In Huazhou, south China's Guangdong Province, 32-year-old Liao Zhilue is transforming his hometown's traditional Huajuhong pomelo industry through e-commerce and innovation. As a "new farmer," Liao has turned his family's farming business into a thriving enterprise, leveraging live-streaming sales to boost revenue. His efforts propelled him to be elected a National People's Congress deputy, where he advocates for rural development. With the Huajuhong industry now valued at over 10 billion yuan (about $1.37 billion), Liao's story reflects a growing trend of young professionals returning to their roots, driving rural revitalization and creating a brighter future for their communities.
