Younger Chinese drawn to e-course options
BEIJING - Every day, Huang Wei does a 10-minute economics study course, as she wants to increase her business acumen to engage more farmers in protecting ancient kiln sites. The ceramic expert has set up an eco-agriculture cooperative called "The Porcelain Farmer" in Jinkeng, a village eight kilometers east of Jingdezhen, China's porcelain capital, in Jiangxi province.
As sustainable farming is eco-friendly and good for the protection of porcelain kiln sites dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) more than 1,000 years ago, Huang wants to encourage local farmers to grow organic farm produce.
"Using small gaps in my day to learn more about economics, I feel like someone practicing a martial art. Day by day, you become more capable," Huang said.
