Greenhouses help villagers to grow new lives free of poverty

Heavy snowfall last week pushed down temperatures in Jinyuan village in Qinghai province to a bonechilling-17 C.

Luckily, patches of morel mushrooms planted in greenhouses survived the freeze, with traces of mycelia－the fine, white filaments transporting nutrients－beginning to appear on the surface of the soil.

The scene brought a smile to the face of Wang Yuyun, the village head.
