In Hongsibao, we saw a new vision and a new way out, and our horizons were broadened. As long as you are diligent and use your brain, you can find your own way out in this land. "
Nowadays, Ma Huijuan is more concerned about the female power of Hongsibao. She pointed out: "I have discovered a phenomenon. The people who have been interviewed and made news in Hongsibao are basically women. People may ask, why are there so many heroines in Hongsi Castle? "In Ma Huijuan's view, this is because Hongsibao, as a development zone, has broken the original land farming model and is more open and inclusive in terms of management concepts, giving women more development opportunities and being able to show their best side. Come out.
Ma Huijuan relied on her faith and love to move from Hongsibao to the Great Hall of the People. This journey has greatly inspired local immigrants and future generations.
