[Explanation] Dushan Village in the suburbs of Baiyin City, Gansu Province, located in the gully of the barren mountains, covered in the wind-eroded landscape of Yadan, but hidden a lush green corridor of several kilometers. The largest proportion of these plants is peony. The flowering period has passed, but it still looks magnificent.
Recently, a reporter saw this oasis in a desolate gully in Huangyagou, Dushan Village, Baiyin, Gansu. The young man returning home, Wang Fuhui, started planting peonies and various seedlings at his home village five years ago. He initially opened up wasteland in the ravine And later discussed with the villagers to transfer more crop land. Compared to before, the villagers lived on wheat, with low yields and poor harvests. Nowadays, the ravines and valleys of Huaxiang Mangu have become both landscapes and economic incomes. The benefits of peonies are dozens of times that of the previous wheat planting. While improving the ecological landscape, they also lead nearby villagers to get rich with peony economy.

When I came at that time, in our ditch, the land was a large area of wasteland, including those behind me planting peonies, all of which were wasteland. In the past, when we planted wheat, in addition to the water fee, labor fee, and seed fee, the economic benefit of an acre of land was about 1,000 to 1200 yuan.
[Explanation] Looking at the large area of deserted land in the valley of his hometown, Wang Fuhui compares the society he saw when he was wandering outside these years. As a result, he led a professional planting cooperative and transferred 750 acres of land in a 7-kilometer long ravine to plant green plants.

When it reaches its full production period, the yield of seeds per acre can reach 600 to 700 pounds per mu. At the current market price, its economic value and benefits per acre are particularly good and can be achieved About 60,000 yuan.
[Commentary] The 70-year-olds in the village praised the great changes in the environment during the past two years. Most of them planted crops such as wheat and soybeans for most of their lives, and now they are starting to fiddle with flowers and plants. Although this is more meticulous than taking care of the crops, I feel particularly comfortable every day.

(Environment) It's much better, and it looks better. When you go up and down, it looks much better than before. What is the bare one before? What I say now is that as soon as this cooperative is established, we can keep up with a job, it is convenient, and life has improved, much better.
【Explanation】It is understood that through demonstrations, 15 villagers have joined the planting of seedlings and peonies. Wang Fuhui, who has studied at the university, told reporters that in the future, he will continue to expand planting and breeding to form scales to make the village beautiful and make more villagers rich.
