On a summer afternoon, at the village committee of Malie Village in Shilong Town, Xiangzhou County, Laibin City, Guangxi Province, village officials talked about the achievements of rural revitalization in the past two years, with a smile on their faces, stating that standardized pig farms and duck farms have been built, and the planting area of characteristic fruits such as Sanhong honey pomelo has reached more than 300 acres. Yao Xiong, the secretary of the village's party branch, sighed and said, "Our village has undergone such great changes, thanks to the city's implementation of the retired military training program." In the past, Malie Village had a small industrial scale, and most villagers planted traditional economic crops with low income. After retiring and returning home, Yao Xiong relied on the courage and bravery of a soldier to develop characteristic industries and make a name for himself. In 2017, he was elected as the Secretary of the Marxist Leninist Village Party Branch with a high number of votes. In order to further enhance the entrepreneurial and innovative capabilities of the "Military Support Secretary" and better empower rural revitalization, in 2021, Laibin City launched the "Head Goose Navigation" training program, and Yao Xiong became one of the first key training objects. During the training period, the mentor not only arranged courses such as rural revitalization, industrial development, and grassroots governance for them, but also organized agricultural technicians to provide hands-on guidance and assistance. After returning from his studies, Yao Xiong attempted to establish a development model of "leading enterprises+professional cooperatives+farmers+characteristic agricultural products", exploring the development of industries such as characteristic breeding, vegetable and fruit planting, and rural cultural tourism, leading villagers to become prosperous and driving collective economic income growth. Thanks to the systematic training, I have broadened my horizons, improved my quality, and gained more confidence in promoting rural revitalization, "said Yao Xiong. In Laibin City, there are more than 100 "military branch secretaries" who understand "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" and dare to take on responsibilities like Yao Xiong. The revitalization of rural areas requires' leading geese 'who are willing to endure hardships, able to persevere, and good at research, and care about their fellow villagers. "The city leaders introduced that they focus on the difficulties in selecting grassroots cadres and resolving grassroots conflicts, and have issued the' Implementation Opinions on the Election of Village (Community) 'Two Committees'. Combined with the village committee election, a group of capable, technically proficient, and management savvy retired soldiers will be absorbed into the' Two Committees' team, and through the 'Leading Geese Navigation' training program, the 'Military Support Secretary' will be guided to become the 'leading geese' leading the masses to become prosperous and achieve a moderately prosperous society. The Laibin Military Sub district, in conjunction with relevant local departments, will rely on the "Head Goose Navigation" training program to carry out the training of "Military Support Secretaries": making the Party's innovative theory, rural revitalization strategy deployment, and revolutionary traditional education compulsory courses; Organize practical skills training in popular fields such as characteristic agriculture, rural tourism, and e-commerce marketing through a combination of online and offline methods; Inviting model retired soldiers and successful entrepreneurs to serve as "entrepreneurial mentors" to share experiences and solve development problems... "In the past two years, the rice production in our village has continued to decline. How can this problem be solved? ”At the training class, Xu Zhengqi, Secretary of the Party Branch of Po Liu Village, Qidong Township, Xingbin District, asked a question. The guiding teacher conducted a field investigation in the village specifically on this issue and concluded that the manual transplanting and throwing of seedlings not only have low efficiency, but also lead to uneven photosynthesis and poor ventilation; Insufficient soil fertility, poor rice varieties... Identify the "root cause" and apply precise "medicine". Under the advice of his mentor, Xu Zhengqi and village officials integrated village collective funds, purchased intelligent seedling cultivation assembly lines and mechanized transplanting machines, and introduced a professional team to test soil formulas and apply fertilizers scientifically. Last year, the village completed more than 1000 acres of rice seedling cultivation, and the villagers increased their income by more than 200000 yuan. In addition, the military and civilian sectors of the city have established a talent reserve pool through "centralized training+comprehensive evaluation+dynamic investigation". As of now, they have selected more than 400 outstanding party members and retired soldiers with strong political qualities, strong wealth generating ability, and good public reputation from the retired soldiers in the city to be included in the "Military Support Secretary" talent reserve pool. We also cooperate with local universities to offer degree upgrading training courses, arrange one-on-one guidance from university teachers on selecting majors and making plans, help them improve their knowledge structure, enhance their educational level, and strengthen their ability to work hard, start businesses, and lead the way to wealth, "said the leader of the military district. The head goose flaps its wings and the flock of geese flies. The leaders of the Veterans Affairs Bureau of the city introduced that in the next step, they will continue to deepen military civilian cooperation, make continuous efforts in precise policy support, specialized capacity training, and diversified incentive guarantees, improve the "selection, education, management, and use" training mechanism, and guide more veterans to participate in rural revitalization.
