LI Liancheng, Han ethnicity, is a member of the Communist Party of China (CPC). From March 2008 to June 2010, he studied Rural Administrative Management at the Rural Revitalisation College, Henan Branch of the Open University of China (OUC), under the Ministry of Education's "One College Student Per Village" programme. He currently serves as Secretary of the Party Branch of Xixinzhuang Village, Puyang County, Henan Province. He has been elected as a deputy to the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th National People's Congress (NPC). His honours include National Outstanding CPC Member, National Model Worker, and National Moral Role Model Nomination Award.

Take a walk through Xixinzhuang today, and you'll see a community in motion. Better houses line the streets. Green belts have been freshly renovated. The village air conditioning factory now hums with two new intelligent production lines. Peanut processing operations have expanded, and greenhouses burst with thriving fruit tomatoes. The local hospital has acquired new equipment, and by October this year, the village's water, electricity, gas, and internet networks will be completely upgraded.

Over more than two decades as an NPC deputy, LI has treated farmland as his research site and villagers' pressing concerns as the direction for his suggestions. Every suggestion stems from Xixinzhuang's practices; every voice he raised adds strength to rural revitalisation.

To thoroughly understand public demands, LI has kept up a busy pace over the past year, conducting field research and visiting dozens of villages. "As an NPC deputy, I cannot only think about my own village.", he said. Though Xixinzhuang Village has been a well-known demonstration village for rural revitalisation, LI believes his responsibility is to look at issues from a national perspective.

At this year's Two Sessions, LI proposed improving rural sewage pipeline networks and garbage collection and transfer infrastructure to promote the construction of liveable, business-friendly, and beautiful villages. "Nowadays, many villages still lack sewers. When it rains, the streets flood," LI said. In his view, infrastructure shortcomings are "pits that must be filled" on the road to rural revitalisation.
