(260610) -- ZHENGZHOU, June 10, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Liu Xuejing helps a farmer air wheat in Liuzhai Village of Taikang County, central China's Henan Province, June 3, 2026.

In 2025, Henan Province hired 5,000 university graduates as rural revitalization assistants. Liu Xuejing, born in 2001, was one of them.

Rural revitalization assistants help consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively link the effort with rural revitalization. They are also involved in rural construction and grassroots governance.

During this year's harvest season, Liu joined the harvest team in wheat fields, helping farmers arrange wheat grains and recording harvest progress across different plots. On household visits with village officials, she learned about crop yields, grain prices, and other concerns from villagers.

"Coming back to my hometown to work and taking part in rural revitalization makes me proud," she said.

Henan plans to recruit 10,000 more assistants in 2026, with clarified future training pathways and treatment guarantees, according to a recent notice. (Xinhua/Li Jianan)
