My Days in the Fertile Fields

His name was Li Xiang, and he held a master’s degree in Logistics Engineering and Management from a 211 university. To realize his dream of starting a business and raise the seed money, he became a food delivery rider. When his father was badly injured in an accident, he returned home to care for him and began growing okra. Once he had saved enough to get started, he planned to return to the provincial capital, but the classmate who was supposed to start a business with him backed out, and his girlfriend broke up with him. Heartbroken, he nonetheless became even more determined to pursue his dream. He stayed in his village, became a new-generation farmer, established a vegetable delivery company, and organized a vegetable cooperative. Through countless hardships and with unwavering effort, he led the villagers in creating a new agricultural model that brought production, processing, and delivery together. He achieved his entrepreneurial dream, and the roses he planted with Dong Qian, a master’s graduate in agricultural sciences, blossomed in winter.
