Her name is Shi Yan and she was born in Baoding, Hebei. She is a city girl. Her father has a steady job. Her mother used to work in a chemical plant, and her parents were highly educated intellectuals. At the same time, she herself was admitted to China Renmin University, and then to Tsinghua University, where she received her doctorate. Here we need to talk about her major. Her major is agriculture. As for why she chose this major, it is because her parents often tell her stories about the countryside. The stories told by her parents filled Shi Yan with longing for the countryside, and she also had some good feelings for the countryside. When she was young, her parents often took her to the countryside to play. When she plays, she often follows her grandparents to pick vegetables and grow things in the fields, which makes her very passionate about agricultural knowledge.
It is because of this experience that when she was admitted to Renmin University of China, she chose not to be an official, but to return to the countryside as a farmer. This decision made many people feel incredible, because we all know that many high flyers of China Renmin University are engaged in politics, while Shi Yan is engaged in agriculture. When studying in Tsinghua, she hoped that she could go back to the countryside to engage in agriculture and help farmers grow vegetables and fruits. She doesn't look forward to city life very much. After graduation, she came to the countryside to set up a breeding base, and her income was very high, which made her feel that the countryside was a good place.
In 2008, she came to Su Mingda's "Sheng Di Farm" to study. On this farm, Shi Yan grows vegetables and fruits himself, and even raises cattle. She once wrote a book called "I am an American farmer", which tells the story of American farmers driving a carriage, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. This kind of life makes her envy and she loves it.
She wondered whether agriculture still existed in China. After returning to China, she received many interview notices from large enterprises, but she refused them all. She built a farm in China, the first CSA farm in China. The farm is located in Fenghuangling. This farm adopts the American agricultural model. All the fruits and vegetables on the farm are cultivated ecologically, and she will also raise pigs on the farm. This incident has attracted a lot of attention, so many journalists will interview her. Asked why she came to the countryside, I thought she would answer that she didn't adapt to urban life, but what she didn't expect was that she would walk from the countryside to the city alone once to make her purse swell. This idea changed the idea that many people thought she could not adapt to city life. Now, 1 1 years have passed, and her annual income has reached 8 million, and her ecological farm has also been recognized and supported by many people.
