CPPCC member Chen Xiaohua： It is necessary to attract people returning to the countryside to innovate and start businesses in the countryside.

　　CCTV News:Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held its second press conference on March 8th at the first session of the 13th session, inviting Yang Weimin, deputy director of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group Office, Hu Xiaolian, chairman and party secretary of The Export-Import Bank of China, Chen Xiaohua, former vice minister of agriculture, Qian Yingyi, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and president of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, and Ning Gaoning, party secretary and chairman of China Sinochem Group Co., Ltd. to answer questions from reporters on promoting high-quality economic development.

　　First Financial Reporter: I would like to ask Commissioner Chen Xiaohua, as we all know, industrial prosperity is the focus of rural revitalization. Recently, we learned in an interview that the rural population is decreasing continuously and some villages are "hollowed out". Excuse me, Commissioner Chen, how to make the industrial revitalization accurately land in such a village?

　　Chen Xiaohua: As we all know, the key to rural revitalization lies in people. If a village loses its popularity and talents, the development of this village will definitely be bad. At the present stage, the rural labor force is indeed decreasing continuously, and some villages have also appeared the phenomenon of "hollowing out". We should look at this problem from two aspects. On the one hand, it is an inevitable result of urbanization. Many countries in the world experienced the phenomenon of rural population outflow before the urbanization rate reached 70%. In the past five years, the rural population has settled in cities for a total of nearly 80 million, making them become urban residents from farmers. In the future, the transfer of rural population and the settlement in cities will increase, which can be said to be an objective trend. On the other hand, we also have to admit that people are empty, and there is no popularity. If we only rely on the old, weak women and children left behind, this village will definitely be bad. Therefore, we should pay attention to this situation and not treat it passively, otherwise, the rural revitalization and industrial prosperity will come to nothing.

　　From the experience of some places, the key is to focus on people, and we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we should vigorously cultivate new subjects and new farmers. To do this well, one is to rely on staying, that is, to vigorously cultivate local talents, especially rich leaders and practical talents in rural areas, and lead the masses to develop production and do a good job in village construction through them. Therefore, the training of rural practical talents and new farmers in recent years has played a positive role in solving this problem. On the other hand, to rely on introduction means to attract talented people who go out and talents in the city through various policies.

　　It is necessary to attract people returning to the countryside to innovate and start businesses in the countryside. In fact, in recent years, there have been about 7 million people who have returned to the countryside to engage in new industries and new formats, which have brought vitality and vitality to the countryside. This trend should be actively supported and guided.

　　On the other hand, optimize the layout of villages. In fact, with the change of rural population, it will inevitably lead to changes in villages, so we should start from reality and consider optimizing the layout of villages according to local conditions from now on. For villages with conditions, it is mainly through infrastructure construction and public service provision to create conditions for farmers’ production and life. Villages with historical and cultural values should be protected, and villages without living conditions should be relocated. Therefore, through these measures, people can be retained and brought down, and various measures for industrial revitalization can be implemented.
