In Zhangxibu township of Yongnian, there's a shoe factory established by a local enthusiast who has liked sewing since childhood and is good at drawing. Wu Xianghuan has helped more than 600 local women and elders get jobs earning about 3,000 yuan ($425) monthly.
Their products are sold both in domestic and overseas markets, including Russia, the United States, Japan and the Philippines, Wu said.
