A bunch of small flowers
On the 18th turn of mount baek yunshan road, zhang shihua, the head of the cooperative for the supply and sale of the village, zhang zhongqing county, and cao bin, the professional agricultural cooperative manager, zhang zhou zhongqing, drove for more than 20 minutes and finally stopped near the top of the hill。

There is a dense forest beneath the steep slope. There is a special flower in the forest, not on the ground nor on the branches, but from the trunks. Zhang shihua points to that light yellow flower, and tells reporters that it's iron platinum, "the flowers are attached to the trunk, and they don't look good, but they make $10 million a year!"

East bridge is an agricultural town, but there was no tradition of planting iron and stone. Why are these little yellow flowers scattered in the mountains like stars? Zhang shihua opened the answer with a joke. In 2013, when he was visiting the market in shanghai, he ate with his friends at the restaurant, and in the booth, the waiter took a glass of green and yellow drinks, and he took a soft sip and shouted with surprise: “this cucumber juice is delicious”. Others have explained that this is not cucumber juice, but iron and stone juice for $80。

“if such an expensive species were planted on our east bridge, it would have brought great benefits to the villagers.” with this in mind, zhang shihua went around, searched the internet and consulted the proletariat and finally decided to introduce iron-pumping techniques into the east bridge。

Unexpectedly, zhang shihua's “heated head” was cold at home. “no one knows, and no one has ever planted it, and at first we all thought it was new, but we didn't dare to try it.” at that time, caomoto's views were similar to those of the vast majority of villagers. When zhang sehua invited you to invest in planting, most villagers looked forward to it. Even more sad for zhang shihua, the first year of cultivation ended in failure. "they were eaten by squirrels and insects, and lost everything."
Fortunately, zhang shihua remains convinced that the planting of iron-skin platinum can lead to the mutual enrichment of the villagers, and he has begun to step up the improvement of the planting environment. Later, production stabilized year after year, expanding the area under cultivation to 1,000 acres. “in the beginning, only three or four people invested, now 50 or 60 people, and the largest one invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we are now in a position to spend the proportion of the investment each year.”

This year marks the tenth anniversary of zhang shihua's drive to grow iron and stone. Ten years of a sword, and a new plan is under preparation. In recent years, many forest farmers in neighbouring counties and municipalities have come to zhang shihua to teach him techniques for the cultivation of iron and stone. “in the second half of this year, we intend to build a 30-acre shed to domesticate iron and stone seedlings.” zhang shihua told journalists that their seedlings were purchased, and that a good bottle of seedlings cost $6, with eight series, at relatively high cost. After the construction of the shed, 30,000 acres are grown annually, with a net profit of nearly $1. 5 million. “in the coming year and years, we will also build an additional 50 acres of the temperature-controlled shed, which will lead to the planting of iron and stone under the forest forest in the county through the cultivation of iron and steel seedlings through domestication. We will also promote the radioactive seedling of iron and stone seedlings throughout the province, leading the forest farmers to the development of a supply chain under the forest.”

In the dense forest, zhang shihua bends his back and opens the spray system in turn, and the springs of the clear spring drop in the middle of the mountain, pouring a pile of iron and stone, and a rainbow emerges in the light of the sun. He immediately pulled his cell phone records, and in the image, a yellow flower became more visible in the light of the rainbow, where the dream of him and his people running towards common prosperity was placed。
