Rural entreprenur running chicken farm makes fortune via online store, livestreaming

Xiong Ying (R) and her mother prepare chicken fodder in Jinshan Village of Tianzhu County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, May 28, 2020. Xiong Ying had worked as an electronics technician in Guiyang before she quit the job in May 2018 and took over her family chicken farm. In November 2019, the chicken farm expanded with support from a government-backed poverty-relief fund. After the COVID-19 outbreak, Xiong has explored alternative ways to sell home-grown chickens -- the online store and livestream sales program run by the 30-year-old rural entrepreneur continue to make fortune amid the pandemic.
