[Explanation] In winter, the cold is getting worse. In Shangang Community, Huagang Town, Feixi County, Anhui Province, the "post-90s" young Liu Yang's succulent planting greenhouse is full of spring. "Meat" stands neatly in a square plastic grid like a assembled team.
Liu Yang and his staff are busy in the shed, taking care of these lovely plant "elves" carefully.
[Explanation] Liu Yang is an authentic young farmer. After graduation, he chose to develop in the city like many rural youths.
In 2016, Liu Yang happened to see succulents in Moments, bought them and found out that they have great commercial potential.
So this post-90s youth gave up his generous job in big cities and returned to the countryside to establish a succulent base.

Since 2016, I have been exposed to Susu, because Suu knew that the market prospects were better at that time. The second is that it reproduces faster and then the profit is good, so it has been exposed to Susu.
It’s really a bit uncomfortable to start making succulents, because many things need to be explored on their own.
[Explanation] In fact, Liu Yang took a lot of detours when he first planted succulents. Because of his inexperience, the succulents he planted died on a large scale.
The planting base also suffered a flood, and lost more than 1 million yuan at most.

I suffered a lot of setbacks when I just started.
For example, sometimes there is no breeding in the breeding season, and there is no watering when it is time to water, resulting in a very high mortality rate. It is because others are well raised and I can't raise them.
But later, because I wanted to go out to study and study, I ran around the country, such as Shandong, Yunnan, Fujian, and other places like Shandong, Yunnan, and Fujian, and learned a lot.
[Explanation] From the 10 greenhouses that started in 2016, it was expanded to 20 greenhouses in 2017, and the e-commerce team was formed to now have a succulent planting base with a total area of 36 acres.
After five years of development, Liu Yang has more than 200 varieties of succulents, with an annual sales volume of more than 5 million, and the succulent business has begun to take shape.
【Explanation】While Liu Yang develops himself, he also drives the development of the village.
The planting base not only hired more than 20 villagers, but also signed agreements with surrounding villages to raise succulents.
Liu Yang provides seedlings and planting technology. After the villagers plant at home, the base is responsible for purchasing and selling.

We provide technical production technology here, provide seedlings, and then they provide space and personnel, and then grow to a certain size, I directly harvest.
[Explanation] Speaking of young people returning to their hometowns to start businesses, Liu Yang said that the future development prospects of rural areas are broad and it is very suitable for young people to start businesses in combination with the Internet.
He hopes that more young people can carry forward the spirit of hard struggle and devote themselves to the cause of rural revitalization.
[Concurrent] Liu Yang, a young entrepreneur
I think that the prospects for young people to go to the countryside are very broad, because whether it is the national policy or the emerging industries, because in the rural areas, whether you are growing vegetables or flowers like ours, in fact, it is still pretty good.
Because young people are very open-minded, now the e-commerce of agricultural products is still very good, and it is also very suitable for young people to do this.
