It was seven years ago when a friend introduced me to a large-scale flower production base in Heping Village, a temple town in Chongming District. The next morning, my friend and I drove more than 10 kilometers to visit this flower production base. When I arrived at the destination, I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me: a wide north-south avenue paved with asphalt is three or four hundred meters long, and the avenue is lined with tall and large intelligent flower greenhouses.

In front of the three-story office building of the cooperative, we were greeted by Ren Xiaoping, the person in charge of the Yingmiao Cooperative, who was as young and beautiful as a "flower fairy". After a brief introduction by a friend, Ren Xiaoping enthusiastically led the two of us to visit several smart flower sheds where anthurium flowers are planted.

Because we were afraid that the anthurium would be infected with the virus, we could only stop and watch at the door of the trellis, but not close to it. I saw the bright anthurium flowers in full bloom, like a bunch of colorful flames burning, competing in the huge flower shed, it was very beautiful! Several florists dressed in disinfected white clothes walked through the process, cutting the blooming anthurium flowers with special scissors and gently placing them in the flower baskets in the corridor......

Later, we came to the fresh cut flower packaging workshop, where the flowers displayed in plastic tubes were red, pink, and a small amount of white and purple...... Several female workers are selecting anthuriums of different colors from different plastic tubes, gently placing them in special plastic bags, then loading them into a long and narrow carton, and then closing the lid, and the complete packaging process is complete. Beside them, the packaged boxes of anthurium fresh cut flowers have been piled up to waist-high.

I gently took a brightly colored anthurium flower from the plastic tube and examined it carefully. The noble flower, like the shape of a boat, people love it, does it symbolize the meaning of smooth sailing; The petals that look like the palm of the palm may contain the flower language of the heart? A flower has three colors: the red of the flower, which is very suitable for the Chinese red that everyone in the Chinese nation loves; The only stamen in the middle is yellow, and it is similar to the golden five stars on our flag; The long stalk under the flower is olive green......

According to Ren Xiaoping, Shanghai Yingmiao Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative Zhengxiang Flower Base, founded in 2008, is mainly engaged in the planting and sales of characteristic flowers, and is one of the largest modern flower planting bases in Chongming Island and even Shanghai. It has 30,000 square meters of glass intelligent greenhouse, of which Shed 1 to 3 is planted with anthurium fresh cut flowers, and Shed 4 is planted with other precious flower varieties. The flower base has introduced the Dutch fully automatic intelligent greenhouse control system - Priva system, which is the most advanced equipment currently used in flower planting. Anthurium fresh cut flowers and various flowers produced by the flower base are not only supplied to dozens of famous flower markets such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dalian, Xiamen, Fujian, Liaoning, Hunan, Anhui, etc., but also exported to Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other foreign markets, with an average annual sales of more than 2,000 yuan for all kinds of flowers......

Ren Xiaoping also introduced that some of the high-grade anthurium fresh cut flowers used daily in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, are also produced by Yingmiao Cooperative and provided by a designated customer in Beijing. On the "Chinese Martyrs' Memorial Day" on September 30 every year, party and state leaders, together with representatives from all walks of life, decorate the flower baskets presented to the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square, all of which are decorated with anthurium flowers produced by the Yingmiao Cooperative.

This short visit to Yingmiao Cooperative made me form an indissoluble bond with Ren Xiaoping, the "flower fairy". Because I am a volunteer of entrepreneurship guidance experts in Chongming District, I have gradually had more contact with her since then. In the second half of 2017, in the first agricultural "innovation and entrepreneurship" competition jointly organized by the Chongming District Science and Technology Commission, the Chongming District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Chongming District Agricultural Committee, I participated in the counseling work of Ren Xiaoping's new company's project "Creation of "Agricultural Choice" Agricultural Products E-commerce Platform", and finally won the only first prize.

Afterwards, a leader of the Shanghai Entrepreneurship Guidance Expert Volunteer Group came to visit the Anthurium Flower Base, and the leader learned that Ren Xiaoping had won the award and proposed to let me write a poem praising her "innovation and entrepreneurship". So, I wrote the Tibetan poem for her in an entertaining way:

There is a long way to go,

Try your hand at the road.

The platform plays the story of the farmer,

Stretch your arms to help farmers stride.

Just in the prosperous era to build ecology,

auspicious clouds turn into rain to moisten the soil.

Good floral dreams are scattered,

Praise and heartfelt poetry books.

The first word of the first sentence of this poem is: "Ren Xiaoping and Zhang Zhengxiang are so praised!" (Zhang Zhengxiang is the husband who fully supports Ren Xiaoping's "agricultural innovation"). Today, this poem has been inscribed and framed by Mr. Yu Renshui, a famous calligrapher in Zhejiang, and displayed in the activity room on the third floor of the cooperative.

In the following years, due to the relationship of entrepreneurial guidance, my understanding of the "flower fairy" Ren Xiaoping deepened day by day. Originally from Wuhu, Anhui Province, she came to Chongming Island in Shanghai in 2008 to engage in agriculture-related entrepreneurship with her husband, and tried to develop flower production, which not only made a beneficial exploration for the adjustment of Chongming's rural industrial structure, but also fit the general trend of Chongming's construction of a world-class ecological island. Soon after the establishment of Zhengxiang Flower Base, it raised a huge amount of money to introduce anthurium, a flower variety that blooms all year round, from the Netherlands. With an area of 45 acres, there are 4 constant temperature control steel structure super-large transparent glass greenhouses, in addition to planting 200,000 pots of anthurium, but also planting more than 100,000 pots of other flower varieties.

After the establishment of the flower base, Ren Xiaoping actively studied the flower planting technology, humbly sought advice from florists at home and abroad, and quickly mastered the planting technology and growth rules of anthurium flowers and other flowers. She is also responsible for the introduction of flower varieties of the cooperative, technical guidance and daily management of the flower shed cultivation personnel throughout the year, as well as the expansion of the flower market, and has achieved remarkable results: she has successively won the outstanding students of Shanghai Young Farmers, the principal of the agricultural school, and the new professional farmer; In 2018, he was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to participate in the exchange and study of young agricultural practical talents in China and Europe to EU countries; Her successful entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial achievements have also been published in the journals of China Industry and Commerce News and Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. In 2019, she was recruited as a member of the Shanghai Entrepreneurship Guidance Expert Volunteer Group. She was also awarded the first batch of "Special Agricultural Talents" in Shanghai, "Eagle" and "Head Goose" in Shanghai.

Yingmiao Cooperative was rated as "National Demonstration Cooperative", "National Top 300 Cooperatives" and "Pilot Planting Base for Export Fresh Cut Flower Cultivation Standardization"; The flower base has participated in the China Flower Expo and the World Flower Expo for many times, and has won many awards and honors; In August 2023, the flower base also won the title of "National Anthurium Flower Cultivation Standardization Demonstration Zone" by the State Administration for Market Regulation.

In this year's "Haiju Talents" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition under the guidance of the Shanghai Talent Office and Talent Work Bureau of the Communist Party of China and sponsored by the Shanghai Haiju Talent Development Promotion Association, Ren Xiaoping's "Anthurium Industry Standard and Supply Chain Innovation" project once again won the first prize in the Chongming Division......

A few days ago, I met Ren Xiaoping, the "flower fairy", and when I asked her what her plans were for her beloved anthurium industry, she told me: by 2025, the output of anthurium flowers will reach 500,000 pots, and the sales will exceed 12 million yuan; By 2030, the output of anthurium flowers will reach 1 million pots, and the sales volume will reach 20 million yuan. At the same time, it is also necessary to build her "Flower Fairy" brand, so that it can go out of Shanghai, into the Asia-Pacific region, and into the world.
