Dongkeng Town, Jingning, Zhejiang Province: Lao Hong's Road to Prosperity

When it comes to Hong Yunze, a villager in Dongkeng Village, Dongkeng Town, many people know that he used to be a farmer in the village and is a typical "pig pig".

Nowadays, the "five-water co-governance" has entered the "street warfare" stage of small watershed and micro-governance. In the new normal to preserve the results of the previous stage of water control, Dongkeng Town comprehensively started the management of livestock and poultry breeding, "swineherd" Lao Hong actively cooperated with the work, shut down their own livestock and poultry farms. However, due to his low level of education, lack of skills and lack of social experience, it is difficult for him to increase his source of income except for farming.

"swineherd" Lao Hong was a bamboo craftsman in the village when he was young. on the road of "six sides, three changes and three beauties" in the village, Lao Hong regained his unique skills and made use of the resource and industrial advantages of bamboo to weave bamboo into bamboo fences, bamboo stools and bamboo chairs. In his home, thousands of bamboo are piled into "bamboo mountains", sawing, breaking strips and weaving, and each process is in good order. In just a few days, the "swineherd" turned into a "craftsman". Over the past six months, he built bamboo fences for several villages and sent bamboo stools and chairs to Nongjiale. Everyone gave a thumbs up to his craft village and brought considerable economy at the same time.

"if you work for a few days and play for a few days, you can not only earn a salary but also take care of your family." Uncle Li, a villager, helped Lao Hong with a monthly salary of thousands of yuan. Uncle Li appreciated the way Lao Hong dug to get rich.

Lao Hong told me that his children will also open an online shop on Taobao, and the bamboo chairs and stools they knit are sold in large quantities to farmers in Taishun, Wencheng, Wenzhou and other counties and cities. "next I plan to carry out deep processing of bamboo products to make the industrial chain longer." When it comes to the bamboo products processing industry, Lao Hong shines in his eyes.

Bamboo weaving was a skill of rural people in the past. Bamboo weaving can be skillfully woven into some practical daily necessities. Nowadays, things woven with bamboo may slowly fade out of people's lives. As the crystallization of labor wisdom in the farming era, bamboo weaving has left a deep complex in people's hearts. More and more people have regarded bamboo weaving as an art, and the weaving is more like a work of art. As Lao Hong said, many people will come to buy their "handicrafts", and it is such an opportunity to provide more employment and income channels for people who work at home.
