"Now that flue-cured tobacco is in the management and protection period, we must pay attention not to be flooded and clean up the diseased ......plants in time," he first met Su Jiaen, who was learning about the management and protection of flue-cured tobacco from tobacco farmers in the field. While talking, he walked into the field, explaining the key points of management and protection to the tobacco farmers, and at the same time cleaning up the diseased plants. The plain and clear words and natural and skillful movements all show his professionalism as a "tobacco man".
Su Jiaen is a baking technician of the tobacco technology center of Dali Tobacco Company, since he joined the work in 1999, he has been conscientious and always on the front line, and has won many provincial and state science and technology progress awards, and has won the 2021 Yunnan May Day Labor Medal, the tobacco industry in 2022 "The Most Beautiful Science and Technology Worker" and other honors.
With solid tobacco baking skills and excellent work results, he was elected as a representative of the 14th National People's Congress in January 2023, full of excitement and pride, and attended the first and second sessions of the 14th National People's Congress with the expectations and entrustment of the people of Baizhou.
It started with the original intention of "shock".
"I have the technology I can help them, and I will definitely be able to help them."
The original intention needs time to be tested. The story of Su Jiaen's original intention starts with his first experience in the countryside. In 1999, Yang Zhangjun, a tobacco farmer in Anji Village, Yongping County, couldn't find the way to grow tobacco in the first year, and roasted two kilns of tobacco one after another. Knowing this situation, Su Jiaen and his colleagues immediately went to Yang Zhangjun's home for a field visit. The low walls are dilapidated, the empty courtyard is overgrown with weeds, two or three chickens forage in the weeds, and the simple timber houses are old and dilapidated...... Walking into Yang Zhangjun's house, Su Jiaen was shocked by the sight.
"I wasn't born in a rural area, so my first reaction was shock, looking at the helplessness and longing in the eyes of the tobacco farmers, my heart was hit hard, and then there was firmness, I must help them." After learning the details, Su Jiaen and his colleagues taught Yang Zhangjun flue-cured tobacco hand in hand, and prevented greater losses in time. After this experience, Su Jiaen, who had just joined the company, had a strong idea of "must do something real for tobacco farmers".
Since then, Su Jiaen has taken it as his responsibility to improve the income of tobacco farmers and solve the shortcomings of tobacco baking, shuttled through the fields and buried himself in the roasting room, and made extraordinary achievements in ordinary jobs, becoming a skilled leader in the tobacco industry in Dali Prefecture, and silently contributing to the realization of Dali Prefecture's goal of "strong tobacco leaves, beautiful tobacco areas, and rich tobacco farmers" and helping rural revitalization.
Solve the problem of "baking" the field
"Whenever we solve the problems in baking for tobacco farmers and the patented technology brings benefits to tobacco farmers, I will still be happy like a child when I look at the smiles of tobacco farmers. Because their laughter is the greatest affirmation for me! ”
Crawling in the experimental field, repeated experiments in the laboratory, and night battles in the office...... For Su Jiaen, these are "commonplace". After day and night trial and exploration, Su Jiaen overcame the baking problem of Honghua Dajinyuan, and reduced the baking loss rate in the Hongda Smoke area from 27% to 6.85%; Research and build a "double airflow dense baking room" that can bake even in the state of power failure, and won the national patent.
"The massive use of coal not only consumes energy, but also brings about the emission of some pollutants, which will damage the living environment in rural areas." While overcoming various baking problems, Su Jiaen kept in mind the entrustment of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and took the lead in proposing the concept of biomass instead of coal-fired baking in the country, guiding tobacco farmers to use waste tobacco stalks in tobacco fields as fuel for tobacco leaf roasting, which not only solves the problem of air pollution caused by traditional coal-fired baking, but also solves the problem of tobacco residue polluting farmland.
Deputy to the National People's Congress Su Jiaen
New energy baking was officially proposed by our tobacco industry in 2017, which is to replace coal burning with new energy for baking. At that time, a series of alternative tests such as biomass, methanol, natural gas, and electric energy were carried out, and according to the verification results, biomass was easy to produce and easy to promote, so biomass energy was preferred. Now all our ovens are new energy ovens, and we have put an end to the construction of new coal-fired ovens.
As the "Pepsi Gang" at the grassroots level of tobacco in Dali, the big and small affairs of tobacco farmers have been "handled" by Su Jiaen. For more than 20 years, in the day and night with tobacco farmers, he has become the "Teacher Su" in the mouth of tobacco farmers.

Our family has been growing flue-cured tobacco for more than ten years, and we have planted more than 100 acres this year. Every year, from the beginning of planting, to the later management and baking, Mr. Su comes to give us some technical guidance from time to time. Mr. Su is very good, and he patiently teaches us everything we don't know. Under his guidance, our flue-cured tobacco production and tobacco leaf quality have been greatly improved, and our income has also increased.
Intern Zhu Yue
Mr. Su is a good teacher with a lot of responsibility, he is meticulous and able to answer and solve problems during our internship in a timely manner. From Mr. Su, I learned professional knowledge and felt Mr. Su's love for this job and his deep concern for tobacco farmers as a tobacco person.
Always a representative of the "benefit" of the people
"As a deputy to the National People's Congress, I am constantly helping rural farmers to make them better day by day, which is very meaningful."
As a technician walking in the field, Su Jiaen has always been anxious about the urgency of tobacco farmers and never "hides his secrets". In order to improve the skills of tobacco farmers, he often went to the countryside to carry out training, training many times a day, day and night. Over the past 20 years, more than 5,000 trainees have been trained, bringing out many baking technology experts, and turning baking technology into a real "wealth code" for tobacco farmers.
Since being elected as a representative of the National People's Congress in 2023, Su Jiaen has felt a great responsibility, he has combined "being a good spokesperson for the people" with his own work, consciously taking it as his responsibility to support rural revitalization and promote the high-quality development of tobacco leaves.
Su Jiaen
After assuming the status of a people's congress deputy, the focus of my work has also changed to a certain extent, and I have more time to go to the rural areas to listen to the voices of the vast number of peasants. In this process, I found that compared with the rural areas in the past, the material aspects of the rural areas have undergone earth-shaking changes, but at the spiritual level, for example, the farmers' management consciousness and labor concept still need to be continuously improved, and if these concepts do not change, the farmers will not be able to adapt to the development of modern agriculture.
As a representative of the National People's Congress from the field of agricultural science and technology, Su Jiaen believes that while focusing on mechanization and promoting digitalization, we should also continue to work hard to cultivate a team of high-quality tobacco farmers. After in-depth research and demonstration, Su Jiaen brought the "earthy" suggestions such as "Coordinated Promotion of the Cultivation of High-quality Farmers in Agricultural Production" to this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, so that "what the people want" can go straight to "the direction of governance".
"I hope that by cultivating new farmers, they can improve their business awareness, production technology, scientific and cultural literacy, adapt to the development of modern agriculture, and integrate into rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization as soon as possible." Talking about his work plan in cultivating high-quality farmers, Su Jiaen said that he would give full play to the advantages of the National People's Congress deputies in close contact with front-line tobacco farmers, rely on the "Su Jiaen Skill Master Studio", increase the cultivation of professional service-oriented professional roasters, and drive the development of more "post-80s" and "post-90s" high-quality tobacco farmers.
"One thing, a lifetime, just for the tobacco farmers to smile sweeter and have a more beautiful life. All my life, one thing, I will always stick to it! ”
Choose a career in your life, and drill a career for a lifetime. Go to the side of tobacco farmers, be a "caring person" of tobacco farmers, and step on the soil under his feet, Su Jiaen has always adhered to the direction in his heart, all the way forward, and never stopped......
