On July 13, in Shanggang Group, Cuifang Village, Liaopopo Town, Wolong District, Nanyang City, Henan Province, villager Fan Zhongyang contracted more than 200 mu of mountain land and raised more than 7,300 Partridge chickens and green-shelled laying hens, and is affectionately called the chicken-farming "Dr." by the locals. He also raises breed chickens ecologically free-range through a "specialized cooperative + farmers" model, and using e-commerce sales channels, his eggs are sold to big cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen, at 3 yuan each, bringing gross profits of more than 500,000 yuan a year.

Fan Zhongyang not only earned money himself, but also led villagers to raise chickens and get rich together. In February this year, he invested 500,000 yuan to register and establish the Chunqiu Ecological Breeding Farmers' Cooperative, which has now developed more than 10 members. All villagers who join the cooperative are provided free of charge with chicks that have grown for 45 days and received 10 consecutive vaccinations; they only need to repay the cost of the chicks with 15 eggs after the chicks grow up and start laying, reducing the villagers' entrepreneurial risk. At the same time, Fan Zhongyang also teaches members breed-chicken farming techniques and regularly goes to members' farms to provide free vaccination.
