Recently, the Top 100 list for the 2024 Zhejiang Rural Revitalization Shared Prosperity Youth Pioneer “Qingniu Award” was announced, with one outstanding youth from our district, Zhang Yicheng, making the cut. To further leverage the exemplary leadership role of these young pioneers and rally a broad range of youth, including returnee college students, to actively participate in rural revitalization, on August 7th, Zhang Yicheng delivered a talk themed around “Unifying the Strength of Youth to Meet the Opportunities and Challenges in the Tea Industry.” He observed and summarized predictions for the development trends of China's tea industry from various angles, including growth in market demand, changes in consumption habits, the rise of new tea beverages, opportunities presented by the Belt and Road Initiative, smart tea industry development, as well as challenges and shortcomings, encouraging everyone to actively contribute to rural revitalization.
Following this, Zhang Yicheng taught a class on the handcrafted production techniques of West Lake Longjing tea, carefully explaining and demonstrating to college students learning these skills. The youths made friends over tea, listened attentively, and learned together, collectively experiencing the unique charm of the handcrafted production techniques of West Lake Longjing tea.
