Dongliao County, Jilin Province: Zhang Weishun's Classic of raising Sheep and getting Rich

Zhang Weishun, an ordinary person. But it is in such an ordinary person that we can see the success of persisting in getting rid of poverty. Recently, after a 20-minute drive, the reporter came to Chengren Village, Anshu Town, Dongliao County, and found Zhang Weishun, the leader of the Weishun sheep-raising professional cooperative.

When asked how Zhang Weishun started the business of raising sheep, he told the reporter that because his family was poor when he was a child, he dropped out of school at home before graduating from junior high school to help his parents herd cattle, sheep, and do odd jobs, but he was smart and smart since childhood. I learned from sheep in those years. In the early 1990s, Zhang Weishun went to Dongji market to sell mutton. After earning the first bucket of gold, he and his wife went to Dalian to do sheep business. After more than 20 years of struggle, they have gone through thousands of hardships and tasted ups and downs, and finally have their own foothold and career foundation. It was supposed to be a time for him to enjoy his life, but he did not choose comfort and resolutely returned to his hometown to engage in the sheep business. Zhang Weishun thought that this can not only protect the family and bring land, but also drive more farmers to follow suit and become rich.

Zhang Weishun is a man who does things neatly and does whatever he says. From choosing the site to building the sheep shed, the couple get up less than 5 o'clock every morning, carry out regular cleaning and disinfection of rice poles, grass, mixture, and sheepfold, do a good job in disease prevention, and contact and communicate with professionals in the town animal husbandry center at any time. I am so busy from morning to night that I am too tired to straighten up. The wife once wanted to give up, but saw her husband's tenacity and persisted with him.

In order to develop sheep farming on a large scale, we must also have excellent sheep raising skills. Zhang Weishun often went to the market to ask about the market and went to the bookstore to learn knowledge. At the same time, go deep into the homes of other sheep farmers to exchange learning experience, and gradually explore new ways of raising sheep scientifically. Zhang Weishun, who discovered the business opportunity of raising sheep to become rich in his business, has now set up a Weishun sheep-raising professional cooperative in Chengren Village, Anshu Town, Dongliao County. today, the number of sheep in Zhang Weishun farm has grown from more than 300 to more than 1000, with an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan. Led by him, there are now more than 10 professional sheep farmers in the village.

When asked about future plans for farms, he said that standardized sheep pens, stockpiles and biogas digesters will be built next year. If you want to do it, you have to do it.

Reporter's notes:

It is not just Zhang Weishun. In the process of interviewing the leaders of getting rich in the past, I can deeply feel that the characters of these leaders are all tenacious and unyielding, so that they will not stop because of the setbacks and difficulties encountered in the initial stage. They dare to take risks and are good at studying, so that they can constantly develop new varieties, improve innovative technologies and open up new markets. They are all benevolent and willing to share, so they have the vivid practice of "whether they are rich or not and let everyone be rich together."
