Zhang Xiong checks grapes at the vineyard of Liu Xia, an impoverished villager he helps in Guoyuan Village of Pengshan District in Meishan, southwest China's Sichuan Province, June 16, 2020. Zhang Xiong, a 34-year-old fruit farmer in Guoyuan Village, now plants 67 mu (about 4.5 hectares) of grapes. He returned to his hometown from Beijing in 2010. Shortly after his return, a car accident and the following treatment cost left him penniless. After his recovery, the village provided him with professional planting guidance, and also helped him to apply for loan. His grape planting career started to make profit in 2013. He bought a house in the urban area of Pengshan District in 2014 and purchased a new car last year. "My next goal is to expand the planting scale and improve the infrastructure of my plantation," said Zhang Xiong. (Xinhua/Wang Xi)
