Attracted by the improved rural environment and promising agricultural development, more young people in Shandong province, a major agriculture base in China, have returned to their hometowns to seek work.

In Nandawu village in the Chiping district of Liaocheng, Wu Qianyuan — who was born in the 1990s — started his strawberry-growing business in two greenhouses in 2017. Supported in part by local poverty alleviation policies, he now has eight greenhouses, which have also provided jobs for his fellow villagers.

"As a young person, I'd like to contribute my part in revitalizing rural areas," Wu said.
