我如何用三十六计战胜害虫

谭静远

《三十六计》可以说是世界上最著名、最具影响力的中国古代智慧之一。虽然它们本是关于战争策略的，但社会企业家 Linda Tan 将这些古老的智慧运用到田间，用来对付另一类敌人——害虫。

通过这种有趣且别具一格的方式，Linda 希望能够将这些智慧传播给农民，并让农业在中国重新焕发吸引力。

Linda 11 岁时随父母从中国移居加拿大。她主修分子生物学，家人和她都认为她未来会成为一名科学家。然而，在她 21 岁时的一次中国志愿者之旅彻底改变了她的想法。她发现自己真正的热情在于中国的农村，并决心为农村发展贡献自己的力量。

25 岁时，她毅然辞去了加拿大安大略省卫生部研究员的工作，回到中国，专注于中国农村发展的议题。如今，她是社会企业“天地人禾”的合伙人。

How I defeat pests with 36 Stratagems

Linda Tan

The 36 Stratagems, might be one of the most famous and influential Chinese literature in the world. They are, of course, war wisdom. But Linda Tan, a social entrepreneur, uses these ancient war stratagems to defeat another kind of enemy – pests in her field.

With this kind of fun and memorable approach, Linda hopes wisdom like this can be passed along farmers and making farming attractive again in China.

When Linda was 11 years old she immigrated to Canada from China with her parents. Majored in molecular biology, all her family and herself were all expecting she would become a scientist. A volunteer trip to China when she was 21 changed her perspective. She found her passion lied in rural areas of China and wanted to contribute to its development.

When she was 25 years old she decided to resign from her then job as a researcher in Ontario Ministry of Health in Canada, came back to China and devote herself into topics of rural China development. She is now partner of a social enterprise Rice Harmony Cooperative.
