China DailyA villager prepares fresh-cut roses at the Qufang Modern Agricultural Industry Park in Wujia Qufang village in Juxian county, Shandong province. ZHAO RUIXUE/CHINA DAILY Zhang Jicai, a villager in Rizhao, Shandong province, spends 10 minutes walking from her home to a rose-growing greenhouse at the Qufang Modern Agricultural Industry Park where she works. "Years ago, young people in our village went to cities to work, but now they are eager to return to the village because we can earn a decent salary by working in the park," said Zhang, adding that more importantly, young people who return can take care of their children and parents. "The fresh-cut flowers can last for two weeks, about twice as long as regular roses," said Zhao Shanxing, chief engineer of the park.
