What can I do?, Mount Huangshan organized a group of college students to practice in the village
July 13 is the 13th day of Liu Lian's summer vacation at the age of 20, and the first day of her go home to work. Liu Lian is a sophomore majoring in asset evaluation at Anhui Jianzhu University. From that day on, she has a new identity as part-time deputy secretary of the Youth League Branch of Baishan Community, Yanghu Town, Tunxi District, Mount Huangshan City, Anhui Province. This is a new measure launched by Mount Huangshan City - recruiting college students to serve as grassroots league leaders. Since 2021, Mount Huangshan has begun to build a brand of summer internship activities for young students of "swallow homing". At first, a group of college students were recruited to return to their hometowns for summer internships in enterprises, lasting about a month. Last year, "Family Swallows Returning Home" added the content of government internships. At that time, Mount Huangshan City selected for the first time a group of Mount Huangshan students or full-time college students in Mount Huangshan to serve as the deputy secretary of the League organization in local towns and villages, and the part-time job lasted for one year. According to the requirements, this group of students not only need to work full-time at the corresponding units during winter and summer vacations, but also need to strengthen contact with part-time units during their return to school. Their main work focuses on rural grassroots governance and rural revitalization. What can college students do to intern in the village? Sun Jie, deputy secretary of Mount Huangshan Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Youth League, told reporters that they had set the working goals of "Ten Ones" for part-time deputy secretaries, including carrying out a party history education and publicity, organizing and planning a theme group day activity, planning and implementing a youth culture and sports activity. Sun Jie expressed the hope that through these specific activities, students can clarify the direction of practice and utilize their talents from it. In Sun Jie's view, the original intention of carrying out this activity is to promote the "two-way travel" between rural areas and young people. Sun Jie has worked in rural areas for a long time and is well aware that grassroots work is not easy, and she always lacks manpower in her daily life. In her opinion, on the one hand, the countryside needs young people. "Many rural areas now lack youthful vitality, and young people have ideas and enthusiasm. Whether it is social governance or rural revitalization, they cannot do without the injection of young ideas," said Sun Jie. On the other hand, young people also need rural areas. They need to get to know and understand rural areas more, learn to sort out their thoughts and accumulate experience in complex work, which is also a way to exercise their abilities. From last year's situation, the effect was quite good. "It completely exceeded our expectations," said Sun Jie. Their initial plan was to provide about 200 positions, but the number of applicants far exceeded this number. Later, they increased positions through negotiations with various villages, communities, etc., while narrowing the scope to sophomore and junior students, and finally matched about 480 people to participate. The reporter asked Sun Jie, would she be worried that her classmates may not be familiar with the situation and going to the grassroots level may only cause trouble? Sun Jie shook her head with a smile and tried to use data to support her point of view: "When we first proposed this idea last year, everyone was watching and thinking it was unreliable. This year is different, and grassroots recognition and enthusiasm are very high. Even some remote rural areas have signed up, and we have sorted out a total of 338 positions." Chen Zhenqian, who is about to be promoted to third year, was a participant from last year. He studied at the School of Management at Fudan University and once served as the part-time deputy secretary of the Yanpu Village Youth League Branch in Haiyang Town, Xiuning Cou
