If he hadn't been a village official in Yingshan County, deep in the Dabie Mountains, Gao Jinlei probably would have been working in Wuhan, enjoying the bustle of a city that Yi Zhongtian described as "good enough to be the capital.
In 2008, Gao Jinlei, who graduated from the Three Gorges University, worked for an advertising company in Wuhan, and in three months he opened up a market of more than 200,000 yuan, which won him the trust of the leadership and made him ready to be sent to the branch as a project manager.

When he came to Cha Maoying's house, the old man threw a bench and drove him out, a situation he had not expected. "The villagers simply could not accept a young man to reason with him." How to get the conviction of the villagers? Gao Jinlei is determined to work day and night to move the villagers --
"Accompany them to do tea together, even if to do 2 o'clock in the night; give them a water, send an agricultural technology newsletter, or pull family life, so that they feel this young man really do things, will slowly accept you.

He became an authentic pig farmer: in addition to going to Wuhan and Xianning to learn from large-scale breeding enterprises, feeding, vaccination, artificial insemination, and carrying feed with the staff? Everything in the pig farm, law degree Gao Jinlei to learn from scratch, to do. Every morning at 6:30 in the morning to get up into the pigsty, cleaning; morning to feed processing dragged to each pen, rationing feeding; evening, but also to learn the knowledge of veterinary pharmacology and breeding management. This is a day in the life of Gao Jinlei, a pig farmer.
November 2009, the first batch of pigs in the pig farm, Gao Jinlei and the director of the farm escorted dozens of pigs to Wuhan to sell. It was pouring with rain and the car had a flat tire, so if one pig got wet and died, it would mean a loss of 1,500 yuan. In the rainy night, Gao Jinlei trekked for nearly an hour on the mountain road, and finally found another car and arrived in Wuhan at dawn.
The hog farm has been taking a step up a year, and in 2011, the Baizhanghe 10,000-head hog farm had sales of 18 million yuan and profits of nearly 2.6 million yuan, making it a key leading enterprise at the municipal level.

Three years after graduating from the university, when his classmates' salaries continue to rise, Gao Jinlei has become a "negative", and often his classmates teased him: "You're not enough for a month's allowance. But Gao Jinlei is quite calm - whenever I see the expectations of the villagers, I feel that what I have done is not the money material can be measured.
In 2011, Gao Jinlei got into the civil service of the local tax system in Hubei province with the first place, but he gave up. The parents scolded him for being unfilial, the family sold the old house in order to pay for his college education, and it was not easy to get the iron rice bowl of the city civil servants, why give up? In Gao Jinlei's opinion, the countryside is the most suitable stage for the placement of youth. "Because my dream is in the countryside, my stage is also in the countryside."
In July 2011, Gao Jinlei became a member of the party committee and deputy mayor of CaoPanDi town in YingShan County. Now, he thinks about how to change the poor and backward face of CaoPanDi town with practical actions every day. He plans to develop the livestock breeding industry, the introduction of a large-scale herb processing enterprises, so that people's pockets.

"The countryside is not a breeding ground for poverty, but a place where passion, dreams and hope can be nurtured, and I'm willing to put down roots here, keep watch, and never stop." Gao Jinlei wrote in his diary.
He said he couldn't forget the night he was busy with the village election in Xingguang Village - "Standing on a high hilltop in Xingguang Village looking up at the starry sky, I'm more filled with awe, more convinced of the belief in rooting in the countryside and realizing my ideals!"
