A blogger with 4 million followers is planning to go back to their village to raise chickens! Are they planning to lose everything down to their underwear?

At my level, an influencer with this many followers, if I do a live stream PK battle, the money I'd make would be easy. Rain or shine, I'll be waiting for you at the village entrance. Hello everyone, I'm Sai Xiaobai. This is Annie. And this is Ponyo. I've now returned to our... hometown in Guizhou. It's Sanqiao Town, here in Daozhen County.

My old home here is called Xiajiagou Village. From my current position, you all can see our entire village. This whole area is the village. Now that I'm back in my hometown, there are a lot of things that I want to ask you all for advice on, my friends. The first thing is, as you all know, the internet and social media are so developed now.

And I have over 4 million followers. A while ago, you all saw that our hometown of Daozhen was hosting the Village BA. Our little Daozhen became quite popular for a bit. So, after I came back to help promote my hometown, many of the local folks said they hoped I could, you know, help boost the local economy.

But, I'm a person who is... very self-aware. I wouldn't dare say I can 'boost' it. Now that I'm back in my hometown, I'm still in the investigation phase. So what do I want to do? First, everyone knows about starting a business back home. In agriculture, it's basically either planting or farming. And if you want to do those high-tech, sophisticated things, we can't manage that.

So, we have to adapt to local conditions. My hometown has a lot of terraced fields, fertile land. And then, with such a beautiful place with its clear waters and green mountains, what is it suitable for, given the local conditions? The altitude here in my hometown is 700-800 meters. For planting, I was thinking of planting chili peppers.

For farming, I was thinking of raising chickens. I'm sure many people will hear this and think, Xiaobai, you really live up to your name. You're such a novice. I am indeed a novice. But my ancestors weren't novices. We all came from the countryside. I'm also a kid who came from the countryside. I only went to the county town for school during middle school.

But my roots are here. The place that gave birth to me and raised me is here. So my emotions, have always been here. Even if I go out in the future, and have 10 million followers online or whatever, I'll never forget this place. I don't need my friends and family from my hometown to come find me. In my heart, I'm still thinking, I want to come back to this place to do something.

I've been a content creator, starting from travel vlogging to shooting human interest stories, taking photos for the elderly and children in the villages. Along this journey, I've spent a full, almost seven years. In these seven years, I've traveled all over the country, seen many places, local customs in the countryside, and the beautiful landscapes of our country.

In my hometown, there isn't anyone like me with so many followers who can help the hometown to create economic value. And then, take some of the local agricultural by-products and other things and send them out to the world. My hometown has many great things. Clear waters and green mountains, outstanding people.

But, it's rarely discovered by others. Look at this beautiful scenery, this open space, all this farmland, it can't be utilized effectively. So every time I see other people's hometowns developing so well, and then I look at my own hometown, when it's so cold and deserted, I feel in my heart... a sense of loss, and desolation.

All these years, every time I've returned home, I've been constantly thinking, constantly making videos. I also hope my friends can offer suggestions and support. Or, if there are any talented people in agriculture or animal farming, who could give me some advice. Sincere and pertinent advice. I'm sure many people will say, You're a novice, how could you think of getting into this planting and farming stuff? But when you're rooted in the countryside, that's the first thing you think of.

Growing fruit in my hometown isn't realistic. But growing chili peppers is really great. An altitude of 700-800 meters is perfect for chili peppers. And the altitude on the other side of that mountain reaches about 1,300 meters. That area over there is a nature reserve. This area here is not. So we can do some things here.

The second thing I want to talk about is, products in the cultural tourism sector. One is river rafting. The rafting here, every summer, people from Chongqing come here for health and wellness and to escape the heat. There are tens of thousands of them. Now, our Daozhen and Sanqiao Town, these two places, including others, and also that Luolong Dadang Town, in Chongqing and the surrounding hotter areas, are becoming more and more well-known.

As for the cultural tourism products, we have rafting, farmhouse inns, and one more thing, our Sanyao Tai is an intangible cultural heritage. It's at the national level. We've made videos about it before, and you all have seen them. That video got over 10 million views. After watching it, many people wanted to come and experience it.

So all these projects are things that can support the local economy. If you want to develop it well, you definitely have to promote it, get more people to see this place, and then develop it. Only then is it possible to grow. I can't guarantee that with my 4 million-plus followers, by coming back to this place, I can definitely make a success of both agriculture and cultural tourism.

these two products. I can only specialize in one. So I'm also thinking, should I get into planting or farming, or should I focus on cultural tourism products? There are many aspects to cultural tourism products. Rafting is for people coming to escape the heat, for health and wellness, to come and have fun. An all-in-one experience of food, lodging, and entertainment.

Right here. Because it's still relatively cool here, compared to the hotter places like Chongqing. I've been thinking about this for all these years. How to get started with this. I've been on the road for so many years, accumulated so many followers, and I also have such a large group of very loyal friends who support me.

The reason I'm making this video is still to hope that my friends, those who have actual experience in related fields, can provide some valuable experience and advice. My suggestion to my dad... My dad is down in the old house below. I've brought you all to see it before. At the time, I was thinking of turning it into a farmhouse inn, to develop it into a manor.

Because the environment here is just... backed by a large mountain, and looking out from the front door, it's a boundless, very beautiful view. I told him, one thing. I said, if you want to do it, what's my suggestion? I said, Dad, you should come back and raise chickens. I hope that you can raise chickens for eggs, and we can sell them online for a price of 1.5 to 2 yuan.

Real free-range eggs aren't expensive, right? I said, you can start with small-scale farming, raise 500 to 1,000 chickens. One hen lays 100-200 eggs a year. I said, as long as you don't lose money, it's fine. I hope that by doing this myself, in a real, down-to-earth way, putting down roots in my hometown to do this, I can let everyone see that we are earnestly working on this.

We want to do this well. At the same time, I also hope in my heart that after doing this, my friends will get to eat good food, let everyone eat food that is safe and they can trust. This is something I've come to realize from my years on the road, a lot about the issue of food safety, a concern I have. At the same time, I hope this action of mine in our local area can get more people's attention.

It might also inspire them to think about what they should do in their local area, adapting to the conditions. Let everyone reasonably utilize this farmland and fertile land. If I develop it well, I will then buy the products from the local people in my hometown. We'll process them well, so that the outside world can see good products and buy genuine local agricultural specialties.

This is my original intention. Because starting with 500 to 1,000 chickens, if we raise them like that, at my level, I'm not bragging, at my level, an influencer with this many followers, if I do a live stream PK battle, the money I'd make would be easy. But I've never done that. It makes more money than doing this agricultural work.

But why do I still insist on doing this? I want to have a real business, to do something more meaningful and valuable. As for making money, if you follow your conscience and do it well, it's a byproduct. It's just a matter of more or less. Whether you earn a lot or a little, we are earning what we deserve. After saying so much, you all should be able to tell from my tone, from my expression, you should see that in my heart, I am quite determined.

So, I would like to ask everyone for your very sincere advice. Oh, right. As for this place, my hometown, you can search and learn about it. This place, Daozhen, Guizhou. My old home is in Sanqiao Town. We are known as the Kingdom of Nuoxi Opera and the Mushroom Capital of the Southwest. We grow mushrooms here.

Down below us, see that over there? That dark patch. There's a mushroom farm there. This mushroom farm has solved some employment problems. But, it's not enough to form a very large scale. My ambition is quite big. I want to form a larger scale operation. But I will start with small things. I'm still pretty down-to-earth.

You've seen me make videos for so many years. We've traveled north and south, to the countryside. We've seen so many good local agricultural products. I know what's good and what's bad. But we can't just say it online or in videos. I just hope that when I do this, I will definitely do it in a down-to-earth way.

I came back to my hometown today because I wanted to let my dad learn more about this place. Starting with raising chickens or planting, or whatever. To talk about the issue of leasing land, the issue of renting houses. And then to make use of the surrounding houses and fields, if you want to utilize them, you have to negotiate with others.

My dad, he's also willing, but he's worried about not having money. I said, start on a small scale. Don't think you can get rich overnight, right? I finally convinced him to come back to our hometown from the city. Because our hometown also has a lot of surplus labor. They can't be productive. And this farmland is lying fallow.

So, we young people go out to work, and the older generation's health is gradually failing. What should be done? So I've thought about a lot of problems. I can't say how great I am, but this is something that I, from over ten years ago, back then, I wanted to do one thing. Make a jar of chili sauce. Our chili peppers are delicious.

In my hometown, the stir-fried chili sauce we make is very fragrant and delicious. So I thought, could I find a way to take these things and turn them into a product, to truly utilize them. Basically, what I want to express should be very clear to everyone. There's not much else to say. Everyone, please give me your valuable advice.

Thank you so much for your support over the years. I've paused updates for a little while recently just to come back here, to look around more, to understand things more, to find a suitable opportunity for development. I don't want to keep drifting around outside. Of course, while doing this, I will continue to go out and shoot videos.

It's not that I'm just stopping here for good. I still hope to go to more places and film like that. But I also have to work on things here. So that's about it. There's nothing else. This video is a bit of a filler. But it's something I must do. Bye-bye. I hope you all can give me some valuable advice. Thank you all.
