Yang spent a year learning the 128 procedures, from land preparation to apple planting, maintenance to picking, storage to sales, and even took a correspondence course from an agricultural school.

Scientific methods of growing make the flesh of the apple crispy with few fibers and a fine texture, Yang said.

He started to plant apple trees in 2012, and has been running a fruit farm spanning 3.3 hectares since 2016 to plant over 2,000 apple and other kinds of fruit trees.
