Over the past month, Chen Donghai has become much busier as a series of flower exhibitions featuring azaleas, camellias and others have opened in the Yongfu township of Zhangping city, Fujian province.
Dealing with flowers is an integral part of Chen's daily work. He is a deputy to the National People's Congress from Fujian and Party secretary of Xishan village of Yongfu.
Xishan is well known for its azalea plantation, and almost every household in the village grows flowers.
Over 90 percent of the villagers are involved in the industry. They grow the flowers and sell them online and offline. Sales are booming, and this growth has attracted tourists searching for natural beauty.
