People on Yongxing Island in the South China Sea can now eat vegetables grown on the island, marking a further step of construction on the island, which is of key strategic significance.
Huang Yufen, 50, bought all the food for Lunar New Year's Eve dinner from a newly opened supermarket.
"It was a big dinner. The supermarket has made our life here very convenient, with no difference at all compared with life on the continent," said Huang, a construction worker.
