China News Service, Fuzhou, October 2 (Zheng Jiangluo) Recently, a ceremony to release the advanced deeds of the "Fujian Model" group of science and technology commissioners from Fujian Province was held in Fuzhou. Over the years, Fujian science and technology commissioners have left the laboratory, taken root in the fields and countryside, and written papers on the land of Fujian, continuously transforming scientific research and technological achievements into practical results for enriching the people and promoting agriculture.
Wu Jingcai, known as the "Technology Commissioner No. 1," still has an unforgettable memory of the winter of 1998. He had just returned from studying abroad and was sent to Xihou Village, Wangtai Town, Nanping City to provide agricultural science and technology services. Faced with the gap from the constant-temperature laboratory to the fields, he went to the fields with farmers during the day and helped them solve various problems. In the evening, professional skills are taught in the village meeting room.
Wu Jingcai said, "'No. 1' represents more responsibility, which means that we must find a way." Today, Xihou Village adopts the "flower-rice rotation" model, planting more than 1,000 acres of lilies, with an annual output value of 50 million yuan, becoming the "magic weapon" for local wealth.
According to statistics, as of August 2026, the province has selected more than 90,000 individual science and technology correspondents at all levels, nearly 8,500 team science and technology correspondents, and nearly 1,500 legal person science and technology correspondents. There are more than 10,000 science and technology correspondents at all levels who regularly provide services on the front line. The province's science and technology commissioners have implemented more than 17,000 science and technology development projects with a total investment of more than 30 billion yuan, promoted new technologies, new products, new processes, and new devices more than 68,000 times, introduced more than 24,000 new varieties, founded nearly 7,000 enterprises and professional cooperatives, and influenced more than 2.14 million farmers.
"I have a dream that through hard work, Aesculus aesculata, a rare and precious medicinal material, can truly become a flower of wealth for farmers." said Su Hailan, a senior agronomist at the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
To realize this dream, Su Hailan stayed in Guangze Mountain for ten years. She traveled deep into the mountains, entered old forests, and traveled almost all over the mountains in Fujian. She finally overcame the technical difficulties of artificial breeding of Aesculus aesculata - the emergence time was shortened from 2 years to 6 months, and the emergence rate increased from 5% to 86.5%.
In July this year, Fujian selected the technology innovation team studio of science and technology commissioners for the first time, and the Linxia Chinese Medicinal Materials Technology Innovation Team Studio led by Su Hailan was selected. The studio integrates 56 experts from different disciplines, and its service scope has expanded from the mountainous areas of Fujian to Jinggangshan, Jiangxi. The two places have promoted nearly 300,000 acres of understory Chinese medicinal materials, driving an increase of more than 3 billion yuan in income for more than 20,000 farmers.
Not only deeply plowing the land of Fujian. The Juncao technology invented by Lin Zhanxi, a senior science and technology correspondent, has been promoted to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. In September this year, Liancheng County Juncao Science and Technology Commissioner Workstation was established, and technical research and demonstration promotion are still continuing.
Lin Zhanxi said that Juncao technology was "born for poverty alleviation and must serve poverty alleviation." The emergence of a technology from the laboratory is only the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. Only when it is brought to the place where it is needed most and given to the people who need it most can the real value be realized.
