Post-80s Liu Chao, a child of an ordinary peasant family in Bijia Village, Xiaowu Township, Xiaochang County, dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school in 2002 to work in Xinyang, Henan Province. later, he successfully started a business in Luohe and successively opened six stores with millions of assets.

Drop out of school and go to Xinyang to learn craftsmanship and start a business with his wife Luohe.

Liu Chao was born in Bijia Village, Xiaowu Township, Xiaochang County in 1985. his parents were both ordinary farmers and their families were financially strapped from an early age. In 2002, due to family poverty, Liu Chao, who was in the second year of junior high school in Xiaowu Township Forestry Middle School, dropped out. Under the introduction of relatives, he came to a food store in Xinyang to learn how to make cakes, biscuits and other non-staple snacks.

The children who come out of the mountains are particularly able to bear hardships. Liu Chao, who learns craftsmanship in a food store in Xinyang, Henan Province, is not only smart and studious, but also very diligent. He always rushes to do the dirty work and hard work in the store. During his apprenticeship, he seldom went shopping. Whenever he had time, he always liked to stay in the shop and work with his master. The master was also optimistic about the child who came out from the depths of the mountains in Hubei and handed down his skills.

While studying craftsmanship in Xinyang, Liu Chao met Zhou Xiaojing, a girl of the same age from Luohe, Henan Province. they both learned skills in this food store and encouraged and took care of each other in their work and life. They worked in Xinyang for six years. In 2008, Liu Chao and Zhou Xiaojing entered the marriage hall hand in hand. After getting married, the two came to Luohe to open a cake shop. because the cake they made tasted good and the price was reasonable, they soon opened the market, and the business of the cake shop was very prosperous. After earning some accumulation, Liu Chao and his wife Zhou Xiaojing did not save the money, but opened another teahouse, so that the teahouse and the cake shop complement each other, and the business of the teahouse is as prosperous as ever.

Later, they adopted the snowball method and successively opened six stores, such as famous tobacco and wine, and clothing stores, and the business of each store was very good. In only 8 years of starting a business in Luohe, Liu Chao has accumulated millions of funds. Just as he was preparing to invest in the next project, Liu Baicheng, the party branch secretary from his hometown Bijia Village, found him. After a deep discussion between the two men, Liu Chao resolutely decided to return to his hometown Bijia Village in the depths of the mountains to start another business.

Go back to Bijia Village alone and lead the villagers to break out of poverty and become rich.

Liu Chao's hometown Bijia Village is located in Bijia Mountain, Xiaowu Township, Xiaochang County, 700 meters above sea level, remote location, inconvenient transportation, belongs to the "old small border poor" area, is a typical poor village in mountainous areas. There are only 56 families in the village, with a village-level debt of more than 140000 yuan. In August 2015, Xiaogan Municipal people's Congress, Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, Municipal Forestry Bureau and Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office entered Bijia Village, which opened the prelude to accurate poverty alleviation work. After taking into account the actual situation of the village, Liu Baicheng, the village branch secretary, persuaded Liu Chao to return to the village to start another business, transfer land to create an eco-agricultural landscape demonstration garden, guide the masses to develop tea, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, characteristic planting and breeding, and increase the income of the poor.

After doing the ideological work of his wife Zhou Xiaojing, Liu Chao gave her six shops in Luohe, Henan Province to take care of. After saying goodbye to his two children, he returned to his hometown Bijia Village. In the past, villagers in this village relied on traditional cash crops such as fir trees as their main source of income, but it took more than ten years for Chinese fir trees to grow. Considering the good prospect of the current tea market, the climatic and geographical conditions of Bijia Village are very suitable for the cultivation of original ecological tea. However, the villagers have a wait-and-see mood, coupled with a large number of young and middle-aged labor in the village to go out to work, the tea economic situation is difficult to open for a while. He decided to take the lead in growing tea. Then focus on training several tea growers to let the people in the village see the economic benefits of growing tea. Only in this way can we promote the development of the tea industry.

In October 2015, after submitting his application to join the party, Liu Chao invested 1.2 million yuan to start the construction of an eco-agricultural landscape demonstration park. He transferred more than 200 mu of barren hills and slopes at a high price of 300 yuan per mu, and then invited an excavator to transform the barren hills and slopes. From March 3 to 10, 2016, he hired villagers to plant 700000 high-quality tea seedlings, 1000 landscape tree seedlings, and pear, pomegranate and other fruit seedlings on the 200 mu of barren hills and slopes. At the end of March, he invested another 700000 yuan to start the construction of a tea processing plant. Liu Chao said that after the establishment of this eco-agricultural landscape demonstration park with the integration of species and breeding. Then set up companies + farmers' planting and breeding cooperatives to lead all the villagers to break out of poverty and become rich.

The construction of Liu Chao's eco-agricultural landscape demonstration garden broadens the villagers' horizons. While they work in his demonstration garden, they learn the advanced techniques of planting and management of the original ecological tea, and at the same time apply it to the development and management of their own tea garden. Driven by Liu Chao, the original ecological tea in Bijia Village has gradually developed from sporadic cultivation to large-scale operation, and the planting area of the whole village has suddenly expanded to more than 300 mu this year. Liu Chao hopes that under his own lead, the characteristic planting and aquaculture industry in the village can develop as soon as possible, and the villagers' pockets will begin to bulge and smile gradually.
