The "Tea Secretary" paved the way for the villagers to become rich.

"under the leadership of Zhang Xiaoping, Golden Kwan-yin tea trees have been planted in our village. the people in our village have jobs and their pockets are getting bigger and bigger." Speaking of Zhang Xiaoping, secretary of the village party branch, villager Xiang Haigen could not help giving a thumbs up.

Guanpu Village was once one of the 13 low-income peasant households in Lanju Township, with mountain ridges as the main arable land and low grain output, which was largely abandoned in the early years. After various investigations, Zhang Xiaoping and the two village committees established the development idea of "developing the tea industry and building a Golden Kwan-yin demonstration village".

At first, many villagers were not optimistic about tea cultivation. Zhang Xiaoping went door to door to do ideological work. Unexpectedly, the mortality rate of Golden Kwan-yin tea planted in the first year reached 80%, and many villagers backed down. But Zhang Xiaoping did not give up and went around to learn from his teachers. He lived up to his efforts, and finally succeeded in planting in the second year.

After the success of tea trial, more and more farmers are moved, but the pressure of funds deters many people. Zhang Xiaoping went to the relevant departments many times, and with a sense of persistence and tenacity, he successfully set up a provincial demonstration site, the Guanpu Village Development Mutual Aid Association of Longquan City, to issue loans to tea farmers and solve the urgent needs of tea farmers. Up to now, the association has a total of 139 members and has issued a total of 2.38 million yuan in loans.

While expanding the tea planting area, Zhang Xiaoping did not forget to make efforts in tea processing and sales. He hired professional and technical personnel from Fujian and Hangzhou to "preach and teach the industry," introduced advanced production and processing technology, and actively encouraged qualified farmers in the village to set up processing plants and promote standardized production. At present, there are nine tea processing factories in the village. the per capita income of the whole village has increased from 3195 yuan in 2005 to 12140 yuan in 2015. Tea alone has increased the income of the villagers by more than 5000 yuan.

Golden Kwan-yin has become the golden business card of Guanpu Village, and Zhang Xiaoping has come up with a new idea. He said that he wants to develop the beautiful tea garden in the village into a tea theme park, integrate the tea industry with tourism, and further raise the popularity of the Golden Kwan-yin tea industry. The way for villagers to increase their income and become rich will be expanded longer and wider.
