Dropout inspires farmers to become e-commerce tycoons

When Sun Han worked as a courier and security guard after dropping out of university, he never dreamed that one day he would inspire hundreds of farmers to become millionaires.

The 33-year-old was born in Dongfeng, Suining county, in Jiangsu province. The village, which has 1,180 families, is home to more than 2,000 online stores.

In Dongfeng, piles of packed furniture are lined along the roads waiting to be delivered. Container trucks loaded with furniture set off across the country to make deliveries.
