Zheng Shiqiang, a young man born in 1983, is a farmer from Xidabao Village, Liutiaozhai Town, Dengta City, Liaoning Province. He studied computer science and found a stable teaching job after graduating from junior college, but unwilling to work in a routine, step-by-step manner, he had long harbored a dream of starting his own business. In 2012, on a trip back to his hometown, he accidentally discovered the business opportunity of growing organic grapes to get rich, so he decided to resign and go into business. He also persuaded his parents and relatives and friends, borrowed money to contract 90 mu of land in his hometown, and began growing improved organic Liaofeng grapes. He also arranged jobs for more than 10 villagers at his base.
