Pig farming couple receive big accolades and rewards
A man from Xindu, Sichuan province, returned to his impoverished hometown to build a pig ranch after graduating from college seven years ago.
Finding it tough-going trying to create a lucrative business, Wang Xu returned with his wife to his hometown, where they developed an environmentally friendly way to raise pigs. They now own 12 pig ranches and more than 230,000 swine.
