To help the impoverished women in her hometown, Wuren has devoted herself to poverty alleviation projects in pastoral areas and ethnic minority mountainous regions since 2014.

"Under the guidance of the government's employment agency, I offered training courses for rural households on how to make sunflowers to earn a living. Currently, 14 women are part of my team as full-time employees, while more than 100 of them are working part-time, with income increasing about 1,000 yuan per month," Wuren said.

According to the Hulunbuir government's official statistics, 12 poverty-stricken families were lifted out of poverty in 2019 by taking part in Wuren's sunflower projects, and each person saw their income grow by 3,000 yuan annually.
