Livestreaming playing vital role in expanding employment

Several weeks ago, I had an opportunity to interview some young entrepreneurs of the post-1995 generation who had returned to their hometowns to start new businesses after graduation, leveraging short-video livestreaming platforms to sell agricultural products.

Yan Linying, born in 1997, from Binchuan county of Dali, Yunnan province, was among those who impressed me the most.

The local specialty of her hometown is purple single-headed garlic, with an annual cultivation area reaching 10,000 mu (666.7 hectares).
