Xie Ru's story is a shining example of female leadership in Chinese politics. She has grown from an ordinary family to the youngest vice governor of China, and behind this achievement there are countless struggles and challenges.
Her life trajectory is full of perseverance and self-transcendence, but how did those unknown hardships shape her? Now 55 years old, how will she continue to write a new chapter in her life after her career has reached another peak?
1. An ordinary starting point
Xie Ru was born in 1968 into an ordinary small-town working family. Despite their humble family conditions, her parents understood the power of education and believed that learning could change their daughter's destiny. In this family environment that values education, Xie Ru has shown outstanding learning ability and firm will since she was a child.
In 1977, with the reinstatement of the college entrance examination system in China, children from ordinary families such as Xie Ru were given the opportunity to change their social status. This policy change opened the door for her to the wider world. With the encouragement and expectation of her parents, Xie Ru put a lot of effort into preparing for the college entrance examination, hoping to open up a new path for her future through excellent results.
In 1986, Xie Ru took the college entrance examination, and with her own hard work and talent, she was admitted to the Department of Economics of Jiangxi University with excellent results. After entering the university, Xie Ru did not relax her requirements for herself. At that time, China's higher education was developing rapidly, and economics, as an emerging and important discipline, attracted a large number of aspiring young people.
During her four years of university study, Xie Ru not only systematically mastered the theoretical knowledge of economics, but also actively participated in various academic research and practical activities, and her performance won wide recognition from teachers and students.
The environment at Jiangxi University has cultivated Xie Ru's independent thinking and problem-solving skills, and she often participates in various lectures and seminars organized by the university to exchange ideas with teachers and students from different backgrounds. These experiences not only broadened her horizons, but also strengthened her confidence and ability to play a role on a bigger stage in the future.
After graduating from university, Xie Ru chose to work at the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences, based on her passion for economic research and concern for practical social issues. In her early years at the Academy of Social Sciences, she was responsible for projects related to local economic development, which gave her the opportunity to combine what she learned with practical problems for in-depth research and analysis.
Through an accurate grasp of economic data and a deep understanding of policy implications, Xie Ru has gradually built a reputation in the professional field.
Second, the dual growth of academic and career
Xie Ru's career at the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences began shortly after she graduated from university, at a time when China's reform and opening-up policies were in full swing, the country's economy and society were developing rapidly, and there was a growing demand for economists. Her onboarding provides her with an ideal platform to gain an in-depth understanding of and participate in the country's economic construction through practical work.
Her work focuses on economic policy research and local economic development analysis, which help governments better formulate and adjust economic policies. In her first few years at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Xie Ru presided over and participated in a number of important research projects, most of which were related to regional economic development and economic policy optimization.
Her work has been recognized by her leaders and colleagues, especially her professionalism and diligence in projects, which has quickly established a good reputation in academic circles. Through her work at the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences, Xie Ru has gradually demonstrated her deep ability in the field of economic research.
She has not only co-authored a number of high-impact policy recommendation reports, but also presented at several academic conferences and seminars to share her research results. These achievements have not only been recognized in the academic community, but also won her attention from the government department.
Earlier in her career, Xie Ru's academic achievements included the publication of her own monographs and several academic papers, and her research covered a wide range of areas, including rural economic reform, local economic development strategies, and their impact on social policy. Through these studies, she has provided important decision-making support to local and national governments, helping them better understand and respond to challenges in economic development.
Her academic work has also brought her more opportunities for career development. Due to her prominence in the field of economics, Xie Ru was recommended to participate in higher-level policy-making discussions, marking her transition from a purely academic researcher to a policymaker.
This transition was an important milestone in her career and laid a solid foundation for her later entry into politics. With the passage of time, Xie Ru's position in the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences was gradually promoted, and finally reached a senior title. Her influence at the hospital continued to grow, and she was often called upon to advise government departments on economic policy.
Through this work, she has gained valuable experience and built up an extensive professional network, which has supported her in her subsequent career transition.
Third, the first test of the political arena
In 1999, Xie Ru's career ushered in an important node. Detached from the academic atmosphere of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, she was assigned to Fuliang County and shouldered the heavy responsibility of deputy county magistrate. This transfer is not only a leap in position, but also a fundamental change in the nature of work.
In the region, Xie Ru's role focuses on promoting local economic development and solving rural problems. In stark contrast to her previous work in the laboratory, she now has to deal directly with rural people, listen to their voices and understand their needs. This is a severe test of Xie Ru's communication skills and practical wisdom.
During her tenure, Xie Ru went to the grassroots level, visited rural households, and experienced rural life firsthand. She has promoted the implementation of a series of policies to benefit the people, such as improving rural infrastructure, improving the quality of agricultural products, and broadening channels for farmers to increase their income. This experience not only enriched her resume, but also gave her a deeper understanding of China's rural development.
Xie Ru's work in Fuliang County is very practical and effective, she has promoted the adjustment of the local agricultural structure and supported the innovation and application of agricultural technology to improve agricultural production efficiency and farmers' income levels.
In addition, she is committed to improving infrastructure, such as road construction and water conservancy projects, which greatly contribute to the local economic development and the quality of life of residents.
During her tenure, Xie Ru paid special attention to the development of public services such as education and health, and she promoted the construction and upgrading of several schools to ensure that rural children could receive education in a better environment. In the field of health, she has worked to improve the availability of rural health facilities and the capacity of medical personnel to improve medical conditions in rural areas.
Through her work in Fuliang County, Xie Ru's leadership skills and ability to solve practical problems have been fully demonstrated. Her work has not only been recognized by local residents, but has also gained valuable experience for her further development in the political world.
During her years at the grassroots level, Xie Ru gained an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing rural China, and these experiences had a profound impact on her subsequent policy formulation and implementation.
Fourth, behind the rapid promotion
In the history of the development of Jiangxi Province, 2008 is a year worth remembering. That year, at the age of 39, Xie Ru was appointed vice governor, becoming one of the youngest female vice-ministerial-level officials in China at the time. This appointment coincides with China's vigorous promotion of a younger and more professional cadre team, and has injected new vitality into the development of Jiangxi Province.
Xie Ru's political career did not happen overnight. She had extensive academic and administrative experience before becoming Lieutenant Governor. In 2007, she briefly served as the president of the Jiangxi Institute of Socialism, which laid a solid foundation for her subsequent work.
As vice governor, Xie Ru's work spans a wide range of areas. In terms of economy, she proposed the "green rise" strategy, promoted the development and construction of Ganjiang New Area, and participated in the planning of Yingtan National Electronic Information Industry Base. These measures have pointed out the direction for Jiangxi's industrial upgrading and economic transformation.
Education is another focus of Xie Ru's work. She implemented the plan of "strengthening the province through education", increased investment in schools in old revolutionary areas, and implemented the "mechanism for guaranteeing the treatment of rural teachers". Under her promotion, universities in Jiangxi Province have established counterpart cooperative relations with universities of the "985 Project" to improve the level of higher education in Jiangxi.
In terms of cultural construction, Xie Ru supported the concept of "a strong cultural province". She promoted the development of red tourism resources such as Lushan Mountain and Jinggangshan Mountain, and supported the construction of Hakka cultural and ecological reserves in southern Gansu. These measures not only protect Jiangxi's cultural heritage, but also open up new avenues for economic development.
In the field of public health, Xie Ru has implemented the reform of "integration of urban and rural medical services" to improve the level of primary medical services. She also participated in the improvement of the prevention and control system of major infectious diseases in Jiangxi Province, and contributed to the improvement of the public health level of the province.
Fifth, continue to learn and face the future
After ten years as vice governor of Jiangxi Province, Xie Ru's career has not stopped. With her extensive experience and professional competence, she continues to take over as Vice Chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This position has allowed her to influence the formulation and implementation of provincial policies more broadly, particularly in promoting social and cultural projects.
In her role as Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Xie Ru was actively involved in the discussion and decision-making process on a number of important social and economic issues in Jiangxi Province. Drawing on her deep background in economics and management, she has provided important advice to provincial governments on economic development strategies, educational innovation, and cultural preservation.
She paid particular attention to improving living standards and educational resources in rural areas, and continued to promote some of the important projects that had been initiated during the previous tenure of the Vice-Governor. In addition to working in the CPPCC, Xie Ru did not stop personal learning and improvement. She believes that continuous learning is the key to adapting to a rapidly changing social environment.
Even after reaching the peak of her career, she insisted on keeping her competitive by constantly learning. During this period, Xie Ru even attended a training course at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in the United States, focusing on improving her ability to formulate policies and public administration from an international perspective.
These experiences have not only strengthened Xie's leadership skills, but also expanded her professional network, allowing her to act as a bridge in policymaking both domestically and internationally. Through exchanges and cooperation with international experts, Xie Ru is able to introduce more advanced ideas and technologies to promote development and innovation in the region.
In addition, during his tenure as vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xie Ru also worked to promote and protect Jiangxi's cultural heritage. She believes that culture is a bridge between history and modernity, local and global, and that through the protection and inheritance of culture, the cultural self-confidence and cohesion of society can be enhanced.
She has supported a number of cultural projects and activities, such as the preservation of intangible cultural heritage and the revival of traditional handicrafts, which have strengthened Jiangxi's position in cultural exchanges at home and abroad. Today, even at the age of 55, Xie Ru is still active in her field of work and continues to contribute to the progress and development of society through her professional knowledge and rich experience.
Her career has shown that through continuous learning and practice, it is possible to continue to grow and impact, even in a high-pressure and challenging environment. Xie Ru's career has been an inspiration and motivation for those who are committed to public service and social development.
