A member of the Junshan District Branch of the Yueyang Municipal Committee of the People's Progressive Party, Shen Rong, as his name suggests, has a beautiful and charming face and a sweet and lovely smile. In 2016, she gave up her high salary and returned to the field to establish the Hongxing Planting Professional Cooperative in Junshan District, Yueyang City, Yueyang Jialian Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., and operate the five-star leisure farm of Yueyang Junhetang. Because of her love and dedication to Xianglian, a small lotus flower has become a mouth-watering lotus seat; because of her love and dedication to Xianglian, a small lotus seed has become a "rich fruit" for poor households to get rid of poverty.
Yueyang is the hometown of wild lotus flowers, a big city of lotus planting, and has a long history of planting lotuses, and the lotus seeds produced are complete and have high nutritional content. Shen Rong has a special love for lotus, living next to the lotus pond since childhood, holding a boat, catching small fish, picking lotus tents, digging lake lotus roots are all childhood tricks, and he loves the beautiful and pure lotus flowers the most! Lotus has the noble quality of "out of the mud without staining", but also the whole body is a treasure, not only can be eaten but also medicinal, but also can purify people's minds, edify people, educate people.
In a chance trip to the countryside, Shen Rong found that the green lotus fields were missing, and the fields were full of weeds, Shen Rong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. After half a year of consideration, she came up with the idea of giving up high salaries, starting her own business, relying on junshan's 10,000 acres of wild lotus garden to create Xianglian and leading the villagers to get rich together.
After deciding, she soaked in the "soil expert" pile all day to learn, and used every opportunity to ask the agricultural expert for advice. Hunan Agricultural University, Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other universities are her frequent places. Over the past few years, she has either been in the field, or on the way to ask experts for advice, or rushing to major markets such as Bozhou and Shaodong Lianqiao in Anhui Province for sales docking.
"Help Rong Meizi, let us old people make money at the doorstep of our homes, and the days will become more and more comfortable!"
