Shi Xiumei: Rooted in the countryside to give a voice to farmers

Shi Xiumei, a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress, is a member of the village committee of Anfeng Village, Huigong Town, Zongyang County. As a grassroots representative, she gave full play to the advantages of the deputies' close ties with the masses, went deep into the fields, understood what the peasant households wanted and hoped for, and did a good job of "bridge bonding" between the government and the masses.

A few days ago, in Anfeng Village, Shi Xiumei was squatting in the rapeseed field to observe the growth of rapeseed this year and learned from the villagers about some difficulties in agricultural production. Shi Xiumei told reporters that since she was elected as a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress in 2017, she has always worried that she is not close enough to the peasants and cannot hear the truest voice of the masses. Therefore, during the intersessional period, while doing her own work, Shi Xiumei used her spare time to participate in the practical activity of "I do practical things for the masses", visited the five guarantees, the low-income elderly and left-behind children, purchased daily necessities for them, organized college student volunteers to volunteer in nursing homes, etc., and continuously collected people's feelings and public opinions in these activities to convey upwards. Shi Xiumei said: As a peasant deputy, we should bring the voices of the grass-roots peasants up, reflect the actual problems for them in a timely manner, and truly base ourselves on the masses, serve the masses, and be the spokesmen of the masses.

During her tenure as a deputy to the 16th Municipal People's Congress, Shi Xiumei put forward the "Bill on Strengthening Rural Food Safety", "The Bill on How to Solve the Problem of a Large Number of Hollow Villages in Rural Areas", the "Bill on Strengthening the Normalization of Maintenance and Management of Rural Roads" and a number of proposals, which have been handled or are being handled gradually. "Food safety issues are related to the health of the masses and the harmony and stability of the economy and society, so I put forward a bill on strengthening rural food safety." Shi Xiumei said that after the proposal was put forward, it has been highly valued, and the food supervision department of our city has comprehensively strengthened the capacity building of grass-roots food safety supervision, strengthened the supervision of the whole chain of rural food production and operation, and strived to build a social co-governance pattern of food safety, the results are very remarkable, and she is very satisfied with the results of the reply and handling.

As a municipal people's congress deputy rooted in the countryside, Shi Xiumei has always been concerned about the interests of farmers, and the first session of the seventeenth municipal people's congress is about to be convened, and Shi Xiumei has also made sufficient preparations. She told reporters that she is particularly concerned about how to give full play to the functions of village-level economic cooperatives, and at the same time, she is also concerned that after several years of transformation of farmland water conservancy projects, the city's agricultural water conservancy has been greatly improved, but in some places there are still problems such as unreasonable layout, waterlogging cannot be drained, drought cannot be irrigated, and small ditches and small canals are silted. "I suggest that village-level economic cooperatives strengthen large-scale land management, combined with the rectification plan for high-standard farmland projects, implement mechanized operations, and improve land utilization." At the same time, we will make up for the shortcomings of farmland water conservancy infrastructure and lay a solid foundation for rural revitalization. ”
