Digital Villages: The "Digital Interface" Between Youth and Rural Revitalization
Hello, everyone!
Today, I’d like to talk to you about a "digital code" that is transforming rural China—the development of digital villages. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that digital villages represent a strategic direction for rural revitalization, serving as a key driver to harness the opportunities of digitization, networking, and smart technology to advance the modernization of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. As university students and postgraduates of the new era, we are not only "digital natives" but also should become "builders" of digital villages.
I. Digital Villages: The "New Engine" of Rural Revitalization
Digital villages are not just about "farming with smartphones" or "selling goods via livestreams." Rather, they represent a systemic transformation that uses data as a bridge to redefine agricultural productivity, reshape rural governance, and reinvent the way farmers live.
In industry, smartphones now manage vast fields, IoT enables greenhouses to "think," and Beidou navigation ensures "zero-error" precision in farm machinery operations—turning traditional "weather-dependent farming" into "weather-informed cultivation."
In governance, villagers in Changxing, Zhejiang, complete medical insurance updates in five minutes at a government service kiosk, while Anhui’s "one-stop digital village network" eliminates the need for in-person visits to provincial offices, narrowing the gap between urban and rural services.
In daily life, digital village officials in Sichuan’s Cangxi County use livestreams to send their emerald pears nationwide, 300,000 village-level delivery stations link "farm to table" supply chains, and new professions like "smart farmers," "agri-entrepreneurs," and "rural operation specialists" are flourishing.
Behind these changes lie a robust technological foundation—5G coverage in 90% of administrative villages and 322 million rural internet users—supported by policies like the Digital Village Construction Guidelines 1.0 and 2.0, all driven by the mission to "let farmers share in the dividends of digitization."
II. Youth: The "Key Variable" in Digital Villages
The "digital arteries" of rural China are now in place, but the "last mile" of innovation and application awaits our generation to take the baton.
We can be:
"Tech Enablers": Applying AI, big data, and IoT to refine smart farming algorithms and develop rural governance apps, ensuring data "runs accurately and creates value."
"Pioneers of New Models": Using digital skills like short videos, livestreaming, and community management to unlock the potential of rural culture, tourism, and intangible heritage, turning "local specialties" into "internet sensations."
"Governance Innovators": Leveraging digital thinking to enhance public services—designing "rural digital archives" or "remote tutoring platforms for left-behind children"—to make technology more humane.
III. From "Digital Divide" to "Digital Prosperity"
By 2035, China aims to "significantly narrow the urban-rural digital divide" and "markedly elevate farmers’ digital literacy." This is not just a technological goal but a people-centered development promise.
Digital villages are not about "transplanting urban tech to rural areas" but about "expressing rural needs digitally." It requires us to listen deeply—to elders needing simpler interfaces, farmers craving precise market data, and villages demanding equitable public services. Every line of code we write, every innovation we pioneer, could become a "digital key" to transforming rural futures.
In closing, let me share General Secretary Xi’s words as our mutual inspiration: "Make agriculture a promising industry, farming an attractive vocation, and rural areas beautiful homelands where people thrive." The blueprint for digital villages is drawn—and we are the "digital artists" of this vision. May we, the youth, harness digital innovation to inscribe our generation’s answer at the "digital interface" of rural revitalization!
Thank you!
数字乡村：青年与乡村振兴的“数字接口”
同学们好！
今天，我想和大家聊聊一个正在改变中国乡村的“数字密码”——数字乡村建设。习近平总书记指出，数字乡村是乡村振兴的战略方向，是把握数字化、网络化、智能化机遇，推动农业、农村、农民现代化的关键抓手。作为新时代的大学生和研究生，我们既是数字技术的“原住民”，更应成为数字乡村的“建设者”。
一、数字乡村：乡村振兴的“新引擎”
数字乡村不是简单的“手机种田”“直播卖货”，而是以数据为纽带，重构农业生产力、重塑乡村治理模式、重构农民生活方式的系统性变革。
看产业，一部手机管理千亩农田，物联网让温室大棚“会思考”，北斗导航让农机作业“零误差”，智慧农业让“靠天吃饭”变为“知天而作”；看治理，浙江长兴的村民在村口政务一体机上5分钟办完医保变更，安徽的“数字乡村一张网”让省级事项“跑零次”，城乡服务从“有差别”走向“无差别”；看生活，四川苍溪的数字村官用直播让翠冠梨“飞”向全国，30万个村级寄递站串起“田间到餐桌”的产业链，新农人、农创客、乡村运营师等新职业蓬勃兴起。
这些变化背后，是90%行政村通5G、3.22亿农村网民的技术底座，是《数字乡村建设指南》1.0、2.0的政策支撑，更是“让农民共享数字红利”的初心。
二、青年：数字乡村的“关键变量”
同学们，数字乡村的“数字大动脉”已打通，但“最后一公里”的创新与应用，正等待我们这一代人接力。
我们可以是“技术赋能者”：用所学的人工智能、大数据、物联网技术，优化智慧农业算法，开发乡村治理APP，让数据“跑得准、跑出价值”；可以是“新业态创造者”：用短视频、直播、社群运营等数字技能，挖掘乡村文创、乡村旅游、非遗传承的“数字IP”，让“土特产”变成“网红爆款”；更可以是“治理创新者”：用数字思维优化乡村公共服务，比如设计“乡村数字档案库”，开发“留守儿童远程辅导平台”，让技术更有温度。
三、从“数字鸿沟”到“数字共富”
到2035年，我国要实现“城乡数字鸿沟大幅缩小，农民数字化素养显著提升”。这不仅是技术的目标，更是“以人民为中心”的发展承诺。
同学们，数字乡村不是“城市技术的乡村移植”，而是“乡村需求的数字表达”。它需要我们俯下身，倾听农民的真实需求：老人需要更简单的操作界面，农户需要更精准的市场信息，乡村需要更公平的公共服务。我们的每一行代码、每一次创新，都可能成为改变乡村命运的“数字钥匙”。
最后，我想用习近平总书记的话与大家共勉：“让农业成为有奔头的产业，让农民成为有吸引力的职业，让农村成为安居乐业的美丽家园。”数字乡村的蓝图已绘就，而我们，正是这幅蓝图的“数字画师”。愿我们以青春之我，创数字之新，在乡村振兴的“数字接口”上，写下属于这一代青年的答案！
谢谢大家！
