Tianzhu County, Guizhou Province: Yang Zhenghui's one-legged Entrepreneurship realizes "Rich Dream"

Yang Zhenghui (right) has a bumper harvest.

Yang Zhenghui is picking raisins.

He gave up his high salary and returned to his hometown to start a business, but he had an accident and amputated his left foot. He does not complain, is not discouraged, and is strong and unyielding in the face of adversity. Now, he can not only walk normally, but also have his own industry, leading the masses to start a business and get rich while living a better and better life.

He is Yang Zhenghui, a disabled person in Pingzhai Village, Lantian Town, Tianzhu County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, in his early 40s this year. A few days ago, the author came to Pingzhai Village, he was picking raisins in the seed garden to sell. The hot sun shone on him, and his dark face was covered with sweat and smiles:

"I have two varieties, Meizhi and Hongti, totaling 15 mu, with an income of nearly 100000 yuan this year. A cooperative will be set up at the end of the year to grow seeds and get rich with the villagers in the same village. My life will also move from winter to spring. "

There are many ups and downs on the road to entrepreneurship.

In his delight, Yang Zhenghui's eyes became distant: in his early years, he and his wife Yang Xiaohong went out to work in Zhejiang, and the couple took steps one step at a time. From the worker to the team leader, and then to the administrator, their monthly salary added up to more than 10,000 yuan. After more than a decade, I have some savings in my hand, and I always want to go home and start a business. Usually go to the small village near the factory to play, watch the local boss plant beauty and grass mold to make a fortune, then go with them to learn planting techniques.

In January 2013, Yang Zhenghui and Yang Xiaohong returned home and invested more than 100,000 kinds of seven mu raisins and built two greenhouses to cultivate strawberry seedlings. While they delve into the technology, they carefully cultivate seedlings, transplant, cover with plastic film, plant seedlings, build frames, and prune. After a year of painstaking cultivation, in early 2014, the strawberries they planted in the two greenhouses were produced, fragrant and sweet, and the surrounding people came to buy them, which fell short of demand.

However, just when they were filled with joy that their work was beginning to bear fruit, man-made disasters fell.

"he is also very strong, or he might have lost his life." Talking about the scene of the accident in the past, his wife Yang Xiaohong had lingering fears.

On February 13, 2014, in order to cultivate strawberry seedlings, Yang Zhenghui used a ploughing machine to plow the field. unfortunately, his left foot and trousers were stirred into the plow. Yang Zhenghui used all his strength to turn off the ploughing. Then he sat on the ground and shouted for help. By the time his wife, not far from him, arrived, the field was full of blood, his left foot was broken from his ankle, and his calf was only cut into bones. It was shocking and terrible. When he went to Tianzhu County people's Hospital for emergency treatment, the doctor said that he wanted to amputate the limb, but he was not reconciled. He went to Huaihua 535 Hospital, but the diagnosis result was the same: the limb must be amputated, or the whole leg would be scrapped. In desperation, Yang Zhenghui's left foot was amputated from the belly of his calf and was reduced to a third-level disability.

Start a business with one leg and realize the "rich dream"

After the amputation, Yang Zhenghui was in agony: without a foot, I would have to live on crutches. What about my fledgling career? What about the child's reading? All of a sudden, the mood fell to the bottom. His wife accompanied him, talked about his son, told funny things, and encouraged him to be strong. Under the guidance of his wife, Yang Zhenghui swept away the haze and was determined to get back on his feet, continue his unfinished business, and create a bright future for his wife and children. Three months later, he went to Guiyang to install a prosthetic limb.

When he began to walk with a prosthetic leg, his feet hurt so bitterly that he had to stop and have a rest even though he was on crutches, but Yang Zhenghui was not discouraged. Five minutes, twenty minutes, an hour. Slowly extend the practice time, practice every day, the foot and prosthetic parts will grow blisters, each long place is different, blisters disappear again, rise and disappear …... In this cycle, after more than half a year, Yang Zhenghui's left foot grew calluses, no longer blisters, and walked more and more smoothly. "Last year, I went to learn a driver's license. Until the moment the license was issued, only one coach knew that my left foot was a prosthetic leg." Yang Zhenghui said proudly.

In life, Yang Zhenghui tries not to let others treat him like a disabled person, as well as in his career. Even though he was physically inconvenient, he didn't wait for it. After a good rest, he quickly devoted himself to the management of the farm. He asked someone to set up the shed again and relied on his wife for heavy physical work. He did some light work such as pruning and weeding in the fields. At first, after only ten minutes of work, he had to sit down and rest, take off his prosthetic legs and give his feet a breathable and massage. now he can keep on working for an hour or two, and then stop to have a rest. Thanks to the efforts of their husband and wife, the raisins were full of branches this year, creating a bumper harvest.

With one leg still so energetic, farmers in the same village were inspired by Yang Zhenghui's spirit and followed Yang Zhenghui in planting one after another. In 2015, Yang Zhenghui's cousin Yang Zhenghuang, led by him, planted 8 mu of beautiful grapes. He helped book seedlings and taught planting and management skills. Yang Zhengyuan earned nearly 50,000 yuan this year. At the beginning of 2016, Zhang Meichun, the village director, approached Yang Zhenghui and proposed that he take the lead in setting up a cooperative, planting 100 mu of raisins, and leading the villagers of the same village to become rich together.

"at present, more than 10 households are willing to join our cooperative. It is expected that we will start ploughing and fertilizing in September this year, plant seedlings in November, and build a shed in January next year."

Speaking of the cooperative plan, Yang Zhenghui went on and on: "I have a broken foot and I have another foot. I will use the remaining one to lead the villagers to start a business together."
