In order to maintain the family's economy and treat his wife's illness, Xiao Yuhe once went out to work as a coolie and engaged in pig sales for more than a decade. Gradually, Xiao Yuhe found that the business of selling pigs was becoming more and more competitive, business was depressed, and what to do in his career had been pondered repeatedly in his mind for many years. Once he found a factory making colored tiles in Pingba. When he learned that new rural construction was under way and that tile mining was in great demand and had a good prospect, the clever Xiao Yu and his heart were touched. After going home to discuss with his wife, he began to conduct a market feasibility survey and set up a colored tile factory using more than 2 mu of land at home.

The five disabled people in his factory can get a salary of 2000 to 3000 yuan a month. Years of hard work has earned him respect from others, and his face begins to smile.

The following year, more than 60 mu of Platycodon grandiflorum, 25 mu of Atractylodes macrocephala and 10 mu of Bupleurum were interplanted in the planting field. In 2015, the income of the planting industry reached more than 200,000 yuan, solving the employment of five disabled people.

Xiao Yuhe said: "my mother is blind. I have become disabled as a result of a car accident, and my wife is also disabled. I particularly understand the plight of the disabled, so I must always stick to creating a job platform for the disabled."
