Celebrating 75 years of consultative democracy, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) continues to drive impactful changes across the nation. In Yinjiayuan, a village in Jiangsu Province, farmers are experiencing tangible benefits from these efforts. The cost of irrigating their land has decreased by 20%, and pump malfunctions have significantly dropped, thanks to innovative strategies introduced by local advisor Shi Weidong.
Shi, a distinguished member of the CPPCC National Committee and an expert in fluid machinery, formerly served as the president of Nantong University in Jiangsu. In 2023, he proposed the implementation of a \"digital twin\" platform. This virtual modeling technology aims to enhance the precision and efficiency of water pump management, aligning seamlessly with China's nationwide initiative to modernize water conservancy infrastructure.
That same year, the country embarked on constructing 23,000 new water supply facilities in rural areas, a move that underscores the CPPCC's role in fostering sustainable rural development. Shi’s forward-thinking recommendation not only supports local farmers but also exemplifies the CPPCC’s commitment to utilizing expert insights for national advancement.
The success in Yinjiayuan highlights the CPPCC’s vital function as a platform for in-depth consultations and collaborative problem-solving, reinforcing its status as a cornerstone of China’s political system.
