Opening up a spiritual home in the new era

Feng Zhengqiang and Jiao Lin

I admire Zhang Wenqiong, I am moved by his selfless dedication and perseverance, and I am moved by his resolute determination to He devoted himself to the plan of getting rid of poverty in impoverished mountain villages and worked hard without any hesitation. I think the most admirable thing about him is that in this era of rampant materialism and distorted values, he used his extraordinary dedication to build a spiritual building for people who are confused, especially young friends. Home enables people to find their destination and meaning of life, and of course they also find happiness. From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to regard him as the pioneer of spiritual homeland in our era of extravagant talk about spirituality.

Pioneers of the spiritual homeland of the new era need to have a calm and conscious spirit of reflection, especially reflection on the current society. Zhang Wenqiong did this. As he pointed out in an interview with a reporter from China Youth Daily, there are two common standards for judging a person's value in current society: either he should be an official or he should be rich. Both types of people will be respected by everyone. It is precisely because of the distortion of the outlook on life and values ??by the entire society that the values ??and outlook on life of young college students have deviated. Nowadays, many young people can't find their direction in life. They have a lot of confusion, confusion, and anxiety. They have a sense of distance from the value of life and their ideals and aspirations, and as a result, they have sadness, confusion, self-denial, or other negative emotions. If there is a lack of clear understanding and independent thinking about this society, Zhang Wenqiong, as a returnee master's degree and a successful person who has donated millions, will not be able to see through this. He is likely to become an admirer and expounder of the current successful culture. But he has seen through it, so he is a success at a higher level and a pioneer in the spiritual home of the new era.

Pioneers of the spiritual homeland in the new era also need to have an enterprising spirit that leaves no one behind but without hesitation. The backward production methods in rural areas and the conservatism of farmers have made it difficult for Xiaokeng Village, which is the epitome of millions of rural areas in China, to develop. Zhang Wenqiong came, full of enthusiasm, new knowledge, and an innocent heart. Four years later, everything has fundamentally changed: the water has become sweeter, the road has become wider, the people have become better, the future has become brighter, and Zhang Wenqiong has become more mature. Without Zhang Wenqiong's initiative and sacrifice, the changes in Xiaokeng Village would not only be far away, but would have to wait for a long time. Without Zhang Wenqiong’s hard work and persistence, the changes in Xiaokeng Village would have remained superficial. I appreciate Zhang Wenqiong's enterprising spirit because this spirit is still a scarce commodity for contemporary youth. Many "post-80s" and "rich second generation" people are overflowing with the smell of cream and perfume. They have a deep appreciation for rural areas. Avoid the smell of earth and sweat.

Pioneers of the spiritual homeland of the new era also need to convey a universal value concept.

The universal value conveyed by Zhang Wenqiong is love, a kind of heartfelt care for farmers, putting down the airs, not having a sense of superiority, and truly thinking about others. Looking at the present, bustling and prosperous, in this noisy world, love has become a vulgar word and a luxurious spirit. Apart from true love for power and money, it is difficult to find true love in the world. There is too much indifference and estrangement between people. It is the strong contrast of this background that makes Zhang Wenqiong great and noble, becoming a coordinate of young people's values. No matter how Zhang Wenqiong will change in the future, at least in the past four years, his selfless love for the villagers of Xiaokeng Village has been witnessed and can be learned from heaven and earth. He made the sermon about being willing to dedicate and sacrifice everything for the collective benefit that we have received since elementary school become real and vivid, and turned the ideal of serving the people from slogans on the wall into real actions.

Zhang Wenqiong changed the image of those who are rich and unkind, changed the image of young people who are impetuous and confused, and also gave new connotation to the pursuit of loving the motherland and loving the people. He brings metaphysical topics such as value, life, dedication and meaning back to the hearts of contemporary young people who are addicted to the pursuit of metaphysical material desires. We need to reflect on these metaphysical topics that are related to our own destiny. We do not lack enthusiastic preachers on these topics, but we lack a guide and forerunner who can practice them. Zhang Wenqiong did it, so I say he is the pioneer of the spiritual home of our time.

Socrates said that a life not chosen carefully is not worth living. Zhang Wenqiong's actions well interpret the sage's words. I hope every Chinese young man can remember this sentence, look up to the stars, keep his feet on the ground, devote himself to society, and better realize the value of his life.

We should go home and visit often

Wang Guixiang

"Returnee Master", "Donate millions", "College Student Village Official", these are the things posted on Zhang Wenqiong Labels have attracted attention and thinking from all walks of life. So, what is the significance of Zhang Wenqiong? What kind of opportunity made Zhang Wenqiong and Xiaokeng Village what they are today? In fact, there are only a few words - go home often!

We might as well change Zhang Wenqiong The face of poverty in Xiaokeng Village is simplified. Don't say that you have returned from studying abroad, and don't say that you have a master's degree in business administration from a famous British university. Because standing on the muddy road in Xiaokeng Village, he was just a kid walking out of here. I would like to ask, which wanderer can remain indifferent to the poverty at home after returning home? Zhang Wenqiong felt it and took action. Undoubtedly, when he first returned to Xiaokeng Village and saw the scene where the villagers had to fetch water from the mountain stream, it would also flash in the minds of many aspiring young people who left their hometowns, and even cause waves, because this is the current situation in many rural areas in China. So have we ever thought about learning from Zhang Wenqiong and changing the face of our hometown through our own abilities?

The "number one" village like Zhang Wenqiong mentioned has cultivated many "number one", but none of them Come back and contribute to your hometown. This is not only sad, but also sad. Mr. Liang Qichao said: When young people are strong, China will be strong. China has trained so many college students and so many entrepreneurs. If everyone could go home often to visit and feed back their hometown, perhaps our poor rural areas would have a different scene. Zhang Wenqiong came back, returned to his hometown, and changed the poor and poor face of Xiaokeng Village. After Zhang Wenqiong, his cousin Zhang Qiongxin took over as director of the Xiaokeng Village Committee. This makes people feel relieved and see hope.

What are the advantages of a college student village official with no money?

Dai Li

Zhang Wenqiong returned from studying in the UK and took root in Xiaokeng Village with 1 million yuan of savings. The behavior of changing the face of impoverished mountainous areas is indeed admirable. But can a newly graduated college student have his own company and 1 million savings like Zhang Wenqiong? More college graduates come to the countryside with full enthusiasm and the knowledge they have learned, and contribute to the countryside. of. So, compared with Zhang Wenqiong, what are their advantages? Especially for graduates from agricultural colleges like Henan Agricultural University, what are their advantages in serving the construction of new rural areas?

First, professional advantages .

Agricultural science colleges are the cradle of cultivating agricultural science and technology talents, and serving "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" is their fundamental educational purpose. The professional settings of agricultural colleges are closely related to the construction of new rural areas. Therefore, agricultural graduates have mastered relevant professional knowledge after four years of systematic study. When employed in rural areas, they can give full play to their professional advantages, apply what they have learned, and make full use of their talents. For example: Wen Zhen, who graduated from Henan Agricultural University in 2008 with a major in agriculture, has served as the deputy secretary of the Party branch of Huzhai Village, Yifeng Township, Lankao County for two years. He has used his professional advantages to develop facility agriculture and worked with villagers to build winter-warming greenhouses24 There are 9 solar greenhouses and 9 solar greenhouses. Xu Guangchun, the former secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, fully affirmed the scientific development achievements of Huzhai when he inspected and guided the construction of new rural areas in Huzhai in October 2009. Wen Zhen himself was also rated as a model for new rural construction in Kaifeng City and an outstanding college student village in Kaifeng City. cadre. In December 2009, he was invited to participate in the "Supporting Farmer Cooperative Organizations and Rural Innovation Process" seminar organized by the Agricultural Policy Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and Urban-Rural Mutual Aid Experience Exchange Meeting held by Renmin University of China, where he learned Cutting-edge theories of rural development and advanced experiences from various places. He relied on the professional and technical advantages of his alma mater to continuously improve himself and put the knowledge he learned into practice, so that the knowledge in the book could be transformed into productivity and benefit the people.

The second is the student advantage. Most students in agricultural colleges come from rural areas. They were born and grew up in the countryside. They have simple feelings about agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and are more familiar with and understand the living and working environment in the countryside. It can be said that they can adapt to the environment and enter their roles as quickly as possible when building new rural areas. After graduating from Henan Agricultural University in 2007, Wang Ziheng, majoring in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, returned to his hometown Yuezhuang Village, Yushan Town, Suiping County, as an assistant to the village director. He has a unique affection for the land where he was born and raised. Combining his major, he went from house to house to promote scientific breeding, and took the lead in founding the Tianyue Ecological Breeding Professional Cooperative in Suiping County. With his unremitting efforts, the cooperative has now grown more than 50 members, built more than 10 new livestock and poultry farms, produces about 30,000 pigs annually, 400,000 laying hens annually, 120 dairy cows, and beef cattle. There are about 200 animals in stock, creating employment for more than 200 wealthy rural laborers and generating annual income of more than 4 million yuan, injecting new vitality and vitality into the development of local animal husbandry. In the words of Wang Ziheng: Only by being a farmer first can the masses trust you; only by doing more practical things can the masses convince you; only by daring to suffer losses can the masses follow you.

The vast world of rural areas is a big stage for young college students to display their talents. College student village officials who are determined to make a difference in the countryside can better realize the value of life and make greater contributions only by giving full play to their own advantages.
