First person | Jin Zhiyong

Editor's note: Jin Zhiyong, 31, a gardener with the Beijing Florascape Co Ltd, shares the joy and pain of creating the flower terrace decorations for the National Day celebrations.

Taking care of beautiful flowers is a nice job, but not when you have to cultivate and take care of so many types and make sure they will all remain in bloom for weeks.
