Editor's note:

Every Chinese who works hard to live is the most beautiful struggler

Wearing a pink scarf, with two thick and black braids on his shoulders, extending to his waist, he smiled, showing a deep dimple on his cheek.

When I first saw Farrer, she had the warm and sunny appearance of a Mongolian woman.

In 1969, Farrer was born on the Horqin grassland in Xing'an League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

"Grandma told grandma that Mongolian dairy products must be passed down

Farrer is the favorite of the 9 brothers and sisters in Chagan Ide, and the dream of protection and inheritance has never changed

"After natural fermentation, stirring, precipitation, cooking, shaping, drying and other traditional processes, only a dozen catties of milk can be made into 1 catty of milk tofu

In order to get Mongolian dairy products out of the grasslands, Farrah, who lived in the pastoral area since childhood, began to learn Chinese at the age of 30.

"When I was a child, I thought, when I have money, I will open a dairy processing factory

In 2014, the dairy products made by Farrer won the special prize in the "China Xinggan League China-Russia-Mongolia International Food Culture Festival".

In 2015, the once 60-square-meter store developed into a dairy cooperative with a 500-square-meter workshop

　　"Whether I make money or not, I must pass on the handicraft of making dairy products in Prince Tushiyetu's mansion, and let our dairy products from Manlai Gacha go out

　　In the development model of "Party branch + company + cooperative + farmers and herdsmen" in Daiqin Tala Sumu of Keyou Zhongqi, Farrer, as a leader, leads the herdsmen on the grassland to become rich together
.

　　Farrer collects high-quality cattle milk from Gacha and the surrounding pastures to the cooperative, and recruits herdsmen and sisters to work in the workplace
.
"Now there are more than a dozen employees, and their monthly income can reach 30,000 to 40,000 yuan at most
.
"

　　At present, Farrer's dairy product sales network covers all parts of the country, and some products are even exported to Mongolia, Japan, Russia and other countries
.

　　Today's Farrer can not only introduce her dairy products to customers in fluent Chinese, but also learn to use self-media to open up e-commerce sales
.

　　In the past 10 years, Farrer's highest annual sales of dairy products reached 5 million yuan
.

　　In 2020, Farrer was named the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of the dairy production process of Xinggan League, and she felt that the responsibility on her shoulders was heavier
.

　　"More than 450 people came to me to learn the craftsmanship of Wangfu dairy products this year.
I hope more people who like dairy products will come to learn and pass on this craft better
.
" Farrah laughed, her eyes twinkling like stars
.

　　Over the years, Farrah has been injured, made troubled, and even lost her son twice in order to realize her dream.
.
.
Even so, she still moves forward, "When I am 80 years old, I will still persevere
.
"

　　Huala, which means flower in Chinese
.
Today, this flower-like woman is struggling on the Horqin grassland, letting frankincense drift into thousands of homes
