Li Lihong believed that this was a great opportunity to return home to start a business and realize his dream. After consultation and deliberation between husband and wife, she decided to go back to her hometown to engage in farming alone, and her husband continued to work in the tourism company.

Although the temporary difficulties have been solved and new difficulties have emerged, she still needs to invest a lot of money in the face of inadequate infrastructure and the need to build roads and workshops.
