一 | CANBERRA, Australia -- A Chinese Australian journalist who was convicted on murky espionage charges and detained in China for three years has returned to Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Wednesday.Cheng Lei, 48, worked for the international department of China's state broadcaster CCTV. She has reunited with her two children in Melbourne, Albanese said.Her return comes ahead of Albanese’s planned visit to Beijing this year on a date yet to be announced. He will become the first Australian prime minister to visit the Chinese capital in seven years.Albanese said Australia had traded nothing with China for Cheng's release.“Her release follows the completion of judicial processes in China,” he said.China’s Ministry of State Security said that Cheng had been approached by a foreign organization in May 2020 and provided them with state secrets she had obtained on the job in violation of a confidentiality clause signed with her employer. A police statement did not name the organization or say what the secrets were.A court in Beijing convicted her of illegally providing state secrets abroad and she was sentenced to two years and 11 months, the statement said. She was deported Wednesday after serving her sentence, presumably because she had already been detained for that long .“Her return brings an end to a very difficult few years for Ms. Cheng and her family," Albanese said. "The government has been seeking this for a long period of time and her return will be warmly welcomed not just by her family and friends but by all Australians.”The FreeChengLei account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted a photo of Cheng with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Australia's ambassador to China, Graham Fletcher.The post included a quote, apparently from Cheng, that read: “Tight hugs, teary screams, holding my kids in the spring sunshine. Trees shimmy from the breeze. I can see the entirety of the sky now! Thank you Aussies.”Albanese’s government has been lobbying for the release of Cheng and another Chinese Australian held in China since 2019, Yang Hengjun.Bilateral relations have improved since Albanese's center-left Labor Party was elected after nine years of conservative rule. Beijing has lifted several official and unofficial trade barriers on Australian exports.Albanese's reference to China's judicial system suggested that Cheng had recently been sentenced after she was convicted in a closed-court trial last year on national security charges.Questioned by a reporter, Albanese said China was not acknowledging through Cheng's release that she posed no threat or had been wrongfully detained.“No, China would have not have said that that's the position. China would say that the judicial processes have been completed in China,” Albanese said.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that the Chinese judicial system tried the case “in accordance with the law, fully safeguarding the rights enjoyed by the person concerned in accordance with the law.”Albanese said he spoke to Cheng in Melbourne, where her children have been living with her mother, and that they discussed a letter she had written to the Australian public in August to mark the third anniversary of her detention. The Chinese-born journalist spoke in her letter about her love for her adopted country.In the letter, she also described her living conditions in detention in China, saying she was allowed to stand in sunlight for just 10 hours a year.“She is a very strong and resilient person ... and when I spoke with her she was delighted to be back in Melbourne,” Albanese said.Albanese did not say whether Yang was also likely to be released.“We continue to advocate for Dr. Yang’s interests, rights and wellbeing with the Chinese authorities at all levels,” Albanese said.Yang, a 58-year-old writer and democracy blogger, told his family in August he fears he will die in a Beijing detention center after being diagnosed with a kidney cyst, prompting supporters to demand his release for medical treatment.Yang has been detained in China since January 2019, when he arrived in Guangzhou from New York with his wife and teenage stepdaughter.Yang received a closed-door trial on an espionage charge in Beijing in May 2021 and is still awaiting a verdict.Yang's friend, University of Technology Sydney academic Feng Chongyi, said on Wednesday a verdict had been postponed for three months 11 times and the next possible ruling was January.He said Cheng’s release was good news for Yang. “I do hope Yang is treated in the same way. Given Yang’s poor health, his release is actually more urgent,” Feng said.___Associated Press writer Ken Moritsugu in Beijing contributed to this report.___This story corrects the name of the Chinese security agency.。
太行鸡。长城网·冀云客户端记者 张超 摄天刚破晓，石家庄平山县北冶乡土岭村后山还笼罩着一层薄雾，山林先醒了。成群的太行鸡扑棱着翅膀蹿上坡坎，在落叶与草窠间啄虫觅食。不远处，150多亩苹果采摘园顺着山势铺展，沉甸甸的果子压弯枝头。谁能想到，十几年前这座藏在山坳里的村子还守着薄田“望天收”，不少村民背井离乡外出谋生。
二 | 如今，太行鸡在林下奔跑，苹果采摘园遍布山梁，一鸡一果两大产业扎根山间，村民在家门口务工、参与分红，山沟彻底换了模样。
太行鸡生态养殖鸡舍。长城网·冀云客户端记者 康义涵 摄顺着蜿蜒山路走进太行鸡生态养殖基地，一座座天蓝色的鸡舍散落林间。走近细看，鸡舍底部是钢架结构，外覆保温层和双层防水帆布，看起来精巧又结实。“这生态养殖鸡舍最妙的地方，是能搬。”土岭村太行鸡生态养殖基地（德禽现代生态农业园）负责人杨少聪蹲下身敲了敲钢架，语气里带着自豪，“一群鸡天天在附近溜达找食，需要定期转场，给养殖场地充足的生态恢复时间。
三 | 一般一年到一年半就要挪一次窝，鸡粪肥了林子，土地也能‘喘口气’。”太行鸡是省太行山沿线地区的特色品种，生性活泼、能跑善飞，最适合林下散养。
四 | 基地里，鸡群基本不喂饲料，每天在山林里自主觅食昆虫、草籽、野果，仅在食物减少时辅以少量玉米、麸皮等补饲。满山跑的鸡，肉质紧实弹牙；下的蛋，蛋黄饱满、营养丰富，成了城里人抢着买的“山货”。目前，基地共有3个专用大型鸡舍和25个生态养殖鸡舍，存栏量达12000多只。
五 | 村民边吉海每天一早就到基地捡蛋、管护鸡舍。
六 | 这份家门口的活计，每月能给他带来3000多元的稳定收入。“以前常年在外打工，老人孩子都顾不上。
七 | 现在出门几步就到上班的地方，既能照看家里，收入也不差。”他抹了把额头的汗，笑得朴实。

八 | ”李晓鹏介绍，整片果园由村集体领办的合作社统一栽种、统一管理，疏果、套袋、采摘全流程吸纳村民季节性务工。每年采摘季，能吸引大批游客进山采摘观光，合作社年底还能按股分红，家家户户共享林果产业红利。谈及村庄长远规划，李晓鹏思路清晰：“下一步我们要把现有产业做深做透。继续扩大太行鸡养殖规模，提高管理水平，提升产品品质；苹果产业方面要延长产业链，计划发展苹果深加工产业，还要把我们村的‘冀土岭’苹果品牌叫响叫亮；联动太行鸡生态养殖基地与苹果采摘园，盘活农旅资源，吸引游客走进深山，让村民依托家门口的产业持续增收，日子越过越红火。”策划：周毅玲文字：张超拍摄：张超 康义涵制作：张超。
