Migrant workers have become rich leaders

"I must thank the government and my neighbors for getting to where I am today. My achievements today are inseparable from their support and help." Li Jibin, a migrant worker, told the Workers' Daily with a smile.

Li Jibin, 50, is from the west village of Sanhe Town, Ping'an District, Haidong City, Qinghai Province. with only a junior high school education, he has not only three years of military service and many years of working experience, but also can deeply feel the unique drive and tenacity of this man.

After leaving the army, Li Jibin went to work in a non-ferrous metal processing plant in Qinghai Province. in 1997, Li Jibin, who had worked in the enterprise for 11 years, lost his job because the factory went bankrupt and returned home with 10,000 yuan subsidized by the government at that time.

After being laid off, Li Jibin's family was short of income and their living conditions plummeted. At that time, the family lived in a dilapidated house for 13 years.

Whenever he saw his wife toiling back and forth in this poor family, Li Jibin felt extremely ashamed and unwilling to be ordinary, he was determined to go out of the house to work for himself.

In the west village where Li Jibin is located, many people have made a fortune by raising pigs. After consultation with his wife, Li Jibin made up his mind to stop working around and wanted to start a business to raise pigs for a living. In 2001, Li Jibin borrowed money from all his relatives and friends and borrowed 110000 yuan from the bank. Li Jibin and his wife, who had no experience of raising pigs before, had to cross the river by feeling the stones.

"at that time, pigs were all imported from Ledu County, and the feed for pigs was all finished feed bought. At that time, we didn't know anything, and we didn't have any professional training. we fumbled or went to ask our neighbors about pig raising, and sometimes we looked for answers in books or on the Internet when we really didn't know what to do. " Li Jibin's wife Zhao Guihua said.

In this way, one step at a time, Li Jibin and his wife fumbled on the road of raising pigs for three years, and the cause of raising pigs gradually improved, and their efforts were soon rewarded. Three years later, Li Jibin decided to expand the farm again. Over the next five years, Li Jibin and Zhao Guihua became more and more comfortable, and the pig house built before was "full" again.

Today, migrant worker Li Jibin has become the leader of getting rich in Murakami, and many pig farmers outside the village have come to his farm to learn from pig farming experience. Many admired farmers visited his pigsty on the spot and took the initiative to exchange lessons with him. In this way, Li Jibin and the farmers also have a lot in common, and there are more and more farmers in the surrounding villages.

"now it is not whether it is successful or not, but I know that to be a man and do things must be down-to-earth and hard, so that there can be a return. My greatest wish is that our village can also be designated as a demonstration pig village by the city in the future! " Li Jibin is full of longing for the future.
