A

In the past, villages in the mountains were usually poor because they were far from cities and short of resources. But now, things are changing. More and more young people are moving back to their hometowns and starting their own businesses online.

Twenty-eight-year-old Liu Fang is one of them. After graduating from a university in Shanghai, she worked in a big company for three years. But she never forgot the small village where she grew up. "The peaches in my hometown are sweet, but farmers could only sell them at very low prices," she said. "I wanted to do something."

In 2022, she went back and set up an online shop. She took short videos of the peach gardens, told the stories behind them and sold the peaches directly to customers in big cities. In the first year alone, her shop sold more than 50,000 kilograms of peaches. Later, she helped other villagers sell tea, eggs and honey too.

Today, more than 20 young people have joined her team. Liu Fang says she is happy not only because of the money, but because she can be with her family and see the village come to life again. "The countryside is a place full of chances," she says. "Young people don't have to leave home to realise their dreams."
