I didn’t know what to plant when the greenhouse was built. The village organization went to the countryside to study, and I went to Gannong University (Gansu Agricultural University) to study. I went to learn how to cultivate celery seedlings, and when I came back, I planted celery seedlings.
My wife and I support everything I do. No one grows celery when I don’t do it. In recent years, we have grown a lot in our village, which mainly affects the surrounding people.
