What is Chinese modernization? Maybe you can find the answer in the "hometown of grapes" in Beizhen, northeast China's Liaoning Province. Grapes have been grown there for over 300 years.

In recent years, agricultural modernization has enabled viticulture through technology. Growing grapes has shifted from the traditional way to facility cultivation. In greenhouses, automatic watering can be achieved by simply opening the valve, which greatly saves labor. At the same time, agricultural modernization has also increased farmers' income. According to the head of the cooperative, a 0.47-hectare grape greenhouse can bring over $41,000 in revenue a year.
