In the eyes of fellow villagers and colleagues, Choitso, a delegate to the ongoing 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the general manager of Zangdong Treasure Wine Company, is a fair and kind leader and has brought benefits to her fellow villagers by developing a wine business, Tibet Daily reported.

Choitso was born in Tsakhalho or Naxi township  in Markham county, Chamdo city, in the eastern part of the Tibet autonomous region, and she also serves as Party secretary of the wine company.

Tsakhalho is famous for producing salt and wine. In the mid-18th century, French priests brought grape-growing and winemaking know-how to Tibet, which is known as the "roof of the world".

The grape and wine business has since been passed down from generation to generation.

Choitso dreamt of making the locally produced wine sell nationwide and worldwide, and she kept her promise when she returned to Naxi to develop a wine business.

It has been eight years since she started her wine business and she has achieved successes through the years. She said she believes that her initial dream will come true only through hard work and determination.

Under the leadership of Choitso, a wine-related poverty alleviation organization was established in 2016. The organization has provided job opportunities and market resources for the grape plantation business for farmers in the county's three townships.

The plantation area of grapes across the three townships has expanded to more than 66 hectares, and the company has spent more than 15 million yuan ($2 million) on the salaries of employees from impoverished families over the past few years, said Choitso.

Tashi, a villager of Chutsankha township of the county, was from an impoverished family. He has been working as an irrigation worker on one of the company's grape plantations for almost a decade. As a result, he has been able to finance his two children to go to college.

"I hope that my two children can receive a better education and that they can find good jobs after they graduate from college," Tashi was quoted as saying by Tibet Daily.

As a beneficiary of high education herself, Choitso is highly aware of the importance of education, especially in rural areas, and she has been running a sponsorship program since 2015 to support impoverished school kids in rural areas.

She has been sponsoring three students from impoverished families since 2016, spending an average of 60,000 yuan each year.

"Knowledge changes fate, and education is the hope of every poor family," she said.
