He returned back to the village in 2017 and started to grow chilies and breed sheep. Wang and his poverty-stricken family worked very hard to pay off his debt.
A plan to register people living below the poverty line was launched in 2013.
In 2017, Hechuan had more than 6,400 registered poor residents, including Wang and his family.
With the help of the local government's poverty alleviation efforts, banks were allowed to lend money for Wang to expand his sheep breeding. Wang earned some money and built a new house in 2017.
One year later, Wang replaced all his sheep with black goats after watching a TV commercial.
"A TV program introduced the black goat breeding industry in Shandong Province. It said that sheep meat is only 40 yuan per kg, while black goat meat is around 160 yuan per kg," said Wang, who immediately called a black goat farm in eastern Shandong Province and bought several nannies.
"Within one year, I sold more than 100 kids. Each kid was worth around 1,500 yuan," he said, adding he earned more than 100,000 yuan in 2016 and his family was removed from the impoverished household list in 2016.
Apart from goats and kids, the 47-year-old also raises dogs, chickens, ducks, pigeons and rabbits in his yard and goldfish in his house. With many houseplants, his house is clean and tidy.
He bought a harvester and employs two impoverished villagers to cut and collect the crops. Three other people in the village have started to breed goats under his guidance.
