In the area of charity for the common good, the yang gang is an indiscreet figure who has long been engaged in social policy research in the fields of social security, charitable public goods and non-profit organizations, integrated farmers' cooperatives, community public services, long-term care for the elderly, and whose policy recommendations are to move from the ground to grow from farmers' productive lives。

The 75-year-old yang gang is capable of short hair, bright skin, eyes full of gods, immersion of glory and courage. She leans on the couch, reminiscent of her past, precious memories, unforgettable experiences, long steadfastness, as the stream of twilight flows。
People are the best umbrellas
“i found the best umbrella in my troubled childhood, not my parents, but the peasants, the people.”
The yang gang, born of the revolutionary family, whose fathers yang xian and wei quang yi were students of qinghua university, joined the communist party of china (cpc) during the “12/9” movement and has since embarked on a revolutionary journey to yanan. In blood and fire, they have experienced a change of mind and have decided to serve the chinese people for the rest of their lives. The largest group of chinese citizens is farmers. The neo-democratic revolution is an extensive popular revolution led by the communist party of china (cpc), and farmers are the main forces involved in the revolution. As a result, they have always regarded farmers as friends, and since their arrival in beijing, they have maintained a relationship of affection with farmers and campesino cadres of old origin. These naturally affect the daughter. From the day of primary school graduation, every summer, parents leave the yang gang to live in the countryside for a period of 10 days or more. The yang clan was not tall, but never afraid to work, eat and rest with the farmers. In her teens, it was extremely difficult to shake a bucket into a well and pull it up, but she thought she had to do it, so she learned not only to fetch water from the well but also to pick it up。
"i think the best people in the world are farmers."
Heavy and solid land is also giving warm and resilient strength to hard-earned farmers。
In 1966, parents were hit by the “change”, and the 16-year-old yang gang experienced unprecedented difficulties. At that time, she was empowered by her old rural life, and she was determined to return to the long march and rekindle the will of the revolution, like its predecessors. That winter, she walked from beijing to yanan. On the way, many farmers helped. “from then on, i thought the best people in the world were farmers. Because only farmers don't care about your origins, they naturally love and are close to all the children, and their pompous kindness makes you immortal.”
At the age of 19, the yangtze went to yunnan farm in response to a call from the intellectual youth “up to the hill”. The local production team farmers have made the best houses and made beds for young people living in the countryside. During the three and a half years of yunnan farm life, the yang gang demanded that it do whatever it takes, do whatever it takes, do what it takes, and do what it takes to be the most comprehensive. She learned to plough fields, dredge fields, plant plants, cut rice, fight piggrass, cook with large shovels in the canteens and bring children to the nursery。

In describing its close relationship with rural and peasant communities, the yangtze spoke of the fact that the countryside was never seen as an area, but rather as a land and a writer country. She said she drew a circle in the air with one hand and repeated the upward motion with the other hand. She said that many people felt that she was involved in a vast variety of areas, but in fact, the most viable land could grow anything, long-term social policy, pro bono charity and elders。
The man who sowed the seed
If the public good is compared to the land, then the yang gang is the seed sowinger。
As a result of rural research, the yangtze has been walking in the fields for many years, with most of the country's footprints, but when we asked which land she felt most deeply about, the yangtze did not hesitate to answer: yan'an。
In 2001, the yang gang went to yanan as a student of the chinese academy of social sciences to study at the central party school. Thirty-five years had passed between the first walk to janan and the second visit to janan, but she still had the impression that mount pata was standing on the edge of the yen river as if it were a revolutionary past, or as if it had been decades ago. The yangtze felt it was its duty to do something for yann. This became the driving force behind her continued efforts on the road to rural development. At that time, she had conducted a comprehensive survey of rural yanan, including economic and social welfare, and had found that it was common for farmers to be ill, expensive and poor。
A pilot often requires repeated study and follow-up
In 2002, the yangtze began piloting the first medical cooperative in the yyan lochon district, the latter being the lochon experiment. Since then, she has never left the countryside, nor has she left the peasants. It was often said that the yang gang had gone to the countryside again, and she replied: because the countryside was the widest and the most in need of attention。
At that time, the state issued a new form of cooperative medical documentation requiring $10 per farmer. However, the money was not used to deal with the small ills of farmers, but rather with major diseases, but because of the low probability of major diseases, farmers were reluctant to pay for their immediate interests. The yangtze is aware that policies must be implemented in accordance with the farmers ' position, listening to their voices and making policy improvements and adjustments in line with their real needs. To that end, she actively promoted farmers to participate in the discussions when making policy recommendations, encouraging them to assume social responsibility in addition to their own economic interests and promoting common wealth。
After numerous communications, farmers finally endorsed the small integrated programme proposed by the yangs. In cooperation with the village health centres, farmers pay the money to the village health centres, which set up community health services in the villages, and all paid farmers are entitled to a discount of less than 50 per cent of the market price. The service points also provide home-based services, consultations, free medical examinations, etc. Farmers are in favour of small integration, with a contribution rate of over 90 per cent。
However, community health services for the benefit of the population were far from sufficient to rely solely on farmers ' contributions, which were difficult for government finances to cover, and since then the yangtze has been deeply aware that the development of a rural cooperative economy is the solution to the problem of cooperative medical resources. This way out requires the self-organization of farmers and their own efforts to pool resources. In 2005, the yangtze launched the union of farmers' cooperative organizations' farming houses at the institute of sociology of the chinese academy of social sciences, which began to shift its focus to helping farmers to become cooperative economies. The seeds she had planted had also taken root, and her recommendations on health services in rural communities had subsequently been adopted by the state as it promoted medical reform。
In order to achieve the national strategy for the revitalization of villages proposed by the 19th congress of the party, the farming house has launched a 100-village project. In cooperation with the farmer's house, the koskhten party committee, in the city of achván, in nepal, responded positively by establishing the federation for integrated rural development cooperation in 2018. This communal cooperative group of farmers, with the help of the village group, has signed a trust agreement with the farmers for the socialization of the farming of more than 120,000 acres of land through the shed. By-products such as alcohol, beans and vegetables produced by farmers themselves are also collected and sold at supermarkets run by the federation. This has not only increased incomes for farmers, but has also resulted in stable income for the village groups of the coordinating farmers support federation. The yang gang stated that the east asian experience, which was drawn from the piloting of the sheds, has now surpassed that of east asia, not only in the integration of production services, supply and marketing services, credit services, but also in the socialization of agricultural scale, and in the integration of towns and villages, with a view to creating new performances in cooperative organizations in support of farmers. The good results achieved through the shantytowns have been recognized and encouraged by the ministry of agriculture and rural affairs and the red peak city council。
She was very pleased that the development of the shantytown was beyond the expectations of the yangtze regiment and hoped that it would produce better results and produce more fruitful results in the future。
From generation to generation
On the road to rural renewal, the yangtze has shown the way forward for many women, whose unique resilience and strength have brought comfort and courage to the yangtze。
Wu su-lan, who had been killed in a car accident in guangdong city, then defeated cancer with tenacity, became the “lead geese” who led her sisters to wealth. The women's sisters of the u-sulaan village and the surrounding village formed a strong group, bringing out their products for each other and introducing each other to the market, gradually forming a mature network buying circle. “this is the unique charm of a group of women, which is very cohesive and brings together to develop the economy and to serve children and the elderly in rural areas, as well as to perform social services”
The yangtze understands that peasant farming, rural and public charity is a business that needs to be carried over from one generation to the next, so she places great emphasis on the development of young people and that “revolutionary causes must have successors”. When she was in her 60s, she started thinking about training a successor to the farmhouse, and she often said to young people, “you will see the future i cannot see.” at the same time, she was aware that many young people were not deeply rooted in the land, so that they did not have enough strength to overcome the setbacks in the face of difficulties。
An assistant of the yangtze regiment, suh, in his 30s, was a journalist who had interviewed her. One day, suh found the yang gang and said he wanted to quit her job and follow her for charity. The yang gang took her to a pro bono organization, while preparing the chinese charitable development report (the blue book of charity), organizing a charity salon, encouraging her to continue her studies and supporting her in studying as a doctor, often exchanging ideas without borders. After four years of working together, both of them have long been forgotten, and seo's consciousness and abilities have been significantly enhanced。
Tang liang, who comes back from university to start a business in rural areas, is a growing family farm. He is a young man with the courage to insist and to think, and in practice he often encounters many problems. The yangs followed his growth with interest and, when connected to him, analysed his problems and offered him solutions. During the conversation, tang liang gained experience and methods, and the yang gang felt that it also received nutrients and insinuation。
Since 2012, the agricultural farmer's home has been exploring the talent development project for rural community workers (known as “rural workers”) aimed at developing practical skills in rural communities. Rural workers are natives and most of them graduate from junior high school. One of the female rural workers, hao, was an outstanding winner, led by the yang gang to grow up and is now the secretary of the east village branch of the golden shop in nechu county, hebei province. Since hao came to power, the development model of “village group + enterprise + farmer” has been explored in the light of local conditions. The village branch has led the formation of cooperatives, based on medium-modern farming groups working together with village enterprises, and farmers are entering the stock through land contracting. Thanks to a unique development model, for over a year, the average net revenue from village collective farms exceeded a thousand dollars and village collective income exceeded 300,000 yuan, moving beyond a viable path of rural renewal. The yangs have high hopes for her. The yangtze believes that these young people are the hope of rural development, and it is the wish of the yangtze, regardless of their level of education, to take them slowly into account and to support and help them grow。
The yang gang is 75 years old this year, and when it comes to old age, she has both the face and the skin, and the energy and energy of young people. As a result, she suffers from severe osteoporosis and falls at an advanced age, almost every year in recent years, she has failed to accept that she can work until she is 80 and 85 years old. She wants to spend more time with young people, to walk with them in the fields, to experience rural change in china in the land, to be a farmer-lover, to understand the countryside, to work for farmers and farmers。
