Two years ago, Chai graduated from Tianjin College of University of Science and Technology. He took over his parents' 20,000 square meter plot of land and set up a business: growing Chinese chives.
But instead of growing Chinese chives in the traditional way, Chai plants them in garden pots and sells them directly to customers through an online store. Now his family makes 10 million yuan a year.
Running a business is a dream for many young graduates. Chai is one of those young graduates who have found great career opportunities in rural areas. They make good use of their agricultural knowledge and new skills, and get support form the government.
When Chai came up with the idea of growing Chinese chives, he was not sure about running his own business. But Youth Business China, a non-profit( 非盈利的 ) program supported by the government which helps encourage youth entrepreneurship ( 创业精神 ), gave Chai courage and confidence. The program offers 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in start-up funding to young people who have great ideas. It also assigns( 分配 ) each of them a tutor who provides guidance on spending the money and running the company.
"My relatives and friends regard farming as a bad job. But being a farmer is just my job," said Chai. So far, his products have been shipped to places as far as Dubai on the Arabian Gulf. Chai is confident that he can make a greater success of this job in the future.

Dear Sigmund Friend, My brother plays the guitar very well, so my parents signed me up（报名） for guitar too. But I'm just not a guitar girl. What should I do？ Can't Hold |
|
Dear Can't Hold, Thank you for your letter. While your parents want you to play the guitar, mine hoped I'd play baseball. You would be amazed at how much my parents love baseball. My dad was the star player on his school team, and theyfirst met in line to buy hot dogs at a baseball game! Years ago, my parents thought baseball would just be in my blood and I'd be a talented player. Before I could say "Thanks, but no thanks" they had signed me up and ordered my uniform! Don't get me wrong. My training on baseball wasn't terrible. Our coach was nice and the kids on our team were great. Even though I never became very good at baseball, I did improve by the end of that season. Then something unexpected happened one day. My grandmother took me to the community pool on the way home after the baseball practice. It turned out to be the best time I ever had. I swam happily with a boy called Ben and later we became good friends. Then we decided to join a swimming team. So I talked to my parents about it that night, and they were surprisingly understanding about my wanting to be on a swimming team. But they said I should finish out that year's baseball season first. So dear Can't Hold, here's what I think. Your parents possibly think that because your brother is into guitar, you must be into it too. But they won't know how you feel if you don't talk to them about it. Why not let them know that guitar doesn't seem like the right instrument for you, and give another instrument a try? Maybe you can give violin or piano a shot. Hope my advice is helpful. Sigmund Friend |
