Huo Liang earns about 1,000 yuan ($158) a month running an online shop to sell millet, a humble but nutritious food popular among Chinese customers.
His earnings are remarkable for a financially disadvantaged family in Tongyu county, in Northeast China's Jilin province.
In the county, nearly a third of agricultural produce, including millet, is sold online.
