She followed her parents to learn to grow, pick and make tea in the mountains, and developed a series of skilled handmade skills of Pu'er tea from picking to packaging, and became a well-known "tea mother" in Ailao Mountain. In 2014, with the support of the local government, Ai Lijuan invested in the establishment of Zhenyuan Jiade Manor Tea Co., Ltd. Pu'er tea products are sold at home and abroad, driving more than 400 tea farmers in mountainous areas to increase their income and become rich.
