The village doctor became a big pigeon farmer.

"Being a 'village doctor' is my main career, raising pigeons is just a hobby. Now it has developed to sell more than 20,000 young pigeons every year, benefiting from the enlightenment gained from participating in 'distance education'." A few days ago, Dali City Yinqiao town Shuangyang village committee Shuangyuan village group pigeon family Zhang Lijie, In the village health room rotation intermittent interview said, A person as long as persistence, patience, Serious, Do anything will be successful.

Zhang Lijie, 42 years old, began to work as a "village doctor" in 1991. There are three medical staff in the village clinic, serving more than 4400 people in Shuangyang Village. Today, his family is the largest "pigeon farmer" in Dali City. "I've loved raising carrier pigeons since I was young. I even won the champion of the carrier pigeon competition in the city." Zhang Lijie recalled that nine years ago from hobby to make money, so instead of breeding meat pigeons. The introduction of 450 pairs of breeding pigeons, relying on their own pigeon breeding skills and medical knowledge, pigeon breeding scale gradually increased. Unexpectedly, a plague in 2010, breeding pigeons died continuously. Fortunately, under the guidance of experts from the Provincial Poultry Disease Science and Technology Center, the rescue was properly carried out, and usually 80% of the mortality rate was controlled within 20%. He felt the importance of "learning." In 2011, Shuangyang Village was equipped with distance education equipment for Party members and cadres in Yunnan Province, and Zhang Lijie became a loyal student of "distant education." Once, the "distant education" feature film introduced a farmer in Changchun City, Jilin Province, who raised pigs by combining local methods with foreign methods: "Pigeon breeding can also be combined with 'soil' and 'foreign'." He redesigned and rebuilt the breeding plant to achieve "warm winter and cool summer." "With a good breeding ground, the quantity and quality of my pigeons have improved." Zhang Lijie proudly said that a 21-to 28-day-old pigeon weighed 1.1 to 1.2 jin, and the largest one even reached 1.5 jin.

The pigeons he raised were mainly sold to Dali, Lijiang, Deqin and other places by "orders", with an annual output value of more than 400,000 yuan. Zhang Lijie said frankly: "I once wanted to give up being a 'village doctor' and specialize in raising pigeons, but finally chose to insist on being a doctor." His family's farm is mainly run by his wife. When the monthly salary of the "village doctor" is only more than 1000 yuan, the salary of all the workers invited to help is not enough. He said calmly: "My mother is 74 years old and has been a 'barefoot doctor' in the village since she was 18. She taught me not to be just a 'rich man' but to be a 'useful man' who won the respect of the villagers. I would not give up my main job as a 'village medical'. Saving the dead and healing the wounded for the villagers is the most important thing."
