Since the establishment of the cooperative, Micongguo has taken it as its responsibility to lead the masses to become rich together. Over the past few years, he has successively led and introduced more than 50 people from the village and surrounding areas to work and find employment in his studio, successfully helping them get rid of poverty and winning the praise of the people in his hometown.

I will also consider building homestays and other supporting facilities." Cong Guoxin Looking forward to a bright future for the development of the village.
Several times of wind and rain, several times of spring and autumn, after 20 years of tempering, Miao Congguo has grown from an ordinary farmer to an inheritor of the cucurbit silk culture in Dehong Prefecture, and a leader of the masses to become rich. He always kept in mind that he was the son of a peasant, and when a flower blooms, it is not spring. Only when the masses are rich is the last word.
