The dream of becoming rich by Zhao Yuxiang, an "native expert" in Tianjin

Seeing the Spring Festival getting closer and closer, the bright Ganoderma lucidum and full mushrooms in the greenhouse were fully booked by customers. Zhao Yuxiang, praised by the villagers as a "local expert", smiled from ear to ear in the face of the reporter's camera. "I am happy not only because I have had a bumper harvest in growing edible fungi, but also because of the actual results of my dream of promising the villagers to get rich together."

When it comes to Zhao Yuxiang, a farmer from Shuangkou Village, Shuangkou Town, Beichen District, the villagers all give a thumbs up. Having entered his early years, although he was born with a disability in his right hand, he has always made continuous self-improvement, has been focused on agricultural technology research and dissemination, and won the title of "Advanced worker of Science Popularization in Tianjin" in 2005.

The reporter saw Zhao Yuxiang's bedside and desk covered with scientific and educational publications and notes. In recent years, he has tried to tackle key problems in the cultivation of edible fungi with initial results, especially since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward Chinese Dream. This makes Zhao Yuxiang have his own dream-he must try his best to find a way in the cultivation of edible fungi and make it an industry for the villagers around him to get rich together.

In order to benefit the villagers from his planting experience, Zhao Yuxiang holds various special training courses on his own irregularly every year. A villager told the reporter, "the most important feature of his training course is that he guarantees teaching, guarantees meetings, and does not charge a fee." when there are students in difficulties in other places, he even pays money to manage food and teach them. " Whenever villagers come to ask for advice, Zhao Yuxiang is always in high spirits: "my greatest enjoyment is that the planting method I have come up with can make money for all the villagers around me."

After an agricultural expert came to the village to inspect the cultivation of edible fungi, he said that Ganoderma lucidum carefully cultivated by Zhao Yuxiang is strong and suitable for cultivation, the whole growth process is drug-free and pollution-free, and the spore powder harvested is of high quality and high economic benefits. With the promotion and help of this "soil expert," Shuangkou Town has developed more than 100 growers of edible mushrooms such as Pleurotus ostreatus, Auricularia auricula, and Ganoderma lucidum, with an annual output of more than 2 million kilograms and a benefit of 1.6 million yuan. On the other hand, Zhao Yuxiang, unwilling to the status quo, continued to immerse himself in his research and took the time to compile a book on his planting experience, hoping to help more villagers join the ranks of common prosperity in 2016.
