Realizing Chinese-style modernization is inseparable from the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.
On the morning of June 8, 2022, Xi Jinping visited the high-standard rice planting base in Yongfeng Village, Taihe Town, Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, to learn about the experimental breeding and planting promotion of rice. Xi Jinping emphasized: To promote agricultural modernization, we must rely on both agricultural experts and farmers. We must strengthen the promotion and application of modern agricultural science and technology and technical training, organize large grain growers, and actively develop green agriculture, ecological agriculture, and efficient agriculture. We have the confidence and the confidence to firmly hold the Chinese people's rice bowl in our own hands.
In 2013, when the high-standard farmland in Yongfeng Village was just completed, a scientific research team from Sichuan Agricultural University came here to take root in the fields, conduct experiments on new rice varieties and technologies, screen excellent varieties, and promote cultivation techniques.
On September 10, 2024, Ma Jun, an agricultural expert and professor at Sichuan Agricultural University, felt the degree of drying of rice by biting it in the Rice Technology Courtyard of Yongfeng Village.
In 2014, Ma Jun led students to communicate with local agricultural technicians in Yongfeng Village.
In 2016, Ma Jun guided students in the fields of Yongfeng Village.
On July 26, 2024, students from Sichuan Agricultural University who had been stationed in the high-standard farmland in Yongfeng Village for a long time observed the growth of rice in the fields.

On August 28, 2023, a harvester harvested rice in the high-standard farmland of Yongfeng Village. Over the past decade, the scientific research team has selected 29 high-yield, high-quality, and mechanized varieties suitable for local cultivation from more than 500 excellent varieties from inside and outside the province and applied them on a large scale in Meishan.
On August 28, 2023, agricultural machinery harvested rice in the high-standard farmland of Yongfeng Village. The promotion and application of new varieties and technologies have brought about a substantial increase in rice production every year. In 2023, the average yield per mu in Yongfeng Village reached 770 kilograms.
On August 22, 2024, a harvester harvested rice in the high-standard farmland of Yongfeng Village. The team predicts that the average yield per mu of the high-standard farmland in Yongfeng Village will be close to 800 kilograms in 2024.
On July 26, 2024, a high-speed train sped past the viaduct above the high-standard farmland in Yongfeng Village. In the past, many farmlands in Yongfeng Village were "palm-sized fields" and "chicken claw fields". Now, the fragmented and scattered cultivated land has become high-standard farmland with "square fields, shaped soil, network of canals, interconnected roads and connected ditches", and the contiguous farmland has achieved full mechanized planting.
A prosperous harvest every year is the most sincere wish of hundreds of millions of Chinese farmers. In the high-standard farmland of Yongfeng Village, a new picture of agricultural and rural modernization is being drawn.
