Pheasant Farming Helps a Migrant Worker Return Home and Get Rich

Since graduating from junior high school, I had been working away from home year-round, earning about 3,000 yuan a monthworking 8 hours a day at a small factory in Guangdong. From the start of the year to the end, year after year, as the standard of living rose, with a phone, clothes, daily necessities, and the occasional gathering with friends, there was almost nothing left of what I earned.

Things at work were not going smoothly, and my parents were getting older, so I decided to go back to my hometown to start a farming business. A shortage of funds was the biggest problem I faced. With money borrowed from relatives and friends plus savings from many years, I invested a total of more than 200,000 yuan to start this farm.
