The first successes of the 9X farmer
Mr. Tao said he had failed before achieving his current success. "In the past, I studied construction. After a while working, I found the job was not suitable, so I decided to return to raising livestock with my family. During my work, I encountered difficulties with prices, diseases and failed a few times. Then I went online to find out how to limit the disease, but at that time, there weren't many people around me to ask." During his journey of learning and experimenting, Mr. Tao recorded simple and authentic footage with his phone and shared it on YouTube with the simple purpose of saving the process of working. The video content revolves around the story of the farm gradually stabilizing, the livestock becoming healthier after the epidemic, and fortunately receiving enthusiastic support from people near and far. Up to now, he has been widely known, a trusted address for people when learning about livestock farming. He established a company specializing in the production of tools for livestock and poultry farming and carried out many projects to support people in starting businesses and increasing production.

"There was a disabled man who didn't know what to do. He saw my YouTube channel and saw that he could raise animals and proactively contacted me. I helped him with 50% of the cost to increase production. On my channel, I also hired some veterinary staff. They will take care of and support the farmers. If they have any diseases, they will be consulted for free and given enthusiastic help. If they see the benefits, they will be more interested and learn how to develop their work," said Mr. Tao.
Live a good life and be virtuous
"The Catholic hamlet has only 50 households, not many people around. In the past, it felt distant, but now agencies and organizations have paid more attention, there is a connection between religions. I try to create jobs for brothers and sisters inside and outside the commune, currently there are 60 - 70 workers", Mr. Tao said. In the future, "9x Farmer" has many plans to develop himself as well as help the people around him. He shared that he will continue to develop his YouTube channel so that he can be a trusted address when people come to him, want to help and learn more about animal husbandry. He also plans to connect with local youth union secretaries to support young people, poor families, and those without stable jobs, instructing them on animal husbandry, home production, and taking advantage of home garden models to increase production. "Finally, I want to unite with all religions in harmony, without any differences like before. I hope that organizations and agencies will pay more attention to other religions, so that everyone can live a good life and follow their religion," said Mr. Tao.
