One morning more than ten years ago, Wang Minggen, a farmer in Ji 'an County, rode an old-fashioned motorcycle with two baskets hanging on it. He rushed to the barren hills of Baishui Reclamation Farm in Jishui County, bought golden Jinggang pomelo at the price of 5 cents each, and then went to the pedestrian street of Ji' an City to sell pomelo along the street.

In 2004, hawker Lao Wang turned into a farmer. He contracted more than 30 mu of pomelo garden almost abandoned in Baishui Town reclamation farm in one breath, becoming the famous "Pomelo King". At present, there are 1031 Jinggang pomelo trees here, with an annual output of more than 300,000 jin, and Lao Wang's annual net income is as high as more than one million yuan.

This year, Lao Wang contracted 150 mu of land and planted more than 3000 Jinggang pomelo in Zhiyang Township, Ji 'an County, his hometown.
