Farming experts plant seeds of Tibetan friendship

Zheng Yu could be viewed as an ordinary man from Fujian province. But he had an extraordinary life in Tibet while he worked there as a volunteer.

Zheng, as deputy director of the agricultural department of Nyingchi prefecture many years ago, walked more than 200 km across Medog county to inspect local farming conditions.

He wanted to find out what grew well and what else could. His painstaking efforts were rewarded by the introduction of fruit trees that now bring profits to locals.
