Special Report:   17th CPC National Congress

At the ongoing CPC National Congress, delegates from different parts of the country are discussing issues concerning people's well-being, including agriculture, medical service and education.

Two chestnuts, big and small.

This delegate hopes to illustrate that technology workers take on heavy responsibilities to build new countryside and help farmers develop.

Congress delegate Zhan Yisheng said, "Technology changes their destiny."

Eight years ago, senior engineer Zhan Yisheng started dedicating himself to improving agriculture in mountainous areas of eastern Fujian province.

His new technology has given three villages in the province the title of "Home of Chestnuts".

A Fujian farmer said, "I planted 600 chestnut trees. I tried Zhan Yisheng's new technology, and I can make 1000 US dollars more a year."

Here at the party congress, Zhan once again stresses the building of new countryside.

He hopes that more talented people can join farmers to improve their agricultural technology.

Delegate Zhang Yisheng said, "New socialist countryside can be built if farmers have access to new technology."
