultivated high-quality yellow standing fish fry, driving more than 120 people to achieve employment; The shell flour application innovation and entrepreneurship team of Guangdong Ocean University helped solve the dilemma of "shell walled village" and achieved an increase in per capita income of 2,000 yuan ......
Many young people like to have a camping trip in their spare time, and Ye Weirong, a young entrepreneur who returned to his hometown in Xutian Village, Futian Town, Huizhou City, saw the opportunity and gave up his job opportunities in big cities to introduce tourism industries such as camping and homestay to his hometown, and bring everyone to increase their income and get rich.
Returning young people have a deep affection for their hometown and are willing to use what they have learned to repay their hometown. Wen Xiaowei, an expert at the think tank of the "Millions of Projects" in Guangdong Province and a professor at the School of Economics and Management of South China Agricultural University, said that the urban employment space is limited, and more young people should be promoted to think rationally about the direction of entrepreneurship and employment.
Liao Zhiluo, president of the Peilin Orange Red Planting Professional Cooperative in Huazhou City, Maoming, seized the live broadcast and the short ** "outlet" to promote the local specialties to the national market; Liu Dejiang, the person in charge of "Gubao Coffee", brought the culture that young people love to the seaside and promoted the construction of a coffee shop street.
Native youth are getting stronger.
More and more young people are working and starting businesses in rural areas, which also encourages local young people in rural areas to stay in their hometowns.
Chen Longzhou grew up in Rudong Town, Yangxi County, Yangjiang City, and decided to return to his hometown to "do farm work" after graduation. He contracted more than 300 acres of fields, planted fruits, and in order to master crop management techniques, he signed up for the "leading geese" rural youth training course organized by the province.
In the process of rural entrepreneurship and employment, young people also encounter some new situations, such as with the development and growth of the industry, they are facing problems such as shortage of funds and land, and insufficient innovation in enterprise organization methods.
In response to these problems, Guangdong is taking measures, such as promoting the establishment of a "leading geese" training system with hierarchical coverage of cities and counties, and setting up a special fund for guaranteed loans for rural entrepreneurship in Guangdong.
To develop new quality productive forces, it is necessary to build a new type of labor force, among which young people are the most basic, strategic, and vanguard force. Chen Xiaoyun, a professor at the Party School of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, said that young people bring modern production tools to the countryside and shape modern production relations, which can provide greater possibilities for the integration of urban and rural areas, and let new quality productivity take root in the countryside.
