In rural revitalization, talents come first. This year's No. 1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to strengthen the team of rural talents, and through policy support, entrepreneurship guidance, financial incentives and other measures to form a talent agglomeration effect in which foreign youth return home and local youth rejuvenate their villages, so as to promote the return of talents.

In Guangdong, the "hot land" that once raised returnees is turning into a "fertile land" for returning home to start businesses. The young people in the village are back, rural revitalization has new power, and a "two-way rush" between the countryside and young people is slowly unfolding in the fields.
