　　At present, it is the harvest season of sorghum. In the demonstration base of sorghum planting in Huang Zhuang Village, jiangjin district, Chongqing, a large area of sorghum is like a crimson sunset glow, which reflects the smiling faces of farmers in the fields. A group of fashionable young people who are busy in sorghum fields are particularly eye-catching. Among this group of post-90s generation, there are white-collar workers who resigned from cities, and college students who just graduated and joined in the construction of new countryside.

　　Under the background of "rural revitalization" policy, with the expansion of the base of Jiangxiaobai Sorghum Industrial Park year by year, the industrial park has set up a team of post-90 s college students represented by Hu Yuan and Chen Xie, from professional technical needs to overall management of personnel. This sorghum planting team, which was established nearly four years ago and has zero turnover rate, has become a "new farmer" of the post-90s generation in Huang Zhuang, Jiangjin, about 80 kilometers away from the main city of Chongqing.

　　What the local villagers didn’t expect was that the joining of this group of "new farmers" actually changed their lives: the whole process of planting sorghum was not only mechanized, but also the yield per mu increased from more than 300 kilograms when the retail investors planted it in the past to more than 600 kilograms on average, so they could get thousands of yuan a month without going to work in other places.

　　"White-collar" turned into "new farmer" Chaonan has a "manor dream" in his heart.

　　Wearing a white shirt and tie, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and naturally curly hair with a pigtail, if it weren’t for those dark hands and sorghum in his arms, the reporter suddenly felt that Hu Yuan, a post-90 s boy, was an urban "hipster". In the heat of nearly 40 degrees, Hu Yuan is filming Tik Tok in the sorghum field with his friends to record the harvest of sorghum.

　　Hu Yuan, who graduated from Southwest University majoring in agriculture, gave up his job in the postal system in the city two years ago and became a planting technician in Jiangxiaobai Sorghum Industrial Park.

　　"My family has always been very opposed to me going back to the countryside. As an older generation of farmers with traditional ideas, it is hard to get a college student at home, and I definitely don’t want to let my children go back to their hometowns to farm. " Recalling his initial choice, Hu Yuan said that sitting in an office from nine to five was not his favorite working state. Influenced by traditional ideas, fewer and fewer young people are engaged in labor production in rural areas, and the problem of labor shortage is becoming increasingly prominent. He hopes to use the new ideas and technologies he has learned to serve the rural revitalization.

　　"The modern agriculture we study is completely different from the traditional agriculture that our fathers understood. Driven by the rural revitalization strategy, the vast countryside has great potential." Hu Yuan said that he has been working in Jiangxiaobai Sorghum Industrial Park for three years, and the changes brought by new technologies and new machines that he has been constantly exposed to have made him feel quite fulfilled.

　　When replacing the local traditional seedling raising and transplanting link with direct seeding, the seeder in the north could not be applied in practice because of the local soil porosity and moisture, so Hu Yuan combined with some manual work to transform the seeder. After the pilot was successful, the new seeder was widely promoted and applied in the local industrial park.

　　"Adjust the traditional seedling transplanting method to direct seeding, and a modified light seeder can work 20 mu a day, which is equivalent to the traditional seedling transplanting results of 50 laborers." Hu Yuan is full of pride in talking about the changes brought about by agricultural mechanization.

　　The rural life far away from the hustle and bustle of the city has ignited a "manor dream" in Hu Yuan’s heart. He hopes to become a farmer in the future and build a manor of his own.

　　From "ivory tower" to "new countryside", the local feelings of female "group pets"

　　Like Hu Yuan, Chen Xie is also chasing his dreams in this fertile land. "Now many young people are running to the city, and I am going the other way." Chen Xie, who smiled and showed dimples on her face, told reporters that she grew up in the countryside and always liked the greetings between the vast fields and the villagers. Want to have your own garden in the future …

　　Chen Xie, who graduated from Sichuan Agricultural University, devoted himself to the construction of a new countryside as soon as he came out of the "ivory tower". She is the only female technician in the sorghum industrial park, and she is also a "group pet" in everyone’s eyes. She has been working here for nearly two years. Chen Xie’s lively and lovely smile is particularly infectious. In the village, men, women and children get along well with her.

　　Chen Xie’s job is mainly to maintain plants in greenhouses and flower beds in industrial parks. Open her mobile phone photo album, and more than 3,000 photos are almost all kinds of plants or handmade flowers. "Every more plant in the garden is like making another friend." In Chen Xie’s view, the newly cultivated endless summer, the sick geranium, and the newly cut Corolla … all these plants have different growth states, and she has to take photos and record them one by one in order to understand their growth habits and characteristics.

　　Watching the former classmates in the circle of friends bask in the exquisite food and interesting things in the city, Chen Xie admits that although she is a little lost occasionally, she still feels that she prefers the work and life here.

　　"Our company holds graffiti, street dance, car racing and other cultural activities that young people are interested in every year. This atmosphere, coupled with a job I like, gives me a strong sense of belonging." Chen Xie said that in addition to going deep into the fields, we will also participate in various trainings. Enterprises provide us with opportunities for exchanges and cooperation with experts from well-known universities and agricultural academies, so as to avoid "talking on paper"; And encourage us to learn, innovate, use the cutting-edge knowledge and technology of the industry to change local farmers’ cognition of modern agriculture, and mobilize farmers’ enthusiasm for planting sorghum with practical results.

　　"China is a big agricultural country, its industry is improving day by day, and agriculture needs to be developed urgently. However, many rural families and college students’ concepts of agriculture and employment still remain in the past, and the rural employment and entrepreneurship platform is insufficient, resulting in a serious brain drain of high-quality agricultural talents. " Tang Pengfei, production president of Chongqing Jiangxiao Liquor Industry Co., Ltd. said that with the development of agricultural modernization, the speed of agricultural mechanization is accelerating, and the sorghum planting mode has also changed to the agricultural industrial complex, and the demand for agricultural professionals has increased dramatically. Combining with the development of enterprises, it is one of the key reasons to attract college students to return home for employment by providing them with diverse employment space and a platform to pursue their dreams.

　　Tang Pengfei said that in order to build a modern agricultural industrial park, Jiangji winery is supported by Jiang Xiaobai’s whole industrial chain strategy, and the industry promotes the development of primary and tertiary industries, creating more jobs. While attracting college students to return to their hometowns for employment, it also provides many migrant farmers with opportunities to return to their hometowns for employment and promotes a virtuous circle of rural economy.

　　It is understood that there are more than 100 "Chaonong" like Hu Yuan and Chen Xie, who were born in the 1990s, intensively cultivated in this fertile land in this village. With the help of this group of "new farmers", a number of new homestays, entrepreneurial spaces and other projects have settled down one after another, which has given new vitality and vitality to the villages that were mainly left behind by the elderly and children. They have interpreted the new story of the land with their own new ideas and new technologies, driving farmers to increase their income and get rich together.
