LUONAN, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Far away from densely populated areas, Dongwan Village in northwest China's Shaanxi is a good place for ecological breeding in the eyes of post-90s villager Zhou Hongzhen.
In order to help customers have a comprehensive understanding of pigs she raised, Zhou makes realtime broadcast every day to show the breeding environment and growth of pigs. At the end of 2018, the first batch of pigs was put on the market and sold out through the Internet.
The annual amount of piglets at Zhou Hongzhen's pig breeding base has increased to 1,200, with an annual profit of more than 800,000 yuan (about 113,063 U.S. dollars).
Zhou has not only hit on the road of prosperity but also helped three poverty-stricken households in the village get out of poverty.
