In 2017, she left her job in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and went back to her hometown of Cili County in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. At that time, much of the farmland there was deserted. Seeing this, Ning decided to be a farmer. She started with growing rice and rapeseed (油菜籽) in 2020. She rented (租) her land and hired villagers to work it.
Ning now farms more than 66.7 hectares of land. More than 300 housewives have worked part-time on her land.
“It’s never easy, ”said Ning, who was elected (选举) as a deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) in 2023.
At first, her decision to become a farmer confused (使困惑) many. Farming is often seen as an “unsuitable” job for both the post-90s generation and women in general. Also, she didn’t have enough farming knowledge. However, Ning loved farming.
“When you’re tired, you can stop and rest and do what you want to do. Everyday, you can embrace (拥抱) nature, which is the poetry and far afield (诗和远方) that many people hope for, Ning told the People’s Courts News and Communication Agency.
Ning has tried to turn farming into a “trendy” job. Rather than depending on farmers, she embraces mechanized farming, such as using harvesters and cultivators (耕田机). She also plans to make use of agricultural tourism in Zhangjiajie so that children living in cities can experience farming.
Being elected as an NPC deputy has inspired Ning to feel responsible for farmers. During the two sessions (两会), Ning suggested including greenhouses in agricultural insurance plans, as recent freezing rains hit her hometown and caused losses to farmers.

【推荐3】An engineer named John Roebing thought of an idea to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. He shared his idea with building engineers throughout the world, but no one was interested and they asked John to forget about it. According to them, it was a very difficult task and impractical to be done.
However, John could not forget the picture he had in his mind of the bridge. He thought about it day and night and wanted to share it with someone who would believe in his idea. John's son Washington Roebling was a young engineer then. He believed in his father and thought that the bridge could be built.
John and Washington, working together for the first time, developed plans of how the bridge could be built. They hired(雇佣) their workmen and began to build their dream bridge on January 3rd, 1870.The project started well, but after a year, a terrible accident took John Roebling’s life. After that, Washington began to take charge of the bridge. However, after a few months Washington was seriously hurt, and it caused him brain damage. He was not able to walk or talk. The building of the bridge stopped.
Everyone around him lost hope about the future of the project. “We told them so.” “Crazy men and their crazy dreams.” These words hurt Washington, who still lay in hospital. However, his dream was still alive. He wanted to get up and continue his work, but his poor health did not allow him to. At that time, Washington could move only on finger and this gave him an idea. He tapped(敲打) that finger on his wife Emily’s arm, meaning he wanted her to call back the engineers. Then he used the same method to tell the engineers what to do.
For the next 11years, Washington gave instructions(指示) by tapping on Emily’s arm and she patiently passed on his message to the engineers. The bridge was finally completed and opened with a big celebration in May 1883.
Today, the 5,989 feet Brooklyn Bridge stands over the East River as one of the best examples of human will and love.
