FUZHOU SETS EXAMPLE IN PRESERVING PAST

City follows lead laid down by Xi during his tenure

Born and raised in a century-old mansion he inherited from his late grandfather, Chen Fan has always managed to find solace and inner peace in the heart of a bustling city.

His home lies deep in an alley in Sanfang Qixiang, a highly popular tourist attraction in Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province.

There, Chen drinks tea under a starlit sky, free from the urban din, including noise from traffic.
