Xinhua News—The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university

graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease

the city's employment problems.

The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year,

to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas.

People interested in jobs in Beijing's rural villages and towns can send applications to Beijing

Municipal Bureau of Personnel or log on to from February 1 through March 15.

“We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural

villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, the Deputy Director of Beijing Personnel Bureau,

told Xinhua News Agency.

The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 Yuan in the first

year, 2,500 Yuan the second year and 3,000 the third year, provided their performance is up to

the required standards, Sun said.

Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first

graduates to find work in the city's countryside. After majoring in Industrial and Commercial

Administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban

Beijing's Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at Beijing Academy of

Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in

strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic

strawberries earlier this year.

Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year,

according to the figures provided by the Ministry of Education.

The ministry predicts that 4.95 million students will graduate from universities across the

country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs

when they graduate. In Beijing, a record of 200,000 people are expected to graduate from

university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to Beijing

Personnel Bureau.

Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm

in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and

even kept bees for honey.

And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).

The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell,

Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just

one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even

sweeter.

As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a

basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure

cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about

half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the

pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's

pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell

nearly knocked us out.
