Mutellip Toxtiroza got his first job at the age of 22. He was hired as a guard by the Jinken Farming Group, a subsidiary of state-owned enterprise (SOE) Tianjin Food Group, when it opened in Yutian, a county in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, in 2018.
“I wanted to find a job close to home and then I heard they were hiring local people,” Mutellip said. “I had no diploma or technical training so a guard’s job was good enough for me at that time.”
In less than six months, the proactive young man had impressed his bosses and his life has changed.
