4 . 回答问题
请阅读以下短文，根据所提供的信息，回答问题。

Li Jing was born in a village in Hubei. She was one of the first college students in the village. She had a good job in Wuhan after she finished her study in university. However, she made a big decision last year to return to her village.

“I just want to improve the life of my villagers while realizing my own personal value,” Li said.

Li’s village heavily depends on agriculture and most of the villagers grow potatoes. But they had to walk several kilometers to sell their products in the town.

First, Li spent most of her time improving potato production. And she usually got the villagers together in the village square to share potato planting skills and sales channels each other.

To increase the popularity and sales of the small potatoes, Li chose video sharing websites. However, it was not easy. Most of the young people left the village for chances elsewhere. The middle-aged and elderly villagers knew little about live-streaming and refused her new idea. She didn’t force them to accept her idea. She often visited and talked to them.

Today the villagers’ lives have been greatly improved with the help of video sharing websites. “In the near future, I will search more ways to improve the life of my villagers,” Li said.
