Chen Yongkang (1907-1985) was a model worker, experimenting with high-yielding rice cultivation. His "mutual aid team" was set up in 1952 with seven rice farmers, gradually developing into a large cooperative. He was elected to the National People's Congress in 1954 and held many official functions since.
