On the afternoon of March 22nd, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, who was investigating in Fujian, came to Yanzite Ecological Tea Garden in Xingcun Town, Wuyishan City to observe the growth of spring tea and understand the development of local tea industry. The general secretary pointed out: "Tea culture, tea industry and tea science and technology should be coordinated. In the past, tea industry was the pillar industry for you to get rid of poverty and attack hard, and it will become the pillar industry for rural revitalization in the future."
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader spoke highly of the historic achievements made in the development of Wuyishan tea industry, fully affirmed the great significance of the system of special commissioners for science and technology, and pointed out the road and gathered strength for us to effectively link the achievements of consolidating and expanding poverty alleviation with rural revitalization.
"Wuyishan, a place with a long history of tea culture, suitable climate, obvious advantages in tea resources and scientific and technological support, has formed a vibrant tea industry." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader broke the "success code" of Wuyishan tea industry in one word, that is, taking advantage of the situation, coordinating the inherent advantages of culture and resources, and enabling resources and industries to form a high degree of matching through science and technology, so as to drive one side of the economy and the rich people. This provides an important methodology for developing characteristic industries according to local conditions throughout the country.
Scientific and technological innovation is the key support for rapid industrial development and comprehensive rural revitalization. In this respect, the system of special commissioners for science and technology, which originated in Fujian and Nanping, has made outstanding contributions. This system is the innovation of the working mechanism of the Supreme Leader General Secretary’s cordial care, guidance, summary and promotion when working in Fujian. Over the past 20 years, the system of science and technology commissioners has achieved fruitful results in Fujian. Science and technology commissioners show farmers, lead farmers to work and help farmers earn money, and make technology "grow" in the soil, which has become an important starting point for scientific and technological innovative talents to serve rural revitalization. We should further sum up experience and continue to improve, consolidate and persist.
If the nation is to be revived, the countryside will be revitalized. Party committees and governments at all levels should profoundly understand the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, base themselves on local characteristic resources, conform to the law of industrial development, and take more effective measures to promote the development and growth of rural industries, so that farmers can have more sense of gain and happiness.
