Wan an Yang Tang Wen raises pigs to get rich and has the courage to start a business and keep going.

More than 1000 square meters of pig farms, more than 120 sows, more than 3000 live pigs a year, and more than 70 mu of orchards. Yang Tangwen, 43, is a celebrity in Tianxi Village, Shaokou Township, Wan'an County. Everyone says that it is commendable that a disabled person can take care of a pig farm to the present scale.

Suffer from disability and suffer from discrimination

Yang Tangwen was disabled in his right foot when he was 3 years old because of polio. Although his family was poor, when he reached school age, his parents sent him to school, hoping that he could, like other normal people, finish primary school, middle school, and high school, then go to college, and find a secure job after graduation.

At that time, a physically disabled child was often discriminated against and ridiculed by his classmates when he was in school. Yang Tangwen often sees some students pointing behind his back, and some even satirize "you are a dead man" directly. Yang Tangwen couldn't stand this insult and dropped out of school before finishing his second year of junior high school.

Because his family was poor, after dropping out of school, he tried to help his family lighten their burden, selling popsicles, digging rice field eels, catching Loach, and then returning some grain, oil and salt.

Have a strong will and work hard

Although Yang Tangwen walked very hard on the road of life, he never lost his confidence in the future. He always believes that, like a normal person, he can create his own sky with industrious hands.

One of Yang Tangwen's first jobs was to introduce the business to pig traders, introducing a pig for a reward of 2 yuan. Over the years, he learned to kill pigs, so he began to work as a butcher for more than 10 years. In 2007, many local pigs died of blue-ear disease, resulting in heavy losses in large and small pig farms. In 2008, just when most people had no confidence in raising pigs, Yang Tangwen opened the way to raising pigs.

"how can you raise a pig if you are disabled? Not to mention the lack of pig-raising skills. " Yang Tangwen's idea was opposed by his wife. "I've been dealing with pigs all my life, and I know more or less about the habits of pigs. For me, raising pigs is more reliable than doing other things. " Yang Tangwen identified the road of pig farming. Soon, he took out all his savings and built several simple pig pens on his mountain farm with his wife.

Since he had never raised a pig before, Yang Tangwen started from scratch. In order to learn the experience of raising pigs, he bought books, began to study by himself, and stayed in the pig house with the technicians hired by the pig farm to observe the growth of pigs. Through open-minded study, gradually mastered the professional knowledge of pig raising technology, such as feed collocation, disease prevention and so on. In addition, Yang Tangwen also actively participated in the training organized by counties and townships, inviting experts to his farm to teach skills. Soon, Yang Tangwen learned to dispense medicines and give injections to pigs, and became an expert at raising pigs from a layman. Yang Tangwen and his wife eat and live in a pig farm 365 days a year, with no holidays and no rest for the Spring Festival.

Yang Tangwen's hardship is unimaginable. In the first two years, due to the poor market situation and inexperience in pig farming, he had no confidence in losing money for two consecutive years, and he woke up in the middle of the night several times and cried bitterly with his wife.

Provide jobs for raising pigs to get rich

After several years of development, Yang Tangwen's pig farm house has reached 19, including pregnancy fence, nursery pen, sperm storage room, semen collection room. The pig farm house has reached standardized construction. At the same time, each pigsty has automatic feeding and water fetching equipment. Today, he produces 3000 pigs a year. At the same time, it also contracted more than 70 mu of barren mountains to plant Nanfeng tangerine, Jinggang honey pomelo and other fruit trees. The annual sales of pig farms and orchards amount to more than 5 million yuan.

The author noticed that the pig farm was so clean that there was no smell. Yang Tangwen said that all the pig manure in the pig farm has been treated by biogas, and the biogas produced is also used as fuel for several nearby villagers.

"Pig farms have solved the employment of more than 10 local disabled people." Yang Tangwen told me that Liu Yanfeng, 46, is very difficult for his family because he is disabled and cannot do heavy work. Last year, after learning about Liu Yanfeng's situation, Yang Tangwen asked him to come to the farm to help, do what he could, and give him a salary of 80 yuan a day.

"since the second half of last year, pig prices have rebounded. Next, I will expand several pig farms to make them bigger. While increasing their own income, they will also provide more jobs for the disabled and return to society. " Yang Tangwen said confidently.
