While farming these steep inclines is difficult and schools are far away, the young "Mountain People" of Zhejiang found their luck in the valleys. They are the backbone of the"Powerhouse Zhejiang," a province that (alongside Guangdong) supplies the world with daily essentials. While many dream of steady government jobs, the people here are born entrepreneurs, always thinking about building their own future.
