Yang limin is a Chinese kiwifruit.

Yang limin is looking at the growth of kiwifruit.

This year, the Chinese kiwifruit in Zhangfang Town, Fangshan District has had another bumper harvest, fruitful and full of customers. But Yang limin, the owner of the largest local orchard, has regrets. What on earth is going on?

It started more than 30 years ago. Kiwifruit is named because rhesus monkeys like it. Because it is rich in vitamin C and contains 17 kinds of amino acids and nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, iron and magnesium, kiwifruit is known as "the crown of VC" and "king of fruit". In 1984, the relevant departments of the municipal and district governments invited "honorable and delicate guests"-kiwifruit seedlings from Chang'an District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province.

"the 5000 kiwifruit saplings introduced that year were planted on a trial basis in four villages and towns, and NT $250000 was allocated to support them. Unfortunately, all of them died. Had it not been for two jin of seeds, the matter would have been ruined." Yang limin said that in the spring of 1985, under the guidance of technicians from Shaanxi Province, Xibai Village, Zhangfang Town, sprinkled seeds into the field and continued to introduce kiwifruit. However, the result is still very bad. The survival rate of kiwifruit planted in that year was less than 10%. In the same tree, the fruit on one side is very normal, but the other side is of different sizes. The young tree has full leaves and looks alive. For some reasons, it has changed from green to yellow and fell to the ground and died. Some trees grow luxuriantly and do not bear fruit.

In the face of one problem after another, the villagers were not frightened, looked for reasons, thought of ways, and stayed in the fields almost day and night. In order to set up this industry and let villagers get rich by planting kiwifruit, village cadres, with more than a dozen women, sent saplings to villagers' homes with three trees in each household. In 1989, kiwifruit produced in Xibai Village participated in the National Agricultural Expo and won the gold medal. In 1990, Xibai Village was jointly named as "China kiwifruit Commodity Base" by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance. Later, the whole town learned from Xibaidai and promoted the planting of kiwifruit.

Just when the villagers thought they had achieved success, a cold spell in the autumn of 1999 froze to death almost all the 1000 mu kiwifruit seedlings that had been popularized and planted, leaving only 53 mu.

The enthusiasm of the villagers has been dealt a blow again. "as a member of the Communist Party, we cannot watch the kiwifruit industry die." It was at this time that Yang limin contracted 100 mu of land and continued to plant kiwifruit seedlings.

Yang limin said that the soil in Xibaidai Village is fertile, nothing can not grow, and failure is due to the failure to grasp its laws. Based on such a mind, Yang limin studied assiduously and assiduously for ten years, skillfully mastered the growth law of kiwifruit, took the lead in setting up farmers' professional cooperatives, and built the largest kiwifruit plantation on the outskirts of Beijing, with a yield of 2000 kilograms per mu and a market price of 60 yuan per kilogram, which is far higher than the price of kiwifruit in other areas, and demand exceeds supply.

The family is rich and the days are good, but Yang limin still has regrets. He said: "kiwifruit planting technology does not belong to me. It is the result of the support of the party and the government. After 30 years of painstaking efforts of my fellow villagers, it is nothing to make my family rich. My wish is to extend it to the whole Fangshan area and even the whole city, so that more farmers can increase their income and become rich."
