Blossoming of a dream

Woman changes career to embrace her passion and educate people on the beauty and importance of flowers, Wang Ru reports.

Qiu Yamin, 42, was inspecting her flowers in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan province, one afternoon, while having it livestreamed. When she saw the fading sunlight and realized sunset was approaching, she climbed to the roof, and enjoyed the panorama with about 700 people watching online.

For the woman who made her hobby of planting flowers her job, it's a great pleasure to enjoy the blossoming flowers with others who share her passion.

Back in 2008, Qiu was living a different life, one far removed from pots and plants. The computer saleswoman was bored with her job."At that time, I had a job I disliked, and the busy work day after day meant I did not have enough time to appreciate even the change of seasons. I felt my life would remain the same."
