Zhou limin: never forget the villagers when they get rich

July 24, Korla City Senil Town Senil Village.

Just arrived at 7:00 in the morning, Old Zhou got up on time, so many years of professional habits, so that even if he did not set the alarm clock, he would never be late.

Just three days ago, Lao Zhou personally escorted 10,000 ancestral pigeons with a total value of more than 1.3 million yuan from Guangzhou. The transportation distance of nearly 5000 kilometers and the long 75 hours made Lao Zhou almost dare not close his eyes, because this car carried the dream of getting rid of poverty of the ethnic brothers in southern Xinjiang.

After watching CCTV news, I started raising pigeons

Old Zhou is actually young, only 41 years old this year. Compared to the name "Zhou Limin," he preferred to be called "Old Zhou.""It's simple and kind to call him."

Old Zhou came to Senile Village from Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province in 2001. After farming, building, selling books and opening Internet cafes, Lao Zhou began raising pigeons in March 2013.

" Back then, I saw a news report about pigeon breeding on Central TV Department 7. I knew pigeons were easy to raise, grew quickly, cost was low, and benefits were stable, so I had the idea of taking this path." The forthright old Zhou used a Shaanxi Mandarin to say the original intention of starting a business.

However, it is not enough to watch TV alone. In view of the production, sales and development trend of pigeons, Lao Zhou went to Henan, Shandong, Guangdong and other places to investigate and study. After coming back, he introduced 800 breeding pigeons at a time to do experiments in his yard.

Hard work pays off. 800 breeding pigeons laying eggs, hatching, feeding these processes went smoothly-trial breeding success!

The breeding scale and reputation are both large

"The market is so good now, I plan to expand it a little more." Old Zhou, who has some "wild" hearts, got the support of his wife Zhao Junmei.

After the foundation of the loft was completed, Zhao Junmei was shocked by the scene in front of him: " I didn't expect it to be built so big. What should I do if I lose money?" "Deficit? And land, as long as we farmers have land, we have nothing to fear!" Old Zhou was confident.

In Bayingoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Laozhou, breeding pigeons, squab pigeons, pigeon eggs and even pigeon dung are treasures that can bring money: breeding pigeons are mainly sold to Kashgar, Hotan, Hami and Turpan; meat pigeons are mainly sold to Urumqi and Korla; pigeon eggs are mainly sold to Chongqing and Zhejiang. At present, the stock of pigeons in the old week has reached 60,000 birds a year, and 300,000 young pigeons have been released, with an annual profit of more than 3 million yuan. These three indicators are second to none in Xinjiang.

It is reasonable to say that Lao Zhou and his cooperative are now very famous and should be satisfied, but he spends more than 100,000 yuan every year to go to scientific research institutes and large-scale farms in Shandong, Beijing, Henan and Guangdong together with technicians to "learn from and recharge"."You will fall behind if you don't go far!"

"Poverty alleviation is also our social responsibility to do business."

"The temperature is high now. Pay attention to the weak pigeons that haven't drunk water. Feed them separately when you find them."

"Try to keep the loft dry and ventilated. Too much moisture will make the pigeons uncomfortable."

On the morning of that day, Lao Zhou explained the key points of summer pigeon loft management to Uygur villagers who came to study from Chelbagh Village, Tagar Township, Shache County.

"Pigeon breeding has quick results, low risk and short cycle, which is very suitable for poverty alleviation projects." This year, we caught up with poverty alleviation. Some of the autonomous region's committees and offices that participated in the 'visiting Huiju' village activities in southern Xinjiang issued several large orders, the most of which was 10,000 birds." Old Zhou said.

At the beginning of July, the working group of the Water Resources Department of the Autonomous Region in Chellebagh Village specially sent people to Bazhou Tianyu Pigeon Breeding Professional Cooperative in Laozhou for investigation, and decided that the training of pigeon breeding and poverty alleviation project in our village this year was set here.

After returning to the village of Chellebagh, the working group helped the village committee to set up the "Dream Meat Pigeon Breeding Cooperative" and ordered 800 pairs of breeding pigeons at one time in the old week.

"Wealth will not fall from heaven," said Maimaiti Aihaiti, a villager of Chelbagh Village."Where can we find happy life?" First, rely on the good leadership of the Party, second, rely on the implementation of policies, and third, rely on labor to create. I will cherish these 10 days of training, learn the skills attentively, and teach them to everyone when I return."

Up to now, more than 60 students from all ethnic groups have come from Aksu, Hotan, Hami and other places. Old Zhou not only taught hands-on, but also provided food and shelter free of charge."Poverty alleviation is also our social responsibility as an enterprise, so that more people can get out of poverty as soon as possible. We are duty-bound."
