When the reporter met Li Shaowu, the administrator of the farmer's bookstore in Zhonggao Village, Luoning County, Luoyang City, he was registering the villagers to borrow books, and he did not forget to advise: "If there is something you don't understand, you can come to the bookstore to find me at any time." ”

Li Shaowu, administrator of the farmer's bookstore in Zhonggao Village, Luoning County, Luoyang City

In the just-announced list of proposed recommendations for the third "National Reading Conference - Rural Reading Promoter", Li Shaowu is on the list. The 58-year-old began to get involved with the farmer's bookstore in 2012, and in his opinion, the bookstore is the "golden house" in the field.

There is a "Golden House" surnamed "Nong" in the field

"Our village is an old revolutionary area, and Li Shuxian, the father of martyr Li Xiangwu, once founded a "Sanyu" school in the village. Because in the past, winter and spring were more than a year, rain was more than a day, and night was more than a day. In order to pass on this spirit, in 2016, our rural bookstore also had the name of 'Sanyu Bookstore'. In the farmer's bookstore located in Li Xiangwu's red education base, villagers are sitting around their desks, flipping through books about planting and aquaculture, and discussing the contents of the books in small voices from time to time.

Li Shaowu, as the administrator of the bookstore, is also the first reader and beneficiary of this rural bookstore. "There are a lot of agricultural technology books here, and I read them in the bookstore during the day, and when I don't have time, I borrow them and read them at night, and I have learned a lot of practical knowledge. Li Shaowu said.

Li Shaowu studied in a farmer's bookstore

"In 2012, inspired by science and technology books, I started growing tobacco leaves. Li Shaowu recalled his relationship with this farmer's bookstore, saying that after the first round of roasting, he found that his tobacco leaves were not of high quality and he was puzzled by the standards, and he found the answer from the book.

"Tobacco is easy to get mosaic disease during the growth period, and we are used to using drugs promoted by others directly, but the effect is not so good. Later, I found a book on tobacco roasting technology guidance, and found that according to the recipe and dosage introduced in the book, the tobacco leaves can be more fragrant and of better quality. Li Shaowu said that after mastering the technology, he began to borrow various books to study, and also began to cooperate with other villagers, and now the tobacco planting area has reached more than 100 acres, "the farmer's bookstore is like a golden key to help farmers, which has helped us a lot."

After tasting the sweetness of reading to get rich, the villagers of Zhonggao Village became more and more eager for books, and began to take "soaking in the book house" as a habit of life. Li Shaowu, who had taught at the school, was recommended to become the administrator of the farmer's bookstore, and the villagers affectionately called him "Teacher Li".

"In 2010, the Zhonggao Village Rural Bookstore was completed, with more than 3,500 books, 6,000 books borrowed every year, and 72,000 people came to the bookstore to borrow books in 14 years. Li Shaowu told reporters that books are the core of the farmer's bookstore, because Zhonggao Village is dominated by planting and breeding, and agricultural skills have always been the most essential needs of the villagers, so the bookstore will be based on the reading needs of the villagers, and configure more agricultural technology books for everyone to learn.

Villagers receive reading and sharing good morning WeChat every day

"I grew up in the countryside, and I know the importance of cultural knowledge to the countryside and to the farmers, not only to open the book, but also to the more the better. Li Shaowu was originally a substitute teacher at Xiangwu Primary School in Zhonggao Village, Luoning County, Luoyang City, reading books and newspapers is his love for many years, and now at the age of 58, he still maintains the habit of reading more than 100 books every year.

Whenever he talks about the topic of books, Li Shaowu always has his own unique opinions. "Most of the people in the village are between 40 and 60 years old, and most of them have a junior high school education, so how to make everyone willing to take the initiative to read and have the ability to read books is a problem I have been thinking about. So, in 2021, Li Shaowu decided to push several high-quality articles every day to learn with everyone through the 500-person Zhonggao Village Yinong Information Group, he told reporters, "There are more than 1,000 people in the village, and it can be said that at least one person in every household is in this group, so I want to send some good articles or agricultural technology-related news every day, and slowly everyone is willing to read." ”

Every morning, Li Shaowu will share high-quality articles and agricultural technology knowledge in the Zhonggao Village Yinong Information Group

"Today's good morning sharing: The spring breeze brings back Nan Feiyan, and the singing is leisurely all the way. "This article about growing shiitake mushrooms is good, everyone can read it. Li Shaowu took the initiative to share in the Yinong information group of Zhonggao Village, and with the notification sound of "Ding Ding" coming out of the mobile phone, the reporter saw the villagers' enthusiastic likes and discussions on the tweet - "Good article!" "I will go to the field for a while to try this method in the article to see if it is useful for killing insects." "Who in our village knows what 'micro sprinkler irrigation' means?" ......

Li Shaowu and the villagers read together

A good administrator must have time, patience and enthusiasm, which is the key to the construction of the rural bookstore. In the course of the interview, the reporter profoundly felt that for the villagers, sometimes Li Shaowu would act as a "translator" and compare the words and expressions in the western Henan dialect with the official scientific names in the book; sometimes, he would be a "dictionary" Older villagers will ask him about rare words in the professional terminology of planting and breeding, but more often, he has always been the most intimate librarian, who will recommend suitable agricultural technology books for them based on his understanding of the villagers' production and life, and through his own daily learning, he will have the ability to help the villagers answer the questions in the book.

Now, the villagers will take the initiative to go into the farmer's bookstore to read, villager Li Shaoqing told reporters with feeling: "My family has been raising cattle for a long time, and I didn't dare to raise more because of lack of technology, and I want to see the books on breeding and go to the bookstore in the township to buy them, and I may not understand them when I buy them." Now, there are more books to read in the farmer's bookstore, and agricultural technology experts will regularly come to carry out planting and breeding technology training.

The "house" makes the best use of it, so that "poetry and distance" are within reach

"When the experts come, I will be a good student and learn the knowledge; when the experts are gone, I will be a 'setter' for the masses and truly let the masses master the technical essentials. Li Shaowu was very happy to see that the villagers were "recharging" through reading and learning, he said: "The librarian is not just to sort out the books, but to guide the villagers to read, and find the 'rich password' in the books that are both rich in pockets and brains." ”

For a long time, the Rural Bookstore has not only been a "library at the doorstep" for farmers to acquire knowledge, but also a "spiritual gas station" for farmers to master advanced skills and establish confidence in poverty alleviation and prosperity. In 2022, Zhonggao Village, Luoning County, Luoyang City, was rated as the "Ninth Advanced Unit for Serving Farmers and Serving Grassroots Cultural Construction" by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee for its experience and practices in the construction of rural bookstores.

Li Shaowu played the role of a rural bookstore and organized students from neighboring schools to carry out research activities

The reporter learned that with the gradual standardization of the management of the rural bookstore and the further improvement of the reading environment, in order to better mobilize the villagers' enthusiasm for reading, Li Shaowu not only took the farmer's bookstore as the main position of cultural and technological training and technical training to get rich, invited experts to carry out training, such as planting, breeding, and labor skills, but also combined with red educational resources and traditional festivals to carry out "reading red books, telling red stories", "rural reading season in the new era", "my bookstore, my dream" A series of reading activities allow the villagers to experience the fun of reading at their doorstep, and also make the best use of the "house", giving full play to the role of the "cultural granary" of the rural bookstore.

In Henan, there are not a few cultural fronts like the Farmhouse Bookstore in Zhonggao Village, Luoning County, Luoyang City. Although these "libraries" rooted in the countryside are simple in appearance, they are full of charm, and are becoming "convenience stores" for reading for the whole people and "smart houses" for rural revitalization.
