Finn finds his second home in Hainan village

On Jan 30, Kirmo Wilen arrived in Hainan province for the 15th time. He was again going to spend Spring Festival with his Chinese "grandma".

"Most cities in Hainan are very international now. But I still love the villages here. They have more stories," said Wilen.

A 61-year-old computer engineer and photographer from Finland, Wilen came to the province in 2008 for the first time. "I was fascinated by the sunshine and its passionate people," he said.
