In the years that followed, he strove to build a plantation base of 8 hectares.
The sandy soil in the village wasn’t suitable for growing lotus flowers, so he spent over three years improving the land quality.
Good lotus flowers require good water for cultivation, so he toiled to introduce mountain spring water.
His perseverance led to success.
With more than six hundred kinds of lotus flowers, the base has an educational resource for many schools in the region.
The high-quality lotus flowers he planted and related products, such as lotus tea and facial masks, are well-received in the markets.
“The agricultural market in mainland China is huge, with many favorable policies, which gives me confidence in long-term development,” he said. “I am integrating my lotus flower bases across the country, with Xiamen as the core, to identify an agricultural generation incubation center for the youth across the Strait. “
“I hope that more young people will be able to inform themselves and practice, find their guidance and strategies in the lotus flower industry through the platform,” he added.
