Fishnet bag leads to bigger haul
Fisherman's daughter in Fujian province uses creativity that pays dividends on remote island, report Xing Wen and Hu Meidong.
Just when she was pondering her entrepreneurial direction, a guest named Guo Jingshu arrived at their guesthouse and everything became clear.
Guo, now the executive director of a design company based in Tianjin, first visited the island in 2020.
She is also a graduate of Tsinghua University's School of Architecture.
The school of architecture set up its first rural vitalization station on Yushan Island in July 2018 as part of a nonprofit project aimed at leveraging resources from the university to boost development in the areas near these stations. While the project organizers implemented construction plans, local governments provided financial support. Every summer and winter break, Tsinghua University organized students to participate in rural planning and tourism development on the island.
