Wu Shunlin: Young Rich Leader

Wu Shunlin, 36, is an ordinary farmer in Changxi Village, Changxi Township, Shexi. after years of hard work, he has become a famous farmer in the township, with an annual output value of more than 4000 million yuan and an annual profit of nearly 1 million yuan.

In his early years, because of his poor family, Wu Shunlin went home to work as a farmer after graduating from junior high school, helping his family grow and sell tea, and took odd jobs in the factory, earning only about 3000 yuan a year. In 2003, Wu Shunlin started the tea business. Without plant and equipment, he could only collect fresh leaves and sell them. Over the past two years, his income was less than 10,000 yuan. He realized that to get rich, there must be a spirit of innovation. So he decided to contract the Longxu Tea Garden in the original Red Flag Village to engage in special breeding. Through a period of operation, he saw the prospect of the industry. With the further deepening of reform and opening up, he realized that new opportunities had come. With the support of the township government and the support of various policies to benefit the people, he borrowed money from rural credit cooperatives and expanded the contracted area of the mountain farm in 2007 to develop special cash crops. In the course of operation, he also studies through various channels to improve his own quality. In 2009, his enterprise was listed as the "double training and double belt" demonstration base in Changxi Township. Among them, there is a tea base of 200mu, with an annual net income of 300000 yuan.

In order to adapt to the increasingly fierce market competition and open up a broader world, he realized that he must build a brand and establish an image. In 2007, he established Shexian Changxi Shuntai Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., and set up a professional cooperative of Longxu planting and breeding industry, and successively developed more than 1000 mu of special cash crops. The company buys a large number of fresh leaves from surrounding villagers, which promotes the enthusiasm of young farmers to plant tea, improves their living standards, and provides jobs for rural surplus youth labor force. The company now has more than 4 million yuan in fixed assets and an annual income of more than 1 million yuan.

Wu Shunlin confidently told the author: "I hope to further build a series of brands in three years, reaching more than 20." At present, he has contracted more than a thousand mu of barren mountains in Changxi Village, and invested in the construction project of traditional Chinese medicine base in Changxi Village, Changxi Township, planting traditional Chinese medicine such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Platycodon grandiflorum, etc., with a planting area of 2000 mu. At the same time, he recruited a large number of young workers with skills, especially poor families. At present, there are 200 growers and 20 skilled workers. Wu Shunlin said that Chinese herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Platycodon grandiflorum are herbs with the function of absorbing water and fixing soil. Therefore, the construction of seedling base plays a certain role in conserving water sources and preventing soil erosion.

Today, Wu Shunlin has become the leader of rural youth in Changxi Township. He told me, "I will use my success as an example to impart experience and ideas to others, so that we can work together on the road to wealth."
