Liu Haitao, branch secretary of Shunyi Village in Beijing: Only rural people can speed up and increase efficiency for rural revitalization

Beijing News (reporter Cao Jingrui) beautiful leisure park, spacious fitness square, regular parking lot... Luzheng Roll Village, Niulanshan Town, Shunyi District, is definitely worthy of the four words "beautiful countryside". After the release of the No. 1 central document, Liu Haitao, secretary of the party branch of Luzhengjuan Village, was most impressed by two of the words - "beautiful and livable" and "rural talents". Among them, rural talents are one of the high-frequency words in the No. 1 document of the Central Committee, and in Liu Haitao's view, the various favorable policies for rural talents in the document will play a catalytic role in rural development and revitalization.

A beautiful and livable village must be "both inside and outside"

The streets and alleys in the village have been hardened and greened, the environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, the public toilets are clean and tidy, the villagers have a strong sense of environmental protection, and every household actively participates in the beautification and greening. The village is equipped with table tennis room, fitness activity room, badminton court, multi-functional activity room, fitness square... Relying on a series of policies such as beautiful rural construction, human settlement environment improvement, and "toilet revolution" in recent years, Luzheng roll village in Niulanshan Town, Shunyi District, has truly become one of the "beautiful and livable" villages in the suburbs of Beijing.

This year's No. 1 document of the Central Committee clearly stated in the content of the "Five-year Action to Implement the Improvement of Rural Human Settlements" that it is necessary to "carry out demonstration and creation activities of beautiful and livable villages and beautiful courtyards." "In Liu Haitao's view, behind a simple sentence, it actually covers all aspects of rural governance." What is beautiful and livable? My understanding is that it is necessary to include both the improvement of the rural hardware environment and the change and transformation of the village culture and the villagers' consciousness. Liu Haitao said that he has been engaged in rural grassroots work for more than ten years, and he has a deep understanding of the improvement of the rural environment. What is the biggest difference between living in the city and the countryside, the most intuitive feeling must be that there is a gap between the kitchen and the toilet, but that is a gap a long time ago, now every household in the countryside has a spacious and bright kitchen, clean toilets, including the public toilets in the village are not what everyone remembers, purely from the perspective of the living environment, the degree of 'livability' in the countryside is definitely not lost to the city. At the same time, in recent years, the villagers' ideological and cultural consciousness has also been transformed and improved," Liu Haitao said, after the "Central No. 1" document landed, relying on various favorable policies, more rural areas across the country will be built into beautiful and livable villages that are "both inside and outside".

Rural talents will speed up and increase efficiency for rural development and revitalization

"Rural talent" is another word that impressed Liu Haitao in the No. 1 document of the Central Committee. Similarly, Liu Haitao, who has been rooted in rural grassroots work for more than ten years, knows the importance of talents for rural governance and rural development. The No. 1 document of the Central Committee mentioned that "the revitalization of rural talents will be included in the overall deployment of the party committee's talent work, the talent training mechanism suitable for rural characteristics will be improved, and the incentive and constraint of talent service in the countryside will be strengthened", "outstanding cadres will be selected to the frontline posts of rural revitalization", and even clearly proposed to "strengthen the incentive and care for rural grass-roots cadres, increase salary subsidies, improve working and living conditions, and effectively help solve practical difficulties" In particular, it is necessary to attract young talents to go deep into rural work and inject new vitality and new ideas into rural work.

"Today's rural Areas in China are no longer the rural areas of a few years ago, rural work requires both rich experience, innovative thinking, and broad vision, so the continuous introduction and supplementation of professional talents is a strong support for the future rural revitalization work, and it is also a top priority." Liu Haitao feels that the role of the huge contingent of rural talents in the future will be like a catalyst, which will speed up and increase the efficiency of rural development and revitalization.
