On December 18, 2020, a Chinese agricultural expert team set off for Burkina Faso to carry out a new round of agricultural technical assistance there.
The team is headed by 55-year-old Liang Xiaoping, a senior engineer specialized in water conservancy planning, design, construction and management. Liang had worked in the office of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project of Tianmen Municipal Water Conservancy and Lake Bureau in central China’s Hubei Province.
This is Liang’s sixth trip to Africa. With a deep commitment to supporting Africa’s development, he took on the responsibility to lead the aid team to Burkina Faso despite the travel difficulties caused by the COVID19 pandemic. “I am very pleased to be able to help African friends through my skills,” Liang said.
Valuable support
There are altogether five experts on the team, including two water conservancy experts, one rice expert, and two agricultural machinery experts. After arriving in Burkina Faso, they strictly abided by the local epidemic prevention regulations.

Should We Stop The Trend of ‘Feminization'?
In traditional Chinese thinking, women are supposed to be gentle and soft and men masculine. In recent years, however, the popularity of young male film and TV stars who appear to be “feminine” in their dressing, hair style and even mindset and their impact on the youth has led some to believe that the Chinese boys are not “masculine” enough.
