(201212) -- JINAN, Dec. 12, 2020 (Xinhua) -- Hu Chunqing arranges the costumes for display at his studio in Caoxian County, east China's Shandong Province, Dec. 11, 2020. While continuing with his study, Hu Chunqing, who is now a PhD student, returned to his hometown in Daji Township of Caoxian County, east China's Shandong Province in 2018 to help his wife Meng Xiaoxia start their own business in making and selling performance costumes and hanfu, a type of traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group. Their business kept booming with Meng working as the designer and Hu in charge of sales. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, their business met with severe difficulties in 2020. With the help of local revenue department, they finally got the bank loan they badly needed. Hu Chunqing's business has offered jobs to over 400 locals and he is cultivating e-commerce professionals for local vocational schools. In recent years, Caoxian County has seen more than 12,000 graduates returning home to start their own businesses. (Xinhua/Guo Xulei)
