China Net Finance, September 30 (Reporter Chang Shuaishuai) In the autumn, the Daxing'an Mountains in Inner Mongolia are full of layers of forests, and the "five-flowered forest" complements each other, such as turbulent waves and beautiful scenery. From the forest area to the south to the west, the forest gradually transitions to the grassland where cattle and sheep are flocked, and horses gallop freely.
With the progress of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's telecommunications universal service media research group, China Net Finance reporters ran 1,800 kilometers in 4 days, witnessing that with the joint efforts of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the three major operators, more people in remote areas have access to 4G networks. The joy of sharing the achievements of Internet development; also witnessed the vivid practice of telecom universal service attracting young people to go home and build their hometowns.

There are forests, but no successors
"In recent years, the forests have been getting better and better, there are more and more animals, but there are fewer and fewer people in the forest areas. "Zhou Yizhe, deputy to the National People's Congress and the leader of the seventh team of the North Bank Forest Farm of the Mangui Forestry Bureau in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has always wanted to improve the basic conditions of the forest area, so that the forest area can retain the beautiful scenery, tourists, and more. A generation of forest guardians.
"There are forests, but no successors." Qin Zhijiang, director of the Forestry Information Center of Inner Mongolia Forest Industry Group Co., Ltd., admitted that it is too difficult to attract young people to come back, and many people cannot adapt to the difficult conditions in the forest area.

forest area difficult? The key points are: stay away from cities, stay away from crowds, stay away from signals.
One person, one tower, one house, one telescope, one walkie-talkie, a large forest... The lookout in the Daxinganling forest area of Inner Mongolia was once called "one of the loneliest professions".

China Net Finance understands that due to the large functional area, small population, and insufficient investment in infrastructure, the Daxing'an Mountains in Inner Mongolia has been forested for a long time. The communication coverage rate of public network in the district is less than 10%. Most of the management stations, checkpoints and fire watch towers have no signal at all. The backward communication network signal has become the main factor restricting the emergency rescue and development and construction of forest areas, and it has become the main factor that young people born in the information age cannot "adapt" to. reason.
"We have also been here with two young people, but they were transferred after working for a while. The children may not be able to adapt to it." "Master" who has worked in Genhe Saji Gas Forest Farm in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia for nearly 30 years Jiao Quan mentioned that we only got online in July this year.
In fact, there are quite a few places in the forest area that have officially achieved Internet access this year. Qin Zhijiang introduced that 2022 is the final year of the forest area telecommunications universal service project. It is expected that 121 communication base stations will be installed in September. After the project is completed, forest farms, scenic spots, fire watch towers, important roads and key fire danger areas in the forest area will be installed. The coverage of the public network has increased from less than 10% at present to about 50%.
finally achieved full 4G network coverage in the Suhe Forest Farm of Inner Mongolia Aershan Forest Industry Company in early September. China Net Finance noticed two rows of newly built bungalows. Wang Zihai, Secretary of the Party Branch of Suhe Forest Farm, introduced that the forest farm is constantly improving its infrastructure. , to provide employees with a better working and living environment.
When China Net Finance asked, "Will you be more confident to attract some young people who understand technology to come back to work?" Wang Zihai said earnestly: "I am very much looking forward to college students and other young talents to come to work at the grassroots level like us, and now we do Some computer network work is really hard, and the future development of the forest area is really short of talents."
There is a "little sister" in Manglai Gacha
Just like the forest area of Daxing'an Mountains in Inner Mongolia, Hulunbuir grassland pastoral area is full of lush water and grass. The natural scenery is magnificent, but like the forest area, the pastoral area is sparsely populated and the location is remote, and the construction and maintenance of telecommunications are difficult.
"The distance between the nearest herdsmen's homes is also 20 to 30 kilometers." In the Manlai Gacha Village Committee of Xinbarhu Right Banner, Hulunbuir City, Party branch secretary Mijige Dorji told China.com.cn Introduction, Manglai Gacha is adjacent to the Krulen River in the north and the border line of Mongolia in the south.The total area of grassland is 603,400 mu.
The scattered living of herdsmen is a difficulty faced by telecom coverage, and it is also the significance and determination of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to promote universal telecom services, to open up the "last mile", so that herdsmen on the grassland can also freely surf the Internet, and let the high-quality original ecological products of the grassland go to the whole country Even the whole world is not only the wish of herdsmen, but also an indispensable part of the road to rural revitalization.

received the general project construction task of Manlai Gacha Telecom in the middle of winter. Zhao Wei, Director of Engineering and Construction Department of Hulunbuir City Mobile Company recalled that the grassland was covered with snow during construction, and the depth of When reaching the knee, it is difficult for the vehicle to drive. In order to complete the survey work, the survey and design personnel often crawl in the snow against the wind and snow.
"Actually, the most difficult part of the grasslands in winter is to identify the direction." Also in the middle of winter, in 2020, Saiyin Uqier of the New Barhuyou Banner Mobile Company carried more than 40 kilograms of equipment and spent his time on the kneeless ice and snow grassland. 4 hours and more than 5 kilometers to repair the base station. And such an experience is not uncommon for them who serve the grasslands.
With the joint efforts of all parties in the telecom universal service project, grassland herdsmen in Manlai Gacha and other places have gradually used 4G networks. Wu Xiaojun, director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of the New Barhu Right Banner, told China.com.cn that a total of 8 4G base stations will be constructed in Qili in 2021, of which 3 base stations are commercial power and 5 base stations are wind-solar hybrid power generation , involving a total of 7 administrative Village, covering a total of about 200 households; 17 4G base stations are planned to be implemented in 2022, and 2 sites have been opened. The smooth operation of the
network not only allows herders to make phone calls, access the Internet, and handle social security and other services without leaving their homes, but also attracts the return of young people.

In the Manlai Gacha Village Committee, China Net Finance saw a young lady in a sweater and a peaked cap on the phone to provide herdsmen with Government Services. After understanding, China Net Finance learned that the young lady is born in the 90s. She previously worked as a kindergarten teacher in New Barhu Right Banner , and returned to work after the establishment of the Manglai Gacha Village Committee in 2020.
"In the past, when there was no internet, we had to drive dozens of kilometers for some village committee business, go door-to-door to register on paper, and then go to the flag for processing. Now we can do it through mobile phones, which is very convenient. .” The staff of the Manglai Gacha Village Committee told China Net Finance.
It is worth noting that the New Barhu Right Banner is located at the junction of China, Russia and Mongolia, bordering Mongolia and Russia on the north, west and south sides, with a total area of 25,000 square kilometers and a border line of 515.4 kilometers. It is a typical example of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Frontiers, ethnic groups, animal husbandry areas and resource-based economic areas.
Wu Xiaojun said that since the launch of universal telecommunications services, information communication channels in remote and border areas have gradually opened up, and the yurt outposts and herdsmen sentries scattered on the vast Balhu grassland can get in touch with the higher authorities in a timely manner, consolidating the security and stability of northern Xinjiang.
