To support youth entrepreneurship projects, Lin Yue actively coordinated resources from various parties, providing them with business premises and financial support. The village specifically designated an area to establish a youth eco-entrepreneurship incubation base. The base is equipped with advanced production equipment, design studios, and a sales and exhibition center. Regarding funding, Lin Yue secured government entrepreneurship support funds and low-interest bank loans, solving the problem of tight initial capital for young entrepreneurs. For example, she provided 100,000 yuan in start-up capital to a team producing eco-tourism souvenirs, helping them purchase raw materials, hire professional craftsmen, and design product packaging.
Entrepreneurial projects have had a profound impact on the inheritance and innovation of village ecological culture. In the past, the transmission of traditional craftsmanship relied heavily on oral traditions passed down among older generations within families or neighborhoods, resulting in limited scope and the risk of extinction. Now, through youth entrepreneurship projects, these traditional skills are integrated into standardized production processes. Young people invite veteran craftsmen for intensive training and guidance, not only giving more young people the opportunity to learn but also combining traditional techniques with modern design concepts to create more competitive products. For example, in bamboo weaving, young people have incorporated modern minimalist design styles while preserving traditional weaving techniques, making bamboo products both traditional and aesthetically pleasing. In terms of embodying ecological culture, products are no longer just simple handicrafts but have become carriers of village ecological culture. Each souvenir or handicraft contains the village's natural landscape, ecological stories, and folk customs. For instance, the patterns carved on wooden bookmarks tell stories of the village's ancient agricultural culture and the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, allowing more people to understand and experience the village's unique ecological cultural charm.
After their entrepreneurial success, the village's social structure and interpersonal relationships underwent positive changes. In terms of family relationships, many parents, seeing their children's achievements in entrepreneurship, became more supportive and accepting of their choices. Previously, some parents believed entrepreneurship was risky and hoped their children would choose more stable jobs; now, they actively participate in their children's entrepreneurial projects, helping with logistical matters, leading to more harmonious family relationships. Neighborhood relationships also became closer. During the entrepreneurial process, when young people needed various forms of assistance, such as temporary borrowing of raw materials or labor support, neighbors readily offered their help. For example, when a team making environmentally friendly handicrafts was rushing to complete an order and lacked manpower, neighbors came to help, some cutting fabric, others assembling products; everyone worked together without distinction. This atmosphere of mutual help permeated the village, strengthening its cohesion and sense of belonging.
At the village market, stalls are filled with various eco-tourism souvenirs and eco-friendly handicrafts made by young people. Tourists stroll among them, selecting their favorite items with satisfied smiles. Meanwhile, the young entrepreneurs are busy attending to customers, introducing their products, their eyes revealing boundless hope for the future. They know that their efforts are injecting continuous vitality into the village's eco-economy, and that the village will, through their hard work, move towards a more prosperous tomorrow.
