Xu Ling, 35, is the secretary of the General Party Branch of Lugou Community, Huanghuatang Town, Xuyi County, Huai'an City. She was the first female helmsman of the Chinese navy and the first female helmsman of the Liaoning ship before she retired from the army.
From the "first female helmsman" to the "rural female secretary", Xu Ling's identity has changed, but her original intention of serving the people has never changed. As the newly-elected deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, Xu Ling did not forget to promote agricultural products processed by villagers at the meeting.

This is our local lobster rice and this is our local Yushan black tea, which is two distinctive agricultural products. However, due to the COVID-19 epidemic in recent years and many other factors, many of our agricultural products are not sold well.
Before attending the annual session the Provincial People's Congress, Xu Ling conducted in-depth research, focusing on lobster and rice co-cultivation and e-commerce logistics base.

We are facing a shortage of talents. At present, we mainly lack talents who understand the operation of rural e-commerce. We hope that the government can introduce more policies to attract more local talents, especially young people.
