Standing in her apple orchard(果园), 58-year-old Li Xiaoxia looks like a traditional farmer. But when she starts talking, it is a different story. The farmer speaks good English.
Li worked as an English teacher for nearly 20 years before retiring. Hoping for a peaceful life, she and her family rented an apple orchard in the countryside in 2022. She put a lot of effort into her new job. She learned about growing apples by visiting experts and doing fieldwork. She also used new technology to protect the apples from hail(冰雹). Thanks to her hard work, her orchard became very successful and created about 200 jobs for the villagers.
Last autumn, however, she had a big problem: more than 50,000 kilograms of apples were unsold. Her family suggested making short videos to sell them. Li decided to give it a try. In the videos, she stood in her orchard and talked about her apples in English. People were amazed at her beautiful spoken English and her inspiring story. Soon, she started selling apples through live streaming(直播). At first, it was difficult, but she kept practising. “Learning and trying new things are never just for young people,” she said.
