"It is too expensive to have the similar treatment for me and my wife, and we have already been accustomed to the silent world anyway. What we want is to make sure our daughter can hear." Earlier this year, when the family's story was spread out by a blogger, they surprisingly received loads of kindness and encouragement from a lot of strangers.

Song Lianfeng, 39, is a native of Gaogongzhuang. Local farmers mostly grew greenhouse vegetables, but the costs for purchasing seedlings were high. In 2011, Song saw the market demand and decided to engage in vegetable seedling business. In order to master the techniques of vegetable seedling raising and planting, Song spent years studying and exploring. With the help of technicians, he was able to solve several technical problems. In recent years, Song has further expanded his business scale and has driven surrounding villagers to engage in vegetable seedling raising and vegetable planting, providing more than 100 jobs for nearby villagers. "I grew up in the countryside and have a deep love for agriculture. I hope that more villagers can live a better life through the vegetable business." Song said. (Xinhua/Zh
