Villagers in Xiangyun County, Yunnan, have found a new way of life by growing flowers—going from having little to do during the agricultural off-season to earning 3,500 yuan a month. The county has developed a fresh-cut flower industry, building greenhouses and offering training programs that turn villagers into skilled “flower growers.” This practical approach of “teaching skills and providing jobs” allows locals to increase their income right at their doorstep, giving their lives new hope and direction.
