Why It Matters
The Pyongyang Collaboration began in 1996 with the then Deputy Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Commission, Xi Jinping as Chairman of the Ningxia Leadership Group. In 1997, fungal herb technology was listed as a Pyongyongyang Co-operative Project to Combat Oral Poverty and signed by Xi himself on the minutes of the joint session.
I sent Lin Zhanxi from "Mountains and Seas".
On November 19, 2021, at the third "Belt and Road" construction symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping recalled a past event more than 20 years ago.
The words reminded many people of the professor Ling Yinong in the TV series "Mountains and Seas" who rushed to Xihaigu, Ningxia, carrying Juncao seeds on his back.
The prototype of the professor in the play is Lin Zhanxi; the place where the story takes place is Minning Town, Ningxia. Minning, named after Fujian and Ningxia, was named by General Secretary Xi Jinping himself.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Minning cooperation. Over the past 30 years, Fujian has provided a total of 7.68 billion yuan in aid to Ningxia, and has cooperated with Ningxia to implement more than 4,100 projects, benefiting 2.44 million people.
Back in 1996, Fujian established a leading group for counterpart poverty alleviation in Ningxia, with Xi Jinping, then deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, as the leader. “Minning and Ningxia counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation is a political task, and we must resolutely complete it.”
In April 1997, the second joint meeting of Minning Counterpart Poverty Alleviation Cooperation listed Juncao technology as a Minning Counterpart Poverty Alleviation Cooperation Project, and Comrade Xi Jinping personally signed the minutes of the joint meeting.
The task was handed over to Lin Zhanxi, who immediately led an expert team of Juncao technology poverty alleviation experts to Pengyang County in Guyuan Prefecture, Ningxia to implement the Juncao technology poverty alleviation project, and became the "Mushroom Master" among the villagers.
Today, Juncao technology has spread beyond western China and has been promoted to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. In Papua New Guinea, it is called "Chinese grass"; in Africa, it is called "happy grass".
Lin Zhanxi's office is filled with to-do schedules - each trip is a story about a mushroom crossing mountains and seas. A small piece of grass connects China and the world. Behind this is a history of cooperation across mountains and seas, a history of progress in poverty alleviation, and a "happy road" that benefits the world.
