Xinhua News Agency reporter
“Since the beginning of this year, we have overcome the new crown pneumonia epidemic, flooding and natural disasters and other difficulties. Grain and agricultural production have enjoyed bumper harvests, rural areas are harmonious and stable, and farmers are happy and healthy. This has played an important role in opening up new situations, responding to the situation, and stabilizing the overall situation.”
On the occasion of the Fourth Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival, General Secretary Xi Jinping, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, extended festive congratulations and sincere condolences to farmers and comrades working on the “three rural” fronts across the country.

In this tribute to the hard work of the festival, looking at the land of China, there are moving colors everywhere-golden rice fields, green vegetable fields, colorful orchards, blue seashores, white sheep…Red orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, surging everywhere. With joy and hope.
This is the fruit of God’s reward for hard work, this is a tribute to the hard work, this is the picture scroll painted by the sweat of hundreds of millions of farmers, this is the new well-off face of the ancient farming civilization.

The mark of struggle is in the harvest
The Sanjiang Plain under the sun is golden and fragrant. A race against time and a battle to “grab food” for a bumper harvest has begun.

In the paddy field of Zhao Qingjun in the sixth management area of Heilongjiang Qixing Farm, three windrowers are operating. Zhao Qingjun planted more than 400 acres of rice this year, seizing the fine weather to grab the harvest, threshing and returning it to the warehouse after harvesting, so that he does not have to worry about lodging in the later stage, but also reduces harvest loss.
Thousands of miles away in Lanxi County, dense layers of corn are about to mature. This year there is plenty of sunshine and rain, and the maturity period has advanced. Du Yadong, chairman of the Ruifeng Corn Planting Cooperative in Lanhe Township, said with joy: “In recent years, the organic matter content of the black soil has increased through straw returning to the field and protective farming.

no pain no gain. In the golden autumn season, there is a taste of bumper harvest everywhere in the north and south of the river.
In Xinping Village, Gaotian Town, Shicheng County, Jiangxi, the golden rice ears on a ridge of terraced fields exude a delicate fragrance. During this period, in order to ensure that the rice fields are not “visited” by wild animals, villager Chen Mingchun takes a flashlight and a small horn that plays the sound of firecrackers to patrol the fields three or four times late every night.

“This year, my husband and I have a good harvest of more than 20 mu of rice. In order to encourage rice cultivation, the county has a subsidy of 300 yuan per mu for double-season rice, and insurance is also provided. The maximum compensation per mu is 400 yuan, we feel more at ease.” Chen Mingchun said.
In the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, a bumper crop was hard to come by. Some areas of Henan, a major grain-producing province, have experienced extreme floods, and autumn grain production affects people’s hearts. Epidemics and meteorological disasters have exacerbated fluctuations in the international grain market. Whether China’s rice bowl can be stabilized is directly related to whether the ballast for economic and social development is stable.

This year, my country has implemented the same responsibility of the party and government for food security, and each level has consolidated responsibilities. The area of autumn grain has increased, especially the area of high-yield corn. In key agricultural times, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with relevant departments and localities, strengthen disaster prevention and mitigation deployment by region, variety and link. The affected area of autumn grain in Henan was 11 million mu. As of mid-September, about half of the 5.25 million mu of land that had no harvest has been replanted and replanted.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs stated that due to the increase in prices of agricultural materials, the central government allocated about 20 billion yuan to grant one-off subsidies to actual grain farmers. This year, the state has also expanded the scope of implementation of food crop complete cost insurance and planting income insurance. At the same time, special attention is paid to the loss of the machine collection link to ensure that the particles are returned to the warehouse.

From production, processing, distribution to people’s dining table, every step of the effort is to cherish the harvest and pay tribute to the “hard work”.
Food is stable and the world is safe. This year, the production of summer grain and early rice has increased, and the autumn grain harvest is in sight, adding confidence to the granary of the big countries, ensuring that the overall promotion of rural revitalization has a good start, and it also provides solid support for starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

The joy of increasing income, in the sweat of dreaming together
In the past few days, the Longwangtang Fishing Port in Dalian High-tech Zone is particularly busy. In the sea breeze, unloading fishing boats, shuttle boatmen, and purchased vehicles were bustling. Hairtail, mackerel, pomfret, squid, fresh shrimp and other varieties are abundant, and many citizens come here to choose seafood just off the ship.
“September 2nd, the second day after the summer fishing break this year, everyone smiled on their faces. I maintained order, and my voice became hoarse and happy!” said Zhang Rongbin, the person in charge of Longwangtang Fishing Port. The fishing measures have been implemented well, and the harvest of many fishing boats has doubled compared with previous years after the start of fishing.
Wang Shengming, a fishing boat operator, said happily that this year there are more varieties of catches, and the amount is also large. “In the past, fishing boats went out to sea and came back every three or four days; this year, the harvest is good, and they will come back in one or two days.”

Long-term scenery should be eye-catching. Achieving stable income growth in the coordinated development of ecology and economy, and achieving high-quality development in terms of quality, brand and market, has added new colors to this harvest season.
On the Internet, the 2021 Chinese Farmers Harvest Festival Golden Autumn Consumption Season activities are gradually getting better. The owner of Xinguoban Tmall flagship store and “post-80s” Liu Gangyu has cooperated with Juhuasuan this year to participate in the promotion of specialty agricultural products in the Yangtze River Basin, and the main product is red kiwi, a specialty of Pujiang in Sichuan. Last year, he sold 5 million catties of red kiwifruit, which drove the average income of villagers in Futian Village, Xilai Town, Pujiang to increase by more than 1,000 yuan.
“Compared with the Internet industry before, the most obvious thing is that there are no weekends. If I am not in the store, I will be on the way to the field and to the warehouse. Although it is hard, we promote standardized planting, timely picking, and graded procurement to drive The folks plant good fruits, achieve high quality and good prices, and have a sense of accomplishment!” He said happily.

In the harvest year, I look forward to increasing income. Many villagers sighed that nowadays, everyone is not only rich in pockets, but also rich in brains-focusing on market demand, developing the entire industry chain, making good use of mobile phones, new farm tools, and live broadcast of new farm work. The change of concept brings more far-reaching changes. In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in my country reached 9,248 yuan, an actual increase of 14.1% after deducting price factors, which was 3.4 percentage points higher than the growth rate of urban residents’ income.
“Let the deserted mountains and ridges lively, and let the masses bulge.” This is the wish of Yan Taikun, a “post-90s” young man from Yanmen Village, Benzhuang Town, Shiqian County, Guizhou Province. Seeing that there were more and more elderly and children in the village, he resolutely quit his construction work and returned to his hometown to encourage the villagers to develop silky fowl breeding under the forest. Now his breeding professional cooperative has developed steadily and has absorbed more than 10 poverty-stricken households as shares, and the villagers have achieved employment at their doorsteps. The mountain village that used to be sluggish and quiet is now happy.
Between the world and the earth, the mountain and countryside have changed dramatically; a hundred years have changed the world.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. From having a full stomach and getting rid of poverty, to building a well-off society in an all-round way and promoting rural revitalization in an all-round way…Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the rural land has a new look. The happy smiling faces make people even more convinced: Continue to struggle on a new starting point, and a better life is ahead!
People are prosperous and prosperous, in the wishes of the new journey
When people celebrate the good harvest, some people are on the road, sowing hope for tomorrow.
“For the census
You are willing to climb the mountains
You are willing to go to the village
You are willing to wear the stars and the moon

Moved by your steadfastness and hard work
Thank you for being my teammates”
——This is what Jiang Liling of the Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences of Qinghai University recently posted in the circle of friends. The picture is a photo of teammates visiting farmers and collecting seeds in the mountains at an altitude of four to five kilometers in Qinghai. The young faces, together with the simple farmers and herdsmen, have become the most moving scenery in the mountains.

With seeds, there is hope; with confidence, there is power.
If the nation is to rejuvenate, the countryside must be rejuvenated. Entering a new journey of achieving the second centenary goal, the focus of the “three rural” work has historically shifted to comprehensively promote rural revitalization. From a new starting point, General Secretary Xi Jinping requested that the priority of agricultural and rural development should be adhered to, and the modernization of agricultural and rural areas should be accelerated, so that the lives of farmers will be steadily blooming.
It rained a few days ago, and the air in Xiaojieji Town, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia was exceptionally fresh. In the eyes of Du Yongbin, who is nearly sixty years old, the most beautiful scenery in this autumn is the prosperous Leymus chinensis, as well as the cows and geese that are fed with shiny coats.

By chance, encouraged by the researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he contracted more than 3,000 acres of land here to grow Leymus chinensis on the saline-alkali land and sandy land. Although the investment cost in the first year is relatively high and it will take two to three years to see the benefits, he is confident that after one investment, the income will be stable for 20 to 30 years.
This year is the third year of sowing grass seeds. Selling grass seeds alone earned more than 2.5 million yuan in revenue. The 600 tons of hay that were laid are in short supply in horse farms and cattle farms in big cities, and the money for their own cattle and geese feed is also saved. Seeing that Leymus chinensis grows well, many villagers have followed it.

“Next summer and autumn, we will be greener and more beautiful here, and everyone’s life must be better.” Du Yongbin said with a smile. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the emerald green pastures surround the village, making it more spacious and peaceful.
The heavy harvest is written on the earth and reflected in the hearts of the villagers. It is a constant abundance of gain, happiness, and security.

“Our countryside used to be’all in gray on a sunny day, and all in mud on a rainy day.’ Through the construction of beautiful villages, cement roads were built, fruit trees were planted, buses were passed, and it took more than ten minutes to get to the county, and there was rubbish at the door of each house. Barrel…Now our rural areas are very good. The only problem is heating. If it can be changed to electric heating instead of boilers, it will be even better.” Li Yucheng, a villager in Shuangxing Village, Huachuan County, Heilongjiang Province, said a thousand words. The changes in tens of thousands of villages also express the hope of the villagers for the future.

The countryside is our common landscape home, the pastoral in our hearts. This year is the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, and it is also a key year for the consolidation and expansion of the results of poverty alleviation and the effective connection of rural revitalization. The “two centuries” meet here, embarking on a new journey to comprehensively build a modern socialist country. People work together to paint a new picture with the power of science and technology, and the farming culture that has lasted for thousands of years is full of new vitality. Today, in the Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival, people place their longest thoughts and wish for a brighter future.

On the day of the autumn equinox, one of the home events of this year’s Chinese Farmers Harvest Festival was held in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. As a pioneer of reform and opening up, Zhejiang is a demonstration zone for high-quality development and construction of common prosperity, while Jiaxing is the starting point for the red boat. “The Communist Party was born to celebrate the workers and peasants in the painting boat of the sound of the revolution.” This harvest festival has a special meaning for all Chinese people.

Agriculture is the state, and the state is solid. Let the people live a happy life is the “big one in the country.” In the field of hope, with the “big man of the country” in mind, and adhering to the original aspiration at a new starting point, and working tirelessly, the life of the folks will definitely become more and more prosperous. The five grains are abundant, the six animals are prosperous, and the harvest in the countryside is bound to be a bumper harvest for the nation!
