  Li Keyuan was born in 1991. His hometown is Xuefeng Village, Mabian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan City, Sichuan Province. It is located in the hinterland of Xiaoliang Mountain and is a village where the Yi people gather.

  In 2013, after graduating from university, Li Keyuan and a friend founded a machining company in Chengdu.

"Although I bought a house and settled down in Chengdu, my hometown is still my concern. Especially when I go home during the New Year's holiday, I see muddy roads and dilapidated houses, and I think that the children in the village have to grow up in such an environment. It's not the taste." Li Ke said, gradually a thought came to his mind, "I want to go back and find a way to make the villagers live a good life."

  "At that time, in addition to my family members who didn't understand, there were also many people in the village who spoke sarcastically, thinking that I came back because I couldn't get along outside." Faced with this, Li Keyuan did not shrink back, but strengthened his determination to return to his hometown.

In 2015, Li Ke sold his company shares and real estate in Chengdu, and returned to his hometown to start a business with all his savings.

Recalling his decision to return to his hometown to start a business, he said, "Who let my roots lie here! I have to be brave when I'm young, and I don't want to leave my youth with regrets."

  After many investigations, Li Keyuan found that Xuefeng Village is rich in grassland resources and has unique advantages in cattle raising. In addition, the price fluctuation of beef is small and the market demand is large. As long as the technology is mastered, the cattle raising project will be successful.

Therefore, Li Keyuan transferred 100 mu of land to plant grass, built a factory building of 1,300 square meters, and founded the Yicheng Beef Cattle Breeding Cooperative.

  Yicheng Beef Cattle Breeding Cooperative made a profit of 160,000 yuan in less than a year, ushering in a "good start".

The pragmatic and hardworking Li Ke gathered, not only changed the attitude of his family, but also won the recognition of the villagers.

Seeing that raising cattle is profitable, more and more young people follow Li Ke to learn techniques and join cooperatives.

  In 2016, Li Ke Luoluo was elected as the secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Xuefeng Village.

At that time, Xuefeng Village was still a provincial poverty-stricken village. Among the 248 villagers, 115 poor households were registered.

The roads in the village are still rough roads, and it is difficult to walk when it rains; most of the villagers' houses are earth-walled houses, and some families do not even have electricity.

The road to poverty alleviation is a long way to go, and Li Ke felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

  "When he first became the secretary of the village party branch, we questioned his ability, because he was only in his 20s and was too young. But seeing him every day with everyone to build roads, build houses, and clean the villagers' homes, Our view of him has changed a lot," said Lou Gou Shiji, the leader of the dumb mouth group villagers.

  In the past, the roads leading to the outside world in Xuefeng Village were all steep and steep, which made it very inconvenient for the villagers to go out.

"When our Xining Bay Highway 24 was built, the party secretary came to the construction site with two or three steamed buns every morning, organized and led party members and young people, and used the method of people pulling carts to finally repair the highway. , and now this road has become an Internet celebrity road. Without his leadership, the road would not be able to pass at all.” said Ou Qizhi, the secretary of the old village branch.

From 2017 to 2020, a total of 24.6 kilometers of hardened roads were built in Xuefeng Village.

  The road has been repaired, and the villagers' living problems have been solved.

Li Ke gathered together to hold a meeting of the heads of households to preach the policy of housing construction for poverty alleviation, and personally went to each household to guide housing construction.

In 2017, under his leadership, Xuefeng Village successively implemented the construction of 84 households in Yijia Xinzhai, the construction of 52 households in ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation, and the construction of 83 households in other forms of housing. The coverage rate of safe housing in the village reached 100%. , drinking water, communications renovation project, to achieve "four links."

  "Infrastructure construction alone is far from enough. My biggest goal is to make the villagers' wallets bulge." Li Ke gathered the key to the village's poverty alleviation and focus on industrial development.

He closely followed the development idea of ​​"branch + cooperative + farmers", changed the government's "direct investment" to "share cooperation", and invested in mutton sheep, beef cattle breeding and other industries with village-level poverty alleviation funds and industrial development funds for poor households.

In 2017, under the leadership of the "two committees" of the village, all 612 poor people from 115 households in Xuefeng Village were lifted out of poverty.

  The poor Xuefeng Village has become a thing of the past, and now Xuefeng Village is full of vitality.

As for how to effectively link the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements with rural revitalization in the next step, Li Keyuan is full of confidence: "I will lead more young people to take root at the grassroots level, work hard, and make selfless dedication, so that the people's pockets can be expanded a little more. Let the little days of the villagers be more beautiful."
