Searching for the roots and soul of goji, the gojis in Zhongning, Ningxia have become red

In Ningxia, Zhongning county's gojis have become ripe, and this red can not be separated from the Zhang Zuohan and his son. With decades of dedication and persistence, Zhongning Goji is famous all over the world. 

In the 1950s, when residents in Zhongning county have pulled out the gojis to plant grain, Zhang Zuohan insisted that goji, the most representative plants of Zhongning county should be grown. At that time, this decision was not understood by the crowds. However, it is also this decision that has preserved the continuation of the Zhongning Goji. 

Now, Zhang Zuohan's son, Zhang Weizhong, has taken over his father's lifelong insistence. He promotes "Zhang's pruning method" in the northwest region, greatly improving the yield of goji, leading countless goji farmers to the road to wealth. 

At the age of 73, he is still in the field to personally take care of the goji, someone asked why he did not employ people to pick, his answer is "I almost planted a lifetime of goji, and I can not let it go".
