Meet Wang Lingli, the 1990s-born college grad who swapped city life for a 3,000-mu farm in Sichuan – and sparked a rural revolution. 🌾 Armed with smart tech and fresh ideas, she’s proving that agriculture can be the ultimate startup scene. 🚜
Wang faced skepticism (“You studied just to farm?”) but now runs 7,000 mu (467 hectares!), boosting yields by 25kg per plot and lifting farmer incomes to over 5,000 yuan/month. 💰 Her secret? Drones, IoT sensors, and Gen-Z hustle. 📲
She’s part of China’s 12 million+ ‘new farmers’ – educated youth driving Xi Jinping’s rural revitalization vision. 📈 As Han Wenxiu of the Central Committee’s financial office notes: “This isn’t your grandparents’ agriculture.” 👩🌾
From ‘city girl’ joke to national role model worker, Wang’s story mirrors China’s countryside 2.0 – where TikTok meets tractors and diplomas dig into fertile soil. 🌟
