Small pigeons launch big dreams, and those who prosper do not forget to "pass on the knowledge and help others along."

**Qiajiang 4 Village, Duolaitibage Township, Bachu County, Kashgar Prefecture, is a village designated for targeted assistance by the village work team of the Autonomous Region's CPPCC. Today the village is bustling with activity, as everyone gathers in the auditorium, chattering and firing questions at one person.
It turns out that Abula Reheman, the famous young pigeon-raising man from Paswusitang 10 Village, Qarbag Township, Bachu County, who became wealthy through raising pigeons, was invited to a neighboring township to give a major presentation. Small pigeons launch big dreams, and those who prosper do not forget to "pass on the knowledge and help others along" - passing his skills on to more young people born in the 80s and 90s who harbor dreams of escaping poverty and becoming wealthy. The work team of the Autonomous Region's Animal Husbandry Department stationed in Paswusitang 10 Village, Qarbag Township, Bachu County, also passed on some of its assistance practices to the village work team of the Autonomous Region's CPPCC. This kind of village-to-village, person-to-person, work-team-to-work-team interactive exchange and communication explores a new path for targeted poverty alleviation! Na Wa, head of the work team of the Autonomous Region's CPPCC stationed in Qiajiang 4 Village, Duolaitibage Township, Bachu County, said to the 10 Village work team: "You have come to deliver 'treasure,' and we are here to receive 'treasure.' Thank you!"
When it comes to the pigeon-raising story of young Abula Reheman, he is quite well known locally. His inspirational story of becoming wealthy appeared on television and "Zero Distance," and he also accepted an interview with **Metropolis Daily. Now many young people born in the 80s and 90s from other counties, other townships, and even the Corps come to seek him out as a teacher, and phone consultations are endless. Young Abula Reheman responds to every request: "Because I understand how hard it is for poor families, and I also understand young people's dreams of becoming wealthy, I hope to pass on my pigeon-raising skills to more young people, so that in the future they can all escape poverty and become wealthy like me, help their families improve their living conditions, and let them live better." The honest young man has a very shy smile, but after investigation and on-site visits, the work team knows that his path to wealth was not easy, and that behind it there are also many bitter stories and helpless moments.
Young Abula Reheman is currently a demonstration household in the development of courtyard economy in Paswusitang 10 Village, Qarbag Township, Bachu County, and also a post-90s leader in becoming wealthy in the village. "He is someone who dares to think and dares to act, the renowned 'pigeon-raising young man,' and outstanding among the young men in the village." In the village, when people mention Abula Reheman, everyone gives a thumbs-up: "Yakexi!"
Abula Reheman, now 26 years old, lives a very comfortable life. The courtyard of the house he lives in is very beautiful and tidy, and he is ahead in terms of increasing the economic benefits of the courtyard. But who could have imagined that 11 years ago, his large family was squeezed into a single mud-brick house, living from one meal to the next with worry? This transformation began in 2005. In March of that year, he went to Qarbag Township as usual to buy sheep, and by chance saw that a farming household raised many pigeons, which sparked the idea of raising pigeons. The enthusiastic farmer told him about pigeon-raising knowledge and the income situation, and he made up his mind to go home and raise pigeons, work hard to earn money, and make his family's life more prosperous. "At that time, the cost of investing in pigeon raising was almost the family's entire savings. But I believed that as long as I mastered the skill of raising pigeons, I could also give my family a good life," said Abula Reheman. Abula Reheman built a pigeon house in his own yard and bought breeding pigeons. His family went from not understanding and worrying to fully supporting him. "I didn't expect him to be so determined. I was completely moved by my son's spirit, and I will definitely support him." Abula Reheman's father, Reheman Keremu, sold his own sheep and cattle and put all 10,000 yuan into pigeon raising.
In recent years, Abula Reheman and his wife have worked from dawn to dusk, devoting all their energy to raising pigeons. Abula Reheman's wife, Mailikaimu Sulayiman, also strongly supports her husband's work. The couple gets up at 7 a.m. every day to mix feed and make preparations, starts cleaning the pigeon house at 8 a.m., and often works until the early morning before resting. Through the couple's unremitting efforts, the income from raising pigeons gradually improved. But they then faced a thorny problem: due to insufficient working capital, daily income could only maintain operations, and the family had no extra money to invest and expand. "Because funds were tight, the development of pigeon raising also encountered many difficulties. Fortunately, with the assistance and guidance of the village work team, we have now passed the difficult period. These past two years have seen the fastest development. As soon as the third batch of the village work team arrived, they conducted key research and investigation and verification on my pigeon raising, and gave me a lot of very good suggestions. Now I am full of confidence in the future!" When mentioning the past, Abudula's tears welled up in his eyes; when mentioning the future, the young man beamed again.
After 11 years of hard struggle, "the young man's little pigeons" are now very well known in Qarbag Township, and the young man's life has gradually improved. Now that he is rich, he has not forgotten that when he was a child, because his family was poor, he saw neighboring children had their own toys while he had none, and for a long time he was so unhappy that he was unwilling to leave the house. Today he has used his own two hands to create a beautiful future for his family and his children, but he has not forgotten the children and families who need help just as he once did. He enthusiastically helps villagers, provides free guidance on pigeon-raising techniques, takes on apprentices for free, gives free presentations on his pigeon-raising experience, and passes on his pigeon-raising skills to more young people who harbor dreams of becoming wealthy. Yahepu Rexiti is one of Abula Reheman's apprentices. He is 25 this year and lives in the same village as young Abula Reheman. "I am learning pigeon-raising skills from Abula Reheman because I want to change my family's poor situation. I also raised some pigeons, but could never develop it. Many people in the village are now gradually starting to get on the path to wealth, and I also want to carve out a new world of my own by raising pigeons," said Yahepu Rexiti. He hopes that after mastering a skill, he too can stand on his own feet, escape poverty, and become wealthy.
At present, the pigeons raised by young Abula Reheman are worth more than 200,000, and annual gross income can reach 100,000 yuan. In order to fully leverage Abula Reheman's exemplary and leading role, the third batch of the village work team of the Autonomous Region's Animal Husbandry Department, together with the village two committees, carried out planning for the village's pigeon-raising industry, and with Abula Reheman taking the lead, established a pigeon-raising cooperative. At the same time, giving play to the work team's industry advantages, they contacted multiple parties and raised 200,000 yuan in funds to build an 800-sq-m pigeon-raising cooperative. They are now preparing to purchase 1,000 pairs of Tarim breeding pigeons and more than 2,000 pairs of meat pigeons, to drive 50 poor households out of poverty, and to provide technical guidance to 5-7 pigeon-raising farming households. The work team believes that, on the one hand, Abula Reheman's inspirational story uses one point to drive an entire area and has a strong demonstration effect. Vigorously publicizing his uplifting spirit of "as long as you work hard, you can change" can inspire more young people to actively start businesses and escape poverty and become wealthy through their own efforts. On the other hand, the pigeon-raising cooperative project has a good foundation, and expanding its scale can help more villagers escape poverty and become wealthy, playing a role in targeted poverty alleviation. "Small pigeons launch big dreams" - young Abula Reheman's dream will surely come true!
