In 2018, after working outside for more than 10 years, Yang returned to his hometown of Danzhai and started his own business in frog breeding, since it is a popular ingredient in surrounding cities. 

To cultivate frogs with good quality, Yang selected the tadpoles and established a breeding base on his own. 

Thanks to the good rural environment that is free of pollution, Yang's frogs are well propagated and popular in the market for their healthy conditions.

To date, the 35 year old has extended his frog breeding base to more than 10 mu (6666.7 square meters). In addition, Yang plans to establish agriculture cooperatives with local farmers to scale up in the frog industry and share his experiences.
