She grew up in Hanyuan County, known as the "hometown of peppercorns in China", and worked in Mianyang City, the "only science and technology city in China". In the critical period of promoting the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and the effective connection of rural revitalization, the 37-year-old took the initiative to travel thousands of miles from the 404 Hospital of Mianyang City, which has convenient living conditions and a superior working environment, to Mujuli Village, Hexi Township, Jinchuan County, located in the northwest Sichuan Plateau, from a nurse in charge of the intensive care department to an ordinary village-based team member.
Her name is Zhang Xueqing, and she is one of the 174 "village-based team members" in Jinchuan County who are fighting on the front line at the grassroots level. She said that when she came to Mujuli Village, she had to be responsible to the people in the village, and she had to shoulder this responsibility so that the seeds of rural revitalization could take root. Since July 2021, she has rooted her youth in the vast field of rural revitalization in the "Aba Jiangnan", and sang a song of youth with the fragrance of earth.
She is the "good Menba" in the mouths of the masses
How to quickly change roles from a medical worker to a village-based team member, from a ward to a mountain village, is a question that Zhang Xueqing often thought about when he first came to Mujuli Village.
In order to integrate into the "big family" of Mujuli Village as quickly as possible, Zhang Xueqing shuttles through the village every day, and she can always be seen busy in the village. Or go door-to-door, or eat and work with the masses, or pick peppercorns with the villagers under the scorching sun... While walking into the doorstep of the villagers, Zhang Xueqing also slowly entered the hearts of the masses.
As a medical worker, the benevolence of doctors and saving lives and helping the wounded have always been her original intention and mission. After coming to Mujuli Village, Hexi Township, Jinchuan County, in order to help improve the medical service level of this poverty alleviation village, Zhang Xueqing purchased medical equipment such as blood pressure monitors and blood glucose meters at her own expense. She also organized villagers to watch the program "Healthy Mianyang", actively publicized the 404 Hospital's policies such as medical benefits and talent training, and helped the masses cultivate health care awareness and improve bad lifestyles.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, she also used her anti-epidemic experience in participating in the 2020 epidemic prevention and control to set up defense checkpoints, disinfect public places, organize nucleic acid collection with the village "two committees", explain the knowledge of new crown pneumonia epidemic prevention and control to the masses, walk in the forefront of epidemic prevention and control, and successfully complete various prevention and control tasks, reflecting the exemplary spirit that a party member is a banner, and building a "great wall of steel" to protect the lives and health of the people.
Mujuli Village is located in the middle of the mountain, 17 kilometers away from the county seat, and there are many inconveniences for the masses to travel and seek medical treatment, and villagers need to run to the county seat to pick up a package. "Dr. Zhang" took the initiative to reach out to the "mother's family", and with the support and help of the hospital, coordinated and solved one public welfare post, specially "running errands" for villagers, regularly sending express parcels, purchasing daily necessities, etc., which greatly facilitated the production and life of the masses.
She is the "salesman" in the heart of pepper farmers
Mucuri Village is a poverty alleviation village and a typical high-level mountain village, with an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters. Zanthoxylum pepper is the main cash crop in Mucurie village.
However, this year, affected by extreme weather such as hail and drought, the quality and price of peppercorns are not as good as before, not only the harvest is not good, but also the situation of slow sales of peppercorns is also widespread, which can worry about the poverty alleviation households who grow peppercorns in the village, Zhang Xueqing not only sees it in his eyes but also is more anxious. In order to help poverty alleviation households open up the sales channels of peppercorns, she immediately asked the leaders of the 404 hospital for instructions and reports, and issued a proposal for peppercorn subscription through the hospital's WeChat group, actively calling on hospital staff to voluntarily purchase peppercorns from Mucurie; She also taught herself to shoot short videos and make promotional videos for peppercorn picking, so that everyone can more intuitively understand the quality of peppercorns in Muculi, and widely publicize it to hospital colleagues and other counterpart support units. In the end, at a price of more than 10 yuan per catty higher than the market, it helped the poverty alleviation households sell nearly 1,000 kilograms of peppercorns, which solved the urgent need and increased the income of the villagers.
While helping pepper farmers open up sales channels, Zhang Xueqing is also working how to increase the added value of peppercorn products. She remembers her experience of making and using peppercorn oil at home when she was in Hanyuan. The production process of peppercorn oil is simple, and the cost is not high, and farmers can make peppercorn oil at home. So, she taught the villagers the handmade process of peppercorn oil, and organized the villagers to make peppercorn oil and sell it. In September this year, the staff of Mianyang 404 Hospital alone purchased more than 500 bottles of peppercorn oil, increasing the income of the masses by more than 6,000 yuan.
In addition, in order to help pepper farmers further get rich and increase income, on the basis of full research, she actively applied to the 404 Hospital to help coordinate industrial support funds of 208,000 yuan to develop 10 mu of the village collective peppercorn garden, and applied for 33,000 yuan to help build one peppercorn drying room.

It is an "inventor" in the eyes of pear farmers
Jinchuan County has the reputation of "the hometown of China's pears", and Mujuli Village in Hexi Township is also rich in pears.
The pear trees planted in Mucuri Village are Jinchuan chicken leg pears, which are more than 30 years old, and most of the trees are more than 10 meters tall. Because the pear tree is tall and straight, ordinary tools basically cannot be picked, and the traditional climbing tree picking has great safety risks, time-consuming and laborious, seeing that the pears are ripe but cannot be picked, which makes the pear farmers in the village feel bad.
Zhang Xueqing gave full play to his advantages of being good at observation and learning, extensively consulted various literature and patent designs, conducted in-depth observation and research on a variety of picking tools made by pear farmers and sold in the market, and fully referenced and referenced, and after many repeated experiments and scrutiny, finally designed a picking tool that integrates high-altitude picking, pruning, bagging and other functions, and successfully applied for a utility model patent, and obtained the national utility model patent certificate in May 2022. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first patented technology owned by the village level in Jinchuan County. After obtaining the patent certificate, Zhang Xueqing carried out publicity and promotion on the "Tianfu Science and Technology Cloud", actively striving to transform the patented technology into achievements, widely promote it among fruit farmers, improve picking efficiency and quality, and improve the economic benefits of fruit farmers.
At the same time, in order to enrich Sydney products, improve added value and expand sales channels, she actively explored and practiced the "combination of medical and nursing care" model, and after consulting with the hospital's Chinese medicine teachers, she used her weekend time to purchase mulberry leaves, honeysuckle, monk fruit, red dates, chuanbei and other Chinese medicinal materials in the county seat, and added Chinese medicinal materials on the basis of the traditional process of boiling autumn pear ointment, which is not only a good tonic, but also has the effect of moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing and throat. After the success of the brewing, she took the initiative to contact Sister Chen who was lifted out of poverty and taught Sister Chen to make autumn pear paste. "The autumn pear paste made by 'Dr. Zhang' is different, and the autumn pear paste she brewed is very popular!" Sister Chen said that the autumn pear paste made using the "Dr. Zhang" method quickly sold out at a price of 60 yuan per catty. In order to "teach people to fish", Zhang Xueqing also specially filmed the process of boiling autumn pear paste into a short video, and used platforms such as friend circles and video numbers to widely publicize it, and taught the method of boiling autumn pear paste to the villagers. She said she hopes to do her part to help villagers increase their income.
Kelsang flowers are beautiful but not delicate, weak but tall. Countless villagers like Zhang Xueqing are blooming on the snowy plateau like Gesang flowers. She said that when the time is to forge ahead, she will continue to display her talents on the stage of Mucuri rural revitalization, realize the value of life in unremitting struggle, and let youth bloom in the fiery practice of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
