On the front wall of Yan Hongchang's house in Xiaogang village, Anhui province, is a QR code. Visitors scan the code to link to an e-commerce platform that sells agricultural products produced by local farmers and companies.
Similar codes can be seen on nearly every residence. The platform's operators said the system tracks the specific household through which visitors enter.
Yan, 75, is a celebrity in the village and beyond. Xiaogang is known as the birthplace of China's rural reform, which was initiated 40 years ago.
