现今大学生村官们的生活

大学生村官是指到农村（含社区）担任村党支部书记、村委会主任助理或其他村“两委”职务的具有大专以上学历的应届或往届大学毕业生。

Wang Ying was among the 313 college graduates employed by Changxing County of east China's Zhejiang Province since 2006. She is now a village official in Gangkou Village.

Recently, Wang Ying was awarded the "Agricultural Pacemaker" prize of Zhejiang Province. The prize was given to her because she took villagers to a new level in modern agricultural development.

However, Wang Ying says she had a tough time when she first came here.

"Our village was mainly based on traditional farming. Villagers had little knowledge about modern agriculture. Almost no one wanted to contract the farming land when the new land system was adopted in 2008. I thought it was my responsibility to change the situation."

That was no easy job. Most villagers did not trust her at the beginning because she was a college graduate with no experience in agriculture.

Wang Ying came up with the idea that village officials take the lead to contract part of the farming land. And Wang Ying borrowed 20,000 yuan from her parents to take part in the investment.

Her plan worked. Villagers soon contracted the remaining farming land to follow their village officials. They began to set up a vegetable production base and have earned a total of more than 2 million yuan after a year's hard work.

As a result, Wang Ying has won the approval and trust from the villagers. Sun Genfa, one of the local officials, says he is thankful to Wang Ying.

"Villagers of Gangkou Village knew nothing about modern agriculture until Wang Ying came here. Thanks to her, we have made such achievements."

When asked about plans for the future, Wang Ying says.

"I will stay here. I have the confidence to make life better for the villagers."

Many college-graduate village officials, like Wang Ying , are contributing greatly to the development China's rural areas. And they are expected to accomplish more in the future.
