More than 20,000 villagers in Dongzhangpu town in the Feixiang district of Handan, Hebei province, are busily engaged in weaving cane chairs. The income makes their lives easier.
Weaving began to supplant farming in 2011. The annual output value of their products reached 240 million yuan ($37.6 million) last year. Each worker makes about 3,000 yuan per month from making the cane chairs.
