The annual net income of "Bamboo Mouse King" is nearly 400000 yuan.

On August 26, the author came to Hetian Village, Xiatianpu Town, Jiangyong County, where the sign of "Yongming bamboo rat imitation ecological breeding cooperative" hung at the door of a factory building, which is particularly eye-catching, where more than 600 bamboo rats are raised.

The head of the cooperative, he Shaoping, 36, was disabled because of muscular dystrophy in his hands. Chen Yihui, mayor of Xiadianpu Town, said: "he Shaoping is the 'king of bamboo rats' raised in cooperatives, and he is also a good village cadre. He is helping many families of disabled people and poor people to raise bamboo rats out of poverty and become rich."

A few years ago, with a relentless drive to admit defeat, he Shaoping delved into the breeding methods of bamboo rats, not only creating his own way to get rich, but also helping villagers out of poverty. On June 26 this year, a "bamboo rat imitation ecological breeding cooperative" was established, which is composed of disabled people and professional farmers. The cooperative now has 10 members, 5 of whom are disabled.

He Shaoping usually doesn't talk much, but when he talks about his entrepreneurial experience, his chatterbox opens. He told me that after graduating from junior high school, he went south to work in Guangdong several times because his hands were inflexible and the factory was unwilling to accept it. He tried to raise cattle, fish and dogs, all of which ended in failure. By chance, he saw the information of breeding bamboo rats on TV. He compared the conditions in his hometown with that of bamboo rats, and there were wild bamboo rats locally. So in October 2011, he took out his family's savings of only 3400 yuan to buy 10 pairs of bamboo rats and began to try to cultivate bamboo rats.

Due to lack of technology and experience, nine of the 10 pairs of bamboo rats raised by he Shaoping died in a few days. Seeing that he lost all his money, his parents and some kind-hearted friends advised him to give up. He Shaoping said nothing, but he Shaoping was still unconvinced. The only supporter at this time was his wife. In 2012, she sent home more than 20000 yuan saved by working as a migrant worker and reintroduced 70 pairs. Through continuous practice, he Shaoping fumbled out a set of bamboo rat breeding experience, improved from the bamboo rat food, in addition to giving bamboo rats one or two bamboo a day, but also fed them carrots, soybeans, wheat and rice bran, all of which were produced by he Shaoping himself, which not only saved the cost, but also maintained the original ecological feeding.

"now the survival rate of bamboo mice giving birth is high, reaching 98% in spring and 70% in winter. 80%." There is confidence in he Shaoping's words. Now, he Shaoping's bamboo rat culture has developed to more than 600, with an output value of more than 200,000 yuan.

He Shaoping told me that bamboo rats can be sold for 65 yuan per jin, and many hotels in surrounding counties and cities take the initiative to ask for goods, and supply exceeds demand. With generous returns, he Shaoping wants to help more people with disabilities and wants to make the industry bigger.

"he is such a good man that without his help, I may have to eat at home." Li Shuide, a 58-year-old villager of 14 groups in Xiatianpu Village, said that three years ago, he suffered from sequelae of cerebral thrombosis and could not work in the fields. Last year, he Shaoping provided rodent breeds at a preferential price, taught breeding techniques free of charge, gave free guidance on disease prevention and treatment, and helped him raise 20 bamboo rats. it is estimated that the number of bamboo rats will grow to 100 this year, with an annual income of more than 20,000 yuan.

In the second half of last year, Jiangyong County vigorously carried out accurate poverty alleviation. Jiangyong Agricultural Commercial Bank issued a poverty alleviation loan of 50,000 yuan to he Shaoping. He Shaoping used this fund and his own savings to build a large bamboo rat farm. "my newly built bamboo rat farm can raise more than 3000 bamboo rats. I will do a good job and lead the disabled and poor people to cultivate bamboo rats to become rich together." He Shaoping is full of confidence in expanding the scale of farming.

Nowadays, the scale of Yongming bamboo rat imitation ecological breeding cooperative is growing, and its members radiate to four townships, raising more than 5000 bamboo rats, with an annual net income of nearly 400000 yuan. Deng Guifang of Taochuan Town, a cooperative member, has grown to 500, and Zhang Yude of Yuankou Township has grown to 300. "there are still more than 20 disabled families and poor people who want to join the cooperative, and I will try my best to help them shake off poverty and become rich with me by raising bamboo rats," he said.
