Improving people's lives through diligence, hard work


When it comes to work, all professions are equally honorable. Wang Dingye, a veteran farmer from northwest China's Gansu Province, knows this well. "The countryside is a wide stage, and rural vitalization has a promising future," said Wang.
Wang and his fellow villagers are busy preparing for the spring sowing of Chaotianjiao, a type of cone pepper. A couple of years ago, Wang established a farmer's specialized cooperative with the help of the local government. The business thrived, introducing standardized cultivation methods and a business mode that integrates production and selling.
According to Wang, in 2022, the cooperative generated a total income of about 8 million yuan ($1.2 million). "I will continue developing the business of local products and break new ground for rural vitalization," he said.
China's development cannot be accomplished without the efforts of hundreds of millions of working people. As the country celebrates the May Day holiday, people are holding activities to pay homage to them in different parts of the country.
In Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, a special ceremony was held at a park designed to promote public awareness of the Constitution. Workers who built the park were invited to the national flag-raising ceremony and given exclusive tours around the park.
"We hold such elaborate ceremonies for the park builders to express our respect for working people in a tangible manner, enabling the general public to feel the glory and value of work," said Wang Limin, spokesperson for the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Nanjing.
