Yang Rumen, a white rice bomber who once spoke out for agriculture, began to promote friendly deeds in Jinshan and Wanli in New Taipei City in 2015 and set up "Caitian friendly farming Co., Ltd." Over the past three years, we have been continuously tutoring local small farmers not to apply pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Through the purchase of contracts, we have not only slowly restored the local ecology, but also increased farmers' income.

Why did you start to promote friendly deeds locally? "want to hear the truth? I'm here to dive. " You think he's joking, but Yang Rumen is serious and complains seriously. "this year is too busy. It's all May now. I haven't dived yet, and I'm not very comfortable. Every time I come through the seaside, I just look at the sea and I don't even touch the water."

"everyone says that they want to move forward for the sake of their dreams and to make society better. This is too hypocritical for me to say." Yang Rumen went straight back and forth. At first, he simply came to Jinshan to dive. "for a long time, his staff felt that they all came to dive and did nothing and didn't work, and they were talked about all the time." Later, when I passed by, I saw that a rice field was very beautiful, and other people kept gossiping, "if you don't want to talk, you can ask me if anyone wants to be friendly with me. At that time, I just thought that if pesticides and chemical fertilizers were not used, that field would be very beautiful."
