Mr. Li’s Story
Mr. Li is a 45-year-old farmer who recently returned to Yilong County after moving to the city for several years to raise his family.
"My wife and I used to work in Guangdong, and we only earned 4-5 thousand RMB a month. We decided to come back home since our parents are getting old. We now both work at the local Bombyx silkworm farm, earning nearly 10,000 RMB a month. We can now take care of our parents and children. There is great potential for the silkworm industry in the future, and we are happy about our decision.”
