As the Lunar New Year is getting closer and closer, on February 7, in the Haiping Nursery located in the Taipingshao Residents Group of Taipingshao Community, Damo Ancient Town, Luliang County, the owner of the nursery, Ding Haiping, was busy pruning seedlings. When he saw us, he took off his hat, put down his scissors, and greeted us warmly.
The Taipingshao Residents Group is a reservoir resettlement area in Maojia Village, Huize County. When Ding Haiping was 4 years old, he moved with his parents from Huize County to Taipingshao. Over the past 55 years, he has witnessed the changes and development of resettlement areas, and at the same time embarked on a path of entrepreneurship and prosperity.
14 years ago, Ding Haiping built a nursery base and took the first step in entrepreneurship. After years of development, his nursery base has also developed from the original few acres to the current 20 acres, with more than 100 seedling varieties and 6 workers all year round.
The employees have just had a holiday, and they are busy going to the city to buy New Year's goods. Ding Haiping said, "I give the workers a holiday, but the seedlings don't give me a holiday." We were instantly amused by his humorous words.
During the interview, when we asked about unfamiliar seedling varieties, Ding Haiping always answered fluently. In his words, we can deeply feel his love and dedication to his career.
After saying goodbye to us, Ding Haiping put on his hat again, picked up scissors, and returned to his post.
The moment we looked back, we saw the lush seedlings, bathed in the spring breeze and warm sun, swaying their branches, exuding vitality.
