This vast expanse of rural areas contains boundless vitality and hope.
As the curtain of rural revitalization is slowly opened, more and more people have dreams of joining it. Among them, there are many aspiring young people who actively choose to return to their hometowns to start a business and find employment, which has become a beautiful scenery on the road to promote rural revitalization.
Populus euphratica: a post-95 girl who returns home to pick mushrooms
Hu Yang’s hometown is in Yichun at the foot of Xiaoxing’an Mountains. Like many villages in the Northeast, most young people go to live in cities.
In Hu Yang's own words: "Go for a walk around the town, even the post-80s generations rarely see it. Everyone left after college."
But Populus remained.
After graduating in 2019, Hu Yang returned to his hometown.
She did not miss the prosperity of the big city, on the contrary she prefers the simplicity and nature of the countryside.
It is understood that in the village of more than 200 families, Populus euphratica is the only post-95 generation who stays at home.
For this reason, Hu Yang also caused a misunderstanding among the villagers, thinking that she had nothing to do at home, she would just wander around all day long, and she was very unpromising.
In fact, Hu Yang has his own plan.
The hometown has beautiful mountains and waters and rich products. The people here have lived a self-sufficient life for generations. Few people thought of extending their hometown to the outside world.
For this reason, Hu Yang chose to be an e-commerce company based on the actual situation in his hometown. By shooting short videos, he promoted his hometown and promoted the properties of his hometown.
Many people are attracted by the quiet country life captured by her mobile phone. After a period of hard work, Hu Yang's short video account has nearly a million fans.
With the help of a short video live broadcast platform, she founded her own brand and successfully sold agricultural products such as mushrooms and fungus from her hometown.
The next step for Populus euphratica is to expand the variety of commodities, jump out of the acquaintance society in the village, and develop more agricultural and sideline products.
From a college graduate to a girl picking mushrooms, the Populus in the video turned around successfully.
In her eyes, there are treasures everywhere in her hometown, waiting for people to develop in the mountains.
Hu Yang said that when the industry expands in the future, more people will be hired to screen and pack so that the villagers can enjoy the benefits of the Internet and become rich together.
Zhou Science: a leader who returns to his hometown to start a business
Nowadays, more and more young people are returning to their hometowns from big cities to start businesses.
Young people in the village give vitality, and they are an indispensable force on the way to drive the prosperity of the hometown to a well-off society.
Zhou Science is also one of many young entrepreneurs who have returned to their hometowns, but the road to entrepreneurship is not all smooth sailing.
In 2013, Zhou Xuexue, who had been running around in Guangzhou, returned to his hometown of Pingjiang County. He was interested in the culture and crafts of his hometown. After some inspection, Zhou Science and Technology developed the Guyuyan tea brand and devoted himself to the development of local specialty products.
However, due to lack of experience, his Gu Yu Yancha project was interrupted for a while, which made Zhou Science unable to do anything about it.
At a critical juncture, Zhou Science's project encountered a turning point.
It was March of 2019. Zhou Science and Technology participated in the Country Garden’s “Young entrepreneurs 100,000+” returning to the hometown rooted entrepreneurial youth Tsinghua seminar. The rich brings poor skills, which has helped many young people a lot.
Zhou Science also gained tremendous gains from it.
He not only learned the entrepreneurial skills, but also obtained the 500,000 debt investment provided by Country Garden, so that the former Gu Yuyan Tea project was brought back to life and continued to operate.
By mid-September this year, the output value of Hunan Ancient Tea Culture Development Co., Ltd., which produces Guyuyan tea, has exceeded 7 million yuan.
Zhou Science and Technology said that the company’s own and radiated tea gardens cover more than 2,000 acres, helping 1,140 people increase their income.
Zheng Chihe: From a poor household to a professional pig farmer
In Zhaojue, Sichuan, 1,500 kilometers away from Pingjiang, there is also a post-95s young man who is leading the people of his hometown to Zhifu Road.
Before the age of 18, Zheng Chihe had lived in Daliang Mountain since he was a child. He “lived in an adobe house and ate and slept with cattle and sheep.” In order to live a better life, he chose to work outside.
"The outside world is not as beautiful as imagined." This is the personal experience of Zheng Chihe, a youth of the Yi ethnic group.
In 2015, Zheng Chihe left his hometown, Sanhe Village, Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province, and came to Guangzhou.
He has worked as a worker in an electronics factory as well as a construction worker. Behind his hard life, he deeply felt the importance of having a skill.
A year later, Zheng Chihe came to work at a pig farm in Jiangxi, wanting to concentrate on learning a technique.
At the pig farm, when he saw large trucks pulling carts of pigs to the slaughterhouse, Zheng Chihe suddenly thought of the Wujin pigs in his hometown. He felt that he could also try a pig farm and develop his hometown through professional pig raising. The characteristic industry is always better than working outside.
Just do it.
In August 2017, Zheng Chihe returned to his hometown and started raising pigs.
Without being understood and lacking funds, Zheng Chihe did not give up.
In 2019, Zheng Chihe fattened the first batch of piglets and sold 10 pigs at once, earning a total of more than 30,000 yuan. Looking at the results of his labor, the family was happy.
Later, many villagers came to visit and learn, and began to believe that large-scale breeding of Wujin pigs can also make you rich.
Zheng Chihe has become a role model for the young people in the village, and his dream is bigger.
This year, with the help of Country Garden, Zheng Chihe expanded the pig house, established the Wujin pig industry demonstration base, expanded the scale of breeding, and jointly promoted and strengthened the collective economy of the village, driving the poverty-stricken households of the village out of poverty and becoming rich.
In addition, Country Garden has also carried out a unified acquisition of Wujin Pig through social welfare enterprises under the Guoqiang Charity Foundation, and helped sales through e-commerce platforms and offline stores.
"Not only does it help raise pigs, but it also solves the sales channels." Zheng Chihe feels very fortunate about the strength of external assistance. He also has his own plans and ideas. It is impossible to buy such raw pork.” Next, he hopes to expand the scale of the pig farm, make Wujin pig a brand, and sell it outside Sichuan Province and even all over the country.
The young people are back, and rural revitalization has more young blood.
In fact, there are many stories of young entrepreneurs returning to their hometowns represented by Populus euphratica and Zhou Science. Instead of wandering around the bustling cities, they are committed to the development and promotion of characteristic industries in their hometowns, and they are driving the people in their hometowns to get rid of poverty and become rich. On the way.
Young people are the new force for rural revitalization. In the new stage of development, there is a lot to do in the countryside. I hope that more young people like them can enter the countryside, stay in the countryside, and build the countryside.
